why the hell are we watermarking memes here?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, surely the meme itself wasn't the joke. That would be terrible.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In retrospect, it's probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.

It should be like the dinosaur appliances in The Flintstones that say "it's a living"

We should watermark everything now

No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.

Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are for the people, but what's the problem with showing where a meme originated from?

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?

Whatever increases the net happiness in the world. 🙂

A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?

[–] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

All, the natural evolution to the trolly-problem

It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.

Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Hahahahahaha

*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.

[–] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.

Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So we've got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Damn, as savage as they are

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I would like it to be dejectedly resigned to its shitty job just like I am, thank you.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't this a thing from Hitchhiker's Guide? IIRC there's a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful... but everyone just ends up hating them?

[–] Mischala@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 years ago

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don't.

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure George would want the toilet to hate it

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

What if the toilet played ads at you based on the food you shit out, where you can't flush the toilet until it's finished?

[–] federated_toast@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Please drink verification can to continue

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think that's a different question and I hate it. I'd rather shit in a hole in the floor before using a toilet with mandatory ads.

Literally would shit on the stall door if I saw that in public. Fuck forced ads.

Is that in reference to the Safety Third podcast?

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bit tangential, but I have to share this gem https://youtu.be/BJfEcPp2H6Q?si=L_dqvsZtJ1XVkpEd.
