Is that the fabled Drive B: ?

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Rated B for Bean

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Ooh that takes me back, B was my mid-90s family computer's 5.25" floppy drive. :)

I don't miss the resulting stink smell.

When people say to stop being political on here, it's not necessarily that they don't think politics is important and should never be discussed, it's that you should turn "off" once and a while and talk about literally anything else. Even Anne Frank wrote about other stuff in her diary sometimes, and her life was under threat by actual Nazis so I don't buy the "Everything's on fire so we should never shut up ever" argument. I'm not even asking you to change your mind, just to change the subject once in a while.

I'm just sick of seeing this:

collapsed inline media

[–] Sine_Fine_Belli@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I agree with you on this. There’s a time and place for everything

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz -5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes but today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it is us.

There is no correct amount to think about or talk about a genocide while it is unfolding, it is relevant to every single one of us in every single moment.

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’m not saying it’s not important, I’m saying could you please not post about it in a completely unrelated community. I swear Lenny’s motto should be “sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

But mooom!!! I wanna post news about the Gaza genocide in the cute pictures of cats community!! Why does the evil early_riser not let me do it and wants to constrain me to topic relevant communities???

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Surprised to hear that considering how little I hear about Uyghur genocide under the CCP.

"just put the boobs in the bag bro"

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is political

also random flashback:

did anybody play "zombies vs. Humans" in PE class? Where some kids were Humans and the other were zombies and the goal was to "eliminate the human race" as my PE teacher told us. It was like tag, sharks and minnows, dodgeball and red light green light combined to make the most chaotic game of all time. And the rainbow parachute that you got to wave around and the hula hoops and the little rock wall and...oh, memories.i miss elementary school :(

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh that parachute!

I too miss being a kid. I miss when my biggest worry was whether I’d get to play Nintendo when I got home.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

long live the parachute

What ever do you mean? Are you trying to say that being able to ignore politics is in and of itself a political stance, since being able to ignore politics is a sign of the privilege you have?

Crazy talk.

[–] arnitbier@sh.itjust.works -5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Thank you for adding some smartass to the shitpost, it is appreciated

Started as people not wanting political posts and everyone just ran with it.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I was posting corn because I felt like it and wanted to contribute lmao. I didn't realize it was because politics lo.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

As if there was ever a real choice

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago

Ok corn, back into your hole

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Is the corn supposed to be opposed to being political?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 points 4 days ago

No that's acorn

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

I love this art

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

MORE FUCKING CORN

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if the mods are going to pin this, why not just start a user vote to disallow political memes? !politicalmemes@lemmy.world is already a community

[–] BCOVertigo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There is a correct amount of doom each person can engage with before it negatively impacts their mental health so much that they will be less effective at doing anything to make the world better.

I don't presume to know what that is for you, or anyone else, I just know that if we let Lemmy bucketize things in line with its design then people can opt in and that self determination will do a better job than either of us.

I don't even think that there should be a rule against politics here, but people posting an article that's not a shitpost in any sense are getting more upvoted than things that are clearly shitposts because people viewing from their subscribed feed upvote before noticing the com. The pinned post's ratios are very telling to me that the people clicking the com vs the general public are voting much differently and I have no idea how to fix it.

Maybe we require a minimum bar of editing (ignoring quality of edit obviously) for pictures of certain topics, and block URLs from OPs? Clearly there are some shitposts that are political and fantastic, but ffs it was getting bad enough for this backlash.
