These days, the only people still using this debunked wolf talk are douchebros, chuds, & incels.

Yep. The only way to make progress on that front is to serve Putin some polonium tea…

Barista working a Karen convention.

Lemmy, and occasionally getting actual work done.

Having multi-communities, akin to multireddits, would be handy.

IIRC, he played Hades in Hercules (the Disney movie). Basically method-acting.

I say we indulge Elon’s plans to go to Mars.

After all, if you want Elon to go away, how much further away could he physically go?

They scream about it, but MRNA tech & the other advancements involved enabled us to get from zero-to-vaccine in record time, and I’m convinced that because of that, my 84yo mother with COPD is still here!

They call it conspiracy, I call that victory!

I still wonder if artificial sweeteners mess with metabolism, say by training people to ignore satiety signals, which would be why we saw that study a few days back saying artificial sweeteners are associated with weight gain.

Yep, the Daily Fail. Fucking Murdoch rag.

Exactly. Thus the spelling & grammar errors, the obviously far-fetched story. They want the people who don’t raise red flags when they see that nonsense.

They’re filtering for stupid.

I thought at first that’s what this was - one of those stupid Jesus tracts that look like a $20, because apparently, SaViNg YoUr SoUl Is ThE bEsT tIp Of AlL!1!

Lobbyists engineering bills in Congress to prohibit this and throw people in prison for it through additions to the DMCA in 3…2…1…

Yep, found that out a few years ago. Now I start tying my shoes with right-over-left, so I’m doing a square knot bow instead of a granny.

Right-over-left for the starting knot, then the classic rabbit-round-the-tree for the finishing bow (which is left-over-right for me), for the win!

Welp, I look at Instagram maybe once a year, so there’s not much on mine.

Or for really old-school nerds, Max Headroom. There were the Zik Zak “Blipvert” ads that were hyper-accelerated until they literally made people’s heads explode (like in Scanners).

Where’s that pic of a steering wheel labeled “FRONT TOWARD ENEMY”?

ReVanced now does not distribute any code from Google or Youtube - it just patches the APK you provide.

I like it! Sure, some rough edges, and a bit of technical difficulties due to the influx of Reddit refugees like me, but this seems like a much friendlier, more real community.

IIRC from reading about Bluesky, its strategy for dealing with spam, trolls, hate speech, etc., was to have various servers in the Federation tag posts, users & servers with a “Spam” tag or “Hate speech” tag, and server admins can set their servers to not display posts so tagged, and to not pass them on to other servers.
