The author certainly has a type.

Yes I know that’s what one approach. I was trying to consider the case where they can’t help have their breath be superheated

How to tell me without telling me this was a campist.

It’s a spectrum

Yes but, counterpoint: Boring.

Ye so something funky is going on here. It could be that they’re deliberately reporting nonsense numbers in nodeinfo since iirc they have modified the lemmy code, but I’m not sure.

One thought I had

m@tes

• It uses the word mate which is A) Pirate-coded B) Non-gendered
• It uses 1337speak, which fits with the domain name (dbzer0)
• It uses a circled ‘a’ which, you know…

Good decision by Ada. I’m also quite pleased with how many instance mates stood up in here to defend blahaj’s decision.

PS: It occurs to me we might need a name for our peeps. I.e. like one talks about “lemmings” or “redditors”, we could use something for members of the divisions by zero. Edit

They pointed elsewhere they didn’t understand the purpose of this comm.

Yes, if you were just looking to report the news, the comm blaze pointed out might better. For the popcorn takes !fediverselore@lemmy.ca might be more appropriate.

Dawwww!

I’m trying hard to make it viable to be considered as not an authority :)

NGL, I’m low-key goading the science dweebs among us to find the most efficient/plausible scientific explanation for all this fantasy nonsense. We have to find the dragon diet that would support the version of dragons that routinely exhales superheated air (as opposed to having an extra chamber of chemicals they ignite on demand), while still maintaining other dragon tropes.

88 is not offensive. It’s a nazi dogwhistle. There’s a big difference.

I also assure you that Americans don’t do the Greek “mountza” all the time.

Yes which is why I don’t think eating a lot of “normal” food would cause this. The amount of having to eat to cause this amount of heat would probably be 100x more than required for their body size, which means that they would never stop eating. I think it’s more likely they consume something itself highly combustible like oil. Or maybe they’re doing internal fission :D

OK so awful.systems has 487 registered users and yet 351701 local posts, (meaning not posts federated in, but posts created in the instance itself) Something doesn’t quite add up well here.

@self@awful.systems do you have any idea what might be causing this? Do you have some sort of bot that opens a lot of local posts or some sort of importing mechanism from elsewhere?

I once knew a munchkin who literally had the GM say to them exasperatedly something like “Fine, you win!”. The munchkin naturally replies with “But, you can’t win at D&D”, to which the GM just said “And congrats, you managed it anyway.”, at which point the GM ended the campaign.

Thoughts: If the dragon’s normal breath is fire, is means that their internal temperature is not low enough to cool down candlewicks. This is not much different than how human breath is warmer from the envionment. Form the perspective of, say, a lichen, a human’s breath might as well be fire. Dragons are just run 10x as hot as humans. The question is, what material are they consuming in order to maintain this temperature constantly. Are they consuming coal as food?

Nowaways they block VPNs though

Because corporate media will ban or hide you from saying “suicide”.
