I have a playlist set up to listen to full albums at random. Today was

• Motorpsycho: Timothy’s Monster
• Samsara Blues Experiment: Waiting for the Flood
• Math the Band: Don’t Worry
• Cymande: Cymande
• Minsk: With Echoes in the Movement of Stone
• Common: Be

Anything goes, I just hate having to stop the tunes when I have to jump on a call

Lots of thermal paste makes the skin extra crispy, and is a great source of heavy metal toxicity you won’t find in other cooking methods!

I use an old cpu cooler to effectively increase the surface area without cutting, works a treat

Horse manure tends to be free around these parts

Bringing out the Dead, because I feel his tortured quest for sleep

Also consider the Yes Ladder - in sales, getting someone to say yes to something small makes them more likely to agree to other things.

It also applies to other contexts. If a police suspect refuses to talk, they ask innocuous questions because once someone starts talking, it’s hard to stop.

Admitting incorrectness will make you more likely to concede other points too

Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.

If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.

I’d say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they’re connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.

I’d like a graphic that shows how centralised media blocks connections to others outside thier walled garden.

If new users were asked to pick 3 or more topics from the top 10, then the most relevant instance could be assigned

The way my dog licks his balls you’d think they taste really good, but they didn’t taste great to me

Maybe some legal framework that would force any derivative work made from the content to be free & open source?
