Ah, the early days of the internet where every click on a link felt like you discovered something new and exciting. I remember making my own 'homepage' (with stats counter, most of the visits were my own), the dial-up modem's noises, browsing open ftp servers to find interesting warez and generally not worrying about viruses.

Was It aliens, coming down from the heavens, filling up at the Pramid of Cheops (it was a powerplant after all) and afterwards help doing chores? Ancient Astronauts Believers say an astounding 'yes'

What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] rayman30@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Subjective. I don't like the UI on Kbin more than the Lemmy one.

Men and women are often cited as having a different way of thinking. It would be nice if we both had the same thought pattern.

I can hang things straight without using measurement tools. I just ‘sense’ it is straight. A nice power to have.

TIL about the shortest war in history (lemmy.world)

TIL that the shortest war in history took place between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, lasting only 38 minutes. The conflict arose due to a succession dispute within the Zanzibar Sultanate after the death of the ruling Sultan. As tensions escalated, the British government intervened and issued an ultimatum to the rival claimant, demanding his resignation.

When the ultimatum expired, the British fleet, consisting of warships armed with powerful artillery, swiftly attacked the Sultan's palace. The poorly equipped defenders of the Sultanate, outnumbered and outgunned, stood little chance against the onslaught. Within less than an hour, the Sultan's forces surrendered, and the British installed their preferred candidate as the new Sultan.
