3D prints are great for those one off things. In the past I’ve printed replacement parts for a swimming pool, a g-clamp I needed for a one off task, I’ve fixed a rotary clothes line…

My most recent print was an AirTag holder for my wallet. Aviator who make the wallet wanted €35 for their one. Mine cost me probably 5p in plastic 😂

Ah, when a 9600 baud modem was fast….

Sure. :)

Here’s a link to some info about the broken arms story: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reddit-broken-arms-story

Going forward any posts which vaguely related to incest or broken arms would invariably have comments referring to the original story.

As for the coconuts, there was a TIFU post about a guy who made a hole in a coconut and used ti to pleasure himself repeatedly. iirc he’d use it and then store it in his bedroom and one day he put his dick in it and it came out covered in maggots.

This link is dark but in case it comes back up: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/6rr6ay/tifu_by_cumming_into_a_coconut/?st=JL9NG1AP&sh=cfe1e15a

There was then just a long running joke when people mentioned coconuts…

You know it’s funny, I thought I would be sad to see Reddit go but I’ve been lurking here on Lemmy for a day or two and I’ve realised that Reddit actually was a pretty toxic environment a lot of the time.

I will miss some of the long running in-jokes (broken arms, coconuts etc.) but overall maybe moving on from Reddit is a good thing.

I hope Reddit doesn’t die entirely though. It does have some uses, particularly if you need help on a. particular topic. The specialist subreddits have a large amount of knowledge available through their subscribers and I’ve often turned to them for help on a tech issue when I have something I can’t answer with a quick Google search (for example, a weird issue with Sonarr which wasn’t covered by the *arr wiki) and it would be great if this doesn’t go away.

What I am sad about is seeing the demise of some great 3PA (I was an Apollo user). The amount of work put in by the devs is huge, and this is their livelihood being destroyed. So for folks like Christian I do feel bad.

I’m interested to see how Reddit comes out of the other side of the blackout. Wait and see I guess.

Londoner here. That’s a roll that is. Unless you’re putting a burger in it, then it’s a bun.
