- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
If you mean “is it full of bougie shitlibs having a circle jerk” then yes, in that vein, it’s just like reddit.
- Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell? 2 months ago:
In The Prophecy (1995), Christopher Walken played a corrupted Gabriel who is jealous of humans because God stopped talking to him (?). Viggo Mortensen plays Satan, not exactly sympathetically, but not too unrelatable. Constantine (2005) had a similar sub-plot With Tilda Swinton playing a jealous Gabriel, and of course Neo as Constantine.
- Comment on why do I sweat so much more on leg day at the gym? 2 months ago:
I’m not an expert, but I was thinking it probably has to do with muscle memory. If you’re only doing “leg day” one day a week/month, then your body isn’t used to it, so it feels harder to do.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 3 months ago:
Gen-Xer here, and I used to hate those furry-tailed rats. In one of my old apartments, one lived in the eaves of my building near my window and used to wake me up chewing on shit all the time. I’ve worked 2nd and 3rd shift jobs most of my adult life, and have found it hard enough to get other humans to respect my sleep time, let alone some rabid rodents that everyone else thinks are cute. I’m pretty much indifferent to them now, not being a property owner, but I can definitely understand why people hate them.
There used to be a clip on Fu Kung (remember that?) where a dude set up a trap on his back porch with a basket and some bungie cords, and when the squirrel took the bait, the guy cut the tether and flings the unsuspecting little bugger like 30 or 40 yards.
- Comment on Is Asmongold an alt-right "entrypoint" influencer? 4 months ago:
I don’t believe he gives much of a shit either way about politics. I think he reacts which ever way he thinks the wind is blowing in order to get more clicks, and thereby, get more money. The only thing I ever saw him get passionate about was when he was going apeshit over Chinese bot-farmers in WoW. I figure Blizzard must have paid him a huge wad to shut him up, because I hardly see him comment on gaming anymore, but I hardly watch him anymore either because he’s just too annoying.
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 5 months ago:
The two-party system is a fucking joke. Voting for Rethuglicans is fascist bootlicking. Voting for Democrats is just rainbow-colored fascism. Both sides just virtue signal to their base about identity politics, but change nothing fundamentally that will anger the true masters: the oligarchs who really run shit.
- Comment on If you had a drain that you knew was clogged only with hair, could you unclog the drain only using Nair? 5 months ago:
At my apartments they have it in the lease that we are not allowed to use Drano, becase our pipes are pvc. I use a coathanger that I’ve put a little hook on with pliers. My gf has long hair, and sheds like a goddam collie.

Laptop? How quaint. But my implant that connects me to the Musk Hivemind can project a laptop into my visual cortex to approximate a laptop, though in 2054 the most popular interface is similar to the dildocycle that Mr. Garrison invented on episode 76 of South Park.
- Comment on If you've been fooled, does that make you "a fool"? 8 months ago:
This was Dubyah trying to quote the old saying that starts “fool me once, shame on you…”. I used to think HE was dumb, now we have people in office that make him look like a Rhodes Scholar.
- Comment on And this is why I no longer have cable. 1 year ago:
Worse, Hulu advertises the fucking show I’m currently watching.
- Comment on a classic issue... 1 year ago:
Shit, that’s hillarious. I could see someone doing a whole YT channel of sober me vs. drunk me arguements. Way better than “WaTcH tHiS (insert demograhic) pErSoN lIsTeN tO Led Zeppelin FoR tHe FiRsT TiMe”.
- Comment on a classic issue... 1 year ago:
Good thing too; the peppermint patty market is so oversaturated no one will ever guess what brand it is.

Do you know how much garlic bread I can make for $5. A bunch, and fucking good too!
- Comment on Reddit is a shithole 1 year ago:
The lowest dollar amount on Jeopardy! is $200 now and Alex Trebek has been dead since 2020, but yeah, I think so. Have an updoot.
- Comment on Reddit is a shithole 1 year ago:
Like n-word moments from The Boondocks, but on the internet. Far less chance of being shot, but definitely not zero.
- Comment on Reddit is a shithole 1 year ago:
In an art appreciation sub (I think it was r/museum) some jackhole said they liked a Van Gogh painting because “it had colors resembling the Ukrainian flag”. I caught a third strike for saying “Fuck Ukraine”. When I explained to the mod that it was because i was sick of political bullshit creeping into everything, and the painting in question was painted 100 years before Ukraine was even a country, he rescinded the ban, but it didn’t matter, it was my third strike on Reddit. I even got a cute little hammer emoji. Yeah, fuck Reddit.
