@andrewt and we do not, under any circumstances talk about pineapples

@andrewt@mathstodon.xyz omg this is gold, may I steal this and make a russian translation of the post for russian audience of mastodon network™?

@andrewt toots and florps and Garfield sound stupid, so I'll call them what I wish

@andrewt The thing with pronouns, political affiliation and linux distribution is just reality though :blobCat_shrug:

@andrewt 🤣🤣🤣

We are 64% sure this description is 1,000,000% accurate

@andrewt That last part reminded me of a line from the British comedy the IT Crowd.
'Oh, by the way, anyone still experiencing stress at the end of the day... will be fired!'

@andrewt
Newbies!
Don't believe the lie that likes are called floups
That was a joke.

Actually they're warbles. Kidding.
Anyway, welcome.

@andrewt lol

@andrewt sure the last bits false

@andrewt

If you are the first person to florp a post, it's recommended (albeit not required) to respond to the post saying "firstflorp!"

@andrewt
🥥 Eye am so so here for all the things you described, Andrew, that Eye went back to the angry bird site, forgot everything Eye knew about the Fediverse, and then came back here again to read and apply your tips.
Rawk on, sir! 🥥

@andrewt Looks like you forgot to mention John Mastodon :-)

@andrewt also don’t forget to say hello to John Mastodon

@andrewt thank you

@andrewt been using fedi for 2 years and i genuinely thought there was some kinda fedi garfield grok some how in some way. brain glitch

@andrewt take my florp

@andrewt @cwebber
Also, people only use the #apple tag when they’re shitting on Apple, not actually contributing something useful to the discussion.

@andrewt

I wish I could florp this twice.

Always use #hashtags in your posts, they add a lovely splash of colour and really make your toots pop.

@andrewt well-actually-guy here: there is an algorithm, e.g. on mastodon.social it's "Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher."

@andrewt Mwa-ha-haw!! 🤣

@andrewt *twitter

@andrewt

And I understand from @theropologist that beige.party robes in size M with cat ears are currently sold out.

@andrewt Rofl-o-saurus.
Rex.

(which is coincidentally the Fediversese for rofl-copter. But only if the copter carries pineapples in its cargo).

@andrewt

Priceless! 😂

@timesandseasons

@andrewt 🤣

@andrewt you forgot the bit about all furries being automatically elevated to superusers.

@andrewt pretty accurate

@andrewt Do not say toots. That's just cringe.

@andrewt
Here my favourite Lynx distribution. :bl51:

Have fun with your Alt Text. It gives you more words! Please be mindful of those who rely on Alt Text.

Cheers!

:mastodon:

@andrewt FNAR!

@andrewt

It must needs be noted that the word "toot" is short for tootus. This is from Ancient Greek and not from Latin, so the plural is tootodes.
In practice, both "toots" and "tootodes" are used, the former most common among the young (<60) and Emacs users.

@andrewt So, what's everyone think? Vim or emacs? I'm more of a nano guy myself
<ducks>

@andrewt The sarcasm is strong in this one.

@andrewt@mathstodon.xyz lol the reactions on *key bring this to a new level

@andrewt@mathstodon.xyz please note that there are different fedi platforms such as Akkoma, Lemmy and Misskey, not just Mastodon.

@andrewt For info of all new users. Ive been here a few years and never once called anything a toot. Post is fine. wth is a florp? Never ever heard that term, sorry. Forget the weird language, its not needed ;)
