Some of our #RuralBroadband customers use the company e-mail for complaints not directly connected to our services. Like "There are very few #mushrooms in the forest this year". What can I say? "Try turning the forest off, wait 60 seconds, then turn it on again".
Perhaps I should fuck EM radiation, avoid the hassle with overcrowded frequencies, buy some #fungi and switch to a sporenet.
@szescstopni watch out for the The Last of Us prophecy
Why else do you think I'm on spore.social?
"Try turning the forest off, wait 60 seconds, then turn it on again"."
LOL I love this.🤣 🤣
@Snowshadow I don't have many problems with my rural broadband. Even when there's a technical problem they know what's going on and they know everything is being done to get them back online.
That is wonderful.
I found your comment about the forest very funny. Thank you for the chuckle. After reading about politics, the comic relief was welcome.
@Snowshadow Damned, I made a typo and mu instance doesn't really allow me to edit toots. The last word of the first sentence was "customers". And yes, I love simple solutions, like turn it off and on again, to complex problems. Unfortunately such solutions don't work.
Typos? No worries. I understood your meaning.😀
(every day, almost every post, I am thankful for the edit feature. lol.)
Our mastodon server already did. Hence the name. 😀
@EricLawton All spores are in a net right? But the basic question is, who was first? The spore or the net?
That's a harder question than the chicken/egg equivalent.
At least for me, because I don't know the evolutionary history of fungi.

@szescstopni That is just begging for a Radio Yerewan reply 😂
@mann_ey Oh, yes. Radio Yerevan is the best.
@szescstopni you should have a bulletin board and a RSS to spread such knowledge ... people want to know where mushrooms are better in their area.
@frankboon We could tell them where the mushrooms are, but then we'd have to kill them.
@szescstopni or you could send them on a scavenger hunt for them with seemingly unavoidable traps ... the one that survives, gets a golden mushroom ...
@frankboon I could. I'm evil.
@szescstopni alas the golden mushroom would be poisonous!
@szescstopni for me it also raises the question: chaotic, neutral, lawful?!?
@szescstopni Bizarrely, just the other day I was noting a lower than usual amount of mushrooms in my local woods too (southern UK).
@gilester45 In my area the summer was dry this year. I wonder whether someone is gathering such data globally. Could be a fluke, could be a significant trend.
Mushrooms are supposed to be everywhere at this time of the year. A customer called today to report connection loss. They said the connection went down four hours earlier, and they went on a mushroom hunt, thinking this was a minor glitch and everything would be fine by the time they got back. Turned out the BTS had to be restarted, and it took some 15 minutes. But I learned that in their area, some 30 km away, there were also very few mushrooms, and most of them were infested with worms.
