Egyptian here, can confirm

Am I the only one who never realized how dead inside the lady looks in the first slide?

Oh shit my bad, it’s just X Always links to XVideos so I thought it was the same thing.

This X naming scheme is pretty cool, I like the consistency, X, XVideos, XBox, not very creative but very recognizable

What’s Twitter?

All I know is XVideos, that thing Musk owns

Lemmy user encounters humor, 2024, colorized

I’m not familiar with how voting works in America but like…

Can you vote? I mean it thinks you’re not a person, can non-people vote?

As an Egyptian, I’ve had to constantly talk back against multiple people with the usual “all middle eastern countries are iran” bullshit, I thought I’d escaped it when I left reddit, but nope, apparently in Egypt Hijab is forced by law, I just didn’t know Egyptian law and needed a European redditor lemming(?) to give us all a white-savioresque lecture on it.

Many people don’t know this (surprisingly), but reddit is racist as fuck, like one of the most racist platforms I’ve ever been on, it’s really well cloaked racism (usually, r/Europe and r/Worldnews are openly racist) , but it’s everywhere, and OH GOD the white Savior Complex so many redditors have is infuriating.

But hey, at least on lemmy I can correct it, on reddit I’d be swarmed by westerners who think they know more about my country than I, a person living there, do, and will proceed to tell me I’m very wrong.

They push this so far, I’ve had them lecture me, someone FROM GIZA, on the “correct” position of the pyramids.

Yeah, on reddit, if you’re not the mainstream reddit opinion you have to hide in an echo chamber, if you are the mainstream, then most of the platform is one giant echo chamber.

It doesn’t help that they’re all exceptionally rude and confrontational

The delta has lots of rail, and since the distances aren’t that long and Egypt doesn’t really have money to spare I guess using the normal rail there is fine.

The thing I love about lemmy is instead of neoliberals and weird racists silencing Leftists like reddit, it’s Leftists and Social democrats constantly at each other’s throats.

The latter is much more amusing

This one confuses me, what’s the basis for this being a slur? It’s based in ideology, not race (given that it was invented by cubans for use on other cubans) or sexuality.

That would make Tankie a slur too, wouldn’t it?

No I’m talking about the event Dikeç participated in specifically

I believe the Serbs did indeed have the cool gear, not as cool as the Koreans though from the photos I’ve seen

The Serbians actually won gold not the Koreans

I hate that I’m doing this but the history need within me can’t let this one be

It’s the republic not the empire

Sorry I’ll leave now

So do human penises.

That’s why they’re mushroom shaped

I believe Dikeç actually scored the highest.

It was a team event though

I can’t remember the exact number but it was like:

1- Dikeç

2- Mikec (The Serbian guy)

3- Arunovic (the Serbian lady)

4- Tarhan (The turkish lady)

But the points are totaled so I guess the Serbians scored higher combined

“along a very narrow band of the earth, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.”

Uhh, I wouldn’t consider that very narrow, especially given that it’s 36% of Earth’s landmass and a third of all people live in it

This isn’t me being misogynistic but had his teammate done better they’d have won gold, she brought the score down, he actually shot better than both of the winners.

This is not to say she wasn’t qualified for this, in fact I believe her previous track record is better than his

This happened to me for a Pro palestine comment.

Today they accidentally unbanned me because they can’t even run their platform properly.

My account has an “suspension appeal rejected” message and is still running, fucking hell

They didn’t even say anything, the account Is just suddenly not banned anymore

To be fair it’s an oil themed water park so tar seems logical
