The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread
Lol, this Josh dude really thinks a week is Sunday-Sunday. So does that mean every Sunday is part of two different weeks?
Oh shit, more people join in. Does the dumb bodybuilder meme have a grain of truth?
Wow. That's Linus Torvalds levels of screaming, "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!"
People got really worked up back in 2008.
That is more of a frustrating thing imo, different senses of humor I suppose.
people genuinely stupid enough to believe nato is defensive in nature have never opened a history book outside of their compulsory schooling
In fairness, propagandists write books about history too. It is entirely possible for a person that isn’t very curious to pick up “normie” pop history stuff and think they are learning.
that is true, but frankly i'm willing to put money down on most people who hold patently incorrect beliefs like "nato is a defensive organization" simply being deeply incurious people who have never investigated anything that's not immediately relevant to their interests
That’s probably true, but also quite depressing given the prevalence of the deeply ignorant. Hopefully the average person is better than that.
Self-opinionated, aggressive and insulting
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you live in a house with no mirrors
i'm not sorry if my statements give offense when they're based in reality. want to be treated better? we already have a special tool for that, it's called "having correct opinions"
You should engage with the issue instead of tone policing others.
I tried, carefully. What got as a response was self opinionated, aggressive and full of insults.
then fuck off nerd
"I agree I haven't read any history either"
go ahead and defederate then, dumbass. nobody is benefitting from reading your stupid, obviously wrong takes
Death to America
Self-opinionated
what the fuck does that even mean? are you just typing shit? this is why people call you names
So when you have opinions and you express those opinions. Sounds like you're pretty self-opinionated about certain topics because you've chosen to snarkily quote the dictionary.
1 as in opinionated
so it's like "irregardless"
in other words, yes, you're just saying shit
Among the synonyms: dogmatic, stubborn.
I think that carries an overall appropriate meaning.
There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don't remember the details, though.
Most of the Wikipedia dramas are fantastic, pedantic and/or ideologically driven people fighting with other pedantic and/or ideologically driven people for pages after pages until some admin just unilaterally picks one side and locks the discussion
Reminder that the multiple governments have been caught mass editing Wikipedia.
I seem to remember the "feces" Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it's place.
Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don't realize it's satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
Nothing pisses off people like making fun of their treats, the memes aren't usually even that funny but the reactions are gold
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
I think some people could think it's not satire but that's because there is a rule saying "we are not satire". Guess what? That rule is satire too
Because:
-
They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs
-
They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me
-
They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939
-
Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)
-
Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits
-
They call their subreddit a "facebook group"
-
Oh my god I was going to post the same thread, but I instead highly recommend the mega64 reenactment of the bodybuilding forum fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqylqmDl0Mw
Will have to dig up a link to it, but the Silent Hill foreskin guy is a classic.
Amazing, gods strongest penis protector. A real “you’re not wrong Walter” moment.
I know lowtax was a moron but calling FYAD rational is really dumb
i dont have the links, the forums might not even exist anymore, but i remember a lot of d&d alignment arguments from the 00s that went on for days and garnered thousands of comments. no one changed their opinions and the comments were essay length because you HAD to (you didnt actually have to) always quote the previous post too.
good times
A little context must go into this one. For three years now, Wix has owned DeviantArt, having acquired it from its original managers. Wix then redesigned DeviantArt to have a more modern functionality, referred to as DeviantArt Eclipse. A part of this functionality is that people on DeviantArt are (supposed to be) notified whenever someone posts a work similar to their own on any website across the internet, even on the dark web, as an originality-based precaution. As a side note, I wouldn't say DeviantArt is doing the best it has ever done, but I wouldn't call it bad, but "pessimist culture" would disagree, and there are those who say the feature I mention is irreputable.
One day, a certain someone signed up for Wix and started putting art on there instead of DeviantArt. It should be noted that you can be banned from DeviantArt but not Wix. It's not usual, but I myself demonstrate this, probably because my "ban" was circumstantial and therefore intentionally made only partial (for this reason, look up my Lemmy username on DeviantArt, I'm not forgotten), but I'm only a second person here as far as Wix is concerned. Someone deep into this "pessimist culture" (I don't know what else to call it) then noticed and made a complaint accusing me of bypassing DeviantArt's detectors using their own parent website and nobody doing anything, even "with the premium service package". I kind of laughed at this, it would be like saying you committed a bank robbery by asking to speak to the manager and then asking him nicely for all the money in the bank. You kind of have to question the ownership at that point. Needless to say the fishiest thing was the accusers.
