  I guessed Swansea. It’s a fantastic place to live when the weather is on your side. Glad you enjoyed it there. You’ll always be welcome to return.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in the uk they encourage smokers by printing cigarette packs as collectibles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Whales?

  Fuck’s sake…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little treat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My instance isn’t .world, I don’t subscribe to this community and I’m not in that comment chain… so, uh?

  Trying to have a serious debate in this community is… optimistic.

  I’m sure you have the best of intentions but, honestly, here and now it’s not the place nor time. I’m just here for the low quality, low effort, offensiveness of it all.

  I dig the Dada v Nihilism vibe of shitposting. We can talk about that here if you want, it’d be appropriate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little treat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re more than entitled to your opinion, although personally I think you’re incorrect; especially in this community.

  This is a Shitposting community.

  We not really here for the moral and ethical concerns of modern society we’re only here for the lulz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little treat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps the guy supposedly renting the supposed prostitute is such a terrible father - as exhibited by his behaviour here, for example - that he is disowned by his family; thus he has no other Father’s Day presents from the kids that don’t speak to him anymore? That’s why he’s buying his own present - to feel the companionship of another human and try to reconnect with humanity for a brief moment.

  Or he just loves fucking hookers.

  I don’t really think about memes too much - but I always check what community and what instance I’m in before contributing to the conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little treat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you arrive at the conclusion that the woman was the butt of the joke?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves marvel movies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Real and gay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Charlie Kirk wannabe beaten up debating people in Manchester⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a tiny subsection of humanity where it’s unfortunately easier to explain things with a closed fist than an open mouth. “Strength” is the only language they understand - so how else can we communicate?

  I don’t advocate violence but I see it like presents - it’s better to give then receive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheese is available⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even cows are allowed to laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it spelled "grey" or "gray"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Split infinitive? To boldly go or to go boldly? If it’s intelligible I’d let it slide - second languages and all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some police forces take training very seriously; perhaps not where you live, admittedly, but not all police forces are equal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know about that one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That does occasionally happen in Saudi - for sure. Mostly it’s the immigrants being raided, for obvious reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, for sure. But with the actual question being asked I wasn’t going to get all historical - I thought I’d stay with an eli5 answer for simplicity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is an “interconnected network” which, yes, originally used only cables - because that’s all there was.

  A car is still a car - even when you substitute the combustion engine for an electric motor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WACK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great. Now I know that spooning might lead to a different type of spooning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between the UK justice system and the U.S. justice system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are magistrate and crown courts. Magistrates will deal with “lesser” crimes themselves but will forward the “big ones” onto the Crown Court.

  For more serious crimes you still (mostly) have the right to a jury trial.

  We also differentiate between solicitors and barristers. Both are lawyers. Solicitors are everywhere and it’s super easy to have a meeting with one. Barristers tend to be retained on your behalf via your solicitor. It’s possible to not even see your barrister until you’re in court and they are defending you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PAWG P-A-W-G⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lovely answer - but you’re in a shitposting community…

  What kind of content did you expect here?

  Low quality? Low effort? Offensive?

  tick ✅ tick ✅ tick ✅

  I doubt whether the vast majority of British readers would’ve been jolted by it - at the time of first publication. It was a word that had been in everyday parlance that got attached to dark “things” as a describer.

  Here’s the thing though, go forward maybe 15 years again and you have the 1964 Smethwick constituency election. The winner had a, uhh, memorable slogan: “If you want a n***** for a neighbour, vote Labour.”

  It’s worth noting that the “n*****s” in question were, most likely, gonna be from the Punjab. Go figure.

  So, yeah, in less than a generation the word in question went from everyday speech with no overt pejorative meaning to the explicitly racist word it is today. It morphed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a DNS address ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Very roughly speaking: Every device connected to the Internet is identified and communicated with using a unique number - just like the telephone system.

  DNS keeps track of the correlation between the device number vs how that device is identified in language.

  Very much like a telephone directory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you post here or other social media?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ideally I’d just lurk but I chip in every now and again to help the place keep ticking over. Without interaction these places would be wastelands.

  Thanks for asking the question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only joke about things that don't bother MMEEEEEE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On places like 9gag any old straightforward racism / sexism / genderism etc is always tagged as dark humour.

  It’s mainly asocial little boys who want to be edgy and controversial but are too scared to just straight up admit they have no social exposure to people different to themselves; and are terrified of everything that is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're so back⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s kind of two varieties. The Americas one is different to the other and was discovered more recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would a drug dealer kill their rich "client"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Balance an equation between what you are owed, how difficult it’ll be to recover the debt, the chances of them implicating you in supply, and what message the killing will send to others… if you think it’s worth it then go ahead. Personally though I’d try to extract (at least some of) what I’m owed - but if all else fails and you’re criminal standing / ego is damaged then you may well go ahead anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨phonetic alphabet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of them do, yeah. You may hear a bit of a “tongue click” or something with others first before the “s”. A lot of first-language English speakers seem to really struggle when they see two consonants together that they haven’t previously encountered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨phonetic alphabet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought it was “G for Gnome” - huh, never too late to learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all colleges and not all degrees are equal. Some people can excel in a single field but struggle in everything else. Some people have excellent memory function but precious little ability to reason. Some people change dramatically from their late teens to their late twenties. The list goes on…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Hell is this Bull shit ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah - it’s “fluid ounces” but due to a much memed question that someone once posted the internet sometimes refers to them as “Florida ounces” purely for the lulz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rich people get addicted to drugs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never kill someone who owes you money - that’s terrible business. Kill for revenge or to send a message…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a pretty solid answer - well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨London stabbing rates vs X posts about London crime⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regardless of the whole big c / little c argument I’d still be hard pressed to find one person that was alarmed with falling crime figures…

  I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the poster meant a “knee-jerky, xenophobic, Reform / BNP / UKIP / English Alliance etc. voting Londoner” because, yeah, that headline would be counter to their narrative.
