    My guess is the ‘t’ in ‘otl’ stands for Thomas. Or Timothy. Or Terrance. Maybe Tony but then Tony is mostly short for Anthony so probably not. What about Triangle? I give up.

    Edit: this is a test to ask does anything happen when a comment or post is edited?

      I am not seeing what you are seeing, but it could be short for ‘axolotl’. If you didn’t understand they were destined for world dominance, that’s on you.

      Edit: I think the post gets edited when you edit it. Dunno.

        When something like that gets edited, the server (e.g. Lemmy) sends out an Update message. That contains the whole post/comment but with the slightly updated content. This mail system just delivers it the same anyway, so we end up with some duplicate mail. Not quite sure how/if Updates should be handled…

          Rock on. I hope you were entertained by the conversation here and that you got all the tests you needed. (I always comment on test posts with the silliest things. A tester usually needs data and I am happy to provide.)

        I think OP is posting and commenting via email, so my question was related to how the email-activity-pub integration handles edits, if it does at all.

          Got it. TIL.

          I had a cat named Oliver once. He was fat. Kinda mean too.

            My sister had a big cat once. He was very sweet and shy. If you accidentally gave him a fright he would drop exactly two logs. I always wondered, did he always carry a couple of spare logs? Do all cats have this defence mechanism? Exactly how does dropping a couple of logs help in such a situation?

              None of the cats I have ever owned did that so I believe your kitty was a one-off. If the goal was to gross out a predator, he gets a gold star for effort. Maybe he was half or quarter human? Many people have been known to shit themselves, after all. Or, even part chinchilla… Our chinchilla produces an endless stream of raisins. Happy, mad, sad, scared or excited, there is always a nugget for everyone.

              The closest I had was a dog that would pee all over the place when he got excited or shit at the top of our stairs when he was mad at me. He was a Chihuahua, so he was always mad at me.
