If you're new to Mastodon: welcome!
Here are a couple guides I've put together:
An Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon, which tries to explain what this place is all about: https://github.com/joyeusenoelle/GuideToMastodon/
So You're A Mastodon Moderator, which has some information on the tools at your disposal and some best practices for using them (it needs an update, but is still generally accurate): https://noelle.codes/so_youre_a_mastodon_moderator.pdf
@horrowfide@mastodon.social @taweret the mos eisley cantina band is played by electric mayhem
Presenting... THE FASTEST GAMING PC IN THE WORLD!
"sam, is that just a raspberry pi taped to a firework?"
...yes
@plsburydoughboy the talk at the moment is what can be called the year 2038 problem
It's a potential issue in how computers store dates and times at a low level, because computers it's possible that when the clock hits 03:14:08 on Tuesday, 19 January 2038 software might misinterpret it as being some time in 1901
Also the reason there weren't any issues in 2000 was the sheer amount of remediation work done, not that it wasn't a problem
@noelle yes!
we're not on an old version! we're mastodon classic!
@mavica apparently there's a bit of a spanish migration in at the moment so it might be something to do with that?
although I think it's "elf" in spanish as well so 
@KitRedgrave isn't that every version of monopoly or is that just how I play it?
@Nine dragons definitely are
@Nine nah, zebras are just stripey horses
@Nine yes, horses are
@noelle *raises eyebrow in computerfairi.es*
If you've been following me for a while, I bet I can make you laugh with one word:
@noelle REST OF FEBRUARIUS AND I AM NOT KIDDING
Genitals, math, question, I'm very drunk and other drunk people are wondering about it
@Siphonay@octodon.social also the people at wolfram alpha are going to be very confused by the logs this evening
Genitals, math, question, I'm very drunk and other drunk people are wondering about it
@Siphonay@octodon.social average human penis length is apparently 15.1 centimetres, let's call the population of penis-havers on earth 3.8 billion, assuming normal distribution we're looking at something in the region of 573,800 km of cock
so 1.5 times the distance to the moon
Apparently Greggs are going to start doing vegan doughnuts and vegan steak bakes
https://vegnews.com/2019/12/greggs-to-launch-vegan-steak-bakes-and-glazed-doughnuts
No idea what a vegan steak bake consists of but I'd be interested in finding out
@wigglytuffitout good shout, silenced them over here

anyway, here's an #instanceblock suggestion: wake.st, since it seems to be a one-person instance of someone who makes flashy gif art and has declared that it's incumbent on all of us to block it individually if we don't want people to have seizures and/or get headaches because ow, my eyes
it's a basic health and safety hazard at this point, so i'd suggest just blocking/defederating so nobody gets a fun surprise bonus seizure/migraine/etc. on the federated timeline
