Hijacking top comment to add this relevant information:
Nobody:
Me: "This meme format makes no fucking sense!"
POV: the meme when you don't understand its format
Yeah, this meme would have made more sense of it went:
CELEBRITY:
*dies*
WIKIPEDIA EDITORS:

Two possibilities.
1: It's the calm before the storm. It implies nobody was egging this on. People were simply going on with their lives, when suddenly a thing happens. "Out of nowhere." It's a common trope both visually and in writing.
2: It makes autistic people mad.
Makes it a solution to a problem that didn't exist.
It suggests that nobody talks in the past tense about people have that just died. Which is false, because we do.

In any of these “Nobody: “ memes you can crop that line and it changes very little. It’s a shit format imo.
originally it was supposed to mean something being said or done unprompted. most people use it wrong so it doesn't make sense. here for example, the prompt is in the caption. someone died. that's the prompt. the use of was follows it logically.
the proper use of the meme would be something like:
Nobody:
Stephen King:
because he just says that shit unprompted, no one asks him about it, no one accuses or even suspects him being involved and suddenly, after years of criticizing orange mussolini, this happens to be the one time he supports him. that justifies the "nobody:" imo.
Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.
I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Not one person in the history of the universe:
This guy: Stop adding unnecessary lines.
It made sense when it was (originally) used properly. But no one ever uses it correctly anymore. And then they blame boomers for not understanding memes, as you see in this very thread a few comments up.
There are so many bad meme usages now I just want to let the world burn because I’ll be dead soon.
It took approximately an hour after Ozzy Osbourne died for every single Black Sabbath video on YouTube to be inundated with "R.I.P. Ozzy" comments.
Wikipedia senior editor here to answer all your dumbest Wikipedia-related questions. Fire away.
Ozzy Osbourne's death was first announced to UK media, first article i could find came from the BBC and released 8:11pm
how is it that a Wikipedia editor outsprinted the first article and made the first death edit at 8:08pm?
Obviously someone in the BBC was salty that he didn't get to write the article on Ozzies death, so he quickly edited it in the Wikipedia so he could claim the "first" bragging rights.

Some of it's going to be down to a major news org like the BBC being much more careful to make sure he's really dead. With Wikipedia, that's a fuck-up, but almost anyone can make it, and it can easily be undone. With the BBC, that kind of fuck-up would haunt them for years. I've also read that Sky News may have been the first to confirm his death. Looking at that edit, the editor didn't mention a source; they just "was"d him. Bad practice by Wikipedia's standards but worked out in the end.
I think it's a point of pride that we can be so up-to-date, but as a tertiary source, we rely on the credibility of secondary sources like the BBC to have any semblance of usability and order. I think we're running different races, and we couldn't run ours if they didn't run theirs.
ahh fair alright, Sky News released a short article at 8:05pm
when looking for it it was difficult to dig through a billion copy pasted sources, half of which were paywalled or "tUrN oFf yOuR aDbLocK"walled :')
Who gave you that rank? Do you get monies?
They're based on edit count and not something meant to be taken seriously. It's not a rank either; you don't gain any meaningful status by having more edits. I don't get any money.
Used it as a faux qualification here just to express that I'm experienced and qualified to answer dumb questions.
Ok, here goes another - are you aware that I'm gonna tag you a senior wikipedia editor on my lemmy app and thus gonna be reminded of who you really are each time I come across you?
who you really are
I don't think this actually gives you additional insight into their life, lol. We still don't know the important questions: Do they fart when they sit down? How many chinchillas do they own? What's their favorite medieval weapon? If they could en passant in real life, when would they use it?
This is the guy that saved c/vegan on .world after the fiasco where the community basically imploded and moved to ML land. I'm not even a vegan (or vegetarian), but I know that :). Technician has done some Lemmy work.
If anyone deserves credit for saving the comm, it'd be @Sunshine@lemmy.ca. She doesn't post there anymore owing to disagreements with .world (now posting in other vegan comms), but for a long time, she was the beating heart of /c/vegan.

You must have a script to make everything past tense when they kick the can, no?
Sometimes you'd think so. It's actually more delayed than you'd think; major celebrities are often several minutes between major article publication and edit, when theoretically you could speedrun that kind of edit with a source in about two minutes from time of reading the article.
You might've seen this, but the editor who changed Henry Kissinger to "was" became such a social media phenomenon that day that her talk page was flooded with "congratulations". An administrator (being responsible, tbf) had to step in and remove gravedancing, my own included.
Shame this kind of edit isn't consistent or "Was%" would be a really fun speedrun. "Banned from Club Penguin%" energy.
I think it's important that Wikipedia remain unbiased and factual.
It just happens to be a fact that kissinger's death was worthy of celebration.
If a public figure dies and some people have good things and bad things to say about them, that is just life.
If a public figure dies and a significant and diverse segment of the population want to dance on their grave and fight over who gets to celebrate their death the most, then that sounds like something of historical significance to me.
Why did it take Wikipedia so long to add dark mode?
I'm going to refer you to Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost, but if there's jargon in there that makes no sense, I can clarify. The TL;DR is that the skin Vector (2022) (an update from Vector (2010)) made the interface more flexible to customization, logged-out users could now have preferences, and Wikipedia's design was all over the place after 20 years of largely decentralized development.

There are a few famous anti abortion people that "cancelled" or "abandoned" some business or other thing. I'll sometimes edit it to say, "aborted".

Angling the holster so that it’s already pointing at the target when it clears the waist
It’s a quick-draw stance to minimize motion, I believe.
Do reduce the angle they have to rotate the gun.
