The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

When I was like 8, a liftee at my local ski hill told me that as I dangled from the chairlift about 5 feet off the ground because I waffled getting on the lift.
Two days ago I was cycling along a rural road; slightly before an intersection (a road to the left, like this: -|) a guy behind me started to pass me on the left lane and a woman on the intersecting road tried turning right....
Most drivers like to think they are the best driver on the road because it’s the one task they’ve done the most in their lifetime. The reality is that they’re all still terrible at it and they’re still allowed to continue doing it.
In our backyard, we don’t have to worry about it because our backyard is fenced, and the dogs keep a tight perimeter. However, out front I’ve recently been spooking cats hiding in the bushes beneath our bird feeders....
The lowest feeder is about 6’, and the highest is about 8’. I might be mistaken, but I don’t see these overfed felines jumping that high. I’m pretty sure they’re lazy hunters and wait for the birds to come down to their level.

How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.
Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
Leaving pointless answers/reviews on websites
I’m not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don’t know or they give an unrelated answer....
Does anyone use Bing for their search engine?
I feel like it’s dying and the people I know say they use Google or duck duck go.
What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex

What is the best way to harass free roaming cats that stalk our bird feeders?
