      That’s…odd. That echidna didn’t even show up as a result but only on some other search.

      Edit: i search “red toad” and while the mushroom is there, it only appear once. I think search result nowadays also based on your past search.

        You searched “knuckle” singular, not “knuckles” plural. It gives the echidna with the plural search term, since that’s his name.

    This is why search engines fucking suck now. Movies, music and shit come up before results on the actual thing you searched for, you should never have to type ladybug the insect, it should have to be ladybug animated series before you get results like this.

      That’s the algorithm, basing top results on number of views.

        Yeah and I’m saying it sucks. Should be topical informational results at least for the first page.

      I find it funny that you are complaining about this not happening before while the comment directly above you has a dinosaur-era tumblr post describing the same problem

    Well, at least I know it’s not that far from my human mind.

    Once it took me a good minute to understand that when someone referred to “our furry friends”, they were referring to animals…

    Trying to search any specific quote by Charlie Kirk within a day or two after his shooting was near impossible. at least on Google. It was about the ninth page of Google when I stopped seeing the majority of the search results being just articles about his shooting.

        No option for “older than x date”.

        Google used to have an option for searching between specific dates, but many ones nowadays just have “last month, week, day” or whatever. Why the constant need for freshness? Let it simmer and wait…

    The results are actually from bing, searching directly on bing gives the same results and ddg is just querying that. Not defending anyone here but I hope this will make people hate Microsoft more. Fuck you Microsoft.

      DDG’s results are based in Bing’s index, but they’re not identical. I’m still waiting for DDG to act on a report I made of an extremely antisemitic (actual antisemitic, not anti-zionist) website made up mostly of freebooted content that shows up front and centre in a search I made. Bing doesn’t show that site, despite the rest of the results for my query being similar.

    i looked for software for creating text files from file templates and all results were about c# stuff in visual studio. now, i do work with c#, but this happened across multiple devices and search engines and either way, i would prefer for search engine to not store and collect shit about me and just trust me, that i will specify c#, when thats what im looking for

      Search engines such as DuckDuckGo and Google have an “exclude” feature, prepend a word with “-”

      Searching “rick” returns mostly Rick and Morty, while “rick -morty” excludes “morty”, thus returning mostly Rick Astley

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
