but with a sciencey flair.

Tbh the test at 16personalities has almost no sciency flair at all, as far as I see, its main appeal and likely reason for popularity is the cute illustrations.

So, umm, which band??

I looked at "Individual-Quail", who just replied "No?" to the request to generate a hello world script, and it does look like a human, tbh.

People can be just lazy and skim the posts they're replying to, ignore or fail to understand the edited bold text...

I miss some of the bots.

Remember-Me or Haiku-Bot

have been my favourite ones.

(I'm a shitty haiku bot)

They can switch to Cyrillic: az, buki, vedi, glagol', dobro... Then Futhark, and so on, there's no lack of alphabet systems out there. The preference for Greek is kind of lazy.

You mean here on Lemmy? I think they disabled them on reddit anyway.

By the time she let the baby's carcass go, she had carried the calf across 1,000 miles on her head.

Maybe it was just an attempt at creating an another odd orca fashion trend?

(Man, that was a pretty morbid joke.)

Perhaps the real right place for the sticker was the drawer all along?

I clicked on this thread only to figure out what that title is supposed to mean.

And then also how is it bridged to glowie?

Just like how you have "newfag" and its more civilised equivalent "newbie" (though the two terms are more independent from each other, the latter is older).

where did you see that and what makes you think this association extends into the wider world?

Youtube, 4chan and similar shithole sites that directly followed Terry Davis, and which initially formed and adopted the lingo. Many such people are also in the circles that focus on privacy, distrust of the state and big tech companies bordering on paranoid, etc. (4chan's /g/ in particular)

I have seen the old r/waterniggers

It was just r/waterniggas. And IIRC it wasn't generally meant to be racist, so the shift to r/hydrohomies was tolerated. They got banned just due to the name, not behaviour of the users. It's really not equivalent to people laughing at and making memes out of a schizophrenic man spouting racism.

It's safe to say that the vast majority of people using the term know about its origin, and it's not mere association, but literal origin (see the video above), and also the original form "glownigger" is still widely used (it's bizarre that it's on the end of the list on Wikipedia, in fact, after some forms that are probably barely used). Otherwise "glowie" doesn't make much sense at all, doesn't it? It's a softened version pto avoid the overt racism, but it still gives a wink to it.

they actually had this thing called indian plays in both soviet countries and germany

Americans are so racist they have to fabricate nonexistent racist stuff elsewhere to feel better about their own racism. Impressive.

Check the link in my comment. Or see the video that's the source of the term - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbG6u86t4bA

I was suspicious at first too, but now as weird as the whole scenario looks my skepticism has weakened (e.g. people say he's been missing from work during the shooting, the unibrow may have been simply visually deformed by the shitty camera, etc.).

But you know what, I think it's better to stop trying to be smarter than what is reasonably possible, and at the very least wait and see what he and his lawyer will have to say in the court. E.g. if the evidence was fabricated, they will certainly try to argue that. Not everything about the story will clear up, but some things can, and I say it's better to wait it out with a bit of patience.

Besides, what if it really wasn't Luigi and we've all been duped? How will the fanboys and fangirls lusting after him feel? What will the smart businessmen do with their leftover Saint Luigi candles?

glowie

I sure didn't expect to see schizophrenic racist lingo on 196...

Exactly. Nobody can author, own, or "steal" a joke, a proverb, a riddle, a folk tale, a nursery rhyme, graffiti... Memes are just the digital equivalent of such cultural artefacts.

Nice! I'll... save this meme.

Sorry for this slightly random remark, but fuck whoever unironically came up with concept of "stealing" memes.
