Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I'm not certain.
I know it's bad to put your own picture in your profile, but I had to show you all how majestically I soar.
Keep soaring buddy. 💜
I would think that O'Hare and Indianapolis International would have issues with you violating their airspace.
I have always wondered how do you do it: How do you fly?
I squirt my way out of the water using my body like a jet and then soar on my fins!

So, what's chasing you?
Other squid.

Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
Look, I'm all for the squid to control the means of propulsion, but it's hard convincing others...
I'm introducing the theory of an "r-factor" that measures how capitalistic a country is.
r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.
r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.
in-between them, there's a linear interpolation.
(i invented that "r-factor" as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)
i'm for r = 0.5 btw.
I guess that's a consequence of telling the same anecdotes on lemmy and to everyone I see.
