Rick Astley. I never really got the point of people getting mad at Never Gonna Give You Up, if anything getting rickrolled is a nice surprise to me.
Rickrolling wasn’t ‘ha ha you listened to an overplayed song.’ It was the punchline to successful trolling. You’d wind people up with a story and provide alleged video evidence. Suddenly they’d know they were duped. The tension, the emotional investment, was yanked out from under them. It’s the comedy version of a jump scare.
Basically, do you know who Shittymorph is?
But this being the internet, a lot of people Did Not Get It, and thought the entire gag was the mild annoyance of unexpected exposure to some above-average pop hit. The meme died because of their clueless misuse and overuse.
The original Rick roll was not a happy YouTube video link. It was a JavaScript bomb that you couldn’t get out of. Some people knew how to terminate their browser process, most people had to reboot.

Pineapples on pizza
Nobody actually hates it, it’s just a joke that’s been dead for 3 decades and beaten into the ground
i dislike pineapple and like pizza so
It’s such tired posturing as well, like yeah fine whatever
The idea that we ought to improve society somewhat, even while participating in it.
Here? Bicycles. Super weird how weird people are about bikes and bike lanes here. Spreading the joy of a non-commodified fun-as-fuck method of transportation often provokes some truly reactionary energy here.
Biking is based. The benefits far outweight the cons compared to the other private transport we have today. I thought the hate was almost exclusive to cars from what I’ve seen which is understandable. At least in comparison to bikes.
Pedestrians hate us too. Drivers want us off the road, pedestrians want us off the paths. We are welcome nowhere.
Pedestrian here, can confirm. Cyclists are the worst.
Knowing that there are motorists out there who will maliciously put your life at risk because you’re on a bicycle is insane to me.
I remember this one motorist who as a hillarious joke would almost run me over. Not a fan of his
Comedy is subjective though…
yes I’m sure he found it a lot more funny than I did.
It’s not a very polished set, but he’s persistent.
Super weird how weird people are about bikes and bike lanes here.
redditors are the worst about it. If you post in your town’s subreddit about bike lanes, all the landlords crawl out of the woodwork to talk shit about bicycles and go on paranoid rants about how drivers are oppressed by bike lanes.
Here’s the problem: for the average consumer, more than five minutes of exercise in a bicycle is apparently excruciatingly painful.

Who doesn’t like bicycles? I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road, and bike lanes are sometimes more of a safety hazard.
Bikers get a lot of hate because a lot of them act like pedestrians. (i.e. riding on sidewalks, crosswalks, not stopping at stop signs, not signalling turns or shoulder-checking) But then if you do all of that dumb law-abiding stuff like some kind of responsible citizen, people in cars honk at you, give you their right of way, or worse!
found the truck driver who tries to kill every cyclist they see
I’m a cycling instructor. I teach people how to cycle safely and in accordance with laws.
Have a lovely day, thanks for your input. I’m happy someone was ready to discuss with me!
you really think someone would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?
I don’t follow, sorry.
cyclists would not need to do those things if there was proper infrastructure and if car drivers weren’t out to kill them.
making bikes come to a complete stop is less safe because of the acceleration curve of a bike, if the way is clear it’s safer the cyclist and anyone else around for the cyclist to maintain speed
Regardless, the law states that a vehicle must stop at a stop sign. Bikes are considered vehicles, and thus must come to a complete stop.
the law doesn’t determine what is safest, physics does.
the law also varies by jurisdiction and in some places having cyclists treat stop signs like yields rather than full stops is the law.
Really? I didn’t know that! Where I’m from it’s different. That’s good to know, thank you! Have a lovely day, and stay safe out there.
I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road
you should try interacting with cars as a pedestrian or cyclist. There are people driving on the roads now that I wouldn’t trust to safely ride in a pram let alone use of heavy machinery at high speed in a public area based on a test they did years ago. If car use was held to the same standard as safely using heavy machinery in an industrial environment a lot of people who drive now wouldn’t be let near a car. It’s like people think they have a god given right to operate heavy machinery despite having no ability (or inclination) to do so safely and doing it around children
also bikes don’t actually have turn signals and when you use your arm to signal it means you have less control of the bike while you do it
That’s why you have to practice signalling so that you can maintain control over the bike while signalling. It’s tricky, though, especially for less experienced cyclists. Have a lovely day and thanks for the insight!
“Who doesn’t like bicycles”
proceeds to list every bullshit anti bicycle talking point I’ve ever heard
Damn those entitled cyclists acting like they’re entitled to use the road without getting run over.
As a cycling instructor, I’ve been honked at, verbally harassed, and flipped off more times than I can count. The reason I know the anti-bicycle talking points is because my job is to discourage people from becoming like that.
Sorry if it wasn’t clear in my comment! Have a lovely day and thank you! Your response made me laugh.
I ride on the sidewalk when I can because I do not want to be run over by some
in a truck with a 12" lift who’s infuriated by having to see a bicycleI can understand that. I know that the laws (and road conditions) differ from place to place. Where I’m from, sidewalk riding is restricted to younger people, and so as a cycling instructor, I cannot advise my students to ride on the sidewalk, as it would be dangerous to pedestrians.
Thanks for your perspective, though! I hope you have a lovely day and most importantly, stay safe out there!
I love riding my bike, but one thing I and everyone else heavily disagree on is riding in the street. You can tell me it’s safer (somehow) than the sidewalk until you’re blue in the face, I’m not doing it and I certainly don’t feel safer doing it, and I’m definitely going to be pissed at anyone doing it in a road I’m trying to drive down.
Edit: I almost forgot the carried over thing from Reddit where anything ambiguous is automatically the worst possible extreme, so I want to clarify that “being pissed” is just complaining to myself in my car, I’m not going to commit vehicular manslaughter because someone’s in the road on their bike.
Riding on the sidewalk endangers pedestrians (especially children and people with disabilities). Crossing an intersection that has cars coming from the right is also unsafer because you enter drivers’ the field of view much later (than if you’re on the street) and at a higher velocity (than a pedestrian). If you are riding a car please accept that in the most places in the industrialized part of the world, bicyclists have exactly the same right to use the street (according to local regulations of course).
K.
You would be pissed at cyclists who are actually on the road where they are supposed to be unless there is a cycle path…?
Yes. More on this at 11.
ill take your seething over a fine lol
A fine? What dystopian hellhole do you live in? Where I live in Indiana, almost no one rides in the street, always on the sidewalk, the only people ever riding in the street are those dorks in full underarmor outfits that revolve their entire life around being a bike owner. No one gets fined for riding in the sidewalk here, and I’m honestly horrified that that’s a thing anywhere.

Why and how does that mean that? I’ve never had any issue riding around pedestrians.
Systemd apparently. Every time someone brings it up, the thread devolves into a religious flame war.
I’ve never got this either. I’ve been using Linux exclusively for over 4 years, multiple devices, tested dozens of distros, almost all Systemd-based and I havent ever experienced any problems that the anti-systemd folks talk about.
Or at least, they were so rare and minimal that I didn’t notice.
Coming from an IT background dealing with 99% Windows machines and Microsoft products, maybe my bar was on the floor, but Linux has been soooo much more stable and dependable than Windows.
Been using Linux since 2004 and systemd has made my life significantly easier. People bickering about systemd are usually ultra nerds without arguments real people would consider important.
I remember in my coding class when the prof claimed the language we were learning didn’t have GOTO, but it also didn’t need it because anything that could be accomplished with GOTO could be accomplished with loops and conditionals.
Now looking back I can’t believe what a tech debt nightmare goto is, and I’m glad I weaned off it.
Startup scripts seem more powerful because they’re code you know will be executed sequentially. For a developer that feels nice.
But a declarative system like systemd is so much more predictable and stable, specifically because it does NOT allow for sequential execution of code.
Once I made that switch I was a fan. It’s so much more predictable and standardized.
Exactly my sentiment. Why would you want something with more moving parts than systemd which is also slower? :D
There are some good alternatives to SysV init.d scripts nowadays which only came to fruition after systemd existed and people noticed it’s possible to write something like this.
I used OpenRC and s6 and both of them worked better and were easier to configure than SysV init.
I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.
I don’t understand why anyone would want that back.
A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

Was a little bit of a hassle initially to convert various custom init scripts into systemd unit files, but it was worth it IMO. Now the init scripts feel kinda jank in comparison lol.
On a barebones or embedded system I can see a lightweight init having a very big appeal though
I agree. Coming from the Windows world, systemd felt quite familiar compared to other components in a typical linux system, I always liked it. It doesn’t really follow the unix philosophy though, so it gets a lot of hate.
F*ck the Unix philosophy, this is Linux, not Unix.
Ditching the UNIX philosophy is a bad idea.
It’s a very useful guideline. There are times when those rules should be broken - systemd may be one of those - but by and large the UNIX philosophy has served us well.
Electric Vehicles.
People who hate them have never driven them
Or they just hate all cars
Those I’m ok with hating EVs. It’s the other ones that blow my mind.
Yeah I dislike cars in general, but EVs are at least a step in the right direction.
I just want an 06 Prius. These new ones are huge…
fucking despise them, its disgusting that investing in renewables or green only became attractive to governments when it meant sending more money to fucking car manufacturers
electric vehicles will only save the car industry
I played like 40hours of Cyberpunk 2077 before going on social media. I Thought it was going to get “mid” reviews, but I guess I got really lucky to not hit any serious bugs. Lesson being: If you wanna enjoy a game, don’t look at any marketing materials, and don’t seek out social media about it until you’ve had time to form your own opinions.
I read reviews before buying on day 2, basically. Sure, I expected some bugs, as the reviewers warned. I barely got any, just some visual glitches during cutscenes. Still, I would give the game a solid 8/10.
Came out of my playthrough to everyone raging about everything about the game. Couldn’t even give an honest opinion about the game without being downvoted to oblivion because people who never even played the game refused to believe the game was playable at all.
The hype backlash was a serious issue for that game. People expected it to be something it never could have been.
It would be one thing if people were just overhyping things, but a lot of the outrage was over how much they just blatantly lied while marketing the game. They promised a lot of specific things and then released something that was aesthetically impressive but ultimately outdone in just about every other category by sometimes decades old games, and lacked all of the groundbreaking features they marketed.
Personally, even coming back to it much later and trying to enjoy it at face value with all of its updates, it still felt like a boring and shallow GTA clone with a neon glaze. That’s not to mention the fact that it’s still frustratingly buggy.
Yeah I think the same thing is happening with starfield as well. People expected skyrim x elite dangerous x the good parts of no man’s sky and I think that just isn’t realistic. That said I find starfield pretty meh in it’s current state, I am waiting for the QOL mods to stabilize before I play much as I just ran into way too many issues.
Might be because they marketed it as such and then the devs failed to live up to the marketing.
I still laugh thinking about how it ran “surprisingly well” on PS4. Lmao
Cyberpunk 2077 was an incredible game until I tried to drive a car.
Yeah I hear that’s bad, I hate all driving in video games so it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for me, I think I drove a car like twice in 150hrs.
It’s horrible
I borrowed it from a library for a PS4. It was genuinely unplayable if you actually wanted to play it, but for laughing at the bugs and whatnot it was great.
Would’ve been pissed if I had paid anything for it.
Same. I played it on stadia and it was pretty stable. When I went to that other site to see what people were saying I was absolutely shocked at the amount of bugs and hate it was getting.
I’m not a gamer but I’ve noticed reviews of anything are usually trash. And if you’re thinking about buying a product and looking at reviews, you’ve gotta be careful to avoid reviews where they get a cut on the “buy now” links. In fact, usually if it has a link to buy it I just go back and forget that review.
I played it on Stadia, completed it within like two months after the release, never encountered any bug
Cilantro and onions. Y’all wouldn’t last a day in Mexico.
Unfortunately I have the gene, but onions are great though.
I’m here to represent the “Cilantro Tastes Like Soap, But I Like That!” crew.
Fuck off tankie
How about you take a second to think about your response here. We are talking about onions and cilantro not politics.
I don’t even remember posting in this thread so I have no idea what you are talking about.
One of these is true:
- Your account was hacked…
- You have a serious memory issue.
- Saying hateful, rude stuff is something you do so commonly you can’t even keep track of the instances.
Pretty much all of those are problems that you should deal with.
You told someone to fuck off for being a tankie in your eyes while we were talking about cilantro and onions. It’s out of place.
Abolutely with you. I fucking hate cilantro and I fucking love onions.
im pretty sure i could eat an onion like an apple. i LOVE them
Red onion has the sharpest flavor raw.
For the longest time I didn’t even know what cilantro tasted like. I thought maybe it tasted like nothing to me. The reason for this was once when my wife and I were at a Mexican restaurant, I got some green salsa. I dipped my chip in and complained to my wife that it tasted like nothing. She dipped a chip in and started gagging. She said it tasted like pure liquid cilantro.
One day I was cutting some cilantro for some tacos I was making at home, and I took a big bite. It didn’t taste like nothing to me. I just always associated the flavor with lime because anytime I have something with cilantro, I always squeeze a lime over it.
I always thought that was mildly interesting.
Cilantro is one of the best things in life.
Oh I’m quite aware, tomatoes too.
Every little bit I eat them to see if I like them (or can force myself to) but I just haven’t been able to yet. I really wish I could just get over my dislike but I can’t seem to enjoy the taste.
I saw someone commenting how they specifically don’t like “raw tomatoes”. I was wondering why you’d be eating raw tomatoes to begin with but they just meant like regular tomatoes, ones you haven’t cooked since for them the cooked ones were the norm. And it had so many people agreeing with them about how “raw tomatoes” are disgusting.
It’s a weird world out there.
I also don’t like raw tomatoes, but cooked ones are okay.
I’d interpret ‘regular tomatoes’ as something non-heirloom.
I’d call “raw” tomatoes, as in regular eatable ones as just regular tomatoes. Raw to me sounds like unripe. While prepared, I guess that is self-explanatory. But I guess that’s more about cultural or language differences.
What do you not like about “raw” (I guess it is now warranted since there’s ambiguity, so fair enough) tomatoes? I think they’re the tits! First time I hear the term “heirloom tomatoes” btw.
Raw means uncooked, not unripe. They taste sharper and have their skins on, and the seeds are with their gel and juice, between the firm fleshy parts. When tomatoes are cooked, often the first step is to drop them in boiling water for a minute, take them out, and slide the skins off. Because the skin gets tough when cooked. The other thing that happens in cooking is that the flesh softens and the seeds migrate so it’s all more or less the same texture. The flavor gets sweeter too.
Personally I like raw tomatoes and cooked equally, but they are different.
Just sounds so weird, people calling regular tomartoes “raw” lmao. Is that a thing somewhere in the world, maybe the US? They like their stuff factory done lol
Raw cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes would go along with raw carrots and raw celery and raw cauliflower and raw bell peppers and other raw vegetables on a crudité platter. Guess what “cru” and “crudités” means in French?
The point being that these are all vegetables that can also be served cooked. (Unlike lettuce which is ruined by cooking. I tried it once, blech.) But when dipping, you want that firmness and fresh taste.
It’s not a US thing, or anything special, you just seem to have an exaggerated idea of what the word raw means. Maybe you’re confused because it can also mean naked (“in Equus, he appeared on stage in the raw”) or chafed/chapped (“his nose was red and raw from the snowstorm”) or unedited/unfiltered (“the raw data suggests Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 election”). But in this case it just means uncooked/unheated. It could be sliced and spiced and still be raw.
Btw, we don’t default to cooked or canned tomatoes, we would specify those as well, for instance in a pasta or chili recipe.
Hawaiian pizza
Pineapple pizza.
Fucking war criminal
Is it much different from other savory food that comes with a sweet side dish? Just as cranberry fits to venison, the taste of pineapple fits the ham those pizze typically are covered with.
It’s not good, fight me
Almost like taste is subjective
For real??? 🤯
Canadian Bacon and Pineapple is my favorite!
Pizza and Toast Hawaii are both nice.
I’ve also had pineapple kebab.
Anything else omelette with pineapple?
Gay/trans people
Surprised? You bern living in a cave?
There is a lot of hate, but I was also thinking of this. It does surprise me that the anti-lgbt movement has become so widespread. Like, what did they ever do to be hated that much? Loving the wrong person?
Lemmy allows people to see who downvoted things, some apps let you tag users so you can recognize them in the wild. For instance, you could look at who downvoted this and then tag them all as “Fucking Scum”.
Soggy cereal. That’s how I ate is as a kid and how my siblings did as well, mostly. No one ever said it was gross or the “wrong” way, until I got a bit older and found out that pretty much everyone hates it.
I can’t stand dry cereal lol.
The original Dune movie
Ooh good one. I fucking loved it and only recently realized how many people hate it after talking about the new Dune movie.
yeah the David Lynch one was cool as hell
Best lynch film Change my mind
Really? You’re surprised at that? I can’t watch most movies of that era, but I couldn’t even finish watching the original Dune movie, and I’ve read the entire main series including the final ending in the Brian Herbert books.
the “weirding modules” thing was pretty stupid
Bananas and olives.
What, together?
No, separated. I’m not some kind of savage.
My question was the same as above, because I’m kind of concerned.
Bur your actual answer is:
- Bananas.
- Olives.
There are generally 5 things that I don’t like to eat.
- bugs and likewise shit (not food).
- Seafood with the shells still on. It’s a phobia I’m working on.
- Broccoli because I’m allergic
- kiwi because I’m allergic
- And fucking disgusting olives.
