Look, I came for an argument. This isn't an argument!

Actually we're all mutually participating in a satire thread! Fite me!

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the best argument, tremendous, irrefutable.

[–] Cfrolich@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s the worst argument because you’re in it!

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

There is no point in arguing about that

What is even happening in this gif

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 43 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Don’t feel bad for blocking the worst offenders. Lemmy is small enough for that option to work quite well. Which is the best you can do. Being ignored drives them crazy.

You motherfucker…

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Actually there's more than enough people on lemmy

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yep agreed. Everyone's views are different, and there is definitively going to be some opposition.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't mean to be memey, but personally I find the "hive mind" here to be way more homogeneous than on reddit. Unless you count different engineering fields as different viewpoints. There are way fewer creatives and trades here. And the engineery types like to pile on to any point of view that doesn't match their world view.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

You definitely do have to work harder to find more diverse viewpoints here. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. At least on mastodon you can specifically follow people who talk about things outside your realm of experience.

It's called "engagement", sweaty, deal with it

/s

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"Sweaty"? I believe you mean "sweety".

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

(That's part of the joke.)

(Unless you're also saying that to be a contrarian, then well played.)

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 28 points 3 months ago

Uhhhhh yes I absolutely meant that as a contrarian, I 100% am not seriously correcting you

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Look up "thebootydiaries tumblr sweaty" and give the images that come up a brief scroll. I'm not very creative so I'm just gonna tell you that we can do this all day.

(edit: I've realized you probably already know about this and I'm the one missing the joke but i saw a brief opportunity to contribute and took it so I'm not taking it down.)

Them and the weasels are the worst:

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

when I saw this I thought "what does this guy have against weasels??" before realising that this wasn't an anti-weasel comment

Thanks, I made it to respond to some persnickety dick cheese on here.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

my dude is in the End dimension

[–] Vuraniute@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

no he isn't he's just at a cliff !!!

Seconds away from getting absolutely yeeted by the Ender Dragon.

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.

Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because "all thieves deserve to die".

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 7 points 3 months ago

With statements like this there's almost always some context left out, but even in the best case this feels like cheering on the death penalty

[–] Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It's almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn't mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand

What's the origin of this photo? It looks really cool.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I think it is a free diver sitting on the edge of a blue hole.

"The world could be a better place"

NO IT COULDN'T!!

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you can sense the change in air pressure as several walls of NUH-UH are rapidly approaching your position to explain in excruciating detail why and how the point you made wasn't nearly as reasonable as you believed it had been. or just yell at you a lot >_>;

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

NUH-UH is lemmys catch phrase.

What about the exception-makers. They agree…sorta, but always have to carve out a little spot for them to be more right, or you wrong, in an often irrelevant way.

[–] Rev3rze@feddit.nl 8 points 3 months ago

Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I'm doing it right now, aren't I?

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

Where's your evidence? Not mine I'll just ghost the reply
