But on the other hand, think how much time they save by never once having to shift a chair over to sit in it!?

Did we really need a dark take on Oscar the Grouch?

"No" says the New York Times.

:-)

Thanks! So like @Andrew_[email protected] then... eventually:-).

Fair, but a lot of people have emotional issues that make that difficult, and running can be a fun activity. Bonus: it helps someone learn just exactly how much that "100 calories" is worth - by converting into a measurement system that they already know (time to burn it off), it can help to prioritize eating goals in the future.

Exercise also has many other benefits beyond weight control though, such as heart health, overall musculature, blood chemistry, and more. thin != healthy.

But if we are getting this deep into it, running in particular isn't the best... it's quite hard on the knees I hear. An elliptical machine or something involving the body core like calisthenics would be easier on the body and more effective at the same time. Then again, running sure is fun... :-D

Wait... there are non-bouncing shades!?!?

I tried replying to you a bit lower down in the thread - see where I tried to mention you in my response to [email protected].

It did not work well at all:-(. I see this error when I click on the resulting link (which PieFed seemed to render as https://piefed.social/community/lookup/rimu/piefed.social):

The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

(& [email protected] - we'll see if notifications like this work here as well!:-P)

Yes [email protected] your idea would be better than it is now - the benefit would be to allow someone to reply to comments on that post, with an account based on PieFed rather than needing to create one on a remote instance. Although even Lemmy does not have this capability (afaik?) to retrieve posts from a remote instance, so there is no "expectation" that it be provided.

Just to reiterate: if the retrieval function was to either be enhanced to work fully & properly, or else to go away entirely - or at least be de-emphasized (right now it seems available from almost every page across the entire piefed.social site?) so that common users (like me!:-P) don't just play around with it willy-nilly and generate such partial (mis-)information postings - then either way that would solve the problem.

The problem, imho anyway, is the presence of the partial information, which is so confusing to people. But again: if the retrieval function was simply not present at all, that does not seem all that "bad" to me? (especially since, again afaict, Lemmy lacks it too, at least for non-admins)

And I can't really speak to Rimu's comment about whether it's "cheating" to use the API, except naively to say that doing something all of once upon a special request each time might not be all that bad? Though that's still code to have to write, test, deploy, investigate for potential exploits, etc., and I am not sure how commonly people would really want to make use of it? Although if they did, I could see someone wanting to get e.g. all of the posts for the past several months for a community that nobody has previously subscribed to on a PieFed instance. But that's a lot of effort for seemingly little gain? Purely from an end-user perspective, I would rather see things like adding a Preview option to comment replies and/or making the replies to comments be in-line in the sam epage (especially since after you do something, like perhaps editing a reply, the web UI deposits you to a different page than where you started, and you have to go hunt for the reply you just worked on, possibly having to delve deeper into the comment chain i.e. so that a browser "find" may not work, just to see how your comment ended up being rendered; e.g. I've made comments where the image was not rendered correctly, or just this morning I noticed that my mobile browser had put a space between the [url display text] (https://actualurlhere.com) - so this is a common item that I end up having to deal with multiple times a day and sometimes multiple times per hour; while in contrast, I virtually never need to see an old post and reply to it; so while the presence of the misinformation is confusing and I hope can be dealt with sooner, the expansion of the retrieval function is a significantly lower priority issue - again, just imho, in case it helps to hear from a fresh POV:-D)

There is so much to enjoy about the Fediverse, so many flavors of variety to experience and get to choose from!:-)

Star Trek always had the best hats. Unless you were Michael Dorn and then the costume staff seemed to have a grudge against him or sumthin'.

Edit: bonus

Tbh, no I don't recall it!? :-P All I got is this oldie...

B-b-but sometimes you just get the munchies and gotta have ~~that~~ all the omletes, ya'know!!?!!
