Yeah, everyone. Listen up - we need to mark every joke so that everyone can laugh. Remember: the best jokes are the ones we have to explain.

Agreed. We’re partially awake.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 2 days ago:
At the moment, I see this as the only real answer. Until there’s proper organization and resistance, everything is lip service.
Mobilization is easy - the protests and marches get people together in solidarity. But organization takes effort: it takes talking to people, getting numbers/contact info, making plans and deciding what’s next…

“mOsT aMeRiCaNs…”
Blah, blah, blah. If you can tell me how to un-fuck this nation in a way that will actually wake people up, I’m all ears. But the way I see it, these things were insidiously marketed to the whole country slowly and incrementally, like frog in a slowly warming pot of water. Those of us who jumped out of the pot are watching in horror as the rest get boiled alive.
The problem is, frogs don’t have opposable thumbs and we can’t turn the gas off - so the pot keeps boiling.

Fuck this BS.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 6 days ago:
Same. My TV is capable of it, but I stream everything off of Jellyfin to a RasPi 5 running Kodi. It just plays. As long as it’s not 480p, I’m happy.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 6 days ago:
I can’t stand watching things in 4k. It looks so fake to me.
- Comment on [US] How are so many people able to protest? (Logistically) 6 days ago:
Sacrifice.
If you can’t see past your nose, protesting seems crazy. But to do so means sacrifice. Risking your job, your home, your well-being, whatever, because you know that the risk of losing these things could yield something better if the collective actions of you and your comrades create change.
Lose now to gain later.

Real heroism.
- Comment on Ugh... I forgot to pack a towel 1 week ago:
Classically “Showerthoughts” were more along the lines of the Philosoraptor meme topics. I even found one that both fits this description and the literal comm name. However, people in this comm tend to take the concept super literally. Incidentally, a trend that seems to pervade most humor these days, too.
- Comment on Ugh... I forgot to pack a towel 1 week ago:
I don’t think 90% of the people who post on this comm have any idea how Showerthoughts works.

Corvids.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 1 week ago:
You know how like some stuff is goodbad but people like it because it’s not awful? Like, when it’s not made with minimal effort and it seems like someone actually tried write believable dialog.
What are goodbad movies like that movies like that but good.
- Comment on Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users 1 week ago:
Oh, yeah. That $3.07 settlement covers the damages with a little to spare. Now I can put a down-payment on some French fries.
- Comment on Fixed that for you 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. It’s a struggle to climb up, but an easy tumble to the bottom. Becoming homeless is not difficult when you aren’t making millions on interest.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 2 weeks ago:
Mama always said, “If you can’t count to two, you’ll never do.”
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 2 weeks ago:
If you have a Viet restaurant that serves things other than phó and noodles, check out a dish called “Bánh mì bo kho” - it’s a spicy beef curry dish, chunks of meat, onions, potatoes and broth that comes with the bánh mì baguette to dip.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 2 weeks ago:
That’s two words.

I was expecting the Orwellian kind.

- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 5 weeks ago:
Yet,people are down voting me because of the feels.
It’s not like the lid seals the toilet hermetically. There’s a massive gap.
