Lol. Those people definitely talk funny.

Did we watch different videos? The only person who seemed in favour sounded like he was German. One person was worried that you get less mileage in your car with kilometres. Another mentioned that Britain used to rule the world and now it’s “part of a community”, which they said “ain’t right”. Yet another said they fought 10 years in the war (?) to keep things how they are, but now people want to change everything.

All in all, the sentiment was overwhelmingly negative.

Pets.com went bankrupt within 12 months of its IPO. It was ahead of its time.

I’m resisting the urge to recreate r/Peloton (a sub about pro bike racing) before someone uses the name for a community based on those dumb exercise bikes.

Seems more like it’s going to be celebrity pro-am golf, with the celeb amateurs being from other sports that Netflix has produced documentaries about — which would be tennis (Breaking Point), Formula One (Drive to Survive), maybe cycling (Tour de France: Unchained)?

It would be even stranger if she was found breathing in a coffin at someone else’s funeral.

 

“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

In this case it was the other way round. They conducted the research because of the mining proposals.

I also approve of me joining Lemmy.

TLDR: Nobody wants them, not even the banks. Offered for sale at $25,000 (which is the supposed melt value), but no takers so far.
