I was promised obliteration

The reality of this event was disappointingly less than what was promised by the headline. It was a great throw, though.

Movie studios: "This is definitely the most important thing we have to deal with right now"

I'm really not saying "everyone should know this is parody", because it's possible for smart people to miss the point of anything sometimes. The clues here are pretty obvious, but if you're skimming, you might miss them and just think this is normal BenG shit. (My main clue that stopped me from scrolling is that this doesn't quite look like his art style.)

What I do think, however, is that people should apply a filter before jumping into the comments with stuff like "this is beyond parody". No, this is actually parody. Someone thought about the fact that it might be parody but was so committed to their first impression that they didn't scratch any deeper.

This doesn't really make sense. Try it the other way: "It's a shame we don't sleep 23 hours a day, then we'd only have to work for a few minutes."

I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I'm like "yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building"

Honestly how bad could that job be if you can do it with a pushbroom

I wish this was the top comment, I'm so tired of lemmy users falling for obvious parody. Admittedly this one is less obvious than most, given Ben Garrison's whole thing.

I thought this was going to be something clever or amusing. Nope, just Britain doing the usual British shit.

My headphones' bluetooth receiver is on the right. Bluetooth performs very poorly at passing through the tissue of a human body (I think it has to do with all the water in there), so when I wear my headphones (always), my phone goes in right front pocket to minimize the path of the signal through my body.

(BTW, you should actually try this if your bluetooth devices suck. Position the transmitter and receiver so they don't go through your body. I promise you it improves things a LOT.)

gdi ONE comment and it's the same joke I was gonna make

You don't have to put "Nobody:" before your joke, you can just say your joke.

Not gonna root for an insurance company here, by God, but please get the hell out of Florida if you can.

And in response, the state CFO is issuing twitter threats to the company, a tactic that has worked extremely well for Florida in recent history

Quite--that's why active is a better metric. And as others have stated, metrics maybe don't even matter; or they misrepresent.

My point was only for those who want to know the fate it Lemmy as it compares to Reddit: Reddit doesn't care right now. They're not going to feel the pain of the bleed for quite a while yet

That's pretty cool.

I'm truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We're doing great though! Good trajectory.

OK, as long as all the well-meaning people stop discussing it, nobody will ever find out about it.

Son, this is not it.

The ferris wheel was QA'd to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.

you edited it so it's less funny, which, you know, why even bother at that point. Why would you intentionally make a meme less funny.

It says "Quick question: what the fuck"

Does IC give you a way to make your own replacement suggestions? I only use Shipt, and it's built into shipt to preload "if they don't have that, get this". Most of the time the shopper is able to complete the whole order without changing anything when the preloaded suggestions are used.
