Ha! And the very same day I ask, I stumble over an example:

Roggenrola –50 candy–> Boldore –200 candy–> Gigalith

So my question now is: Is it the only one?

Teddiursa –50 candy–> Ursaring –100 candy–> Ursaluna

@ljrk Oh no, that's awful.

@krono @cjust

@jpelckolsen Same thing here. So sad.

@smlx4

Will try to remember!

Is anyone running a fedi bot for reminders? I seem to remember someone was.

@ColesStreetPothole Sweden has been doing the same since the 70s or so and it has been an absolute gold mine for medical science.

But then in 2003 after the murder of Anna Lindh, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, they gave the police access to the DNA bank for the very first time and broke the trust forever. 😔

@joaocosta I used to believe that, but at this point I think the evidence is in that our communication methods and patterns are not just showing how ignorant and misinformed people are, they're actively making it worse.

@countcol

Kudos to John Cleland, you made a mark!

Makes me think of "Life of Brian", which was considered too blasphemous to show in Norway, and marketed in Sweden as so funny it's banned in Norway. 😁

@brianstorms @countcol In "Nexus", or at least in an interview I saw regarding the book, Yuval Harari suggests that every new information age has an initial chaotic era before society figures out the insitutions required to handle the new technology. Among the first bestsellers with the new printing press were witch-hunting manuals.

I imagine another category of early print bestsellers was porn, just like with VHS and the internet.

There are two "Pokemon Showcase" pokestops within ten minutes walk from me (and literally 100 regular pokestops). Every weekend and every Mon-Wed a Pokemon Showcase will have a new challenge "show off your biggest/smallest <specific pokemon species>". People submit a pokemon and the winner gets some XP or coins or something and other contestants get a bit less based on their rank.

These two stops regularly have 200 pokemon submitted. That's what I'm basing my 1000 players estimate on. It's a low estimate. I play every day and only once submitted a pokemon to the showcase.

Ten thousand people live within my housing estate, three minutes walk from each other. It is merely one of many estates in the area.

"Who is that tall kid and why is he waving at me? Is he one of kid's classmates at the tutor, who somehow recognizes me?"
"Oh, it's my kid."

This is literally what happened in my brain, no exaggeration.

I guess I don't see him from afar much. 😅

"Regular raids are big, often clunky, and require third party apps to coordinate, especially for bosses that require 7+ Trainers to complete."

Pokemon Go players in HK, where most gyms have literally a thousand players living within five minutes walk from the gym: Coordinate? You just go there when the egg hatches and ten strangers will show up. 😃

@civodul Agreed about EXWM, this is why I use GNOME: the reliability and touch controls make for a great experience even if its at the cost of customization.

@sim A guy I contracted for wrote an article about "outsourcing yourself", about his theory that it makes sense to move here.

If you live small enough, living in HK is cheap compared to Stockholm, New York or San Francisco. Everything except the rent is cheaper. But those places are far easier places to find someone who has a programmer mindset and who knows a language other than Java, Python and JavaScript. So maybe find them there and move them here.

In the end though, that guy moved to New York. For the kind of product he was building, I think he had an easier time finding investors there. Here it's pretty much all fintech, and he was more fin-adjacent.
