  How the bots aggregate upvotes that are likely veterans.

  Lemmy is public, y’all. Be careful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My in-laws almost named my partner Siobhan. My first name is also unique and not intuitively spelled. We have a family joke about this name and my partner dodging a bullet.

  If you’ve never dealt with regular people, outside Ireland, it would be an utter nightmare to say “last name is Shu-vahn, S, I, O…” and get cut of by O by aggressively stupid people who have already written down “Shuvaughn” and moved on. I’ve been told by people I don’t know how to spell my own name, or that my first name is now something that sounds similar and is more familiar to them, and not what I’m telling them.

  Only people with EU passports should ever mess with Celtic spellings of names.

  I like to give the cow a jaunty hat and galoshes! Then two men hatch from the cow.

  And in my mind I will make it happen to a bunch of clowns in DC, and enjoy every second.

  Nice try ;)

  The most I’ve seen in one place was South Africa. But only ever seen white, black, or dark blue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slice of ketchup anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In American schools, this is considered a serving of vegetables.

  I think I saw some dipshit with one there last year. I just figured it was the kid of the owner is the local Ford dealership. Surely no one else would spend money on one and drive it into city center, other than for the spectacle alone… right? Surely this just one guy, right?

  What’s funny is how relatively rare the VW Amarok is in Europe. Buy local for your shitkicker pickup truck!

  Another comment mentioned it, but the DNA is 99.9-100% in common. Ants have haplodiploidy, so the females and males aren’t just male/female versions of the same DNA.

  Also, if a queen dies, her own worker larva are raised into new queens. So the meme is just silly overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shirley, you can't be serious⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1. her.

  2. They’re more or less clones, the queen is “in charge” because she’s a linchpin to the colony keeping going genetically.

  So… Probably a bot, yeah?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hail math!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Venn diagram of people that think this, and also buy books about compete BS Bible numerology are a circle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve seen this same meme about 475 times today.

  Will I awake tomorrow to 476? Only time will tell.

  Life ain’t fair. Neither is Monopoly. That’s the point!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The house always wins⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree. My family always played strict rules, and the game was always a painful slog. Constant mortgaging properties to afford rent somewhere else, a while game hanging on $11 here and there. The game I played in a mobile home during power outages was about living paycheck to paycheck.

  The first time I saw people do the free parking tax money thing, I thought they were joking. The fuck kind of soft baby game is this? Two times around the board first? Why? Just give $600 more to start, idiots. Why not let the car roll 3 dice or some shit because a car goes faster than an iron?

  There’s a place for an Africa version of this.

  Chaotic big would be hippos. Lawful big eles. Neutral big giraffes. All 3 will straight up murder you, but only the hippo will do it for fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a small farm owner, no image has ever been more accurate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My family has a few… They’re good at some things, but can be dumb as a box of hair at other things. They’re the perfect entry for lawful stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when it’s over and over. Like someone is manipulating spacetime just to humiliate you. Where you lost so many times that statisticians should study the chances against you and how you managed to beat them by an order of magnitude.

  There’s a Malian movie named Guimba the Tyrant. Spoiler alert for a 31 year old movie, but the king’s weakness is women, and a shaman sends a hypnotic luscious booty mistress to lure the king’s out into the bush (where he is presumed killed).

  Was that not what manna was in the Old Testament? Drops of “Oh Yeahway”?

  The recipe for oral rehydration solution, the Gatorade base, is 1 liter water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2T sugar. Shake to mix.

  You can add OJ, lemon and/or lime juice, kool-aid powder, mio, crystal light, etc. for flavor.

  The Italian version is sparkling water, juice of a lemon slice, and big dash of salt.

  Also, that a city would have done what cities do, attract people from all over, from an array of cultures and languages.

  It’s literally an allegorical warning against diversity, and the perils of not hiring an engineer.
