Stuffing ads on streaming services? How could Amazon do such a thing?

Anyway, for your consideration, Barbie (at last!), now available on streaming services everywhere.

I have you tagged as 'probably actually her' just because I want it to be true.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And as I've said here before: I just play her on TV.

Which is a fantastic answer, but this is Lemmy, not TV, and Margot Robbie's name is Margot Robbie.

I'm not trying to call you out, nor draw you out though. I'm not into parasocial relationships, but I do love the idea of Lemmy's first celebrity user being the actor that literally played Barbie. It's just a delightful thought.

But being the first novelty account: also fine.

These are all important milestones for Lemmy.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

... Cool.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I completely forgot about tags. My first Lemmy tag is now 'probably actually her.'

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Hopefully not on me, because I can assure you that I am a 4 year old Polish Lowland Sheepdog, and not acclaimed actor Margot Robbie. Please tag responsibly.

I didn't. I tried to use Sync but they paywalled tags. Thank Boost for existing.

Duuuuude! I didn't know boost existed for Lemmy! Thanks you!
Boost, here I come!
