Note that Lifespan is not the same as life expectancy

In this article it is, though. That's why they use the phrase "average lifespan". There is no "average" in maximum.
In the article the phrase "average lifespan" is used in the meaning "average life expectancy".

It's because the 38 years as average lifespan is skewed by high child mortality. People lived about 70 or 80 years – provided they first made it alive through childhood.

But genetically we come from nomadic tribes, and AFAIK the nomads of a 100000 years ago, had a far shorter average lifespan than after we settled and began farming.

This is mainly because of child mortality. When you get five children, of which two live to be 78 and 89 and the other three die at ages of 2, 14, and 8, your children's average lifespan is 38,2 years. Typically, you either died very young, or you lived old. And the average is, well, the average of those. Basically nobody died around the age of 38.

All that frankly...
No, I don't see issue with most of those mod actions.

Some specific ones seem a bit unnecessary, but I can understand that once they have read a bunch of your conspiracy theories, they get a very negative image of you, and that colours the rest of their decisionmaking.

Some "fancy" ones do taste different, but the basic ones do share a clearly distinguishable common taste.

Yes, and the taste of what's in most energy drinks is what's being sought for here.

BBC News says it was said using a megaphone when talking to a large crowd:

Petro shared a video on social media of him addressing a large crowd through a megaphone in Spanish on Friday.

He called for the formation of a "world salvation army, whose first task is to liberate Palestine".

"That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States Army not to point their rifles at humanity," he said. "Disobey Trump's order! Obey the order of humanity!"

You forgot to read the end of my comment.

We are almost completely in agreement.

(Of course Trump's rhyme and reason are irrelevant here. The president of Colombia is not known as a moron and there is a demand for him to act like a diplomat even when visiting a moron. But, Trump, Mussolini and similar make an exception: the charter of Human Rights is the most important piece of rules there is, and it basically requires everybody to behave that way. Therefore: unusual but acceptable.)

I'm a big fan of Shattered Pixel Dungeon!

It's the second most controlled country in the world, right after North Korea.

A mad place!

Also, almost all places on trains are reserved for party members, meaning that to get to another city you neither need to bribe somebody or book your ticket a month in advance.

Cannot speak for all if us Finns, but at least for me the first association was: "Rammstein", and when I continued pondering which song specifically, my brain popped an answer as if it was a self clarity: "Du hast".

"Disobey Trump's orders" is what he said. Disobey horrible orders whether legal or illegal.

A ballsy thing for a president to go to a demonstration in another country and tell its military to disobey their own president. If the president of Portugal did the same in Denmark, I would absolutely expect him to be expelled from the Danish territory.

Personally, if any country's president was to do the same in Finland, I would see that as an actual act of war by his country.

This all having been said: whatever is done against Trump is done for USA. The president of Colombia did an awesome thing and I'm happy he did it!

So, PieFed's way of retrieving a post that you're viewing on a "wrong" instance is quite slow for the user. You press the icon with the magnifying glass, scroll to the bottom of the page, read texts on both of the buttons, choose the correct one (Retrieve post), then wait for the page to load – which is suprisingly slow, then paste the URL in the field and press enter, and then wait for the next page to load and still have to press a link.

What I'm envisioning is that if I'm viewing a page such as https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389 , I could just write "Piefed" in front of the URL, making my browser load the "Retrieve remote post" page with the relevant field prefilled with the URL after that word. So, if the URL says "Piefed https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389", I then get to the page with a link to https://piefed.ee/post/85356 , enabling me to click that link and get to comment on the post.

This would streamline browsing threadiverse a LOT, because it keeps happening that I find links that throw me to "wrong" instances. Sometimes they are in threadiverse comments, sometimes* they are out there in the big internet. It's an annoying chore having to click a button and wait and click a button and wait and then click a link and wait again. Anything that streamlines this experience would be very welcome!

So, is there a way to make this happen on Firefox? (Also, could we please get the field for writing the URL to fetch right on the Piefed UI? Such as, click "Communities ▾", then throw the link into a field on the bottom of the thing that opens that way (and maybe get to the requested page immediately without having to click an extra link first?)

*) Still very rarely, but it has already happened!

I began hitchhiking when I was around 16- or 17-year-old. I was at a summer camp's reunion at someone's place in Nummela, and wanted to try how hitchhiking works.

It was a 24 km ride home, along a straight highway. I got the ride near the Citymarket in Nummela and left near Ikea in Espoo. A beginning that eventually led into me identifying as a hitchhiker :)

So, I made a post in a Lemmy group that I was using before moving to Piefed. I made it using my piefed account on piefed.ee.

It's now properly visible through lemmy.ee, but not visible on the actual instance where the group is located, nor on piefed.social. The image shows all three: piefed.ee first, then Sopuli, then piefed.social. As you can see, the topmost post is missing in the lower two screenshots.

I've tried refreshing Sopuli's view of the community and I've tried leaving the community and joining it. But, nothing.

It could be it has an effect that the "type" of post I chose on Piefed was "Link", because I wanted the post to include a link as is very common on Lemmy posts. But, that would be very weird, because it's indeed a type of post very common on Lemmy, so why would that be a problem when posted into a community on a Lemmy instance from within a Piefed instance?
