We very nearly lost feddit.uk to the same issue. The admin who set the instance up just went AWOL, I'm guessing he spun it up during the reddit exodus and then just lost interest in the project. Fortunately people managed to contact him and gave two people admin access to take over it.

Lessons learned: don't join an instance with a single admin.

But by that time most of your Sunday is gone, wouldn't it be better going into the day that you still have two full days off?

Fox's Jam'n Cream are far superior.

It was awesome. Especially paired with the msn messenger plus mod.

Near the end of its time and also when WiFi was taking off, I had friends with everyone in a uni house, but their WiFi was quite unreliable, so every hour or so I'd get 6 "person is online" pop up toasts appear simultaneously, stacked up on top of each other.

I think this is another one of those cases where the US does something different to the rest of the world: the majority of people were using msn messenger but the US was using aim.

Same, it was pretty much an instant change too. Which sucked as Facebook chat was very unreliable at the time and obviously not very feature rich.

Yeah, you can really stretch it for some of them although there are others that just flat out don't make sense. Also bear in mind this is a kids game!

On the first go, my son made a cutting action with his fingers and then told me I have to ask if it's an animal, vegetable or mineral, in which he replied mineral. So I was trying to think of a mineral that cuts. I asked if it was in the house in which he replied yes, and the only thing I could think of was salt.

Turns out the answer was scissors! The action was kind of obvious but the fact it was a mineral totally threw me.

Imagine finding out moments before your first parachute jump that your parachute is actually made from cabbage.

RVs are motorhomes that have an engine, gearbox etc. Caravan is something you tow behind another vehicle.

This post itself is mildly infuriating as I can't tell what's wrong in the picture!

It probably originated there but I think it's just spread everywhere now. See loads of teens dressed all in black listening to drill music, some even with their faces covered as if they're off to rob a bank.

A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It's especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there's no other way to pay.
