Cybertruck owners are already being punished.

[–] Zron 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Is it really a punishment if they asked for it?

I remember when they were sent by god to punish the gays, but now I find out it was sneaky Kamala all along!

Does this mean that my insurance company won't consider them acts of god anymore and will actually cover them?

Funny how they never get the message that maybe GOD IS PISSED at them.

Nooo it's all 'this is because of the gays!!' The fabulous gays of homophobe town is why it got flattened? Sure kevin

[–] barsquid 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

God couldn't possibly be mad at them. Despite doing the opposite of many things Jesus taught, they must be right. The man on the big stage at the hundred-million dollar church told them so.

Needle, eye, camel, whitewashed graves, Matthew 6:5-6....

How can I apply to become a globohomo? I mean I'm a straight beta male but still, I would love to join the movement.

Wouldn't that make you an arborohomo? To be a globohomo you need to fuck a light bulb

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

I'm not an expert, I just like telling people to fuck trees.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Maybe a terrestrial globe? That would explain why some have a point labeled "Bangkok" (sic, presumably used an old or regional spelling)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Like one specific tree, or I get to pick?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Nah the tree picks you. You'll know it when you see it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It is nice to feel wanted.

Okay, I'm in.

I'm hoping for a weeping willow; tears make for excellent lube.

This is an actual term apparently in common circulation, though homophobia wasn't even its original intent: https://glaad.org/globohomo-definition-meaning-anti-lgbt-online-hate/

Emerging in 2016, this multi-purpose, right-wing troll invention combines homophobia and anti-Semitism. Researcher David Futrelle’s well-known misogyny tracking site We Hunted The Mammoth offers this summary: “Ostensibly, ‘globohomo’ is short for ‘global homogenization,’ an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy ‘traditional’ culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture. But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, ‘globo’ means ‘globalist’ and therefore Jews; while ‘homo’ (the suffix) means, well, ‘homo’ (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that ‘globohomo’ isn’t gay-sounding enough, add ‘gayplex’ to it — ‘globohomogayplex.’).” According to the Online Hate Research and Education Project, white nationalists and other hate movements use “globohomo” to allege the existence of a global plot to promote the so-called ‘‘LGBTQ+ agenda,” a similarly minded conspiracy theory (promoted by certain sectors of the Christian religious right) alleging that LGBTQ people aim to surpass the rights of other groups and “groom youth into identifying as part of the community.”

I found a good use for AI:

Undo bad language censoring in meme screen shots.

Fucking tiktok trained them like dogs.

You can't be popular on that platform unless you self censor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

What really gets me is the self censoring outside of that platform, I refuse "unaliving" is simply too many syllables to ever make sense to me in normal conversation.

The part I don't get is that there are so many cool, real conspiracies out there to be explored

[–] friend_of_satan 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This is so Carl Sagan.

And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”

...

And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.

And that's just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it's boring

[–] TrickDacy 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh fuck you just corrupted the fuck out of me. What in actual fuck is wrong with you, writing that on the Internet where people can read it?
