Like some of the high quality gifs on lemmy is much ,much bigger than the kind of videos i described . Or am i missing something ? I do understand the...

So I’ve seen passing ironic references to DARE in American media representing it as a bit of a joke. That media was intended for American audiences so didn’t really elaborate on what the program entailed but I somehow already knew without any need of such context that it was an anti-drugs public outreach campaign and was...

EDIT : It seems as no one understood what i was talking about and maybe its my fault for not elaborating . I always thought chicken was a metaphor for this paradox and not really meaning chicken as a specific spiece .

I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents’ computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again....

I’m sorry in larger communities there is a larger chance of people commenting on your posts than posting in niche communities. It’s where you all are and more importantly it is where you comment.
