Not part of this community, so maybe this is a stupid question, but...wouldn't those things taste terrible mixed together?

Edit: just looked up whether you could mix mead with tea, and apparently it is a thing people do. I guess the reason why I thought it would taste terrible is because I've tasted tea mixed with coffee, and it tasted terrible. I also just looked up whether you could mix tea with coffee, and apparently it can taste good too. My whole world of not mixing beverages has been flipped upside down. I'm sleep deprived. I will probably regret this comment.

One of the most surefire ways to find funny/troll reviews on Amazon is to sort from price highest to lowest, and type in something that should be relatively affordable, like a watch or a vacuum cleaner. Although for every twenty troll reviews, you will find one serious one, and be shocked/appalled that they had that much money to spend on something that won't drive you somewhere. I did come across one review for a TV that cost as much as a car, and the review was actually serious. Complete with a picture of how the TV fell from the wall mount.

I wonder what caused angels to be portrayed as beautiful humans with feathered wings, if this is the 'accurate' version. Maybe there was a different passage that had a more charitable description of angels, and companies figured they could sell more figurines of goddess-looking bird women at CVS than...uh...whatever these look like.

A stable man isn’t effected by another mans sexual preference. Allowing that which you disagree with to control your mental state is the definition of powerlessness

I mean that's what makes it funny, isn't it? This guy is making a complete fool out of himself dragging himself up a railing, simply because he's annoyed by a symbol of identities different from his own.

Yeah, just added a cw for the comments upon someone else's advice. I only skimmed a few, and I thought they were satire before I posted it. It's always concerning when something you think is satire is really serious...

I read the first few comments thinking they were being sarcastic, but reading further they genuinely seem to view...whatever the heck this guy is doing...as some kind of heroic stand against wokeness or something. What. Edit: Also, if I were to include a content warning about reading the comments, what do you think would be a good thing to warn for specifically? Cause they seem to be hating on pretty much everything LGBT related.

Hear hear. I'm often disturbed by how many upvotes these comments that show hate towards religious people in general get, and as much as I hate blocking people, I often block the posters on sight. I guarantee that if I still followed that religion, and heard someone say my beliefs were a mental disorder, it would do nothing to change my mind. In fact, depending on what phase I stayed in, I might decide to retaliate by spamming more threads with proselytizing in hopes of getting an even worse reaction to confirm that all nonreligious people are like that, that they were the ones who needed to change or be eliminated.

What manner of conniving knave would inflict this impenetrable partition of text on an unsuspecting web denizen?

Thanks for explaining the Mastodon-Lemmy compatibility thing. I've been confused about it for quite awhile. My alt's instance blocks a bunch of Mastodon servers, and I've always wondered why, since I almost never see any content from Mastodon users on here anyway. I always assumed it was simply a gesture for the admins show that they disapprove of that server's policies or something.

I looked through several of these 'title' posts, and that does seem to be the most common use for that now that I look at it. Though I do occassionally come across stuff that you could probably come up with a decent title for, but might take longer than is worthwhile. Thank you!

[–] VolcanoWonderpants 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I see now, thank you. I was just wondering. Now that I look a little more at the 'Title' posts as examples for others to look at, the more I see that it's usually for stuff that's hard to title without spoiling the content of the post (e.g. typing out the entire text of a meme would be really annoying)

Is Holly Horny meant to refer to a Sonic character or some other character famous for being flanderized?
