    Well, there’s one orb I certainly won’t be pondering.

      I’ll ponder it, but only from a safe distance. It’s important to make sure that the orb doesn’t ponder you back.

    I foresee a third wave of redditors coming to Lemmy.

      I only hang on to a few subreddits that don’t have equivalents here. This would be the final nail in the reddit coffin for me.

    I rarely use reddit but I’ll be damned if I gotta scan my eye to use it, LMFAO. What kind of goober would do this
