in youshouldknow@lemmy.world•YSK: Hitting submit more than once will post your comment/thread multiple times, even with the lag

Yep, it’s called an idempotent key. The server gets a request with a specific key (usually a random guid), stores it and ignores any further requests with the same key. It would be a great addition to Lemmy.

Urgh. Disgusting how terribly humans treat other humans.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it’s not possible for everyone to use a bike 100% of the time. Infrastructure does help, and I admit my UK city is certainly not very bike friendly, but even if it was it would be nearly impossible as everything is just too far away and/or you can’t transport what you need to on just a bike. We still need cars of some propulsion method or another.
