I have this in my area, which was weird coming from actual big cities with way more dense traffic.

It’s like the courtesy from the shared misery of, “We’re all in this shit together” never got a chance. Instead people here seemingly never evolved beyond the “If I tailgate this one car, the 100 in front will disappear” phase.

When you’re overtaking someone going slow, but they speed up next to you, so you’re stuck now and will miss the exit. Just pretend they were probably lonely and just needed someone next to them for a while.

At least they got the rest right. Earth, the scale, it’s all there.

I love English food. All of the British Isles do pub food to die for, especially in colder weather.

Yes, but horseshoes invented the theory

And don’t forget to praise laissez-faire. But fuck with them by blaming capitalism for ruining it. But fuck them more by comparing it to how Lennin killed Marxism.

Aye. I also pack raft and nothing nicer than floating down some class 1 rapids with feet up drinking a beer. Then spot a nice pull in point, “I think I’ll camp here tonight.”

When I was younger, I had my Boomer in-laws decide that I would drive because I had drunk the least—I had drunk plenty. And this just seemed like something normal and I’d just nonchalantly say, “Oh, that makes sense. That’s smart.”

They were upset that I wouldn’t, insisted they would, and got more upset that I ordered a cab.

Fortunately, after they realised they’d lost, they sided with the idea being really stupid and irresponsible, but I think that’s just because they got morally caught out by a 22-year old.

Does your brain also say it with the same voice as “Reticulating Splines” from SimCity?

I always remember the ‘pp’ by imagining it as some suburban estate. “Philip Pines”

Just ignore the labels. They’re one-size-fits-all ideas made up by strangers at some point, so you’ll never be able to properly wear any of them. They’re ultimately pointless things anyway.

Work at a university; try telling that to the academics. Some of them are phenomenally simple. They may be convinced of intellectual superiority because they’re a world expert in frog genders, but they struggle to solve simple problems or absorb reasoning without having it dumbed down.

A university is like a daycare for those adults. And the trantrums and toy throwing they have with each other, oh my god. Daily I wonder how some of these people would survive if they ever had to leave school.

When I worked for Apple, I do remember the iOS devs having racks of iOS devices all being flashed at the same time off a single Mac. But I don’t remember the count and this was years ago—like Snow Leopard to El Cap era.

I was just kind of data analytics, but the labs were near my area, so can’t really give much more info, but mildly interesting, I guess?

That business behaviour is illegal where I am. We have regulations and they’re actually exercised.

God damn, not even the Vatican has laws like that now. Their age of consent went from 12 to 18 recently. I believe the marriage exception got raised to 14, which is still kind of wild, but not Iowa levels. Many of those laws are in place for, and exceptional to, accomodating marriages that occured in a culture where it is acceptable but the marriage is obviously no longer in that country/culture.

For those that consider marriage “a thing” these laws are intended to balance the respect of marriage and respect the immaturity of a young mind and body. For those, like me, that recognise there is literally no purpose for marriage, they’re entirely insane laws to go that low.

Hey, it may be short but at least it’s thin 😉👉👉

So long as the result is a bazillion comments with as many upvotes as downvotes on each, it’s a good shitpost. Bonus points if it captures those two cliche users that end up frustrating the hell out of each other as they strive to be first in a 20 comment head-to-head marathon that goes absolutely no where. All because some people take it seriously while others take it as a joke; minimal effort by OP.

This community seems to lean quite a bit toward people taking things seriously, or they simply don’t notice where they are before they unsheath their keyboards.

Literally what shitposting is, by definition.

And you’ve done it once gain, Maestro. Well done.

Swear the followers of lemmyshitpost don’t know what a shitpost is. Like, at all. Ironically makes it the most freshest of places to do it.

And being identified

The US saw one of the things they did followed the international standard and wouldn’t stand for it.

Well I heard herrings were involved.
