check any lemmy instance allowlist, that must be a piefed thing

These things will take you on an adventure you’ll never remember

There are so many dead instances. Some of them are federated widely, then got abandoned, domain expired and got taken by something like online casino. That would be useful entrypoint for evildoers, maybe allowlists should be linted from time to time

Time to go again, surely this time they will stop following.

Where did they come from?

humans sweat but antelopes don’t. this is part of what makes humans (and also wolves and some other social canids, and hyenas that pant instead) hilariously good at long distance running and so can just run or jog following a herd until antelopes collapse from heat exhaustion. this is called persistence hunting. this is also why we have domesticated wolves, probably

i’m pretty sure that there’s a tribe or a couple of them that practice that form of hunting even today

that’s how the story goes, anyway, whether it was actually a thing or a side product or misinterpretation is something else entirely
