It's either that or marriage by lottery?

don't lots of countries force women into the military?

According to ChatGPT, only Norway, Sweden, Israel, North Korea, Eritrea and Mozambique does.

ChatGPT isn’t a real source… want some glue for your pizza? 🤦‍♂️

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I mentioned the source for a reason. Do you absolutely have to be such a dick about it?

The Netherlands also has conscription for women, but with the caveat that they haven't actually called up anyone since the late 90's

1600 posts and 4200 comments in under a month. Bots are ruining lemmy.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you honestly calling me a bot?

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

assuming that godrics numbers are correct that would be 53 posts and 140 comments a day roughly. those would be impressive numbers for someone who wasnt running a bot on their account

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

I've been using the Fediverse for over 2 years now, so their numbers are incorrect and anyone looking at my post history on Lemmy can go back and see 2 years worth of content.

Godric frankly needs to stop thinking a piece of news being posted is sign of a bot, because I can only assume that's the reason they even clicked on my profile in the first place.

Looking at your profile, Lemmy itself seems to be saying your account is 3 weeks old. I don't know what exactly is going here.

Because the instance changed from Lemmy to Piefed.

The question that remains is why did they go to my profile to even look at the post amount and account age?

There's been a couple of accounts that instantly find any news that might be slightly critical of a western country as Russian propaganda or bots, I'm tired of these clowns and I strongly suspect Godric is among them.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Same. I did scroll history and the account has activity beyond 2 months though. Also I definitely recognize the name.

Did you transfer from another instance or something? your profile says it was created 23 days ago

Edit: i see that you've answered why this is elsewhere. just a misunderstanding then. nothing to get up in arms about

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

They apparently transferred over from ICQ
