I think of all superstitions as being a microcosmic form of fascism in a way, in that the mouthpiece of the supernatural is the one dictating the rules of right and wrong and what can transcend reality.

I joined after Reddit’s API changes with that site’s willful negligence of its bot infestation on my mind. If the bar for “this account looks like a human” is raised by human users individualizing themselves more, then that requires more effort on bot makers to disguise their bots as people. Accounts look less bot-like with personalities, particularly those which are neither stereotypically normal nor a caricature of a few base traits. With my “The Son of Man” profile picture, as well as my profile description that is all three of esoteric, farcical, and personal, I wanted to be just the right amount of weird while also subtly (and perhaps subconsciously) commentating on the potentiality of Lemmy eventually falling victim to bot plagues as it grows. Despite all of this, I’ve since come across another user with the same profile picture (with a different level of zoom) who also happened to have the same cake day.

There are a number of idioms that MythBusters tested, some of which were disproven and some of which were confirmed/plausible.

It is easy to punch out of a paper bag.

10 pounds of poop will not fit in a 5-pound bag.

People can easily recognize the backs of their own hands.

Taking candy from a baby is not as easy as it sounds.

People may literally get cold feet when they are scared/timid.

If poop hits a fan it can indeed create a large mess.

You can teach an old dog new tricks.

With an enormous amount of force, it is possible to literally knock someone’s socks off.

In a race, it is not literally better to hit the ground running.

You can polish poop.

Shooting fish in a barrel is fairly easy; the shock wave from a bullet can be enough to kill the fish.

A bull in a china shop will actively avoid hitting the shelves.

A rolling stone truly gathers no moss.

Finding a needle in a haystack is difficult, even with modern technology.

[EDIT: a couple of other idioms not in the idiom section of the link.

It is not possible to herd cats.

A goldfish’s memory is not limited to three seconds.

Ben Grimm from Earth-616 imo

No environmental collapse and global extinction

Commercial exploitation?

Somebody posted this exact same comic to this community just prior. I don’t think your title is a reference to a small edit that I’m missing? In any case, it might be best for everyone to glance through New on a community before posting non-OC.

I would think the underground ones that host content which is horribly abusive and illegal (in ways beyond merely piracy)

I am playing GTA V and have just swapped players to Trevor and I will continue playing as such

This is from the subreddit mods’ rules. I don’t see it necessarily implying OP to be in the wrong or in the right. It really just implies those damn corporate admins are at fault. OP could just want a platform which doesn’t censor a discussion on subject matter alone.

Your list is oldest at time of death (IRL), not earliest born. Ben Franklin is the earliest born on that list, and also the earliest born head in a jar according to the Infosphere and Fandom wikis.

The user you’re replying to has made 2 of the 19 posts currently on your home instance’s local front page, both of which are anti-science transphobia. They’re also the only user I’ve seen volunteering to mod the so-called United Leftists of Hilarious Chaos community. In another comment, I cataloged all of the posts currently on HC’s local front page. This is the crowd you run with on that instance.

Basic science < slightly more advanced science. I didn’t notice any of these sources mentioning chimeras or twins absorbed in the womb but they’re also relevant. Biological sex is physical and to my knowledge there’s no current technology that can, say, override the DNA of every cell in a body. Gender is abstract and therein flexible. Learn how to use a search engine and don’t be a bigot or obdurate. Also, I’d prefer if you stayed off of my Lemmy feed too.

Oh hey, you must be the one posting anti-science transphobia that another commenter on this post was talking about seeing.

This you:

“Liberals need to snap back to reality and drop the gender religion crap that cost them the election. Sex is binary and immutable. Trans women are men. Surgery and hormones won’t change that.”

The hypocrisy would be laughable if the cruelty wasn’t palpable.

It’s hosted on lemmy.dbzer0.com, which has defederated from your home instance HC. Your admin used an alt account (without immediately identifying themself as an alt of HC’s admin) to comment on that post.

In my earlier link, you can find dbzer0’s reasoning for defeding.

That all seems like a clear reaction to this post and the instance’s other admin’s embarrassing attempt to save face in the comments

Before y’all go joining HilariousChaos communities, you may want to consider what some large instances think of the host server

EDIT: Wayback Machine has an archive for this link and one of the snapshots does indeed resemble your screenshot. The video’s name was “Burger Andy gets left behind” by LivestreamFails.
