What is this serious posting doing here?
Was my joke good?
There was a joke in there?
- Comment on Hating TANKIES is my ENTIRE personality. I'm a dumbocrat 6 days ago:
What? People are making fun of tankies in a community dedicated to making fun of tankies?
That’s an outrage!
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 1 week ago:
Bitch, you can say bitch on the internet.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 week ago:
I guess. But it’s good enough for me and all my content is only in 1080p anyway, so I don’t think the display is limiting me too much.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 week ago:
I got a “signage display”, which is basically just a large monitor connected via HDMI.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 week ago:
Yes.
Even better, get rid of it entirely and get a dumb TV.
- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 1 week ago:
I almost qualified for the World Cyber Games LAN event at some point.
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
But what about all my patreon subscriptions? There is people relying on me!
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
Most legit websites don’t take crypto, though.
- Comment on 8BitDo’s wireless remake of the Nintendo 64 controller is now available 1 week ago:
“remake”.
That’s just an entirely new controller compatible with the N64 …

Reminds me that I still have some episodes of Eromanga Sensei left …
- Comment on Pattern Recognition 1 week ago:
Nah, they aren’t blood related so it’s fine.
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
Individual purchases, sure, but I’ll just be delaying them for a months so that’s not really hurting them. The bigger issue is canceling dozens of subscriptions for a month (and then having to re-subscribe to everything). That sounds like a hassle.
And even switching to cash in stores sounds very annoying. I’d have to use a cashier checkout, which means standing in line and then you have to fumble around with cash and wait for change …
… nope. I can’t do it.
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 1 week ago:
We all know some obnoxious people exist and are annoying but they are small minority confined to their own space.
But why are so many of them confined to lemmy?
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
Most websites don’t take cash, though.
- Comment on Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS 1 week ago:
And even at that price I still wouldn’t eat it.
- Comment on US education 2 weeks ago:
But surely that’s some old book and is no longer used to teach today, right? Right???
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, lemmy is a pretty extreme bubble. Hopefully things improve as it gets bigger, but it will be a while.
For now you’ll just have to avoid any “controversial” takes on topics lemmy is obsessed with … or use throw away accounts.
- Comment on TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear" 2 weeks ago:

So if your personal morals align with Hitler, does that make it okay to be a nazi?
Whether or not something is ok is a moral judgement, so it again depends on who you ask. A nazi will of course think it’s ok … that’s probably why they are a nazi. If you asked me personally, I think it’s not ok.
I believe The Dude who lived a perfect life, was crucified, then rose from the dead is God.
Right. But we haven’t heard of him in a while, so it’s kind of hard to consult with him on moral issues. And his book isn’t that comprehensive, contains some rather questionable takes and also is not really keeping up with a lot of more modern moral issues. Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the “correct” one. So in the end it’s still up to you to decide which interpretation you like best.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 3 weeks ago:
I would have assumed that everyone that was going back to the office would have done so a while ago … like in 2022.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 3 weeks ago:
So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?
That is really up to you. Whomever your personal morals align with the most. Or don’t listen to anyone and just rely on your own morals.
Basing your morals on “god” is just kicking the can down the road. First of all … which god? There is hundreds of them. And even if people agree on the god, they disagree on the interpretation of the morals. So you’re still left with the questions “So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?”.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on who you ask. If you ask the Nazis they’ll say it’s ok. The people they took over would probably disagree.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 3 weeks ago:
Morals only exist by consensus. If enough people agree something is moral, it practically is. They are an idea, not something that actually exists in nature.
- Comment on Is Mexican food uniquely good with alcohol or have I just been conditioned? 3 weeks ago:
Conditioning. It’s literally one of the last food I would want with alcohol.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 3 weeks ago:
I’m not looking for a cheese alternative. I want the exact same cheese as it is now, just without the need for a a cow. So it better have lactose.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know and I don’t want to find out.
- Comment on electrostatic spider flight 3 weeks ago:
Bananaspider is quite ambiguous and refers to multiple spiders.
Golden Orb Weaver is the common name for Nephila (which this one is not), though often wrongly applied to Argiope.
This one is Argiope aurantia, which as a bunch of common names including “golden garden spider”, but I prefer “black and yellow garden spider”.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Not sure what the core reason is, but Reddit also had a big German population.
I guess Germans are rather privacy focused so they might have been disproportionately migrating during the reddit exodus.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Because there are many Germans on Lemmy.
