I kid of course, I could use a hobby that incorporates some kind of motion.
But for real $1k is part of a good used lens, a fifth of the camera I really want, or a couple of decent hard drives to add to the collection. I remember I once lost my shit over $10, now I can’t even get it up for $1000.

The Berenstain Bears mandela effect definitely predates Harambe. And though I certainly believe I remember the cornucopia, I’m willing to admit there could be a valid explanation for that. But The Berenstain Bears… That one keeps me up at night.
I know it is actually Bearenstain and if it was ever any different then there would be evidence, and that mandela effects are just a version of urban legends that play on peoples susceptibility to implanted memory, but I know it was Bearenstein.
I was an extremely pedantic and detail oriented child who loved to read and only had so many books. I still vividly recall many nights spent secretly awake studying the covers of those books, tracing the letters and reading and rereading the stories, thinking the bears must be Jewish like me even though they act very Christian. I had a few tapes as well and if they had a different title I was exactly the child who would notice and be upset about it. And speaking of I also remember the day my world was rocked by this revelation. Prior to it becoming a meme, back before the name ‘mandela affect’ was coined I came across one of the books and immediately caught the spelling. I dug up as many items as I could find and they all had the same spelling. I never felt so betrayed by my reality. I turned to the Internet for support but there wasn’t much discourse on it at the time, at least not that I could find. Now I’m being told I’m misremembering, but there is not a doubt in my mind they were The Berenstein Bears.
Most purported mandela effects are clearly just people misremembering, but I will die on Berenstein hill.

I have picked up Walden multiple times. I cannot for the life of me get through it. Thoreau is thorough in his writing, if nothing else.

alekwithak@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I the only one who thinks social media has destroyed the spirit of the internet?13·3 days ago“A cultural phenomenon during a period beginning around late 1993 and early 1994, when Internet service providers began offering Usenet access to many new users.”
"The flood of new and generally inexperienced Internet users directed to Usenet by commercial ISPs in 1993 and subsequent years swamped the existing culture of those forums and their ability to self-moderate and enforce existing norms. AOL began their Usenet gateway service in March 1994, leading to a constant stream of new users.
Hence, from the early Usenet community point of view, the influx of new users that began in September 1993 appeared to be endless."

Would repealing the current net neutrality rules make enshittification even worse? Definitely. It would hand ISPs even more control over what we see, how fast we see it, and who gets prioritized, all based on, at best, who pays them more. You think the internet is shitty now?
It’s a false dichotomy anyway, framing anyone concerned with net neutrality as a panic-driven alarmist, and anyone opposed to net neutrality rules as calm, rational, and intelligent. It’s rhetoric designed to discredit one side without addressing its actual arguments.
I’ve never done it, but a lot of wildlife photography is focus stacked, especially when more than one animal is in focus in the photo.
