Nice! I didn’t see it. Wish I had 🙂

President Donald Juan Trump apparently.

At least it didn’t make her a malignant narcissist fascist dictator.

Ask your Dad about that timeshare he got suckered in in the 80’s, for a comeback.

The cheesy Karen fake nails somehow also sum up 2025 perfectly.

Why aren’t they rioting?
Why don’t you lead the way?
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but when you ask why people aren’t revolting, you should realize that you’re sitting at home behind your computer doing the exact same thing right now: a big fat nothing.
- Comment on Belief 6 days ago:
Society’s goodness is the average of all the individuals’ goodness that compose it. If society is bad, that means a majority of the people are bad, and some are a lot worse than the minority who are better than the average. It’s not a good outlook.

Funny, the thing I believe less and less in as I age is human goodness. Must be a generational thing.
Also, gravity seems to be increasing every morning.
- Comment on Why tonsils grow most at center of body instead of even? 1 week ago:
Nails - toe or finger - grow depending several factors. One of them is the shape and direction of the nailbed: if it’s very curvy, you’ll get more rounded nails (and at the extreme end, ingrowing nails). if it points to a particular direction, the nail will tend to grow following that direction. Think of it as a pasta extruder: the shape of the pasta and the direction it takes when exiting the extruder depends on the hole’s geometry.
Of course, the shape of the bone underneath also guides them this or that way. Nails don’t grow in a vacuum: they’re attached to the digit underneath for most of their length.
After that, nails will shrink depending on how dry the environment is around them. That changes their shape also.

I wish I even understood the question.
- Comment on Which of frankincense and myhrr is more pricey? What even are they, respectively? 1 week ago:
I only answered your question about what they are. I have no idea how much they’re worth. Probably too much if you don’t live in the middle-east, as you’d have to import that stuff I guess.
- Comment on Which of frankincense and myhrr is more pricey? What even are they, respectively? 1 week ago:
Frankincense and myrrh are incenses you would burn in your house if you want to pollute your air with micro-particles and make your house smell like a middle-eastern souk.

Off you go on my ignore list.
God you’re annoying… - Comment on I dunno 5 weeks ago:
As most memes are.

5 isn’t a valid function name, is obviously the right answer.

I’ve never understood how it can even be legal for hospitals to have parking fees for patients. It’s not like you became ill simply to take advantage of the parking situation so why are they charging people?
In the case of my local hospital, they do it because there are apartment complexes nearby and the residents used to abuse the hospital’s parking spot when they couldn’t find a spot in their residence.
- Comment on Silly goose 1 month ago:
Yes, nothing like coming out of a rough week alone in isolation in a hospital room, with friends and family not allowed to enter the room, and finding out the system sometimes makes small allowances for kindness and common sense. It sure felt great.
Small things like that give me back hope in humanity. Too bad they’re few and far between.
- Comment on Silly goose 1 month ago:
I went to the ER the other day. I drove myself to the hospital, parked at the short-term car park right next to the ER (I was trying to make a beeline there, I really wasn’t concerned about where I parked). I expected to out within 2 or 3 hours but the hospital ended up keeping me for a week.
When I came out, I expected my car to be impounded, or at least covered in parking tickets. But no: there was only one with a warning and nothing to pay.
When I checked the case number on the ticket on the city’s parking fine webpage, the comment indicated “Driver reported hospitalized - fine waived.”
They actually checked with the hospital. Nice!
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 1 month ago:
Reddit, like Facebook, has the advantage of inertia: most people are on Reddit, so other people patronize Reddit, making Reddit even larger. And just like Facebook, it takes something particularly egregious from Reddit to get enough people to walk out at the same time. And you’re correct: Reddit has learned to slow-boil the frogs to avoid this.
But - maybe I’m naive - I’m banking of the Fediverse offering consistently better quality and less drama than Reddit to slowly attract people who want something better, and I’m trying to do my part to increase the S/N ratio on here.
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 1 month ago:
I think it’s waiting for some new event that will drive a lot of people away from Reddit again to achieve critical mass and finally outgrow Reddit. In the meantime, I’m trying to keep my little corner of Lemmy alive - my dinky little special-interest communities - so that those who don’t want to partake in the big Reddit equivalent know they have an alternative on here that’s not stale.

Here’s my suggestion: find someone you won’t have to change the diapers of by the time you start needing reading glasses yourself.
- Comment on Liz Truss: "There are lots of people in Britain who are cheering President Trump on and want him to sue the BBC" 1 month ago:
You’d think a failure the size of Liz Truss would have the good sense to shut her trap forever about anything. But no: like all politicians, she feels no shame and keeps giving her opinion, as if she had any credibility left and it mattered.
This sort of utter shamelessness is truly what separates politicos from decent human beings.
- Comment on Trump suggests Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis was a cover-up 1 month ago:
He underwent a cognitive test - which he aced.
So his doctors decided to make him take another one in the same year - which he aced too.
So his doctors decided to run him through the MRI machine - which he aced of course.Because as we all know, when your medical tests come out a-okay, your doctors always make you take more test - probably to marvel at how a-okay all your tests are, no doubt…
- Comment on Trump suggests Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis was a cover-up 1 month ago:
I wonder which of Trump’s strong paedophilia suspicions or Trump’s strong dementia suspicions are a cover-up for the other.

Most Americans aren’t on board with this shit
They’re obviously onboard with different shit, else Trump wouldn’t be president. Twice.
As shit goes, I preferred the old-timey one. At least it was dignified.
- Comment on Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis. 1 month ago:
I don’t necessarily disagree - hence my adding “deserved or not”, if you re-read what I wrote.
But regardless of what you think, it had that reputation.And it doesn’t no more.
- Comment on Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis. 1 month ago:
I’m old enough to remember the United States as a country that won a World War, won a Cold War, went to the moon, and had a reputation - deserved or not - as a shining beacon of freedom and democracy. Respected or feared by the entire world.
Now it’s a country run by a paedophile fascist with dementia, elected twice by an equally mentally feeble populace - causing consternation and concern around the world.
Americans should be ashamed of themselves. But of course they aren’t because they’re not actually capable of feeling shame.
