Facebook is full of those articles now, I’m sure the times I go on there and click on them to read the comments only encourages things but the comments are just so fascinating to read.

I recommend the Fraudulent Archaeology Wall of Shame group so you don’t have to click on them directly. People share so much.

i’m pretty sure that amazing robotic pets are right around the corner, but i’ve always assumed that they would be doggy style. this post made me realize that in fact they should be alpaca.

Ookami38 ,

You can definitely get some amazing doggy style robots that’ll pet you now days. What were we talking about again?

If the Internet is any indication they will be long furbys.

Off topic, but I feel like I hopped timelines to where people started using, “gifted” instead of “gave.” When did that start?

TheReturnOfPEB ,

upgifted

Anticorp ,

Upgaved.

iknowitwheniseeit ,

It’s weird, but also more specific. You can give someone a haircut, give someone guff, give someone herpes, but you wouldn’t say “gifted” in those contexts.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Not really, it’s just laziness.

“He was given 50 bananas as a gift” is the correct way to say it

The “gifted” bit is just the magical English language and its ability to verbify anything into a verb

MirthfulAlembic ,
@MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world avatar

Gift has been used as a verb for the entire history of Modern English. Unless you are speaking Middle English, gift is equally correct.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Yes it’s been around for ages, but not colloquially or informally used until about 20 years ago, just about the time where people started typing a lot!

MirthfulAlembic ,
@MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world avatar

Even if that were true, I fail to see how that would make it incorrect. And I don’t think it is. I’ve heard gift used that way my entire life, which I wish was only twenty years long so far. Perhaps it was regional until more recently.

My ex wife gifted me some herpes.

About 400 years ago. Is this a really sly way of revealing you’re a vampire?

Why would you distrust someone who has $8?

phoenixz , to insanepeoplefacebook in I think this is the craziest sovcit so far because he wants the pope to sign whatever this is.

Oh come on, this is just a 5 year olds fantasy documents. Yeah, I know it’s not, that makes it just so cringy and painful; how can you make this and not think that the receiver will hang this on their fridge?

rottingleaf , to insanepeoplefacebook in I think this is the craziest sovcit so far because he wants the pope to sign whatever this is.

I understood very little of the text on that picture, can someone clarify?

VirtualOdour ,

It’s from a person named Demetri to the pope informing him that he has returned to earth, which I presume is crazy person speak for ‘I was born’

He kinda says that because he is created by God and part of God that the pope works for him kinda.

He requires a signature on a document, I think basically saying the pope agrees he was born and is now a person? The birth certificate covers the stated consequences of the popes’ decision to sign or not within the given 40-day window. I thought for a moment it said if the pope refuses ‘I taze’ but alas he said ‘take’ so no idea what was planned.

He wants to use this signed document from the pope in official situations, especially to ‘prove’ he isn’t a normal citizen that has to pay taxes and license his car but is instead his own personal country that can do whatever he wants and gets free money for.no reason.

An interesting version of gnosticism.

They said Jesus was crazy, too, and look at all the shit it led to for thousands of years. Can we just learn our lesson and give “Dimitriou” whatever he came back for to avoid the drama?

Aqarius , to aboringdystopia in What fresh hell is this?

It’s possibly compliance. I know google requires you to have a privacy policy to even publish an app, no matter what.

dev_null ,

True. But this Google’s app so they don’t need to do anything.

rxin ,

It opens Google’s full privacy policy.

Aqarius ,

Huh. At least they dogfood, I’ll give them that.

This a grade A wacko.

I can already see some mail-opening underling in Vatican City reading this and trying to figure out what the sender wants…

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m guessing they get a lot of wacko mail at the Vatican.

They even believe some of it.

TheFriar ,

Isn’t it obvious? He’s “bak” to claim his realm and he needs the kings heir to affirm that he’s returned to earth. Duh.

The right sequence of buttons on any calculator is 5318008. That was determined shortly after the invention of the pocket calculator.
