Superbowl

My life is falling apart. The last reliable and consistent thing in my life is the owl picture instance. I don't even like animals.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No pressure or anything there! 😅

I'm glad I serve a wide range of functions with my owl stories, but you can just talk to me about non-owl stuff if you ever need to.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I ain't gonna burden you with that buddy, it's just been a really rough year. Just keep doing what you're doing. Hopefully the owl pictures will get me through to the point I can return to my Aztec studies.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well the offer still stands if you need it. I'm just another person over here on my end, not some content farm. I've really enjoyed your participation in our group and want you to be happy.

I know you're not too far away from where I live or work as well, and while I don't have a huge social network since I'm more introverted in real life, if you're looking for work or some type of community resource or something, I can look around.

Regardless, I am wishing you all the best! You have always been really nice talking with me.

♥️🦉

I hope today goes OK for you pal. Sorry to hear things are shit.

[–] piwakawakas@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Came here to mention this. Owl of the year is the best thing on Lemmy!

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I try to make it a fun time for all!

[–] piwakawakas@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

You do a great job <3

You do a great job of it.

This was great, thanks!

[–] bitofarambler@crazypeople.online 16 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty proud of how Travel developed this year; i just relaunched it last week to fix the name.

It's all accurate travel information and fun travel shares.

This is the old com with more content to see if you're interested in the OC to come.

For those who are viewing a community and it looks empty, that means you're the first person from your instance to have ever visited that community.

If you decide to subscribe to it, you and everyone else from your instance will start seeing new posts that gets posted after you subscribed.

Yes, there is an owl picture to fit any style or decor.

If God made owls, I would consider that an endorsement of owls.

We just voted the Buffy Fish Owl as our Owl of the Year, so that could be a good place to start looking.

It means you have a house located near owl food and owl shelter.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you for the specific replies. I know you're a caretaker of owls.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Indeed!

I finished getting my preventative rabies shots in November, so hopefully even more animals next year. I need to get my antibody levels checked to make sure it took yet, and then I can take care of bats, foxes, groundhogs, skunks, and raccoons as well.

Basically a Calvin and hobbes shitpost comm

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't explain it too well, but !historyartifacts@piefed.social is the kind of a comm I use for treating depression. I can just sit down and browse it and go "Ooo, interesting and neat stuff".

I didn't see any post there? Is it just on my end ?

Try viewing it locally. It does appear empty from your instance.

[–] Luxyr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago

This has happened to me when on a small instance from which no one has viewed a community before. Once the insurance has loaded the community at least once, stuff should appear.
