  • I was never big in most social medias except YouTube and Discord until recently where I have to be as im an adult and it’s expected for you to. It really made me realize Lemmy is WAY less toxic than others and it’s very rare online to have a meaningful conversation with someone.
    for example on Instagram there was a joke post by a pretty lady that said “my boyfriend just paid to get his tires rotated, doesn’t he know that his tires rotated every time he drives?”, obvious satire. but the comments were ALL insulting the lady calling her a bimbo and shit. Like genuinely people there won’t read a comment longer than 2 sentences.











  • uhh I don’t remember the full story but here’s what I know.
    There was a subreddit called r/195 from some people who lived together in an apartment or dorm in room 195. They would shitpost and it eventually caught on. After they shut down the sub for whatever reason people moved to r/196 to shitpost on instead.

    why there’s “onehundredandnindeysix” and “196” is because the moderators of the 196 Lemmy sub power tripped and tried to move to lemmy.world, so half the community split to another version and half stayed on the existing one (the mods cancelled the move to Lemmy.wirld)
    I personally use the “onehundredandnindeysix” one.

    (also sorry if typos or sthm, I’m on a weird Lemmy interface that’s confusing)


  • This was my first

    then the girl from Monsters Vs Aliens.

    one night I was in a discord call with some friends and they were playing smash or pass and APPARENTLY everyone else got turned on by the monsters or aliens and IM the weird one for not being into that??

    When I was surprised they made me take the BDSM test and I got 97% vanilla and 50% submissive. in retrospect this probably ties into my next point…

    I did not have a ‘crush’ for YEARS after that, IRL or in media. I still don’t think I feel it in the same way others do. I guess I would want to live in the same household with someone cute, but like that’s a far cry from what other people describe it as and I would much prefer to be the cute one.

    I cannot comprehend the concept of being horny and taking it out on others against their consent.
    Even if I were in a relationship I don’t think I would want to. Going to the bathroom for 15m would be easier than having to bother someone else, no?

    Literally last week my bloodwork results came back in and I like 1/2 the hormonal levels you’re supposed to have.
    AND I’m on antidepressants that lower my labido so I’m like borderline involuntarily asexual because I just have a really low sex drive.



  • I guess that makes sense but that seems so difficult to reach for a movement, can the meetings of EU leaders propose laws themselves or do they also have to get votes?

    In the US for something like StopKillingGames we have a local senior that we can call and yap to and (in theory) they’d listen to what their citizens have to say and start the process of making it a bill, when then would become a law after a couple rounds of approval and editing before being approved or vetoed by the president.
    There’s actually a children’s music video they played to all of us in school when we were young, it’s unironically a super good way to teach people about how it works, https://youtu.be/SZ8psP4S6BQ

    If you hear people in US politics say “call your senator” that’s who they’re calling, they have some power over bills that can be voted out I think.

    also, I’ll just add an asterisk to the whole paragraph as

    1. I’m not a lawyer, I just have a basic highschool education so far, I might be wrong

    2. the whole idea of a “justice system” and “laws” are kinda currently being thrown out the window?? i don’t really know what’s happening anymore.

    3. also presidents can propose bills or something and skip the senior section I think?

    anyways, it’s pretty interesting learning about how laws work over there. Seems so much more simple than ours :/


  • this sounds like the kinda thing that I (uneducated in this topic) would go “heh… yeah…” and upvote not understanding the joke

    then I open comments and it’s actually about tossing toddlers into a volcano and I am immediately sentenced with the guilt of upvoting a meme about child volcano sacrifice and I have to come to terms about how I am a horrible person who will blindly follow someones agenda because they were using big words and I am actually incredibly foolish and don’t deserve an opinion about anything ever

    or it’s just an extremely nerdy joke that nobody really understands but upvotes anyways
