So just fucking say what it is! We know they're intelligent. Just tell us how they all think we're running the planet.

They've already dispatched Orcas to send that message. We don't seem to be getting it.

Realistically, other whales would probably hate orcas, given they hunt whale calves

This statement does not fit my joke.

How can I delete someone else's comment?

Write a stern letter to the Internet Committee, explaining your grievances. I'm sure they are happy to assist, especially on cases like this one! 👍

Thank you. Will they raise the issue with the Lords of the Internet???

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't go THAT far! Before you know it backfires 🤢

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, they'll need to raise it with the Elders if the Internet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Oh shoot! I got it wrong. lol. Thanks for setting me straight! The Elders won’t be pleased with me.

You have to type your password into a comment, post it, and then hop on one leg while refreshing lemmy for 10 minutes. After that, it should delete the user's comment.

I think I'm doing something wrong. Does it matter which leg I hop on? Does it have to be mine???

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, and no.
