Many subreddits are holding polls on whether they should continue the blackout. For those who are boycotting Reddit, I would highly encourage you to go vote. Even if you plan to leave Reddit for good, a longer blackout will drive more users here.

During the height of Covid I worked at a local pet supply chain. Corporate wanted us to call customers who hadn’t shopped in a while and beg them to come back. Not only were we short-staffed, now they wanted managers to sit on the phone all day spamming former customers instead of helping out on the sales floor.

I refused to participate since we always promised customers that we’d only call them if there was a recall on pet food. Of course I got reprimanded for keeping that promise. We were already losing business to Chewy and Amazon—why would we want to burn through our customers’ goodwill by calling and guilt-tripping them for not shopping with us?

In beta, if you slept somewhere potentially exposed to monsters, there was a chance you’d wake up early with a zombie or skeleton spawned right next to you.

Now you just can’t sleep if monsters are nearby, but if you do fall asleep you’ll be fine until morning.

Yup, but once you do fall asleep time skips ahead to morning. No mob behavior is simulated.

I was watching a streamer play and he would place his bed outside as soon as the sun went down, before any mobs spawned. I kept wondering why he was tempting fate like that, which prompted me to look it up and find out it was changed in 2011.

I wonder what other outdated habits I’m still holding on to…

Liftoff is pretty great as well.

Treasure Planet was such a great movie

Garfield is inevitable.

No one has ever accused Jimmy Space of being a good dad.

Is Lemmy making pasta now?

This is obviously fake. Real ancient Greek graffiti would have more dicks.
