Beef tallow is more natural. That said I haven’t used a salve made of that. It might be seriously stinky - no clue

I have never been so terrified by a book before. 😳

"1984" by George Orwell depicts a potential reality that could unfold if we continue on our current path. I believe it is crucial for every #Pleb to read this book in order to comprehend the gravity of what we are up against.

I will attempt to write a summary once I feel I have proper grasped its meaning. It's not easy!

I really want a session at a layman's level about decentralized social networks with payment built in for the Self Reliance Festival.

The why, the gettings started for success.

So basically a nostr session.

Please email me if you are a good fit for this or can introduce me to someone who is. Helpful if your name draws people to the event.

While enjoying our view after a climb to the peak of a rocky hill/mountain, we saw this military helicopter doing exercises. If you zoom in towards the loafing shed, you'll see the helicopter just left of the shed.

Me too! I wish they would be scannable

Do you dell yours on etsy? I'm gonna put mine in our bnb cabin "store". We sell other little things in there too.

I just figured out how to make those cool QR codes with AI 🫡 It’s happening 🙃

I thought our rabbits would stop reproducing when it got hot, but we just got 2 new litters, and its already in the 90's. We'll see how they do the rest of the summer. Oh, and my husband has made a few rabbit foot keychains from the rabbits he harvested. #grownostr #rabbits #rabbitfoot

😁it's ok as long as I didnt hit it. I always brake for brassicas

Picked up this vegan roadkill while #gardening today.

You pointed out the problem. Leave the tech out of it and just bring them here "for the fun". Or any other reason. I brought some friends over from Shitter by sharing funny nostr content there.

Fair enough, not everyone stayed but at least some of them took a peak and some stayed.

It's like orange pilling someone and you start with.. you know the blockchain protocol works like... and Nakamoto consensus... and proof-of-work and 4-year deflation cycles.

Not the way. Tell them it's just money. the best money out there and no "you're not investing in Bitcoin", you're exchanging one currency for another just like you do when you travel abroad and guess what, you can exchange it back to your currency at any time - works much better!

"Users are leaving, and new users are not joining because we post about Bitcoin." I hate this argument.

Then why are users who are interested in Bitcoin leaving? You posting about Bitcoin is not the problem.

I think we already know the problem, and that problem is very well understood in the traditional social media space.

I think, The biggest problem when users join today is content discovery. It's way more complicated on nostr.

For new users, turning an empty home feed and spammy global feed into a decent, relatable feed without proper search feature is way more difficult. I have seen no new user doing it right in the first few days. Most of the users just give up. I have seen it again and again.

I know you are going to hate me for this, but the best reliable solution we have is to create a topic-based algorithmic feed. We have this feature already on Nostr, but it's not properly implemented.

Even as a regular nostr user I don't know how to discover content and people with specific interest. I think topic based feed will solve majority of problems including user discovery and make nostr much more fun. 🤙

Never liked Friends but did find Seinfeld funny.

Thanks, friend!

And sorry to hear that about you. It sucks.

With most, I can deal with and avoid them or tell them not to do it again later. With the one close friend, I yelled back cuz it was the best level nonsense.

But last night man, I was like what the hell is happening. Someone always seemed nice for 2 years suddenly was so so so rude and mean.

Sure revealed their characters. Nice people with secret anger issues are the worst.

What needs to happen for Nostr to gather more attention from Gen Z?

More initiative from nostr users on other social media platforms to onboard their friends, fanboys, followers, mum, wife, girlfriend and everyone else.

And then we need to keep variety in our content. A few months ago we had so much content on here. Now Bitcoin is usually the topic of the day (inc from myself). There is hundreds of millions of people out there with thousands of different interest. I can see that nostr, at least at a first glance, may not appeal to them.

Thanks, friend! 🫂

The one last night was so mean and uncalled for, I basically started crying.
