Oh yes @Seth is here from the bird site. Follow him, he is awesome and one of the few left there that I missed reading.

If you are interested in Green politics, especially in Norway, the UK or Sweden or maybe you just love dogs. This is the guy for you!

@ruari @Seth Time to post the “true facts about Norway” thread here too – we need something to say “this one is true, but this – this one – is not, okay, it is also true” about.

@tanketom @ruari Definitely a possibility, would need to be well prepared if so, likely we would be splitting the same hairs!

@Seth @ruari A reboot, not a remake. I like it.

@tanketom @ruari appreciate the encouragement! It's weird being a new user on an unfamiliar platform

@Seth @ruari It’s like Twitter, but less nazis, and we sometimes get to block entire nazi servers at once. Also, desperately convince people we’re not all IT Dads On Bikes.

"Also, desperately convince people we’re not all IT Dads On Bikes."

How is that working out for you because it ain't working out so well for me… 🤪

@tanketom @ruari I only have good things to say about I.T. dads with bikes

@tanketom @Seth You need a smaller cycle. Perhaps lose a wheel? 🤷🏼

Is that a Moustache bike?

Love the term though, considering creating T-shirts with "IT Dad on Bike" 😛

@gauteweb That IS a Moustache bike. Lundi 26.2.

@tanketom
Cool, the Moustache bikes look awesome, is it good to ride as well?
Show threadAndreas H. Opsvik Nov 29, 2022
@gauteweb I like it very much, though my basis of comparison is a bit limited. A very urban bike, though, not great on any form of gravel except very compact dirt, but it's like a omafiets if it were a tank, heavy and sturdy.

@gauteweb @tanketom @Seth I would buy this shirt

Looks like "it dads on bikes", rather than "IT dads on bikes" but TBH I am 100% OK with that! 😜

You can change the font if you want, but I kinda like the duality of it 😛

@gauteweb @tanketom @Seth And yes… it still looks like "it dads on bikes" 😆
Show threadAndreas H. Opsvik Jan 6, 2023
@ruari @gauteweb @Seth We might have made a new verb. "Wow, it dads! It dads… on bikes!"
Show threadVelocipede RiderNov 29, 2022

@gauteweb @tanketom @Seth Of course I might not be able to wear it as soon as I get it because I'll probably have to give it to my wife to give to the kids, so that they can give it back to me for Christmas… as a surprise! 🤪

But… this is the "dad way", so I am ok with it.

@Seth @tanketom I started this personal instance 8 months back and first arrived in the fediverse shortly before that (not long compared with some but long enough to get some feel for the place). I also am somewhat involved with social.vivaldi.net, which is an instance hosted by my employer (in a small part because I kept talking about Mastodon at work 😆). So if you have questions, just ask!
