Ask Lemmy

"I took the road less traveled." Which in the original poem means pretty much the opposite of what people are trying to say.

I guess you don't see it too much these days (outside of maybe yearbooks or collections of inspirational quotes), but Frost's "I took the one less traveled by,/And that has made all the difference."

If you read the rest of the poem the narrator explicitly states in several different ways that the roads are pretty much the same. So the narrator is saying that by later on saying the roads are different he'll be retroactively be justifying his choice or just not telling the truth about it.

Not a quote, just a single word that's overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word...

"Woke"

Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!

"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" -stupid monkeys

That trickle-down economics quote. There's studies about it [not working] published but it's just studies.

The original quote is "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows" from Galbraith.

I imagine people are not yet ready to learn this "promise" ain't holding water.

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"

You do realise that people who are awake during the night are of equal importance, who's gonna run those power plants and radio stations and petrol service stations and police forces and whatever else? If they shut off during the night, there'd be chaos. At least a chaos that most folks won't see because they're asleep or something.

I said what I said...

"Settled science." Used by people who don't understand that science at its heart is constantly questioning everything.

"You must be funny at parties"

Specially if you're not around, bitch

At the end of the day...

"Blood is thicker than water" followed by the equally erroneous "covenant" explanation.

We need to be like Amazon and hyper focus on the customer
