Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style

This is like r/AskOuija, but for lemmy; not affiliated to the r/AskOuija though.

What is this "Ouija" thing?

Ouija here is referring to the Ouija Board that used to communicate with spirits and it look something like this:

A Ouija board

To play the Ouija board to communicate with spirits, one needs to place one’s fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words letter by letter, and then finally, “goodbye”. This is the part we refer as Ouija Style.

Technically saying, there is usually also “yes” and “no”, but including them in commenting makes it less fun to comment, so usually we don’t do that here.

This is generally how Ouija Style works. Hope you have fun commenting, spirits!

RULES

this is adopted rule from r/AskOuija; but due to the difference between Reddit and Lemmy (for example, there is no flair) many things are not doable here.

  1. No shitposting. This includes posts that start with "if this gets X upvotes..."
  2. Posts must ask a question (or be answerable in some way).
  3. All comments must be a single character (including number and emoji, they too have to be single letter), except:
    • When the post title begin with [Meta].
    • Comments reminding people that they violate the rules.
  4. If you feel that the Ouija has completed its answer, you may comment with "Goodbye" to end the thread. If you want a fancy Goodbye, it would be okay, but it need to have a clear indication of it is a “goodbye”.
  5. You may add commentary as long as it's a child comment of a "goodbye" (in reply to a "goodbye", in reply to a comment that's replying to a "goodbye", etc).
  6. You may not reply directly to your own letter comment (this includes replying to your own letter with a Goodbye) but you can still reply multiple times in a thread.
  7. You may not help answer your own question. You can still reply to a Goodbye, but you cannot add letters or Goodbyes. You've done your job; let the spirits do theirs.
  8. No bots.

These rules are a work-in-progress and subject to change. Feedback is welcome.

Islamic extremism is right wing but rhetoric difference is which abrahamic religion they most likely align with.

It took me a couple of minutes to realize that they're not trying to say that left-wing extremism is 26%. The two greys are pretty close in color, and it almost seems intentional.

Fuck the ADL.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh right, I thought that too.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How are you sure it was intentionally bad. It makes both appear minimized to me.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Because it [appears to put] islamic extremism in the leftist category. Being that right wing extremism is basically christian extremism, it would be more accurate if they had made islamic extremism a different shade of blue; or another color all together if they were trying to be balanced

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

I realized what you meant shortly after making the comment. Yeah, that's true. I agree.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Including or not including gang violence?

Watch yo neck bro WATCH YO NECK 😅

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Is gang violence political? Do you assign ethnic groups to political positions?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The crips are Whigs and the bloods are Federalists.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

are you trying to say gang violence is on the left?

lmao otherwise i no idea wtf you are talking about

the only political gang violence i know about is groyper on kirk

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Kirk was in the middle of taking a question on mass shootings and he then started going on about gang violence instead before getting shot.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Iirc, I think the FBI themselves said that most of terrorism in US soil is from right wing extremists.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

It's nice of them to admit the abuses of power they committed.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Islamic extremists and right-wing extremists are different categories? That's generous. What this really says is that 97% of violence is right-wing.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure "black nationalists" are right-wing too...

I think this infograph is deeply confused about what left and right wing mean...

Check the community you are in

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Probably shouldn't have posted an image like that then

Edit: as someone pointed out lower it's because it's from the ADL.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Ok? This is a community where we rolepleplay being a human ouija and we write 1 letter comments, the most upvoted comment chain "wins" and is the response.

Both the original comment and you are violating rule 2.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

So are you, RULE BREAKING FILTH

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Read rule 2 before complaining again? I'm doing what's specifically allowed in rule 2. This isn't the gotcha comment you think it is.

I think I've made myself pretty clear. Goodbye.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Remember you're not right wing if you're brown.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

edit: aw shit

[–] ChetManly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

From the Apartheid Defense League? fuck those guys

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 23 hours ago

Oh, that's why "right wing extremists" and "Muslim extremists" are separated!

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Fuck those guys indeed.
