Oh no, don’t tell me another innocent term has been captured by the far right??
In this case, using it in apolitical contexts might perhaps be a good thing, though?
Diluting its supposed significance… - Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 5 days ago:
Well, I guess many one into such stuff, sooo… :-)
- Comment on How festive 5 days ago:
😦
Do we have a DINgore sub somewhere on Lemmy?
- Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 5 days ago:
This sticker will definitely give guys ideas… 🫣

It’s a scan of a carbon copy of a physical picture… I know these specific kind of primordial copier-based proto-meme distribution from the 80’s and 90’s, but not after that any more.
So l would say, quite probably a still somewhat relevant leftover from the previous century… - Comment on 5 days ago:
Yes, actually it kinda brings its own kids friendly GUI.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
My kids learned mouse usage with GCompris at the age of 4 or so.
It has very basic ones for absolute beginners with high motivation factor.
And the rest of the educational package is also great, stuff for all ages in there.
Also free, open and multi-platform. - Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 5 days ago:
Logitech F710, works pretty seamlessly for me on Kubuntu and Mint with GoG/Lutris.

Did you see Duchovny in Twin Peaks?
I do not know what his real inner person is, but I guess it has always been legendary… - Comment on Cope 1 week ago:
Dude, I can even see it as a straight guy.
- Comment on Cope 1 week ago:
Does that conversely also mean that a woman with a beard does not need to wear a hijab?
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 2 weeks ago:
Wow, that is actually really cool!
So maybe I’ve seen you on TV 40 years ago, as I totally remember the human chain!
I think it was the first time I heard of “Neu-Ulm”, and since then the name has always been somehow connected with the helicopter images of the protests for me. - Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 2 weeks ago:
l also had Chernobyl in mind at first. It was a big thing, as it affected life as a kid in Europe directly.
But then I remembered all the news stories surrounding the Anti-Pershing protests.
These were in 1983, the year in which humanity perhaps was closest to complete annihilation ever.Yes, the 80s were wild.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
First: Some UK teachers exchanged the analogue with digital clocks. This was only to reduce interruptions by some students (during a specific kind of UK exams), who had trouble determining the remaining time in the heat of the exam battle.
Secondly: The use of analogue clocks is taught at UK schools. What’s missing is the practice that former generations of pupils had. No more wristwatches, public clocks all but gone, and (what I am nostalgically missing from my youth) no more peeking onto parked car’s dashboards to read the analogue clock there. Times have changed, and this specific partially lost ability is not the schools’ fault. (Not to say that other things aren’t…)
Can we please bury that stupid old meme, as it has been based on some inaccurate buzz and largely giving a completely inaccurate impression of the topic from the start…
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 3 weeks ago:
If this question isn’t fake, it shows how senselessly polarized pictures drawn by both sides have become.
- Comment on I'm in danger 4 weeks ago:
So right at this specific moment you are simultaneously doomed and salvaged.
- Comment on Traffic safety is vital 4 weeks ago:
That’s essentially a perfect anti-meme.
I love it! - Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 4 weeks ago:
Can confirm. Lemmy became a lot friendlier after I blocked the worst of the permanently outraged communities and a bunch of people with extreme views.
I try to limit that to the worst cases, though, as I don’t want to drive “bubblification” too much… - Comment on Beware!!! 4 weeks ago:
No, just part of the establishment. ;-)
- Comment on Beware!!! 5 weeks ago:
Funny thing is, this meme is so old by now, that “children” should be substituted by “parents”, as this is all completely ancient GenX/Millennial internet lingo…
- Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
No, just the standard Gboard on Android. It has build-in handwriting recognition which for some reasons I like better than the standard virtual keyboard.
And regarding the remaining typing errors: just take them as an indication that I’m very likely not an AI ;-)
The “slipt” was probably caused by a false-friends-like scenario based on the translated word in my mother tongue: “entschlüpft”.
Notice the added “t” at the end that denotes the past tense. - Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Not 100% identical scenario, but near enough:

See e.g. here.
The relevant part:
The second difference between each, every, and all impacts how the objects of a sentence are distributed among the members of the group. Look at this:
Each child wore a hat. → one hat per child
Every child wore a hat. → one hat per child
All the children wore a hat. → the children shared one hat
- Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Oh, you are right…
Sorry, handwriting recognition sometimes has its own mind.
An this error must have slipt my prove reading as it is just to well camouflaged… - Comment on Do it anyways! F R E E D O M ! ! ! 5 weeks ago:
But you are. Just buy yourself a Burger King. American kind of freedom…
- Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Coincidently I watched the X-Files episode a few weeks back.
I loved it!
It is one of their more dark comedy ones with some philosophical topics.
No “true wish” at the end, as far I remember, but a nice twist and imo quite satisfying ending. - Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Whatever it is that happens, it would be pretty violent.
“What If” had a slightly different, more localized but more concentrated premise it covered once:
Electron MoonQuote:
“This is, by far, the most destructive What-If scenario to date.” - Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 5 weeks ago:
As a guy taking the “Great Filter” hypothesis seriously, I would definitely switch the captions in the meme.
- Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Genie, looking up Wikipedia:
Aah, I understand. Nice wish, granted! - Comment on just one more bro 5 weeks ago:
Considering how intentionally malecious the side effects of typical genie-wishes tend to be, the extra electron probably comes to rest in the wishers hypophysis and causes a free radical that leads to a rare sort of cancer that prevents the wisher from falling asleep ever again, so he dies in madness scratching out his own eyes.
0r something similar along that line.
