What do you call a leader of small birds who likes giving gratuities?
  • I think it's Tippy as in gratuity, and hedren as in head wren, a small bird who is the head, or leader.

    That makes Tippi Hedren, an actress. She was in a movie called the birds.

    Consider the dead horse beaten lol.

    In 2025, Carlo Acutis will officially become the first millennial saint. But will he help the Catholic Church reach a younger audience?

    How a 15-Year-Old Gamer Became the Patron Saint of the Internet

    “It’s a beautiful thing that for the first time in history you can see a saint dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a sweatshirt. That’s a great message,” Father Carlos Acácio Gonçalves Ferreira, the shrine’s rector, said at the time. A Franciscan monk based at the tomb, noted that “many young people” were visiting.

    What's wrong with the stock lemmy-ui, aside from it being not actively worked on right now?
    1. It's buggy. Submitting a post sometimes takes half a second, and sometimes it takes 30 seconds. Logs show a plethora of errors. The Docker container will eventually crash and restart. It's all part of the Lemmy instance admin experience.

    2. No options to collapse/customize side panels.

    3. UI doesn't refresh after saving settings.

    4. Settings aren't sticky from page to page on occasion.

    If I could code I'd pitch in and help. Heck, I'd learn, but the documentation is pretty sparse.

  • You're correct, I skipped over the Mighty Mouse. Those scroll balls were the original fidget toy.

  • I fixed the Apple Magic Mouse 2!
  • Yes, that replaced the low-riding, AA-powered Magic Mouse that had the delightful battery door that ripped off chunks of fingernail when attempting to open. THAT mouse replaced the stupid, short-corded, anti-ergonomic hockey puck mouse, which in turn replaced the single-buttoned Apple Bus Mouse 2, which arguably is the last best mouse Apple made.

    Two Men, One Cup: Man uses controversial “poop in cup” method to win Nissan Sentra at Oklahoma State Fair

    It looks like we forgot to include something on our list of 7 New Ways To Die at The Oklahoma State Fair!

    NSFL warning

    > > This year, in a bizarre effort to make the Oklahoma State Fair smell even worse than it already does, Dent Source sponsored and organized a competition called the Stinkin’ Sentra Giveaway. > > > > Similar to the B.O. GEO competition of years past, the premise is simple: four people are sent to live inside one Nissan Sentra in an outdoor fair exhibit. The contestants are only allowed to leave the car once every three hours for a 15-minute bathroom break, and anything they bring into the car—like discarded food, trash, or a carnie scalp—has to stay in the car. The last person to leave wins the car. > > > > According to local media reports, the competition concluded this past weekend. The winner was Brian Richmond, who outlasted the other three contestants and, according to witnesses, looks like he smells like a Walmart: > > > > ... > > > > Brian’s victory in the Stinkin’ Sentra competition didn’t come without some smelly and disgusting controversy. > > > >Meet Chris Deschner. He’s the guy who finished second in the competition, leaving the car after 80 hours of being trapped inside. > > > > In a Facebook video, Chris claims he exited the vehicle only after Brian went full Mr. Hankey and brought a cup of human excrement from the port-a-potty into the car following a bathroom break! > > > >Yep, you read that right. The winner brought a cup of human excrement from the port-a-potty into the car following a bathroom break. If you need to take a quick break to throw up in your mouth, feel free. > > > >Chris protested Brian’s septic stunt to contest organizers, but after holding a quick tribunal—hopefully while wearing hazmat suits—the Dent Source team determined that bringing human excrement into the Sentra was a violation of competition rules, but not enough to disqualify Brian. > > > >They removed the cup from the car and told Chris and Brian to resume play. > > > >Unfortunately, Chris couldn’t mentally recover from this clear violation of the laws of man. Claiming he had “more self-respect than that,” he dropped out of the competition like a loose turd, handing Brian the victory and a new, shitty car. > > > > ... > > > > If you ask me, Chris probably realized he had no chance of winning once he witnessed the sewage-level depths his opponent was willing to go for victory, so he quit under protest to try to sneak a win and save face. > > > >Honestly, I don’t blame Chris for this move. In fact, I consider him the winner! Not only does he still have his dignity, but even better—he won’t have to drive a Nissan Sentra.

  • I agree, the headline is unclear. It should be "gets her bag stolen" or as you suggested, "had her bag stolen".

    Better yet, the main object of this sentence, her bag, should be at the front of the headline. "Bag stolen from Britain's Crime Minister" is funnier (in my opinion), more concise, and eliminates the "where", which can be put in a byline/sub-headline, or just left in the article as a gem for the reader to find.
