Most hosted AI image generators didn't wanna make this, so I had to use grok, which is shitty.

prompt

Create an image in the style of a still frame from a movie. In the frame the Whitehouse is exploding in a great fireball, with splintered wood flying through the air. An enormous city sized flying saucer is hovering above the Whitehouse, firing a blue beam into the Whitehouse, which is what caused the explosion. The flying saucer is very detailed and covered with greebles. The Whitehouse is exploding into pieces. The scene is at night, lit by the explosion fireball. The perspective is from the Whitehouse front lawn.

Copilot keeps telling me it's not allowed to generate that kind of content 😏

Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I mean, that probably depends on the country, right? Tbf I don't know much about them.

The point simply is that Canada isn't especially left. We can't be, since we're joined at the hip to the USA.

Canada is just America but 2 election cycles behind. We're very similar politically, most of the left leaning appearance is just lip service, not policy. Look at how we continue to treat indigenous peoples.

I don't think that UBI is the predominant reddit viewpoint either - I think that's just the subs you're in.

I'm Canadian too, and I certainly don't consider reddit as left of center on average. It's almost like 4chan lite.

But on that note, if you're looking for Canadian instances, there are a few good ones.
The obvious one is lemmy.ca, but the other (bigger?) one is sh.itjust.works which is bilingual and I think is québécois.
Presumably a Canadian instance would have relatively Canadian political leanings, although as has been said before, instance doesn't really matter.

The instance you're on only matters in so far as which other instances they've defederated.
You can probably find more centerist instances, but it doesn't really matter because your friend is probably just going to be in the same communities anyways.

I'm not really sure I'd call reddit left of center, though.

Fucking Deep insights from someone who can't fully read a reply that's like 10 words long.

Tbf graphics like that are commonly used to be deceitful, because people don't actually check the numbers on the left.

But in this case I think it probably doesn't matter lol

Actually, pedantry is correcting people for things that didn't actually need correcting because everyone understood the meaning from the context, so there isn't any reason for him to thank you because you didn't actually do anything of value.

I think it's been out for a while.

Anyways, when I try to log into the main recommended server (where I already have an account), before I even get to the login page, it gives me this error

Which is a pretty funny thing for the official app to say about the official main instance 🤣

Instead I just installed the PWA from the browser. It works ok.
