- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 day 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.

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. 1 week 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.

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 2 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? 4 weeks 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.

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.

Here’s a study from Oklahoma State University specifically talking about the effects of mainland cats in contrast to island cats:
“Our review shows overwhelming evidence that, beyond causing island extinctions, where there were no native predators, and massive numbers of mainland wildlife deaths, cats can exert multiple types of harmful impacts on mainland wildlife species that are reflected at the population level,”

Never underestimate the mechanical eyes.
- Comment on Meow 1 month ago:
True, but that article says that over 350 of their prey species are at risk species, and that several of those are suspected to already be extinct.
I love cats—I think most people should have them—just be responsible with your furry murderers.
- Comment on Meow 1 month ago:
It does. Travel to a 3rd world country and look at the difference. Dogs and cats everywhere due to no cultural expectation to keep them indoors or neuter them.
Here is an article better clarifying the effect of our cute little killing machines:

- Comment on Would you like to finance your hot chocolate with a loan set at 69% apr? 2 months ago:
I think you misunderstood me. A price disparity for the same item and insane financing schemes are both byproducts of capitalism, not byproducts of each other.
- Comment on Would you like to finance your hot chocolate with a loan set at 69% apr? 2 months ago:
What is displayed here is a price disparity for the same item. The top bar of the gif identifies this as a side effect of capitalism. The title is talking about insane financing schemes which are also perceived as a side effect of capitalism. That is how they are related, pretty sure OP is making a joke with the 69% reference. The whole mood says “capitalism bad”.

- Comment on If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything? 2 months ago:
Not true. In Japan you are often guilty until proven innocent—they can hold you for almost a month for an accusation alone.
