So many snowflakes here. Especially the lemmy admins. Piefed FTW.

Last time it was a giraffe instead of a squirrel. How many times has he taken this test?

He was on Howard Stern a long time ago with his son(forget which) and neither could answer 17*6 correctly.

Did y’all hear about Trump? He’s been hospitalized. It’s pretty bad. They say he can’t stop Pootin.

Y’all way too easy to bait.

If Bernie Sanders was a cartoon character I think he just might be Lemongrab…

There’s many bots doing that for some subs…

Oldlander extension and old.reddit.com is pretty good. I prefer RedReader, though.

“Most toxic” depends on who’s annoyed this week, but there are a few recurring mental habits that reliably rot discourse without even trying.

My biggest pet peeve is probably moral absolutism, often disguised as clarity. That’s the mindset where everything gets forced into clean categories of pure good vs pure evil, with zero tolerance for the rainbow of nuance.

Next up is identity-as-proof. If someone is in Group X, then they must believe Y, and any counterexample is treated as an anomaly or betrayal. It saves effort because you don’t have to think, just sort people into bins and react accordingly.

Then there’s algorithmic certainty syndrome, which is more modern and a bit more subtle. People get used to feeds that reinforce their priors so efficiently that disagreement starts to feel like statistical noise. So instead of updating beliefs, they just escalate confidence. Nothing says “epistemic humility” like being completely wrong with confidence.

Another one is transactional morality: “If I’m right, I’m allowed to be as harsh as I want.” Which turns every disagreement into a license for cruelty, as if correctness automatically comes with behavioral immunity.

And underneath a lot of it is something simpler and more disconcerting: comfort with not understanding things before judging them. People are so eager to tell others what they are by labeling them and defining them rather than simply talking about themselves (you… vs. I…)

John 13:34-35

I read a book about this subject. The author argued it was a new commandment, not an additional one. Because if you love one another then you would never break the prior ten commandments. Makes sense.

Oh look it’s the Spider-Man meme and they’re all Nazis!

But Jesus loved hanging out with whores.

What would you do if surrounded with jihadist Nazi collaborators?

Just some of the largest man-made disasters in human history…

That looks like aluminum…

Don’t smoke out of aluminum.

I’m thinking the oligarchs are cool with massive depopulation of poors. That seems to be the plan, imo.

Bets on polymarket are largely favoring the strait will return to normal flow by the end of June.

Trump is deploying 15,000 additional troops…

I give Iran a month, tops. Trump going to get in there one way or another, as one does.

Hopefully a hell of a lot worse. Hopefully so bad people can’t afford gasoline. Imagine the fresh air. Looking forward to it.

What about the sewage of billions of people?

It’s like people talk about cows and their 50 kg/head/yr of methane they burp up. And sure there’s a billion cows! That’s 50 million metric tons! The sky is falling everybody!

Wait…

How about the 8 billion people with their four metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year? That’s 32 billion metric tons.

I’m afraid human hubris beats cow gas by three orders of magnitude.

The downfall of civilization will be civilization itself.
