TIL the largest cemetery in the world is Wadi-us-Salaam in Iraq. It has 6 million bodies, covers 6.01 km2/2.32 sq mi of land and has been in use for at least 1400 years.
  • The middle east was on a good path during the 60s/70s.

    I'm sure a few musicians from that era are buried there and keeping everyone entertained.

  • Musk's election falsehoods travel hundreds of times further on X than fact-checks from officials
  • He really got himself some MAGA caps in all colors, but red

  • Judge blocks sweep of homeless camps before New Orleans Taylor Swift shows
  • “As we prepare for the city to host Taylor Swift and Super Bowl LIX, we are committed to ensuring New Orleans puts its best foot forward when on the world stage,” Landry’s communications director, Kate Kelly, said in a statement issued to local media.

    Advocates argue the effort disrupted the work of local officials to connect unhoused people with social services and help them find more permanent housing solutions.

    New Orleans did put their best foot forward, in that the judge blocked this relocating bullshit. You show your greatness by protecting and taking care of your people and not by relocating them, like trash that's in the way.

  • True, i like that the bait stays in the title and that there's no need to file the link.

    I find it almost interesting to see that those lists come up with.

  • Everything on credit
  • I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

    There's no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

    A tedious task most people didn't bother with.

  • Cryptic Lemmy

    I really don't know the idea behind this community ( sidebar is empty ) - but i would say you can't get more Cryptic Lemmy than this.

    >The existence of truly uncompromising men has never been, and will likely never be, commonplace. This world just is not fit to sustain high levels of conviction in people. With celebrities and Rock stars, it is even more unlikely. Between the fickle push of fans and the heartless pull of media and record label execs, individuals who once knew exactly who they were can, and often do, get lost in the shuffle. Perhaps they find themselves unable to live up to their perceived personas. They get engulfed amid the steamy haze of their own successes, drowning beneath the waves of drink, drugs, sex, and excess, while the incoherent pace of touring slowly eats them up and spits them out. On the 28th of December, 2015, the most shining exception to this rule left our world forever. Ian Fraser, known to the Rock-n-Roll universe as Lemmy Kilmister, was the pulse of the band Motörhead from the day he began it in the Summer of 1975 until the last note he played on December 11th, 2015, on a stage in Berlin.

    As in title - woke up today and sync closes instantly after opening. trying a re-install now.

    Edit: thanks all for your feedback.

    futurism.com Elon Musk Reportedly Offered SpaceX Employees Sperm to Seed Mars Colony

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk volunteered his sperm to seed a Martian colony, the New York Times reports, highlighting his obsession with the plan.

    Elon Musk Reportedly Offered SpaceX Employees Sperm to Seed Mars Colony

    SpaceX employees' work is breaking barriers, while this asshat keeps terrorizing them with his utter gross bullshit

    Edit: after reading through the article again, some passages stuck out, like:

    >Apart from aspiring to become the biological father for his Martian colony, Musk has leveraged many of his own businesses to create a civilization on Mars, including Boring Company tunnels to dig under the planet's surface and a Tesla Cybertruck rugged enough to traverse its mountainous landscapes.

    So, take it all with a grain of salt.

    US astronauts Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt abandoned plans to exit the International Space Station on Monday to conduct maintenance due to a spacesuit malfunction.

    NASA waves off spacewalk after astronaut suit springs a leak | CNN

    >The delayed spacewalk is only the latest in a string of setbacks around operations on the International Space Station in recent weeks.

    >This marks the second spacewalk in recent days that has been abruptly called off due to spacesuit issues.

    >In addition to the aborted Monday spacewalk, the federal agency has been aiming to carry out another on July 2 — before giving Boeing’s Starliner capsule the green light to undock from the orbiting laboratory and make its return home.

    >The Starliner spacecraft has been on its first crewed test flight to the space station. But the vehicle encountered several key issues during the first leg of its trip, including springing helium leaks and experiencing thruster outages, that have delayed its return.

    Documents found on a North Korean server suggest US studios may have unknowingly outsourced animation work

    edition.cnn.com Documents found on a North Korean server suggest US studios may have unknowingly outsourced animation work | CNN Politics

    North Korean illustrators and graphic designers appear to have helped produce work for US animation studios unbeknownst to those companies, suggesting that unreleased episodes of a few popular American cartoons could include work from one of the most closed-off economies in the world.

    Documents found on a North Korean server suggest US studios may have unknowingly outsourced animation work | CNN Politics

    >The files were discovered in December by Nick Roy, a Boston-based cyber-sleuth who regularly scans the North Korean internet as a hobby. Roy found a new North Korean website that outside visitors didn’t need a password to access, unlocking a trove of animation sketches, and shared them with the Stimson Center, a Washington-based think tank.

    >The documents include a series of Chinese instructions that have been translated into Korean. They call for making adjustments to the size and style of the animation. Among the documents, there is also an editing sheet written in English with specifications for animation work with “Invincible” printed atop.

    Deleting a Comment

    I'm pretty confused about one thing.

    When deleting your own comment, there always stays a placeholder in its place. I noticed this with my own and other lemmings posts.

    So far so good, but i tried to reply to a deleted comment by another lemming and above the reply box was the full comment the other user deleted.

    I mean the full content of the comment that was deleted.

    Is this the normal behavior in Lemmy or is it Sync?

    I mean, i want my deleted comments to disappear and not just hidden and for everyone available to read.

    Please try it out and reply to my deleted comment in this post. Just above the reply textarea you'll see my deleted comment.
