oldie meme but needed to bring this back due to recent incidents 😭
I'm convinced that most people don't read anything before sharing their opinion. An opinion with zero relevance or weight is absolutely useless.

Yeah but I preffer the pineapple before the pizza, that way the mass feels saltier.
So you hate pepperoni?!
DEADASS!!!
In my experience, this happens way less on Lemmy than on Reddit before the IPO.
i can’t speak to the frequency but the tone is definitely different when it happens here compared to on reddit, probably influenced by the demographic and field of interest differences. the ml roots of the place really have echoed throughout the tone of the space, so most of the arguments have a really cynical, high alert affect to them that i never really encountered on reddit. ymmv ofc.
So you admit that you're checking me out? And you wanna mate?
whut da hell
Oh sorry I was making a reference to Xavier: Renegade Angel, where Xavier somehow misinterprets the phrase "Checkmate" to be a proposition for sex, from a clone of himself. (One of those.. "Did I watch this at 3am one night or was that a fever dream?" shows)
bwahahaha good to clarify i would never have guessed that
TBF, I understand this annoying kind of 'reading into it'. at the same time, if someone starts dropping dogwhistles or starts dancing around something in a convo, i am definitely gonna read into that shit.
If you don't like waffles just say it...
Me when I talk to my wife...
you too? im sorry dude
Idk, she's super cool to me.
This is anywhere on the internet.
This is anywhere, period. You can do that with letters, you can do that with speeches, or in casual conversations.
And you're not always wrong about it either.
If you've played Disco Elysium, "Welcome to Revachol". If you haven't, play it. It's an amazing game
This is just text written anywhere. There's an art to making yourself understood in different contexts.
yeah :p bit of a hyperbolic statement my fault
Well, the original post was as well, so fair enough!
Me: "I like pancakes"
Lemmy: "Only a shitlib western imperialist would think that. Read more Lenin."
Me: “I like waffles”
Lemmy: “HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO MY LIFE WITHOUT PANCAKES YOU OPPRESSIVE INSENSITIVE FUCK”

What…. This is on par with any kind of internet discourse. It’s pretty much why I hardly ever post prior to Lemmy. It doesn’t matter how well articulated the post, SOMEONE will find the need to correct or clarify unnecessarily.

-"Umm, actually, the US were doing crimes in Syria and you should not support them."

Bravery is leaving both the ifunny and imgflip watermarks.
Prior to the US election, there were many people that did this exact thing- only it was “oh yeah? Well… you support genocide!”
They’re rarely here anymore. Which is what was predicted that typically warranted their response to begin with.
