minus-squareOlhonestjim@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoIf you spent your days cooking with fire, and your nights watching it and warming yourself, you’d definitely start tossing anything you could find into it just to see what would happen. People did this every day and night for eons.

minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoHi! You included a link which is really difficult for mobile users to tap. Here is a much longer and more tappable link. I am not a bot, and this action was performed manually. I recall that there was a bot for this on Reddit. Does an equivalent exist on Lemmy yet?
