Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What is the biggest "lie" told to people in human history?

[–] ppfdee 5 points 1 year ago

Demonizing MSG

[–] heliosef 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely not the biggest, but I remember reading na yung eating carrots = good eyesight was WWII propaganda to hide the fact na gumagamit ng radar tech yung UK. Kunwari yun yung source ng accuracy ng soldiers nila, especially at night.

High consumption of fat, not sugar, can lead to heart disease

Until today, people still demonize fat. Ayan imbalanced tuloy sila sa nutrients. And stop buying low fat milk! Just buy full cream unless lactose intolerant ka.

Thanks sa last statement, muntik nako masaktan as a consumer ng low fat milk. Ahahahaha. Though switched to plant milks now kasi ayaw na talaga ng tyan ko sa cow milk.

Pero ayun nga, since ancient times naman nagko-consume na mga tao ng fat, lard pa nga eh. Kelan lang naman yang sugar.

I found this on FB Marketplace today for 200 pesos.

Best case, this might be recordings of local boxing matches in channel 9/RPN. That block had plenty of lost media commercials and I could be stumbling on a gold mine here. Worst case, American broadcasts. All in all, worth the gamble for a small price. We'll see in a few days!

[–] Companion1666 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anong boxing kaya yan?

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just got it. Boxing nga pero wala commercials, haha.

According to a "24 Oras" report, Hamor got angry after Kamikazee declined to take a picture in their tourist attraction Thousands Light Roses.

Huh. Persona non grata dahil sa picture? Sana may mas malalim sa kwento na to kasi kung eto yun reason, medyo ang babaw.

Kamikazee got Imelda'ed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reference:

It caused an uproar when the Beatles didn't attend a reception with Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos on July 4, 1966 at the Presidential Palace in Manila. Local media incited the outrage, and the snub almost caused the band to be injured when they left the country the next day.

Sa mga data hoarder dito, kailan kayo nagpapalit ng flash drive? Itong SanDisk Ultra Flair ko (64GB) na mag-limang taon, umiinit kahit nakasaksak o naka-read lang. Itong flash drive lang tumagal sa akin ng +2 taon.
