"Read that again"

A sentence that never follows something of value

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 52 points 2 months ago

I love that the "read that again" is part of the quote of an unknown source quoting a nameless "wise man".

A SENTENCE!

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 87 points 2 months ago (4 children)

instructions unclear, i've been reading this in a loop for the past 7 hours

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 30 points 2 months ago

That's how you end up with massive AWS bills.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 months ago

Oh, but did you try reading it again louder?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Seriously, though, what are we supposed to be looking for in the second readthrough? I can't find any sort of typo or hidden message.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

"For the people in the back"? The back of where? What is this man talking about? I'm not on stage. I'm in my living room, waiting for the kettle to boil. Are there people in my house? Who are "the people in the back"? I'm reading this sentence out loud but it still sounds fucking stupid. Help me, bald man with beard!

Thanks, reread in hi-res!

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I mean from the flies' perspective the opposite is probably true, so wygd

[–] Fabian@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think grown bees don't eat honey

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In my experience they do.
I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Smart people don't bother explaining to dumb people how dumb they are.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

And yet the post and the message both try to get you to explain it by reading it again or louder.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't get why this is in this community. It's a good message. 2 groups with very different interests, they are never going to convince eachother that their own thing is better.

Person A loves skydiving. Person B loves reading. They're never going to convince eachother that the other hobby is better.

Everyone taking away that flies are stupid people are just falling in the same pitfall of fighting battles with no victory condition

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

I read it like a anti social guideline: don't share your good info with others less deserving or so. But that might be wrong.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You know... I actually agree with this one. This is why I don't go around telling people Linux is better.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks for a sane comment to build on.

I actually think it is a fault of the American educated class that they assume that the uneducated people understand what they missed.

We all think everyone gets it or will get it with some Cliffs Notes.

That just isn’t true.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honey is bee vomit so...there's that.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not technically vomit because they have a special chamber separate from their stomach for it.

If honey is bee vomit, then babies are human piss

"Hey, boss, why do we have to lick shit? Isn't there a lot of honey?" - "That is just s myth, now eat your shit."

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Good advice, why concern yourself with the opinions of LESSER MORTALS?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There is a saying that "honey attracts more flies than vinegar" but this has me wondering if honey would attract more flies than a pile of shit. 🤔

Who has a direct like with Veritasium? Let's get this done.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 4 points 2 months ago

this is recursive, people will never stop reading this forever until they die of starvation.

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you 🫡

now the question is whether the edit will federate

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are there known issues with that?

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

I've seen it first hand

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Ok, being a fly, try breaking into a beehive and laying your eggs in their honey, see how well it goes for you. Or just be thankful that you answer to no queen and all the world's shit is yours for the taking.
