I'm quoting him so this is perfect, he made like a speech to shit on me over nothing xD

In that case, “a lot” instead of alot. I might as well put The Oatmeal's excellent guide here.

Huh. That’s actually the one that sprang to mind, but all this time I thought those were the same creator. 😄

There's some seriously sad, weird people out in the world... and the internet connects them to us.

Tbh I don't think humanity was ready for social media. In the past, complete and utter fuckwits would be shamed into silence. Now, they're all connected to each other, reinforcing their shitty hot takes until they reach a critical mass; attracting other morons like a black hole of idiocy.

Forget technological singularity, we're rapidly approach a singularity of stupidity. Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, not a how-to manual for fucks sake!

I personally hate it when I misuse my stupid. You must be truly mortified that this person has seen fit to suggest that you were misusing yours.

Godspeed friend.

Ironic.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago

What about our stupid?

It says you misused it somehow. I’m not sure what you did to your stupid to misuse it, but you misused both the template and you misused your personal stupid. That’s what you gotta fix.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I guess "Use your stupid" can be applied the same way "Use your smarts" is.

Like if 'Your Smarts' refers to rationale or deductive skills, 'Your Stupid' could refer to the lack thereof.

Back when Reddit was fun there was a very small sub called r/alot. It imagined that alot was a mythical beast and whatever word came before alot in the sentence was an adjective describing it. The ~~guy~~ artist who created the sub would then draw a new "alot beast" for every post. I miss old Reddit sometimes.

The Alot Is Better Than You At Everything

Allie Brosh was on Reddit back in the day. If the drawing style looks familiar, then she might have run a sub for a while before stepping back from the internet.

the fediverse has some side effects with regards to post timestamping. i've noticed i get old posts in the 'new' feed fairly regularly as remote instances rebroadcast stuff that might have failed. post edits seem to reset some of this timestamping also.

but its all pretty specific to whatever server app you employ (lemmy/'bins)

My stupid what?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Only 4 spelling mistakes in there. Aim small, miss small.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

What happened to my stupid?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

You see the thing is shut up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

There's like 3 posts per day on this site, of course someone's gonna run into old posts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

My stupid what?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Umm that should read "You're stupid." Who patrols these posts originally to make sure the English grammar is correct? Oh that's right, nobody does. I see this mistake every single time on almost every posting anybody puts online.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I'm going to misuse my stupid whenever and however I want, and there ain't a damn thing you can do to stop me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you use the Spider-Man glasses on/glasses off meme wrong, I won’t reply. I will just block you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You must both have a huge block list and very fun at parties

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

There's only like two of them. Block and move on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yesterday I posted on your 4 day old post about how you messed up ur meme. I stand by it lol u so dumb. idk how you fucked that up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I get annoyed when someone responds to my comment from yesterday much less days/weeks ago.

How did I misuse my stupid? Did I put it in the wrong place? Did I color my stupid incorrectly? The template I understand, but explain how the fuck I misused my own personal stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Worst meme everrrr
