Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the stupidest thing you’ve heard someone say that they were 100% serious about?

[–] 65gmexl3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

yun "lion" daw si 88M kahit di attend debate

My dad once told me when I was young na pag naholdap ka raw sabihin mo "Hindi tayo talo" at guaranteed na papabayaan ka. I'm glad I was never in that situation malamang na-gripuhan ako.

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I kind of see where your father got it from. Honor among thieves, that kind of thing--that doesn't make it any less stupid tho. Besides, kahit na makumbinsi mo yung holdaper mo na pareho lang kayo ng "line of work", di yun garantiya na di ka nya papatuisin.

But speaking from personal experience, kung kung nakatira ka sa lugar na maraming snatchers, for example, malamang markado ka na as a local, and they generally leave you alone. Tipong "Oi! Yang si Megane, taga looban yan, mabait nanay nyan! Wag nyong papatusin yan ah!" Lol!

I remember a guy stating that duterte not disclosing his SALNs was a 4d chess move to force congress to make a law making filing your SALNs mandatory.

in comes to health madami eh,

  • "hindi namamatay ang coronavirus kahit sa alcohol, heat, soap"
  • "coronavirus ay hindi sipon lang"(actually pde ka magkasipon lang tlga gawa ng coronavirus, I'm not talking about being asymptomatic, I'm talking about actually contracting cold due to coronavirus)
  • "tinatawag na coronavirus ang COVID-19"(bruh SARS and MERS left the chat)
  • "treating vitamins and minerals as a cure"(sinisipon ka? inom ka lemon mataas sa vitamin c yan!)
  • "Ang immune system ay nasa tiyan kaya dapat kumain ka ng kumain"(they treat lamina propria as the immune god, actually hindi tumitigil ang immune response sa tyan at dahil dito mas tone down ang immune system dito, kasi kung hindi chronic inflammation ang aabutin nito so mas mahina ang immune system sa tyan kesa sa for example sa balat pag nasugatan ka kaya nga may gut bacteria eh makakasurvive ba yon kung sobrang lakas ng immune system sa tyan)
  • "treating common cold during flu season as allergy"(flu season nga eh viruses ang talamak, hindi allergens)
  • "antibiotic for viral infection"(antivirals left the chat)
  • "mas maasim mas marami vitamin c"(this misinfo is even taught to elementary schools, 5 calamansi for making calamansi drink > 1 lemon for making lemonade)
  • "pag mataba mas malusog"(fattier the better, actually mas bad kasi fat cells are easily stimulated to produce inflammatory cytokines)
  • "underestimating immune system"(Immune system can kill you in 15 minutes if it turn against you, ebola can kill you in 6 days)

Interesting road junction that I found on Google Streetview. Behind the camera (east) is Cagayan, to the left (south) is Kalinga, and to the right (north) is Apayao.

Ang mahal na ng sine ngayon, halos 400 na? Yeesh.

[–] yeontura@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Siguro kailangang bumawi sa mga lugi noong pandemya.

Pero mas mabuti na rin ito para hindi na mag-sine nang mag-isa, dahil mga bading lang daw ang gumagawa noon.

Tang-ina mo pa rin Aldrin.

Sa Recto ba nanoonod yung nagsabi sa iyo nito? Bakit nya alam?β€Œ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[–] yeontura@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hindi sa akin sinabi yan ah, sabi lang yan ni Aldrin sa isang Redditor noong December 2017

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For some reason, this chain of transmission (of information) made me laugh. Ang fishy na ewan.

Also, yeah, I've had experienced na may tumabi sa akin nung nanood akong mag-isa ng sine (this was mid 2000's, circa 2004~2006)--sa may Cubao. I was so innocent back then, lol! They generally wouldn't mind if you tell them you're not into that kind of thing, I think?

Why do I feel like I'm incriminating myself telling this story? HAHAHAHAHAH!

Me spending PHP600+ on a Large Format or IMAX cinema:

Of course, depende sa movie kung ginawa gamit large format o IMAX camera. Kung hindi naka-IMAX o large format, panoorin na lang sa regular 2D.

And been watching movies in theater alone since 2017. Sometimes ako o 2-3 audiences sa loob. Around February this year after watching Babylon, may couple na naguusap na sana ganito palagi para walang sagabal, at tatlo lang kami nun. That movie was exhausting and exciting at the same time, three hours well spent.

Sana dumami na bukas kasi may hot take ako tungkol kay Rendon Labador, already forming arguments in the hindsight, HAHAHA but still do it otherwise, I'll also make it a post not a comment here on RD

[–] Vicks_inhaler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

subscribe to Dr. B for chismis

[–] Henry@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

uhm... if recent confidential issue being exposed to public is what you're subscribing to about Rendon, sorry to disappoint you but that is not what I'll gonna do tomorrow rather I'll make a discussion that curtails to Rendon's old statement and challenge the popular opinions that surrounds it, I'll view his statements that made him popular that is rebuke by myriads of netizens in another limelight and I will argue why that statement of his is actually a sound advice

Since bukas na ata yung effect sa reddit API I expect my post to be much engaged and am ready to be reproached and to refute but still post it kahit di ganoon karami madagdag na phlemmings

Just found out about YouTube's plan to disable video playback for viewers who are using ad blockers.

From the article:

The company has confirmed to The Verge that it’s currently running β€œa small experiment globally that urges viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium.”

The statement comes after some people began noticing a new prompt warning that video playback could be cut off if YouTube detects repeated use of ad blocking tools. Android Authority earlier reported on those tests, which prevent viewers from watching more than three videos when an ad blocker is active.

I'm pretty much concerned about how it'd affect people who use ReVanced. With Manifest V3 crippling adblocker capabilities, Google going after entities such as Invidious and Vanced (I thinkβ€Œ ReVanced is next, if not already being attacked), I think Google's drive to make their primary business: advertising, unblockable is getting very serious.

I could probably start watching YT a lot less, do something productive with my time. At the same time, I just feel irritated enough that want to watch YT in any other way other than Google's way.

Help ya girl out pls! What happens if you send an ultra long text to an Android phone? On iPhone, it gets converted to an MMS I think? Basically the first few lines are displayed then ends with β€œβ€¦β€ then you have to click on the text so it would lead to the whole message in like another page. Is that what happens to Android phones too? As far as I know hindi rin ganun kabago phone niya. Pls help kailangan ko ng closure with the knowledge na nabasa β€˜yun lahat haha

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tried this about 20mins ago sa Android. Until now hindi pa rin dumadating sa recipient, lol.

[–] secrethehehe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nagpa-try ako sa isang friend with a Samsung, dumating naman! Di ko sure if dahil bonggang Samsung ang phone niya hahaha. But thank you!

in a few hours, mawawala na rin ang boost for reddit. the official app is stupid at yun lang ung pinaka ok na alternative. it made me learn more about reddit and helped me stumble upon the RDs that became a safe haven during the pandemic. i also learned about the old legends from other subs, and that recent ph history thread only proved that there was a thriving community in that site. sad to see a lot of redditors leave (and/or limit their usage). taena kasi ni spez eh haha napasenti tuloy ng wala sa oras bwiset dhjdjd

Meanwhile, in Cordon, Isabela, this sign feels ominous and threatening to me. Like are you taking me to a mysterious place that doesn't exist?

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Normalize labeling the Philippines as the reason for Filipinos' deteriorating mental health.

Real bruh πŸ₯΄

[–] monknonoke@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ano na nangyari kay Jerboa, keeps crashing on mine πŸ˜” minsan ko na nga lang feel magreply ayaw pa

Pero grabe talaga sabi ko di ako sasama ng team building. Ang nangyari: tumulong pa ako magluto. Sabi ko din hindi ako iinom pero mukhang magddonate pa ako ng isang bote ng tequila just because.

I don't know. Kainin ko na lang lahat ng sinabi ko πŸ˜†

I do find it helpful to join these kinds of events, it's a chance to try to get along with people. May pa-games dyan and I need to win something for the cash prize 😀😀😀

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa has problems running lemmy.world since they have yet to upgrade to the new Lemmy version. I recommend using a different app for now, like Liftoff.
