That's not an insult it's a curse

Insult:

Your elevator doesn't quite go all the way up.

You have all the creativity and emotional intelligence of a manager

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 33 points 8 months ago

One that I like that is also a curse rather than an insult is "I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are"

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago

May your children grow up to be like the politicians you voted for.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 8 months ago

No! Don't inflict them on the rest of us!

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 9 points 8 months ago

This is both

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

You fight like a dairy farmer.

[-] Andonno@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

(because someone had to)

I don't get what that's supposed to mean... Wouldn't dairy farmers tend to be more jacked than average?

If that happened it'd be the year of the linux desktop.

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 8 months ago

It is the year of the Linux desktop

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 33 points 8 months ago

It's the two certainties of life:

  1. Death
  2. Taxes
  3. It is the year of the Linux desktop
  4. Half Life 3 is just around the corner
  5. I'm terrible at maths

...and so are the next thirteen.

[-] numanair@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Is this a joke about the 2038 problem?

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 8 months ago

I'm not smart enough to come up with that, but thank you for giving me the credit!

Refer to someone you've never met by their name if you can. This usually works best in a school or work setting. And when they ask how you know their name just simply reply:

"Everyone knows who you are." And walk away.

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

the post is asking about insults. it's not really an insult either but it'll certainly make people feel worse...

This happened to me. I was really really into AI when nobody even knew what it meant if not for hal, skynet and matrix, and now everybody talks of llms like they even know what the f they are.

[-] thantik@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Nah, nobody talks about LLMs. If I approached an average, everyday person about this topic, 99% of them wouldn't know shit about it, while the tech-nerds all would.

It's not mainstream at alllll yet. I introduced a pair of people I game with to openai/gpt3.5 like...a week ago and they were absolutely beside themselves using it.

[-] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

What I mean is that "back in my day" there were maybe 10 people in the world seriously investigating strong AI

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I know some people doing old-school logic-based AI research. They're happy because there's more AI funding in general, and they can present themselves as "what neural networks are missing" or "the next big thing". Or they come up with projects involving hybrid systems.

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

That's unlikely. What's more likely is that you were not yet exposed to AI research and did not read through the academic reviews and articles of the time. AI is a serious topic in science and engineering since more than half a century.

You look like someone who eats hot dogs the long way

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago
[-] wunami@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's about inserting hot dog shaped object in to the end of the digestive tract opposite the mouth.

Cycling? Great, increased funding for infrastructure and increased general awareness. Amateur radio? Lower prices for rigs, innovation, and more contacts to be made.

If your interest in a hobby is based on its exclusivity, it may be that you're more interested in exclusivity than in the hobby itself...

[-] Pyroglyph@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago

I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won't apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's not that some hobbies are based on exclusivity or even some other hipster rationalization, but there definitely is a period where a shit load of new people come in, read half a wiki page, then proceed to argue and talk down to people who have been at it for years. It ruins communities if the audience widens too much at once. I've been online long enough to have seen it happen multiple times.

I would love for my hobbies to be more mainstream. More merch, more people to share the experience with, and presumably more content

[-] shikitohno@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

This works up to a certain size, then you start having to contend with more shameless money grabs, scalpers catching wind of things and making it impossible for actual fans/users of the product to get stuff for a reasonable price and more scammers.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

And the opposite end of that is the corporatization of your previously small cozy wholesome authentic cottage industry sized hobby. It happened to videogames in the late 2010s.

[-] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 6 points 8 months ago

Its also implying that the hobby will eventually burn our or become cringe in the eyes of the public. As most fads do.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Thrifting used to be fun Now everyone thinks they're a flipper and goodwill and other places have jacked up their prices to unreasonable levels.

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Not to mention the fact that it's (sort-of) taking materials that were attempted to be destined for the less fortunate

Fr 10 years ago I was cool, but I kept doing the same things and now I'm just basic lol. Even the undercut became a popular hairstyle.

[-] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

The thing is that the mainstream aspect will burn out, like most fads do, but the people who really love it will keep loving it, and some (usually small) amount of the new influx will also stick around permanently and enrich the community. It's just about surviving through the fad part that is hard.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 13 points 8 months ago

linux? lets hope so!!! 2024 year of the linux desktop!!!

[-] TheLameSauce@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Honestly, homebrewing becoming a mainstream hobby would be pretty great, I'm always interested in trying a beer someone else brewed and it would probably make sourcing ingredients a lot easier if there was enough of a demand to necessitate a local shop in my area.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

maybe start a local group with the goal of opening the local shop yourself?

[-] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 10 points 8 months ago

Based on your looks I expected you to be smarter.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

All the sharp wit of a perfect sphere.

[-] MrNesser@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Its nice that you tried

[-] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

I was just hoping you'd do better this time..

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

Insult? That's a straight up curse.

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Wow, you have such a beautiful mind

[-] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

"Bless your soul."
