Well, what I want to know is, who TF is downvoting The Onion?!?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe people who don't like "wait for it", "read the whole thing", or "watch to the end".

Don't tell me to do it, tell me why I should do it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was a good suggesting considering, IMO, a lot of Onion headlines are the whole joke and the article just expands on it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

People are probably downvoting it because I posted it. 🙄

Some very pathetic person goes through my history regularly and downvotes everything.

Well I see you post regularly, and am always grateful for the white-hot memes, shitpost, and factoids! Ty you flying horror. Seriously though squids are gross.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

You're welcome and we are not!

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Probably a squid that’s very jealous about your flying ability

Gliding Squid is a vindictive person

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Makes sense. Water-based assholes.

On reddit I used to downvote a popular poster because they were dominating the space. Not sure that was the right thing to do but don't take it personal, just keep on doing your thing.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't take it personally, I think whoever is doing it is very silly.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Silly?!
