I think that’s a weirder scale than the one I’m using.

They are naturally imbalanced though (and they’re slightly different for posts and comments) - in some sense they are for increasing and decreasing visibility, promoting and demoting i.e.

upvote being “I liked this so much I think more people should see it”

no-vote “I don’t care about this, or dislike it - I don’t think it should he seem by more people”

downvote then being “I hate this so much I wish to actively stop other people seeing it”.

Perhaps an easier way of looking at it, is you go to see a gig, and the band finishes a song - if you like it, you applaud loudly. If you don’t like it, you stay silent, or give a half-arsed polite applause. If you hate it, or find it offensive, you actively attempt to “booooooooo” them off the stage.

It may of course just be cultural differences about positivity and negativity.

In the other hand, it may of course just be me, being weird :)

I’d still upvote something if it contributed to the conversation/discussion/argument, even if i personally didn’t agree with what the person is saying.

If it didn’t really contribute anything, I’d leave it blank.

Not really, I would say I take them as intended.

I wouldn’t downvote something unless it was hateful, bigoted, offensive, bullying or so horribly wrong as to be offensive. [Edit] or spam.

Yeah, but what about downvotes?

That’s like 15 people walking up to you to say “I liked that, thank you”, but then one person comes up to you, calls you a cunt and punches you in the face.

That’s some damn fine maths, thank you :)

They’ll get round to it. They’re doing the graphics first. They’re currently making individual 3D models of “all the stars”.

Those were just rare special edition sharks. The rest of the sharks were just normal ones.

Ah well, it’s a shame, I was looking forward to pedantically correcting people with “Actually, Jedi is plural - so technically speaking, Luke Skywalker is a Jedus”.

Is the singular also Jedi, or is there a lesser known Jedo, Jedus or Jedum knocking around that we should be using?

Does it annoy you that your combination square has metric on one side and American on the other, instead of having the same measurement on both sides?

How do you cope with measurements on both the inside and outside of corners?

I know of the Estonian football team, but are there any other Floras?

“Flora” is the plants one and “Fauna” is the animals one.

[Edit] Depending on where you live, Flora is also a female name and a brand of margarine.

As you’re “asking Lemmy”, I think the most Lemmy-like option is to set up a sort of paved guillotining area to be used to execute billionaires.

Once they’ve been culled to an appropriate level, they can be composted down into good soil.

Then you can rip up all the paving and deinstall the guillotine(s), then plant your moss/wildflowers/veg/local plants/bee-friendly plants etc.

High Dairy Milk Interface?

…and less “mainstream” than Windows?

I spotted the first one pretty quick without a red circle, but the second one took me ages.

After how many decades should I expect this “occasional phase” to end?
