The same way everyone else does, I purchased all your private information from a data broker. Your mother is ashamed, but your sister says “how YOU doin’?”

Pornhub statistics show that was a lie.

But the original greentext isn’t a picture—only normies on other platforms than 4Chan end up with that format unless it is a fabricated one like this.
- Comment on Anon owns a fan 1 week ago:
This is the future we should be trying to build. A tiny tweak could make that text green, and then the prophecy would be fulfilled.
- Comment on Anon owns a fan 1 week ago:
Greentext is green, puts the reader in the shoes of the subject, and usually ends in a short line of non-green commentary. It isn’t a terribly hard concept to transfer somewhere else.
Rather than Frankenstein the past like a save icon, we could be finding ways to make quoted text green in this community on Lemmy, thus fulfilling the requirements.

Now this is podracing!
- Comment on Anon owns a fan 1 week ago:
Greentext definitely did exist on 4Chan before becoming a meme format, and even then, it only became a meme format because screenshots were an easy way to transfer the gold out of the sludge mines of 4Chan.
The idea of greentext is good, but photoshopping fake 4Chan screens is like digging up your dead grandma and puppeteering her corpse to prove that you definitely didn’t write a birthday card to yourself.
It’s time to start posting new greentext as text so people will screenshot Lemmy. Let the old bones of 4Chan rest until they may or may not be reincarnated by the admins.
- Comment on Anon owns a fan 1 week ago:
The idea that people are making fake greentext screen shots is both puzzling and embarrassing. If you have the idea, just post it as a normal comment somewhere else—forging 4Chan screens is the path of madness.
- Comment on We call people who want to regress conservative and not reactionary 1 week ago:
When you find yourself happy with the status quo, it is a good idea to look around your community and make sure that you aren’t just part of a privileged group.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
Since when is it forbidden? Who is gatekeeping the sports page?
And I think you see it in sports news because it reaches their demographic better—some WWE fans are too insecure in their masculinity to visit the arts and culture section, and I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that football and wrestling have a huge crossover demographic.
We have been living in a post truth world lately, and pretending that WWE is a sport is just another facet of it. Strap in, the nonsense is just getting started.
- Comment on Anon studies Buddhism 1 week ago:
Perhaps it depends on your definition of sacred. Life is the only mechanism that we know of by which the universe understands itself. If you ascribe to free will, life is the only mechanism able to change the course of events that were initiated by the Big Bang. If you don’t ascribe to free will, then it is the only mechanism able to witness the course of events that were initiated by the Big Bang.
That seems like something worth preserving in large, even if an individual life should be ended for compassion or justice. A life doesn’t have to be sacred, but Life seems pretty sacred to me.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy seems to have a pretty high number of non-native English speakers, particularly Germans and other Europeans. I think this leads to people making seemingly simple grammar mistakes while also appearing to know English well.
Plus, American schools have completely gone to shit, so I’m sure that doesn’t help either.

Yes mommy, lol.
- Comment on Anon knows an artist 3 weeks ago:
It’s a colloquialism, not a real threat of violence. It is similar to saying loose lips sink ships, but a more street oriented version.

If I was that kid, the lesson I would learn from that is to not tell anyone in the future.
- Comment on "LEDVANCE" is just a trademark. This is just a plain old fluorescent tube. 4 weeks ago:
But it doesn’t say LED, it says LEDVANCE. You are mad that you didn’t get horse from a jar that said horseradish.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 4 weeks ago:
Washroom promotes the incorrect assumption that people wash their hands. Any time spent in a public latrine will show this to be inaccurate.
Water closet, on the other hand, tells you exactly what to expect. Cramped, likely too dark or too bright, and riddled with moisture of both expected and occult origin.
Water closet is the way.

What’s up with Stake putting their ads on so many viral videos? It’s a good idea for advertising, but horrible for content reposting.
- Comment on Anon is lacking something metaphysical 5 weeks ago:
I have the opposite problem—I’m a strong impression making motherfucker. Strangers consistently approach me to say “you look like [insert famous person].” Acquaintances tell me “I never forgot you.”
And yet, nobody keeps in touch without a lot of effort on my part. I wish I knew how to transition my “I remember you” power into an “I want to be closer to you” power.

6 months ago I would have said it isn’t that bad, but now…just be careful out there, friend.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 1 month ago:
Making the mission be about taking down Reddit gives Reddit a lot of power and credit. Focusing on making an open future for social media creates a new path forward while treating Reddit like what it is—yesterday’s platform.
There will be people who want to stick with the old platform—just look at boomers and Facebook. That’s ok—if we play our cards right, we will be gaining young users while the older demographic shrinks on Reddit.

Not saying it’s right, saying it is what it is.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
That’s why it is primarily used by black people in America—the word was used against them and now they are setting the terms for its future use. Just because it makes some people uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean it is ok for a white person to try to control how it is used, just like it wasn’t ok for a white person to make it a slur against blacks. The word is under new management now.
And it sure does add a ring to rap songs.
