Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

No dad it's not hormones I just accidentally tapped my card at the store and instantly grew a set of boobs.

Paying for things is feminine. You should punch the cashier and shout “this is mine!” like a real man.

/s, obviously

But I suspect it isn’t.

[–] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Given the wording "confident and penetrative thrust", I think it must be satire.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I checked out the Twitter account. I think it's clearly a joke, but the guy is a big Trump supporter so I'd say he does ultimately believe the rhetoric behind the joke. Therefore, not satire.

[–] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago

Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck in a card reader and I have a lifetime ban from Chipotle.

Can someone make a shitty shop of a card reader with a card in it and a aheago face please?

I hear the newer versions now like it in the receipt hole.

Also: who needs AI....a text prompt leading to the creation of a new image. You've seen it here folks.

Why are y'all taking this seriously?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

there are a non zero amount of straight guys who saw this and will never tap their card ever again

IDK but I'm pan and it's obvious to me that this is satire.

When I was a cashier, there was definitely a subset of people - usually the same people wearing maga hats - who did refuse to use the tap. They believed it was insecure. I looked it up, it's slightly more secure than the chip (if only because contactless systems are not yet susceptible to counterfeit card reader attachments).

It was pretty annoying too, because I was frequently stationed at a register that had a broken chip reader. Some people would get frustrated very quickly and, like, start rage-jamming the card into the machine repeatedly. It's kind of scary how many people go from 0-60 unhinged at checkout.

After learning about the security aspect, and because of that broken reader, I made it a point to educate everyone I could about the tap. A lot of people aren't even aware their card can do that stuff.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I exercise ultimate security by just having no money. If anybody manages to open the Pandora's Box that is my bank account, best of luck to them.

This pairs well with my draft article “Penetration fascination slows wireless charging adoption”

As a straight person, I can safely say "no". Please send help

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

broke: tapping your card
woke: thrusting it
bespoke: not making any contact with the terminal to assert dominance

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

bespoke: not making any contact with the terminal to assert dominance

Doesn't tapping fall under that?

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Tapping implies making contact, in my brain at least. Tap = sound = contact

If I pay cash, does that make me nonbinary?

[–] DivineDev@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depends, do you gayly slide it over or do you slam it on the counter, breaking it?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How does one slam a bill on the counter breaking it?

Ohhhhh... Were you talking about breaking the counter?

[–] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The bill collides into the counter with such force that both immediately disintegrate into a cloud of hot plasma.

No, it makes you suspicious. Only criminals pay in cash, and the FBI wants to ask you a few questions.

There is nothing more fragile than the masculinity of "bros" who worship masculinity.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.

Is there something I should know about myself?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes. That you should be waving it over the reader and saying "you don't require payment" loud enough for the cashier to hear

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 9 points 1 week ago

this isn't the credit card you're looking for

This guy has definitely fucked a chip reader.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, we all have. Right?

I stopped fingering one to type this and now its doing the error beep.

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

the seconds sentence is like satire but it's twitter so idk

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And if you hover instead of tap?

Real men take what they want and don't apologize. If you're not serving 25-life for multiple petty robberies that escalated to attempted murder for no discernible reason other than insecurity about your dick size then you're not a real man.

Here's exactly what my feed looks like. I'd say this is further evidence that the straights are not okay.

That is so needlessly and intensely erotic

Penetrative thrust into the chip reader 😩

!are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

I do the thrust, but it's because I'm old and forget that tapping is an option.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Nonsense. You assert dominance by laying your credit dick across its POS face. Nothing fem about that.
