In my opinion, it’s French piss. Don’t get me wrong, Italian piss is good and all, but the reason I prefer French piss is because it still has the Europeany piss taste that Italian piss has, but tastes a bit more sour which gives it a richer flavor. It also feels a bit more classy than Italian piss. Italian piss is a close runner-up though. I hope you take this into consideration, Thank you.
Shitposting aside: there is a valid point on there. Because we can’t see our opposites in any discussion on the internet, we cannot take clues into account we otherwise might have. This leads to far-reaching misinterpretations. Imagine someone with a very weird and overly simplistic political stance they defend with tooth and nail. Now imagine that person to be some activist with a cap with political slogans on it. Okay, and now imagine the person to be not that, but a 15-year-old who just started to grasp the world around them but thinks they have it all figured out (puberty doing puberty things). Your reaction to either of them would be VASTLY different, wouldn’t it. Imagine how many stupid internet fights would never have happened if it was known that one of the participants is a literal child that can’t have a clue what they are talking about yet.
Yet, not knowing that we’ve been arguing with a child for the last hour and a half, we will leave the discussion with the impression that there are grown up people out there thinking childish bullshit. Don’t get me wrong, there are those people, but they are not as frequent as one might guess from the internet.
This is why I refuse to take relationship advice from the internet. I wonder how many adults have gotten divorced because a teenager on Reddit told them to
Traditional Capitalism:
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
The herd multiplies and your bank account grows.
After a while there is nothing to eat but beef and nothing to drink but milk.
A lot of people can't afford either.
The planet is knee-deep in cow shit.
Everyone is fine with this for some reason.
I never got the purpose of karma. You can’t spend it, it’s just a pointless number. A few subs used it, fire whatever reason, as a numbers threshold for entry, but getting karma was so trivially easy even without bots that it literally accomplished nothing in that regard.
Not that I ever cared about karma, but I can see why some people did. It plays into peoples need to be liked. Karma associates a number with how well your post is doing. Bigger number = more people liked your post. Basically quantifying how well liked your post is and then gamifying it.
Really that stat would have to be something like total karma divided by your number of posts, or number of views by logged in users on your posts. As a total number it’s meaningless. It’s like someone being a millionaire if humans were immortal. Are they really good at business, or have just been alive a long time?
Your brain sees the reward (karma) and gets a hit of dopamine. In theory this creates a spiral of encouraging you to post more contet for more dopamine hits. More content pulls in more users…
Back in 2013-ish there was a bot that would convert your karma to crypto back when it was cheap enough to just throw around like that. That was the only time in my life that I was ever paid to post, and it was like $6. I wonder how much it would be if I were to find that wallet now, but that was on an account that no longer exists. Oh, well!
Cool meme but you better put more effort when making 2048 beans 2: 4096 electric boogaloos. We are a quality pooppost community after all, not like the general quality of Reddit.
