Everyone knows a chicken’s personality is stored in the thighs.

It’s named after a song. I think the main character might briefly say he dreams about going there. Obviously you haven’t seen it, but there’s really no need to get offended.
By the way, I highly recommend watching it for everyone else, especially if you’re a fan of Terry Gilliam. Not you though, guy I’m replying to. You should stick to less challenging topics to avoid hurting your own feelings.

It’s a dystopian movie. It has literally nothing to do with the country.

Are you thinking of the film or the country?
The film has a large overbearing surveillance state / bureaucracy as the chief antagonist, it’s about the suppression of art and loss of human connection. Do you see it differently?

Kids are dumb

Nah, I can see it.
- 1984: they’re rewriting history / propagandizing
- Idiocracy: the morons are in charge
- Hunger Games: they’re pitting us against each other
- Brave New World: they’re distracting us with entertainment
The others seem to fall pretty well into those categories.

“Here’s what my talking parrot thinks about this issue”. Great input, if I wanted to talk to a chatbot I’d do that. This isn’t a conversation, it’s meaningless noise regurgitated by a machine.

Yeah, “early fascist” and “proto-fascist” mean the same thing.

Alright who knows how to set up a lemmy group chat? Is that a thing? Can’t have homies without a group chat.

I’ll be your homie, bro.

You just screenshot it and then paste as image!

Could have been worse, “gashole” doesn’t have the same ring.

I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

Also I am a quail and at only 20g I am too light to trigger the keys on the keyboard.

Yeah, caves seem pretty awesome to live in honestly. Compared to outside.

Maybe they’re conflating the word cavemen with neanderthals.

He said (I paraphrase) that he did it because he liked the way it looked, and sometimes because it was funny. I suspect that’s why so many other people like his art too. It looks neat and sometimes makes you laugh.

Does one need feet to kick?

Am I doing it right?


Suggestion to make comments more compact


The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.
The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).
The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).

I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

My bird viewing a birb meme


I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, here’s a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
