Seen perusing #MeFi today: #Cheese! https://cheesemap.netlify.app/
Grids for milk vs texture, rind treatments, molds both internal and external, processing techniques, aging durations, etc.
And notable gaps where particular styles are feasible but don't exist yet.

So status.metafiler.com says that it should be up, but downforeveryone says it's down and when I try to reach it directly I get a cloud flare garbled error page.
Hmmm 🤔

If you like maps and jigsaws - and let's be honest, who doesn't? - then try Scrambled Maps. It's a game where you unscramble a map of a city by moving tiles around to the right order. One city each day. Today's city is Damascus and I unscrambled the map in 20 moves.

This request by @real_jamescain for obscure book recommendations is definitely turning up suggestions I have never heard of. Am amplifying by also posting the question to Ask #MetaFilter :

Happy 25th birthday, Metafilter! And thank you @jessamyn and everybody 🎉🍾🥂
#MeFi @metafilter -
I'm keeping a close eye on my anxiety levels in reaction to MetaFilter at the moment. MetaFilter can be fantastic, but during the beginning of Covid some people's relentless doom posting and tendency to catastrophise did a number on my mental heath, and I don't want that to happen again.
It's not so much that people are posting inaccurate information - it might be accurate - but the attitude of "don't even dare hope anything might ever be ok" is harmful to me.

"it just feels like nobody is friends there anymore"
Wow, that hurts because it's dead-on. I had nice friends on MeFi, but I operated under the (admittedly naïve) assumption everyone there was a friend or a friend of a friend. The dissolution over the last few years of that kind of vibe really hit me hard. It's hard to be in your online third place, trying to be your best self and be nice and have a nice time and regularly have people attempt to take a big-ass bite out of you or stomping into the room to unload.
I'd like to say I'll go back someday, but I honestly do not know. It took a lot out of me when I buttoned. I'm still not over it. #mefi #metafilter

Chairs of Star Trek:

Via #Mefi -
I was just perusing the #Mefi post on #Oglaf and... sometimes I think most of using the internet is about remembering these things exist? And going back to them often enough so that the makers know they're loved, and keep doing them? It's SO EASY to forget great things exist, and it's REALLY COMMON for things to stop existing while you're gone.
The ways the internet has for reminding you of great things are all deficient. #Google? Sucks now, and if you don't remember what to search for you'll never find it anyway! #RSS? Okay if the site has a feed; many don't! People reminding you? EXTREMELY SCATTERSHOT. Social media? Twitter _outright deranks your posts_ if you have the temerity to link to something!
I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it

@dirtyoldtown and other Metafilter people -
I'm having so many issues making FanFare posts. The movies I want to post there aren't listed on IMDb, and the TV shows don't show up on that drop down list. Which means it prevents me from posting.So I'm just choosing "other media" as a category but this doesn't seem like a great solution. What am I missing?

In the past, I've posted scores of short story recommendations to #MetaFilter. As part of the current fundraiser, I'm interested in making further front page posts recommending short #scifi and #fantasy stories you can read for free online!
For the rest of August: MeMail me to tell me you've contributed USD $150 to #MeFi, and I'll make a post. $225 if you want to specify some kind of theme.

I guess this would ostensibly be what AskMetafilter is for, but I'm not in the mood for someone to somehow find a way to accuse me of being a classist able-ist racist hermitosis-ist. ( #mefi subtweet )

Metafilter podcast 192: "The week between last week and this week" is up!
@jessamyn and @joshmillard have a nerdy debate about the relative term "this week" and "last week" and that mystery week in between them, and try not to talk too much about the weather ...

Mefi member PlusDistance on Chick-fil-A testing a fried-cauliflower sandwich:
> CFA is caving to the vegans
Look, we're all intimidated by the vegans. Their swagger. Their hair-trigger tempers. Their clear, powerful aortas. The vegan goon squads taking over the streets (and if you've ever used the term "vee-goons," you're not funny—you're just part of the problem). But that's just what they want. We have to stand up to them. Those maniacs can smell fear. And to them, it smells like sweet, sweet tofu.

@mostlymartha an instance is a server. Someone explained it as being like email-there’s gmail and yahoo and hotmail, and they all communicate with each other.
The way this place works is, you do an introductory toot and put hashtags on everything. Then everyone retoots it. And everyone who sees it follows you and retoots it. There is no algorithm here, so no one will see anything unless it’s retooted or they search on a hashtag.
Like this:
