      Doubly so on federated platforms, though. Your ability to delete your posts, toots, and even DMs is at the mercy of other servers deciding to respect delete requests or ignore them. Not to mention completely invisible non-public nodes that are probably definitely as we speak hoovering up all data.

        And not even just “deciding” to delete them (though that’s true). Technical issues can prevent servers from receiving a deletion request even if they would have honored it.

        Huge spoilers from Futurama Bender’s Big Score

        spoiler

        So, on fry’s ass (yes literally), there was a code which if recited, spawns a paradox-free time travel bubble. The code is:

        001100
        010010
        011110
        100001
        101101
        110011
        

        Basically it’s 123456 in binary which is:

        001
        010
        011
        100
        101
        110
        

        But the digits are also mirrored so the 4th to 6th digit in each line is just the 1st to 3rd digits flipped.

        My username is the first 2 lines of the time code.

          Right on! I was (am) hugely into Futurama, I’m incredibly surprised I didnt realize it! Speaking of, still in a love hate feel for the new futurama season coming <3.
