  • When keeping skeletons in one’s closet doesn’t immediately imply what you think it does:

    • “Honestly officer, they’re only redundant backups. Just some copies of the homo sapien genome…”
    • “Save it for the judge, you bastard.”
    • “Alright, you can confiscate my closet, but I practice a 3-2-1 backup strategy, and you’ll never find them all!”

  • I wonder if they were specimens that were ideally fossilized, but only in a portion of a tectonic plate that was eventually pushed below the mantle and liquefied into molten lava.

    Exotic skeletons from hundreds of hyper localized species, all pristinely preserved in so much detail miraculously for millions of years due, only to eventually turn into very hot rock just before ever returning to the near surface for paleontology discovery.

    Time on earth makes for very lossy data archive. Ohhh, the entropy!




  • On your Lemmy account settings when logged into your home instance from the web, do you have “Show Read Posts” unchecked? That will insure any posts you’ve marked are read from any client won’t get sent to you again when you refresh your feed later. This is a double edge sword as it can make finding read posts harder when uncheck. Some clients may do some filtering on the client side, but also enabling this server side make hiding read posts a lot more consistent between browser and other clients from the same account.
