Me too. It was one of my favorite subs before I cut out reddit

Years ago, when projectors were common in conference rooms. Someone was giving a practice presentation before the real deal in front of 80+ audience members. It was just our team of 8 or so the room for the dry run. In the middle of the presentation, there was a terrifyingly loud POP sound as the bulb blew out in the projector. It scared the shit out of everyone in the room. We all laughed after the initial shock wore off.

One of my coworkers stepped up on a table to take a look at it. I was near him and I waited for silence in the room while he was fucking with the thing, and clapped my hands together very loudly, simulating the previous scare. He let out a shriek of terror and clutched his chest. Everyone laughed. Eventually he laughed as well, but said something like “damn, that scared me.” Within a week he had a legit heart attack.

He was ultimately okay, but I still think about it. I know I didn’t cause it, but for a long time I couldn’t shake the guilty feeling that I contributed to it. Oops. Sorry Ken.

Counterpoint: Considering the scale of Lemmy compared to reddit, it’s hard to strike a chord. Suspend your doubt and keep making music jokes on a regular cadence. Someday you’ll hit the right tempo and and reach harmony with other users who recognize it as your signature style.

lol

Yeah, totally. As someone who used reddit for 10 years and had comment karma in the several hundreds of thousands, it still pisses me off that it was ruined in the way it was

Just like with everything else that people make into a lifestyle or part of their identity. Most are cool, but there’s always a vocal minority of dillweeds that take it way too seriously or use it to judge others that aren’t part of their pack.

Tip: Think of sometjing funky next time.

That’s as much about security and energy costs as it is about anything else

What are you talking about?

It also sounds exactly like something a racist would say

Such a great short story. My first exposure to this was the Kursgesagt animated version:

What a narrow-minded, moronic thing to say. If this is how you see the world, I pity you and desperately hope you have no influence or power which impacts anyone’s life in the real world.

Tell that to the bozo in here accusing him of being a Proud Boy for wearing a yellow jacket

That parody at the end is one of the best they’ve done imo

And being quite the prick about it in the process. Not sure that’s what this “subreddit” is intended for.

Those sound like the words of a filthy tomato eating southerner

It’s how I wish to go. One last act of being metal as fuck 🤘
