Thanks for the recommendation! Do you happen to know where lemmy.zip is hosted? I'm trying to read the instance docs but can't find it.

I'm looking for the same things as you. An instance that isn't part of the big instance fights, mostly leaves it to the user to block instances/communities (except for the illegal ones of course), uses the latest version of lemmy, and defederates from Threads. So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill. I've also been looking at infosec.pub (because my work aligns with it) and lemmy.cafe, but both are defederated with .ml, which I only wish to see because there are a lot of active non-politics communities hosted there.

What happens to the vinegar-soaked bread? I'm guessing mold will have a hard time growing on it because of the acidity.

I have an uncommon timeline. I come from a country where English isn't the primary/national language, but a majority of the population can speak/write it. My parents had the foresight to teach us siblings English first so it would be more natural to us and therefore give us an advantage in our future careers. So I technically learned English first before the local/native language. But because I grew up in my country and only being exposed to American English through movies/tv, my English isn't exactly "native" and you can pick up within a minute of speaking with me that I'm not a native speaker. But I'm always told that I don't have the typical accent people from my home country have when speaking English and mine is more neutral.

That’s Benny just making sure he covers everything the next time the mummy comes back.

Not sure if I remember right, and I’m happy to be corrected, but isn’t the stats for plane crashes/accidents skewed by the smaller prop planes? When I see the typical conversation that flying is safer than driving etc., and then one side points to the numbers for plane accidents, the counter to it is that most of those accidents aren’t the big commercial planes most people fly on, rather the smaller aircraft.

They're not JUST for killing people and/or sport

I’m trying to think of other use-cases. Do you mean something like mass culling of wild hogs? That’s the only thing I can think of that isn’t killing people or sport.
