Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)

I got one this morning!! Immediately clocked it as a scam lol. I didn’t delete it but it disappeared from my inbox so I guess the account was closed

I feel like of all places to try and scam people lemmy is… Not a good choice? From what I’ve seen (and I haven’t been around too long tbf) the community gravitates towards more tech-savvy and educated people, so unlikely to fall for scams like these. They’d have better luck on Facebook probably, just attach an AI-generated Jesus and they’d make mad cash lmao

I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

My grandmother’s great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?

For something spicier, around the end of Italy’s involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt’s family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt’s family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn’t fit into the bus so they were forced to stay… Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof
