You don’t operate the Bagger 288, it contains an artificial mind. This mind is full of hatred; violence is its sole vocation
- Comment on Anon is looking for a router 2 days ago:
I had a similar experience moving into a new apartment that had ethernet sockets in all the walls. Took me a while to realize that the cables connecting the sockets up were oldschool Cat5 (100Mbps max) cable, so even though I was plugging Cat6a into the wall it didn’t do a lick of good. Wi-Fi 6 on the other hand if giving me a little under 1Gbps.

It does explain the weird way that the question answers itself at the end without its author seemingly realising it. There aren’t the numbers to make it mathematically plausible to shift further right if you’re already at that extreme.
- Comment on Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers 5 days ago:
I used to think this but then discovered that most of the actual tankies are blocked by my instance.
By contrast I pointed my browser to lemmy.ml just now and the front page includes a celebration of “Russia Unity Day”, a reading group for “Soviet Democracy”, and three “good news only” type puff pieces about China. There’s definitely a solid bloc of propagandists out there.

Looks like their opponents did their campaigning for them.

or even enforces its own laws consistently

I was about to post that there was also more oxygen in the atmosphere during dinosaur times hence why they were so big, but I did a search to make sure and it turns out to be a debunked myth. TIL
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 1 week ago:
The only interaction I’ve ever had with mods on Lemmy has been every bit as awful as Reddit. People who want to become mods are usually not competent or well-adjusted.

Remember when open racism would get you a ban from social media platforms?
- Comment on name too hard? brain go ouch! Vote red. 2 weeks ago:
Never met them but I’m at least 98% sure they’re doing it on purpose for their own private entertainment. That’s why I do it at least.
- Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely. 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah they make a lot of money from sponsored posts, can’t let people mention products and services without paying
- Comment on true story 3 weeks ago:
Andrew Tate sounds like a satire of Andrew Tate half the time. Trolling teh libs by being ridiculous is part of their whole shtick
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 4 weeks ago:
CEOs are often hired to perform layoffs
Yeah that’s why I went out of my way in my description to specify everyone within the last year. Stops them being able to work their way around it by just hiring someone to get fired.
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 5 weeks ago:
Also when I’m King, if a company wants to make layoffs, anyone who has served as CEO within the past year also must be laid off, with the same severance package as all the workers that they failed.
- Comment on Oh dear 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure either. Is the joke porn?
- Comment on Anon loves GOG 5 weeks ago:
Baffling how much of the gamer community lines up to suck Gabe Newell’s billionaire cock when GOG is out there doing it way better
- Comment on Puff by boring puff 1 month ago:
That’s even more damning then, if the main pop culture connection between pyramids and cigarettes was already Camels
- Comment on Puff by boring puff 1 month ago:
ok no worries
- Comment on Puff by boring puff 1 month ago:
Howd they do that without malberrow red. That’s a joke wrapped up entirely in that image
It’s not a joke though. There’s no connection whatsoever between Marlboros and any topic even tangentially related to construction or pyramids. It’s a complete non-sequitur. It only makes sense if you’re about to get on as your alt to fake a witty comeback.
In the oncoming climate wars your thick head can help you rise through the ranks of a rag tag resistance group
What was the point of that? You just like being unpleasant to people online? Read Rule 1.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk strikes (is stricken) once again. 1 month ago:
Emergency self/home defense
I’ve always found this highly questionable on its own terms. You’re way more likely to get yourself or your family killed if you introduce a gun into the situation. Gun nut fantasies always involve them getting the drop on an intruder in the middle of the night, when the reality is that they’re way more likely to have the drop on you.
- Comment on Bang! 1 month ago:
One of the biggest problems with violent revolution, is that it almost always seems to end up putting violent people in charge of the next regime.
- Comment on Puff by boring puff 1 month ago:
idk I wasn’t there. Maybe the camels carried their lunch boxes.
- Comment on Puff by boring puff 1 month ago:
Sorry maybe I’m being thick but I don’t understand the question in any context other than the given answer?
By which I mean the question only makes sense as a question if you already know the punchline, which means the person asking already knew, so formatting the joke as a comment replying to them like that, is fundamentally compromised. It’s like those Facebook boomer joke exam papers where the kid has written “hilarious” answers to questions that obviously have never appeared on any real exam.
- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 1 month ago:
There don’t seem to be nearly enough attempts to force corporations to explain exactly what their money is trying to say when they donate to candidates from both parties, as many of them have done and still do.
- Comment on the tech billionaires have lost the plot 1 month ago:
big parts are private property
Surely that makes them easier to buy and develop on than if they were publically owned? Or am I missing your point?
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 month ago:
People are downvoting based on what they want the law to be rather than how it actually is. Trump’s promise is functionally the same as promising tax cuts, it’s just that he knows how to phrase it in a way that makes people feel more directly connected to it.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
Thanks. I think the single biggest barrier to the population as a whole eating more ethically is the way that veganism as a movement has taken on this absolutist dogmatic stance that makes it a dealbreaker for most people. If you make people feel as though cutting their meat intake by 50% is pointless because you’re still going to call them murderers, why would they make the effort?

the price increase still hits all the online shops
No, it hits the online shops that underpay their staff.
- Comment on Fox News sharing billionaire propaganda 2 months ago:
Retail isn’t as easy to maintain a monopoly as most industries. The moment Amazon gets more expensive than the next guy, the whole thing falls apart.
- Comment on White House Launches Arcade.Gov, a Minigame Site Where You Catch Immigrants, Build a Tetris Border Wall, and 'Fill Your Kids' Trump Accounts' With Bitcoin 2 months ago:
I’m confused as to how “MAGA”, a party political slogan, is allowed on a .gov domain. Seems like it should be illegal?
