There’s been a ton of updates, and a lot of bugs

[–] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I thought that the T, Q, I and A updates were rolled in over the following years, with later updates all bundled under "+".

[–] AnitaAmandaHuginskis@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Ridiculous. This has been around since this new thing called "forever"

[–] CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

True, but we weren't allowed to talk about it & didn't have a word for it until 1995.

/s I guess, I dunno

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 55 minutes ago

I very much remember AC/DC being the term used in personal ads by bi- folk

A tribute to the Australian rock band, of course.

That was pretty much true for the general public. No /s needed.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Ever since Adam, Eve, and Steve.

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

as a bi/pan guy, this is my all time favourite image.

‌so fkn stupid 😂

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I think I speak for the heterosexuals and gender binary when i say that the image is the 1995 and Western version of "why are u gae?" moment. It's the heteronormative society not comprehending the world outside of their own view. It's usually one likes either a man or a woman but can't be both. It reminds me of the debate whether or not Alexander the Great is gay. But as someone pointed, why argue if he liked either men or women, but never considered if both? Now i can see why bi-erasure is a thing.

[–] TheRiskiestBiscuit@reddthat.com 14 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

They look like they’re about to release an absolutely sickkkk synthpop album.

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

a self-titled album from the band 'Bisexuality' has insane aura ngl

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

The two weird euro guys with one singer? Ya checks out....

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

It's a good thing they included a picture, so you'd know what bisexuals look like.

[–] Dreamcatcher@lemmy.zip 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

This is not enough.

I need a bisexual identification book, just like those ones for mushrooms.

Unlike mushrooms though, I won't eat the bisexuals. I promise.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

I'd eat the bisexuals 😏

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fact: mushrooms are non binary

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago

Marijuana is one of the few plants that have two sexes

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

I do look a bit like the guy on the right without facial hair tbh

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

I’m trysexual. I’ll try anything.

[–] raptore39@lemmy.ca 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I heard there was a miscommunication from the project lead and the project was forked

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, everyone on that project got forked hard.

[–] peacepath@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Yes, it is so new... Alexander the Great is adready known as bisexual, but he is no one...

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] lena@gregtech.eu 20 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Yes, Bisexuality was pioneered in 1995 by Sex corp. to sell more sex.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Omni and Pan were released by their competitors, but consumers don't really understand the difference, so everything gets call Bi the same way all adhesive bandages get called Bandaids.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 19 hours ago

I guess I need to brush up on queer history!

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This was 1995; sexuality was a "new" topic. Identifying as anything other than straight could literally cost you your life. It was 2 years before Ellen would come out publicly on TV because she feared losing her show and 3 years before Matthew Shepard was tortured and dragged to death for being gay.

A lot of boomers believed and probably still believe that being bisexual was the lazy way of not making a choice. The 90s are pretty romanticized now but it was a scary time for a lot of LGBTIA+ folks.

[–] TheRiskiestBiscuit@reddthat.com 1 points 19 hours ago

Holy cxxp, Cary Grant was bi?!

…actually, no… no, that’s not really that surprising…

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is that story subtitle a haiku?

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Neither gay nor straight
New orientation dropped
Called "bisexuals"

I hate that I was compelled to count the syllables in this.

Can't improve on perfection.

[–] cosmicrose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 100 points 1 day ago (13 children)

Everybody switched over to Pansexuality when it released in 2010.

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 13 points 1 day ago

Honestly I know this is unpopular but Pansexuality was a cash-grab. They just rereleased Bisexuality with a new marketing campaign.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everybody most certainly did not switch over! They hard forked it and sure some people moved to the new fork because they liked the maintainers more and it has the community they vibe with, but a lot of people stayed with the old one and are still using it. The trademark stayed with the original fork, which means the new fork had to develop a new flag which not everyone in the community is stoked about...

There's a couple side-forks with small communities, like Omni, but most people consider them pretty niche.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And honestly bisexual is just such a stable fork overall. It functions well with mainstream architectures but also makes a great entry point into sexualities that aren't expressed in binary format. AND if you actually do the work of reading into the docs you find out that it's not even just limited to the traditional two-gender dichotomy. So if you really really need some super specific fork of a fork of a fork for some super specifically narrow use-case that's fine, but honestly in 90% of the cases bisexual actually covers most of the features you need and is widely recognized / compatible with the other stuff you're using with half the effort.

Edit: just wanna give a shoutout to my hubs. I grew up as a tumblr pan girl and honestly he's super based as a bi dude. First of all it's way harder to be bi as a dude and also he introduced me to the actual bi manifesto and how the bi's have always been super inclusive to begin with by not assuming there are two genders to begin with but also that trans girls & boys are just girls & boys so that aspect doesn't count as an extra gender to be attracted to anyway soooo. Mans has always been super based and I love him a lot.

At least they made it open source. Someone forked it after the bisexuality devs said they will not include non binary people. Migrating all my sexual fantasies to pansexuality already

[–] SirW00talot@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Get in bitches we're quadsexual

[–] Felis_Catus_Domesticus@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Be interesting to see how many in the article from 1995 are still living that lifestyle today.. Must look like that old lemon party shock pic today.

.

[–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Does anyone remember lemonparty.co.uk? It was a cartoonish drawing of a bunch of lemons in party hats standing around a table

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago

Pic? Look harder
