  My friend, I’ll refer you to map #14, which holds true. There’s also a billion people living south of these maps who I can tell you from experience, make most Americans seem demure.

  Imagine being the level of asshole that would spend the time to do this. I’m not surprised, just…disappointed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am definitely a bird me personally⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely hope this is the real answer.

  Are we having a meme cultural revolution? Or is this MMMA (Make Memes Memes Again)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who have eaten since December 31st, 2025, why are you trying to start new shit?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AH! I just realized I have 2025 shit still in me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza styles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like a photo from the box of a frozen Uno pizza

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true for Germans?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Somalia. There isn’t really a functional government to speak of, so if the people even acknowledged the UN-backed central government exists, that would be something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro, you could make 1 baby’s arm-sized joint and 30 of the strongest weed brownies ever made, plus a helping of weed-not-oregano pasta for dinner and do the job 100 times better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ID_10_ts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, the famously super-competent FBI directed by political loyalists who’s only qualifications are heavy plastic surgery and blind faith in an evil idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This also happens when people who love to cook at home get convinced to open a restaurant. There’s a reason why restaurants have cooks/chefs and managers that do the admin stuff, and loads of other delegation. Cooking food and giving it to people you know for free when they’re at your home is not the same as asking a world full of Karens to pay for your take on Mac n Cheese

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So ever since grad school, I have imagined scientists as people who are constantly overworked, underpaid, and depressed

  Uh… but you’re not that far off. Maybe not depressed if they really love their work, but some really hate writing up findings and looking for grants because it’s the admin part of the job that no one likes. It’s like every episode of Ologies where it’s a research scientist, she asks what the things they like least about their job is, and it’s always always always hustling for money and writing endless grant applications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone that recalls using Word 5.5 in DOS for a book report in 5th grade, as with all things, the peak has come and gone.

  IMO, the enshittification curve started about 2010ish when MS demanded internet connectivity for features that didn’t work. Saving PDFs was its peak. RIP Word 2007, which I used well into 2015.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100% for real. I simply can’t do freelancing Excel work with LibreOffice because I know the 1:1 compatibility falls apart quickly. Basic formulas are about as far as I can trust it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typical monopoly people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of all people, Gallagher made the point in the 80s. I think George Carlin also did a set about English words once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I boot into the Corn Kernel?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First, you gotta get ready for grub but being hungry for the kernel.

  Then, you grab the butter and slather it on your keyboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you know?...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really wish this just said “Did you know corndogs?”

  Yeah! I do! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How should I feel when reddit starts deleting and shadowbanning my alt accounts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This 100%. Also cross-reference IP addresses associated with the fridge’s IP to get Google/Meta advertising IDs on the whole family.

  There’s a non-zero chance that when Grandma comes over, she gets ads just for her as long as she’s there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit global rank is going down⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like reddit is accidentally trying to speedrun dead internet theory.

  I stopped using it when their quality contributor score shadowbanned me because I don’t post enough in the right subs.

  My partner stopped using it for the same reason - account used every couple days for comments also shadowbanned out of no where.

  Starting a new account means grinding for a month or two in subs that force you to spam each other with up votes before you can ever do anything other than post and ask the mods to approve your post manually.

  I be there’s a Linux distro that would run on it.

  Ew - eat an old? So stringy and greasy. You should have been feeding them to a volcano god!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL I am, apparently, as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He really made things worse smh my head⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, that PVC flavor was up there with cherry kool-aid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He really made things worse smh my head⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Scoff! I remember when Thanksgiving was venison and dry corn cobs dipped in sandy beach water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-masturbation DLC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-masturbation DLC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rituals are very important for humans. Always have been, since before we knew how to write them down. They punctuate the year, they anchor cultures, they provide context within a lifetime to measure change, and the seasonal progression defines the agricultural cycle.

  It’s interesting that Buddhism is also on a spectrum, like you say, where the Tibetan versions lean way into their original shamanic roots, and it goes from there down to the nearly secular Western versions. Zenju Earthlyn Manuel write a cool book about the shamanic origins of Soto Zen, and it really all tracks. It’s order overlayed on the ad hoc nature of animism. There’s a gap where intent and, to some degree, ego powers magic, but with Buddhism, it’s like a negative space where you kind of are affecting the world around you, but you’re not invested in outcomes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-masturbation DLC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t subscribe to Chaos Magick per se, but I do appreciate the postmodern view and willingness to sort of aggregate what works. Personally, it’s the cringe folks leaning into “I’m a mess, so I do chaos magic” crew that turn me off to the whole movement even though the premise is rational and based. That and I don’t like dealing with the costs of doing magick that just come with the territory. Sort of like remote viewing - if it works, then you get results and you’re doing it right.

  I’m pleasantly surprised at Lemmy’s response to this comment, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my mind⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, come find me on a youtube video about sheep cheese and I’ll debate you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Holy shiiiiit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah - that’s my bad, I forgot civilized places in the world had pension still and not speculative con jobs where we prop up the private industry via the stock market with retirement money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's always about dat math⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When people tell me they get food delivered that isn’t a classic range of delivery foods (plus Ethiopian) so they can not be disturbed doomscrolling or binging TV, I immediately think less of them. Especially when it’s food that very obviously doesn’t travel well.

  In the time it takes to pick something and get it to you, you can cook 1 of 900 million things that will be better. Even when drunk. Even when high AF. FFS, even frozen pizza is faster then delivery. Let alone the cost. Soggy-ass fry eating MFers deserve the cold sad food you eat.
