Oh man, someone start spreading fire ants as a cure for something. This administration would be all over it.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago

What administration?

If only bullet ants were a thing here, we could use those instead.

Can we leave US politics out of the science memes

[–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd agree, but the joke was funny.

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It would be funny it it wasn’t so sad.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Does this joke make you feel uncomfortable?

If so, can I recommend some ants?

this administration

Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as "this administration" or "the [leader] administration"?

In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that's more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch

Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's super annoying when the default country on Lemmy is the USA.

[–] array@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

USA is the only country that matters

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 months ago

...to Americans

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

The default country for anything stupid, yes

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 0 points 2 months ago

There isn't even the "this is a US website" excuse anymore, like on Reddit

Do you know a dumber one?
