This is a pretty fun rabbit hole to dive down. The para-biblical book Jubilees retells a lot of the Hebrew Bible stories with added details including naming the patriarchs’ wives. A more interesting reading is that because they are omitted in the Genesis account, quite possibly a lot more people were also not mentioned. This led to the “pre-Adamite” doctrine, that Adam and Eve were not the first humans. Of course there’s also the Talmudic account of Lilith which has gained a lot of popularity recently.

I worked a 6-2 shift once. Quite liked it as I am a morning person. Had to go to bed around 9:00 though.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

Given how ruthless the FCC is, the best we can hope for at this point is a deathbed confession.

I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.

@lom I asked this question a few days ago in @kbinmeta . I think it’s to do with how upvotes (don’t) federate or how many comments are posted/ federate to an instance’s copy of a post.

@Aityz

The main subs I follow are more or less back to normal or never protested to begin with. Two tiny subs I mod have been getting hammered with Temu spam and because the built-in moderation tools don’t seem to help I set them to restricted.

The big difference is on /all. Some popular subs have been largely replaced like r/AITA -> r/AITAH & r/TwoHotTakes. But a lot of the usual content is completely missing and in their place are the food delivery and selfie subs.

Why is the thumbnail pic a furry?
