where is the "little guy"?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

" conversationalist"?

You're using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

Why do we take military threat more seriously than the threat of our planet literally becoming uninhabitable for our species? Won't be much left to defend when that happens eh?

Seriously, I genuinely think this is the great filter. We KNOW it's happening yet we're still doing it.

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Because military threat is more imminent. From a logical POV it's absurd, but sadly most world leaders don't use their brains or they can't fathom how a slow change can be slowly killing us.

You know what? I'll take it. At least there's some positive there.

Russia invading other countries

Negatives: Landmines

Positives: Bogs

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 13 hours ago

It's better than spreading fucking anti-personnel mines on your own territory

People spamming not a meme on c/memes is becoming a meme.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like c/memes needs better memes then.

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I literally used meme generator

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world -4 points 12 hours ago

That doesn't make everything it creates a meme

Tell us you don’t know what a meme is without telling us you don’t know what a meme is.

wow an out of touch janny, never seen that before

[–] Sandouq_Dyatha@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

You westerners insult janitors even though without them you'd have shit on the walls in your office schools and hospitals

At the risk of sounding like an out of touch janny, what's a janny?

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

afaik: short for janitor, and intended to be derogatory when used towards mods or admins.
I think it might have been popularized on 4chan? Idk that’s the context I’ve seen it in most and it fits their MO of shitting on people for working jobs or contributing to society at all.

Seems like a pretty shitty attempt at an insult imo tho, cuz a mod and a janitor basically do the same function (cleaning the shit so nobody else has to deal with it, ensuring the place is actually nice for users) and both are critical for public places but underappreciated/underpaid.
