What should be in the Surgeon General's warning label for @jerry 's instance?

Caution: May contain excessive quantities of llamas.

Warning: Exposure to orchid pictures may exceed safe daily exposure limits established by the FDA.

Danger: Purchase of domain names is habit-forming and may result in personal bankruptcy.

Notice: Exposure to posts from Threads[.]net is known to the state of California to cause unrelenting interpersonal conflict.

This story is why is sorta fractured for me. I can’t follow taweret and see the official toots. I can’t vote in the official polls because octodon blocked infosec exchange in this frenzy. It’s why I often copy/paste the monsterdon alert for folks who might be here or on similar servers and be blocked.

I wonder if there is ever any way to get someone to reconsider. Probably not.

    Hey ! I made you a design

    If you go to my shop https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/ you'll see 3 options: color, black, or white. I hope you like them! ✨

    The design in white, on a purple unisex tee
    The design in black, on a mint ladies' tank
    The design in color, on a white canvas totebag

    A design all in thin black lines, like doodles you might make on a notepad with a ballpoint pen, of many monsters and villains and objects from the Monsterdon movies. These have been colored in a "vaporwave" palette, bright pastel colors, like soft neon. Some creatures are the colors in the movie, some are made up because the movie was black and white. There are specific creatures from one movie, like the Tingler, ones from movie series, like Godzilla (who is next to Mothra with hearts between them, as the king and queen of Monsterdon), and some little things that pop up in the movies a lot, like coffins and brains and UFOs All the doodles are in a square with Monsterdon written across the top in rainbow letters, and all the little spaces between drawings are filled with action lines, stars, skulls, eyeballs, etc

    Huh! That was fun! Lots of things I didn't see coming this time!
    Like:

    1. Baddies understand the importance of PPE; good guys, less so
    2. Sure, there was lots of sexism, but also, lots of "Penny, you just have to be understanding of Daddy's relationship w/ his 'partner', and not ask so many questions"
    3. Don't recall any coffee in this one, but wow, was there some tobacco!

    Thanks everyone for joining in! Thanks @Taweret for hosting! See y'all next week!

    Graphic designer Saul Bass directed exactly one film, an extremely trippy adaptation of HG Wells' "Empire of the Ants" called PHASE IV.

    As far as I can tell the ants do not become large, so the film may not qualify for , but it does sound real fucked up. It's on Criterion til June 30, dunno about other sites.

    Square cube law? Square shumb law!

    Arthropods can get humongous. The main reason they don't is they are far too tempting targets for warm-blooded vertebrates.

    But about that? Why couldn't an arthropod also be warm-blooded? Maybe some were.

    And that thing you heard about "giant insects needed higher O2 levels" also questionable. Arthroplura was still around after the levels crashed... something else ended the golden age.

    @futurebird I think some of the movies featured on give us a good idea of the full potential of bugs if we were to really try

    @jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

    godzilla usually like meditates on the bottom of the ocean right, so it's primarily an aquatic reptile, but it seems to come to the surface to reproduce by fucking the red lake in some way, truly a marvel of evolution #monsterdon
