Yes. I just made an account on lemmy.world for the sole purpose of avoiding them.
It'd be nice to not have to leave my main instance

Because that's exactly what it is. It's a way for the rich to force the policies they want while quelching any policies they don't.

I'll never understand how lobbying became a thing. It should have been shut down as anti democracy the second it was proposed

Nah I'm just gonna leave this instance and go to one where I don't see you pedantic pricks
Insane rule

So like it's a funny meme and all but it's not nsfw

In the meantime they piss and shit all over the seat because it's too gross to sit on then they don't clean it up because that would also be too gross.

Yes...that was their entire purpose to begin with..

But it also shows whether a comment is controversial or not.
Like if someone says some racist ass shit I'd rather see that more people dislike it than not.

So you're butthurt that people tried to make it a legitimate conversation?
Jesus Christ lemmy has some fuckin morons

Just because cyanide and happiness is doing depressing comic week doesn't mean everyone has to 😭

Because my roommates dumbass mother keeps waking me up after 5 hours of sleep and I'm too livid to fall back asleep

Maybe they should stop decommissioning nuclear power 🤷

What fucking comparison are you looking for?

The rest of the public has been manipulated by oil barons who constantly push these fear mongering talking points.
It is safer in every way.
You act like Homer Simpson is real and that's how nuclear power plants operate. In the modern age unless it's just gross incompetence it's been safer for decades.
Oh and if you want those safety regulations to ever get better you have to keep putting money into them. You're not gonna get progress by ignoring them.
In fact that's the only reason nuclear power isn't more prevalent because the average citizen is so blinded by oil propaganda they refuse anything to do with it.

That's why we call it "late stage" capitalism.

Because the environmental damage caused by the largest nuclear disasters in history is still nothing like the damage from fossil fuels.
Not just that but the fossil fuel industry's history is full of much worse disasters than any nuclear plant.
If you were to truly compare them based just off safety it's no contest. Nuclear power is cleaner and safer

No it's in the declaration of Independence

One of the presidents of the US did it regularly and he never got shot for it.
The kids only real crime was being too drunk to understand what was going on.

"Fuck me in the ass cause I love Jesus!"

When I first made the comment that started this whole chain the majority of the comments were calling people who act like that towards phone calls pathetic.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills?
Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.
They'll read it and despite all the information being there, if it's even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it's complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

How to unblock a community?
Exactly as title. I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a specific user and I'd like to unblock it but can't even find the list of my blocked communities.
Any assistance should be appreciated.

It's possible to lose your virginity before your biological parents with sperm donation and artificial insemination.

American media regularly censors the word ass but not the English word arse despite most Americans not knowing the difference is spelling not pronunciation.
Edit: I don't mean they sound the same I mean the word arse is pronounced how I figured British would pronounce ass with the drawn r rather than the way arse is pronounced (at least where I'm from) it's a hard r

How did so many languages end up with such similar alphabets?
Most European languages seems to share a very large amount of their respective alphabets. The pronunciation may be different but the symbol is the same.
Why?
