  • There are very few Far Side cartoons that I can this about, but…

    Do. Not. Like.

  • Dear Reddit,
  • Wow, I had no idea this is what it's from! It took a few minutes for me to get the exact frame, but when I did, it was obvious. Thanks!

  • Pet wolf hybrid attacks, kills 3-month old baby in Alabama
  • That's the problem, this wasn't a dog. This was a dog/wolf hybrid, which is more aggressive than a normal dog. That's one reason why this is national news. The article also says that there were more children in the home too, so the owner should be charged with multiple charges of child endangerment as well as manslaughter in the death of the baby.

    This isn't just a dog attack story.

  • Dear Reddit,
  • Musk must have come up with the idea. Wait, there's no $4.20 option, so maybe not.

  • Dear Reddit,
  • While I like the sentiment, in reality I think it would do the same thing as it's doing on Reddit - turn Lemmy into a huge bot farm trying to get money from real users.

  • Dear Reddit,
  • Okay, that makes sense. Maybe it's the Mandela Effect, but I swear I remember a cartoon where Bugs says "No" similar to how he's shown in the still. Maybe not (?).

  • Dear Reddit,
  • This is off topic, but why isn't there an animated gif of Bugs Bunny saying the "NO"? I mean, we have animated gifs for almost everything else, but I only see this as a static pic. Can no one find the cartoon that this is from and create a gif from it?

  • Phantom is now Quiblr (and auth support added!)
  • That works a lot better! Thanks for the great work!

    EDIT: Not to be greedy, but any chance you can add one more text size and go one notch bigger (especially for comments, which have a smaller text size than the post titles)?

  • Thanks, I’ll give it a go!

  • Donald Trump wants Jan. 6 police to be charged for fighting rioters
    www.newsweek.com Donald Trump wants Jan. 6 police to be charged for fighting rioters

    Trump shared a call for Capitol Hill police who "beat the hell out of innocent J6 protesters" to face criminal charges.

  • Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

    Oh, it’s a banana? Ok…

    House Oversight Committee chair James Comer swears he has a good reason for not wanting Hunter Biden to testify in public, and it’s definitely not that Republicans have no case.

  • うーん、ええと

  • Phantom is now Quiblr (and auth support added!)
  • Yep, it seems that you added some black space at the top, and that got the job done.

    One request - any chance you can increase and/or make a setting for comment text size? It’s much smaller than all the other text and hard to read for my old(er) eyes. I can use the zoom on Safari to increase the page size before saving it as a PWA, but that makes the text run off the right side of the page, requiring me to scroll back and forth to read comments.

  • Sources: Bobby Petrino to be Arkansas offensive coordinator
  • And why does he need the school president’s approval? See my post in this thread about the infamous motorcycle accident.

  • Sources: Bobby Petrino to be Arkansas offensive coordinator
  • Oh, and for anyone who might stumble across this thread and not know exactly what the relevance of that picture is, it was taken at the news conference following his motorcycle wreck.

    You know, the wreck he had when leaving his wife and family at home and going for a ride with his much younger blonde mistress on the back. When his security detail showed up, Petrino tried to pressure the guy into saying that he was alone on the bike. Petrino stood before the University of Arkansas president and claimed he was alone on the bike. And at that very news conference where the picture was taken, he claimed in front of the media that he was alone on the bike. The mistress that he desperately wanted to keep quiet about? He not only wanted to keep his marital impropriety a secret, but it also turns out that he had hired her for a high paying position with the team - player development coordinator - after they had become romantically involved. A HUGE ethical violation, which is one of the reasons he was “fired with cause” and now needs the school president’s approval before he can return.

  • Sources: Bobby Petrino to be Arkansas offensive coordinator
  • And don’t forget that he stood in front of Arthur Blank and told Blank that he wasn’t looking for a job, he was the Atlanta Falcons head coach. Before the end of the week, he had sneaked off during the night to become the Arkansas head coach after the 13th game, not even completing an entire season. He never addressed the team, leaving them a note taped to their lockers. He told the coaches he would talk with them at a later time, a time that never came. Former Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was Petrino’s defensive coordinator for those 13 games. In 2010 Zimmer was asked in an interview about Petrino, and he didn’t hold back, calling him a “coward”, and my personal favorite, a “gutless bastard”.

  • Man, some schools just never learn.

    In the case of Bobby Petrino, this Maya Angelou quote comes to mind: "When people show you who they are, believe them."

  • Nonexistent Notification That Won’t Go Away

    I have a red circle with a “1” for a notification on the home screen, but I don’t have any unread messages. Any idea what’s causing it or how to correct it?

    EDIT: I have 3 accounts added, but I’ve checked all 3, and there’s no unread on any of them.

    NFL.Community - Not Seeing Posts - SOLVED

    I am a big NFL fan, and I found the instance nfl.community. It has a community for each team, as well as a general NFL community. I joined a couple of the communities through my lemmy.world account, but it sees no posts there. I know this instance isn't defederated from nfl.community, so why wouldn't I be able to see any posts? I don't understand, what am I missing?

    EDIT: I just reread my post and realized that I didn't mention that there are tons of post on all the communities on this instance, but nothing shows when logged in through World.

    SOLVED: So I had the chance today to reread through this thread and do some digging based on the replies, and I've figured out the issue. I went back and looked at nfl.communities, and it turns out that can@sh.itjust.works is correct - all the posts on that server are by users that are from the alien.top instance. Those aren't actual users, alien.top just scrapes posts & comments from Reddit. So those aren't actual posts by Lemmy users, and, as can said, there wouldn't be any engagement from anyone on that server, because they won't see my posts & comments. Lastly, I followed a link can posted with bot rules, and one of lemmy.world's policies is "Bots shall not just be posting Reddit content", which is exactly what alien.top is doing. That explains why World is blocking all the posts from the nfl.communites server.

    Thanks to everyone who responded and helped sort this out!

    More Replies That Won't Open?

    Maybe this is a Lemmy thing and not a Voyager thing, but sometimes in a comment thread there will be text that says “1 more reply” (or whatever the number is) like in the picture. No matter how many times I click it, it doesn’t open.

    Is there a setting that I missed? Is there a reason that I just don’t know?

    Reddit Enhancement Suite for Lemmy

    I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I've started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.

    Jump To Next Parent Comment

    About 10 days ago I wrote a comment on a post about an update to Memmy. I asked for an orange icon, which was added a day or two later.

    I also asked for a way to jump to the next parent comment on a post, whether that be a small button on the bottom like Apollo or a swipe, just a way to get out of a comment chain and move to the next parent comment without having to just scroll and look. I got a reply saying that you were going to start working on it, and I thought it would be out by now, but I haven't seen anything about it.

    Is that still coming?
