I think the joke is how a pest exterminator is being called on an extinct species. Play on the mutual concept of extinction.

It’s already like that here, friend.

Lemmy didn't take off until well into May 2023, despite being online and open source for over 4 years. The quantity of posts, communities, comments was very small for 4 years online.

Then everyone flocked out of hate and anger of an API money matter with Reddit.Then crowds got hate-filled and angry when Threads was launched by Meta/Instagram/Facebook on July 5. And crowds became hate-filled and angry over Elon Musk rename of Twitter to X on July 23.

Outside big growth in memes and shitposts, there haven't been big numbers of people flocking here out of organic goodness on organized topics. It has largely been a HiveMind of hate as a motivation to come here since May.

Some good seeds have been planted since May, but the atmosphere of hate motivates change is pretty much Mob Mentality / reactionary.

When cross-posted >= 2, should go to a dedicated page like Reddit has had for a very long time... and allow easy viewing of who posted, date, number of comments, date of last comment, votes, etc.

And the equal portions, starting gun, and ready to dive in pose implies that they are having a speed contest, a classic kind of American thing like 1972 onward hot dog eating contest, a race of 10 minutes (they have adjusted the minutes allowed, but time is the key to the race).

my first impression is it's a play on unity, that they are already going, but he is saying start whenever he wants to? Still, I can't really tell if they are in motion already... and he is at the front. So I'm confused.

EDIT: 5 months ago on Reddit, someone gave a better answer when I went looking on Google Search: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFarSide/comments/124clhy/can_anyone_explain_this_gary_larson_cartoon/

As a media environment, the context here is to view media as environments and even the shift they make over time.

I added a link to Jung's concept of "persona" to the sidebar of this community: For Jung, "the danger is that [people] become identical with their personas—the professor with his textbook, the tenor with his voice." The result could be "the shallow, brittle, conformist kind of personality which is 'all persona', with its excessive concern for 'what people think'"—an unreflecting state of mind "in which people are utterly unconscious of any distinction between themselves and the world in which they live. They have little or no concept of themselves as beings distinct from what society expects of them."

There are many detailed replies in this Beehaw.org posting related to media environments.

/c/mental_influenced community: “Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.” - Marshall McLuhan

As a media environment, this Beehaw discussion is treating the entire world, the whole #PaleBlueDot as a media environment. How much of the world's news can you consume? Some of the replies talk about their spouse being a filter for even world news information.

Lemmy.world down now for over 30 minutes, Lemmy.ml over an hour (I created this post on Lemmy.world before it went down). Distant Early Warning Sign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrDj5XvZXX4

Major performance problems have been fixed in Lemmy in the past 48 hours, with more pending in the next 24. The latest code on GitHub is far better than 0.17.4/0.18.0 in terms of hammering the server.

I also find that when people post journalist news sites, they are using archive proxies to bypass paywalls, and you can't tell which news site the actual story is from.

The context of this being a "link posting" is not very clear. I encourage discussion and changes to the lemmy-ui webapp so that it more clearly presents that this is an "offsite link" posting(?)

Based on my weeks of code (and operating instance) study on lemmy_server, I strongly suspect that peer servers upgrading to 0.18 is causing a swarm of federation activity that lemmy.ml is getting as peers go down and back up.
