Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Under the still river of stars,
A boy with his member in his palm,
In his dreams there are no bras,
Shooting forth his army for her charm.

Shooting forth his army for her charm.

Well, that boy must be in the navy because those army are mainly sea-men.

Almost committed a crime. I finished my lunch, got up and walked away. Only halfway through did i realise my oversight.

Ran as fast as I can back to the stall and apologised to the kakak. She said that there's no need to trouble myself, I can always transfer money to her. Perks of a loyal customer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone already built a python API for lemmy!

I think the Lemmy community will be expanding really fast, really soon. I work with .NET C#, but I used to work with python in uni(altho I was the frontend guy) so combined with the knowledge j can get from the other Lemmy bot repository that someone else shared, maybe I can eventually make a bot for our community 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nice! Can't wait to have a community bot soonヾ(^-^)ノ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Open offer: If anyone writes a script that uses this API to do something useful for monyet.cc, and you can pack it up as a cronjob + python file, we'd be happy to host it for you!

Please get it working and stable on your own machine before handing it to us though. Since this is untrusted python code we have to review your script manually, and I don't want to be doing a million little code reviews...

Do you remember the story "Robinson Crusoe"? I don't see it nowadays but I remember reading condensed children's versions when I was a kid.

It's about a guy named Robinson who became stranded on a deserted island, and he has to survive off the land with what little he salvaged from the ship's wreck before it got smashed by the waves.

Later Robinson finds that there are occasional cannibal tribesmen on the island, and they sometimes butcher up their prisoners during their feasts. He manages to free one prisoner, who then becomes his loyal servant and assistant. He teaches the ex-prisoner English, and the guy also converts to Christianity. (this book was written in a different era, when Europeans were all about civilizing other peoples with their superior culture and religion). As Robinson first had met this prisoner on a Friday, thus he was named Friday.


Both men were strong and muscular from the work of making a living off the land. Life was difficult as they had few tools for farming and fishing, and the island was not particularly bountiful in resources. While the story does not mention Friday's emotional condition, Robinson became a devout Christian as he was thankful to God for his survival and having everything he needs.

However, one missing element was glaring- intimate human companionship. In that era, it was pretty much taboo to be pleasured on equal footing with a less "civilised" person, so even if Robinson was so inclined to men, his cultural background would prevent him from seeing Friday as a peer worthy of rodding him.

Nontheless, things happen in the quiet nights under the watchful stars. An accidental touch, a prolonged contact. Robinson and Friday end up in a strange working relationship where they don't actually lust for each other, but they kind of help each other in achieving certain pleasures. For Robinson, Friday was like a human fleshlight whom he uses to recount some of his favorite memories. While Friday's desires and emotional depths are hard to comprehend (he is, after all, an ESL student), Robinson does his best to return the favours.

And thus on most weeks, Friday would come before Thursday.

For the serious folk, the actual story is mostly accurate up to the break line. Then it all goes to hell...

I can't tell whether that's really how the story goes or you're pulling everyone's leg 🙈

I found the dad joke! <3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

do y'all still wear masks when out and about? I like that I don't have to deal with overzealous nose hair every two days with it on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Slowly phasing out right now. I don't wear them as often outdoors if there aren't a lot of people, but I still wear them when it's crowded or indoors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It has really become a habit for me that I sometimes continue to wear masks in the car(I wear masks for long hours at work, so I'm pretty used to it) and my family/friends will question why I'm still wearing a mask 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only when crowded indoor space like mall or something, otherwise i don't wear it anymore as i'm always i place with good ventilation or with no crowd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I still do because large mask can hide my double chin

Mods, how did you guys set the daily jokes in the daily chat threads on Reddit? Did the bot allow you to set it every day, or do you guys run some prepared script?

Who do I ping here ;_;

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I change it manually under "Scheduled Posts" every day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So it's some kind of UI that allows you to edit text? I gotta figure out that part then... I need to find a way to make the Bot accept(read) some kind of command through the UI at least. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So you're the daddy with the dad jokes huh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm starting to like lemmy. Browsing this, lemmy.world and one more site. Pretty cool.
