I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

It looks like there are a number of reports on this post. If you could edit a tag into the title, such as

This is something that’s hard to describe with words
This video has someone going that speed, they also talk through some of the considerations on how to do that safely

There’s also this video with a motorcycle doing something similar

So while this isn’t the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It’s done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca had something stickied right now:

I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on community.nodebb.org, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.
Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.
But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?

More places seem to be switching over to a centralized/interoperable system for prescription information. In BC Canada we have
…gov.bc.ca/…/pharmanet-bc-s-drug-information-netw…
PharmaNet is a provincewide network owned and operated by the Ministry of Health. PharmaNet keeps a record of every prescription dispensed in B.C. community pharmacies and select hospital outpatient pharmacies.
In another Lemmy thread recently, someone mentioned that Australia has a national system for it. I think this might be it
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 2 months ago:
If my understanding is correct
With Islam, the deity is meant to have no gender and the use of “he” has more to do with the nuances of Arabic language
With Christianity, there is more anthropomorphism and the deity is seen as a father figure in comparison to everything else

- Comment on Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars 2 months ago:
Relevant bit
Over the weekend, Spencer sat down for a lengthy interview with XboxEra in which he discussed his favorite games, talked about what various Xbox studios are working on, and dished on the industry at large. And he was also honest about Xbox no longer being part of any console war, as it shifts to selling Xbox games on other consoles, like PlayStation.
“I would love to make all of the money for all of the games that we ship, right? Like, obviously we make more on our own platform,” said Spencer. “It’s one of the reasons that investing in our own platform is important. But there are people, whether it’s their libraries on a PlayStation or Nintendo, whether it’s they like the controller better, they just like the games that are there.”
“I’m not trying to move them all over to Xbox anymore,” added Spencer.
Now, I don’t expect that to mean the sudden cessation of manufacturing of current Xbox hardware. I’m not entirely sure I believe that any of this means we won’t get another generation of the console at some point, either.
But I can see that happening. And everyone can already see how Microsoft has begun to pivot away from focusing on its console, has begun a far greater foray into cloud gaming through the Xbox Game Pass platform, and it has even begun moving away from the exclusivity we wrung our hands over months ago
- Comment on Antarctica's Only Insect 2 months ago:
Belgica antarctica, or the Antarctic midge, is the only insect that lives year-round on its namesake continent. Do you know how weird you have to be to be the only insect somewhere? But this midge doesn’t care. It just lives out its bug life, which lasts two years, in an otherwise bugless wasteland.
Humans definitely care about the midge, though—how could we not? What is it doing there? How is it not dead? What can it teach us about cryopreservation? These questions are addressed in a new study that resolved mysteries about the animal’s interesting life cycle.

can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it
Yes, the first one is arguably a service but the second one is a problem

Tesla employees passed around videos taken in car owners’ private garages and other interesting recordings captured by the cameras built in to the company’s vehicles, Reuters reported today. “We could see them doing laundry and really intimate things. We could see their kids,” according to one of nine former employees who told the news agency about the practice.
- Comment on Can the public expect to get to see Luigi Mangione's 3 page manifesto in its entirety in a reasonable timeframe? 4 months ago:
I saw this earlier, and some comments were saying that it’s fake. The reasons stated were
-
it doesn’t match the other snippets that were released (but those other snippets may not be real either, or this might be a separate document from the one at the arrest)
-
it doesn’t match his writing style (which might be reasonable given that it was hand written)
It might be better to wait for more confirmation
