  I don’t golf, but I don’t think I could chip a shot that badly if I tried. FFS, even as a minigolf round, I’ve done better over that distance.

  Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

  This is what keeps the Third World in the Top 3!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ghibli posting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing the Lord’s work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now that is something that you didn't know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very common at places up in Lapland as well, though not super useful anymore since everyone just has an app that does the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So seductive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More like “these boys, oh. Why is he carrying a barrow? Are they making a music video?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate the modern web⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I’m using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison slavery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all. This person is only describing life/work in some of the post-WII developed world. Historically, this is the anomaly, not the norm.

  For a large part of recorded history, the formula was that land/resource holders offered anyone the cheapest, lousiest, and worst acceptable conditions in exchange for work. The conditions of the resource holders also actually sucked, and when leveraging economies of scale, offers of relative physical and economic security (sure, you’ll be kinda poor, but you don’t have to travel to another town to sell grain to survive because the Lord will always buy it from you at a “fair” rate.) were typically the value add that made it worth it to consider share-cropping under nobility as opposed to simply going it alone.

  I’m not sure why Reddit and Lemmy seem so hell-bent on this fantasy version of history where farming is a joy denied us by the wealthy, but its hilariously misguided. Considering where things are headed, it sounds like for many it will end up being a dangerously wrong fantasy that others can take advantage of easily, and people that post things like this will learn the lesson first hand.

  Cool beans.

  This is the best thing I’ve seen online in a week.

  If you don’t eat cows first, a cow will kill and eat you and everyone you love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my house, my rules.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, did they hang this on the front door of the White House this week?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday Emma!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zebra is delicious and is absolutely the counterfactual to show that horses would be a well.

  But Zebras as dicks, so eat them first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday Emma!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zebra is the solution.

  Zebra are assholes. They can’t be trained or domesticated. Their meat is delicious, and I delight in eating it. I get why lions love them.

  But I would sooner spend $20K at the vet on a horse than eat one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday Emma!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People in place where there’s a lot of crocs around generally don’t like to eat them because there’s a non-zero chance that you’re eating a croc that ate someone you know. Farmed Crocs are the workaround, but especially across rural southern Africa, there’s as much stigma with croc meat as Americans with horse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE KUDU⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their horns are massive and the older ones get scars on their backs from running through dense foliage and their horns being yanked back. These things run at the sliiiiiightest sign of trouble, so it’s adaptation that simply being able to run through brush and not break their own necks, and fight other males, are complimentary.

  They are beautiful, delicious Chads, and they know it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 33 cents a small amount of money?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Short of doing a demo with rolls of change or MnMs or something, asking people to conceptualize math that is not just simple addition is often asking too much. Especially when people’s financial literacy is learned at home from people who retired in 1996.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inching closer to the grave every day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still so mad at the Skoot Corp CEO for that ridiculous re-skeet where they memed the javalina charrp boys on doop.

  Am I having the stroke? Or is everyone else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not elaborate⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the Xennial side - hard agree.

  But we all know that Boomers are the scourge of the earth and may very well kill us all before they shuffle of this mortal coil… Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just asking⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite one so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kmk⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only rational answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poor guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is 100% correct in high detail.

  What’s amazing is that many other African countries have the same or a similar rule. And Starlink operates on those counties, meaning that he is willing to engage with the rules-as-official-bribes system. It’s that he wants to try and name the SA government look like they’re prioritizing bribes over “improving” things for the average person. He has demonstrated it’s entirely personal.

  Meanwhile, Amazon and EuTelSat are going to have a non-politicized alternative to market before he ever gets his head out of his ass, and lap him in that largest market on the continent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Awww, so nice.

  Can you serve as a job reference for them? “Yes, agent 83847 was sooooo stealthy. They never once accidentally sent me a dick pic.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think I prefer the fediverse chick⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, one of the 20 reasons I left reddit was the rather widespread nature of people with genuine mental health issues being everywhere. And that often, they simply just get down votes and not anything resembling compassionate suggestions for finding help.

  I haven’t seen many severely mentally ill people that can make it through the low bar of registering for Lemmy and be functional enough to post. But, I guess here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The actual IP gem is the early 2000s CGI cartoon Roughnecks that was far closer to the original book. Underrated, bit also hard to find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Guinness World Record for the largest private collection of fossilized dinosaur shit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy moved from Florida to northern Arizona (where you turn to go to the Grand Canyon) and opened the Poozeum where you can see the entire collection. Poozeum.com

  10/10, would recommend if you’re in the area. Realistically, its a fossilized poop collection with a gift shop in the middle, but that means hilarious poop-themed things for sale. There’s nothing not to love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Some of y'all are overly afraid of scorpions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a common thing? The one I found one time in my pool was dead, so I couldn’t ask him what he was doing there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The science is divided⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …what?

  Horse hair colors vary.

  If you shave a horse, any breeds with dark black or blue-ish grey hair will give you a variety of that pallet, getting dark enough to be stopped and frisked in larger American cities. Sometime blueish-black skin and hair pigmentation matches as well.

  Most other breeds will give you a pink color range.
