Another great one syllable Yiddish word is Schmuck

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

I had a plastic brontosaurus toy as a kid that I loved. It had a weird chemical smell to it. 30+ years later, when I hear “brontosaurus” I instantly and vividly swear I can smell it

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

Thanks for that, but I’m still struggling to understand the link between this blood type and “actors/actresses”

What do you mean by rh- blood types? I don’t understand

If you stopped following sports 8 (fucking 8!) years ago, why the fuck are you here making hopeful comments about Rodgers?

This should absolutely be the top comment. Holy shit, Rodgers is such a fucking moron

Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related

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.

I am though. The thing is, I have bought their products in the past. At one point I was a customer. This shit makes me a detractor, which is potentially negative sales beyond my own

To be clear, I’m under no delusions that anyone from the company will see this comment, but this is enough for me to never buy their products ever again. So they have verifiably lost at least one customer for life over this.

On the infinitesimal chance someone from the company does see it who has decision-making power from within:

Fuck (capital F) your garish plastic crap with LEDs plastered all over it. Your products were a hard pass before this, and now I’m encouraging others to avoid you

Salinger is a classic example of this. One of the most celebrated authors of all time. He really only wrote one full novel and then essentially disappeared from public view. Despite this I don’t think anyone would consider him a failed writer by any definition

And if you squeeze him too hard some of his sores will rupture

😂

What are you angry about?
