The three -verse terms I've heard in use are:

  • Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
  • Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
  • Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)

I never actually got a chance to watch the full stream yet, I just saw them from the same clips you linked. Did they say anything about the origins of the shorts on stream?

Again without any context of the rest of the stream, just being read in the characters voices doesn't say much to me. In-character table reads aren't that uncommon at events like this, and those could even be totally original content that's just for fun and never even meant to be considered canon (I'm not suggesting that's the case for these, just not unexpected in general)

It's like La Chancla, but even worse to be on the receiving end of!

I mean, assuming no one in the BI acknowledges the jurisdiction of the US Copyright Office, then legally yeah that is actually true

Oh, I didn't realize these were supposed to be part of a cut episode, I thought they were original extras that were made for the Be Gay Do Witchcraft stream. Disappointed that we lost the opportunity to get show-cannon AroAce Lilith though. Damn you ~~pancakes~~ mouse house!

Cat and Amelia ditched me for their dates. Amity became buddies with that human. Now you are getting on my nerves? What's going on here?

Careful Boscha, you're almost getting into self-aware wolves territory there!

Oooh, right! Reading through the replies to that post, that's not just any woman, that's Flora D'splora (fandom warning, sorry), Lilith's mentor from the Emperor's Coven. Looks like she was meant to have a bigger role in all this

I don't remember that one ottomh either. If it was visible, it was probably further in the background

I love Jay's grin at the end (for context)

[–] WeirdAlex03 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, maybe. Just calling it "Tom Scott" felt weird since that's just the name of a person, and "All Things" was the first decent solution that came to mind (that's also why the icon is his red square and not his face like the channel icon, I don't want to give off the impression that this is Tom, it's just about Tom('s work))

The community is pretty broad, though. It's just broad around the YouTube channel called "Tom Scott," not the person of the same name

"A pig without 3.14 is 9.8"

3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)

"pig" without "pi" is "g" (not math, just letters)

g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²

Yeah, it's nice, but I'm not sure the consumer market is the right target for this. Like Tom said, you can already get 0-80 in about half an hour, and the time between charges lines up pretty well with the time until you'd already want to stop and take a break to eat or w/e. A quick battery swap is nice to have, but I don't think it'll ever see enough demand to break even

I think it would be better to target vehicles that are always on the move, like buses. Where one driver clocks off, the battery pack is swapped, and then the next driver clocks on. That scale would also benefit more from off-peak and low-impact slow charging instead of constantly topping up with fast charging.
