I've played Magic against him a couple times. Great dude.

Fun fact: when birds have sex it's called a cloacal kiss.

Stranger in a Strange Land. I was told I'd like it because it was critical of religion, but it turns out it was only critical of organized religion. Too specific for my tastes.

That depends where she is. Alimony is rare in Texas, for example. She might get a small amount of spousal support for a few years, but she's going to need to start a career soon.

When I learned about germs, how they're everywhere and too small to see, I thought I must be squishing them every time I touch anything. So I went around the entire house touching every surface, especially the windows, because nobody ever touched those.

The whole thing has a stink to it. Obviously I can't be 100% certain, but whenever a story like that on reddit sounds a little too perfect, it's probably made up.

Having more typos in the title than in the post is a hint.

It's also just exactly the sort of thing that people will run away with on the internet. It's hitting a hot button topic about something that people started seeing in memes a couple weeks ago.

Plus it's too smooth. If the intention was to relay an event that actually happened, there'd be some kind of rough edge to it, something unexpected. But if the intention was to expand on that meme in an easily digestible way, this is what you'd get.

It's not the most obviously fake post I've seen on reddit, and it's possible I'm wrong. But like I said, I'd be willing bet on it.

I'd be willing to bet that it's fake.

My very first Lemmy post was in what is essentially the only Lemmy comics group, and it got removed because it contained "profanity".

I was trying to post original content directly to Lemmy, which is something no one ever does. But it got removed, so fuck it, I posted it to reddit. Two hours later, it was on the front page of reddit. So not to toot my own horn, but I think that's a sign that it was pretty fucking premium OC, the kind of content that a Lemmy mod should want in their community.

I've since seen it reposted all over the internet, and it's hit the reddit front page several more times.

The profanity in question: "balls".

and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.

That's not a wipeout then.

Something like ten years ago I got into a console vs PC argument on reddit, and everyone unanimously told me that starting up a PC with a controller was such an easy feature to add that it wasn't even a consideration. I stuck with consoles.

I get that, but it seems disproportionate. I mean we're still talking about it seven years later.
