Complains about f.word to account with shit in the name.

Yeah, they can go eat a fucking ameno... anenomy? ANEMONE!

[โ€“] Comment105@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Animememe I believe they're called.

And originally posted by knifemilf. Actually, I have no idea what that UI is telling me.

I speak Tumblr, let me translate:

Royalslimefather reblogged it from knifemilf, who reblogged it from someone else. The OP could be thousands of chain reblogs down, so it doesn't matter who. But if you go back far enough in that chain, you get to Marine biologist shitposts's response.

The way Tumblr works is like if Twitter had comment chains instead of quote-tweeting.

I have no idea what that UI is telling me.

That the people of tumblr (tumblers? Tumblrs? Daves and Debbies?) have some serious username skills ๐Ÿ˜

So, is Shit a common surname in the anglosphere?

[โ€“] SandLight@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know about as a whole, but the small town I'm from has at least one family of Shitheads on every block.

[โ€“] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

If people were still named after their professions, there's lots of people around who'd have that surname.

I think it would have been better with another f-word, but apparently they didn't give two fucks.

I airdropped this at school once when I had an iphone. Good times

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 1 week ago

They didn't give a single shit, either.

Calling it the F word while telling someone to grow up is such a bitch move.

[โ€“] sirico 69 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is a family comment section, my 6-month year old could have read that. Shut the fuck up, baby, Keith!

[โ€“] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This comment would have been a lot better if you didn't say the f word, grow up!

[โ€“] Hossenfeffer 65 points 1 week ago

Ordi needs to fucking grow the fuck up.

[โ€“] don@lemm.ee 36 points 1 week ago

Okay, Ordi, time to cut this childish shit out and be a fucking adult for once in your goddamn life.

[โ€“] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ordi probably is a person that bans books because it contains a part where two guys kiss

Too much fucking Flanders in the world. A historic word used since almost 600 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck

Ordi might be wrong in their approach to the correction, but our communications are, indeed, littered with words that are meant to emphasize something, but are instead so commonplace that they don't mean anything anymore.

Fucking. Literally. Really. Actually. Insane. Unbelievable. Bizarre. Big. You name it.

In an era of everyone constantly screaming on the Internet while sitting there on the couch with zero emotions, it would make sense to step down and revisit the way we approach the language - and our experiences when facing such content.

The joke would absolutely be better off without the word "fucking".

Nah, fuck that. It's an account with shit post in the name. They can use the fucking word without an analysis of contemporary communications.

Easy there, Maude.

Not only was the use of the word actually contextually appropriate for literally producing emphasis, it was also fucking funny.

Maybe the problem here is the bizarre attempt at pedantry while consuming a meme. Not just a meme, but a meme about a meme. Unbelievable failure.
