The DS did have an IR sensor but (I’m pretty sure, don’t quote me too hard here) a majority of the local communication was using either wifi or a proprietary wireless connection using the wifi antenna/chip.
I specifically remember Pokemon Black/White having an IR quick-trade option where you had to put 2 DS’s back-to-back and being really confused about it because it seemed useless since it took so long to actually work.
I think they’re saying religious people believe that if it isn’t an enforced rule by either the law or some religion, people won’t follow it.
(I know it’s the jesse meme text but internet sarcasm is hard so I’m putting my interpretation anyway)
There is a bot (recently started posting) but it seems to be missing a few of the discussion threads (this and bleach both came to my mind)
Honestly It’s been way worse for me lol, the discussions here are actually meaningful so I can sink way too much time reading threads instead of getting bored after looking at 5 consecutive reposted memes on reddit
Edit: I’m not complaining though, this is definitely better
I’m guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can’t see your comment
