Alfaspyke , in Nerys can out dad joke everyone.

What episode is this from?

EatMyDick , in Who are those people who still let Big Tech piss on their face, thinking it is the lord of the rain?

It’s silly watching people like you who just scream over “big tech” blow any chance of normies listening to you. You do more damage then good.

marmo7ade ,

OP doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to understand that I can think “big tech” does a lot of bad things, but I can still personally use their products to make my life more efficient. I have accepted the risk. That doesn’t mean I agree the risk should exist. More than 1 thing can be true. What a crazy concept.

Pretty much all of us are using products made by slave labor. But we have to live in modern society. We can’t make our own clothes.

EatMyDick , in looking forward to the comments

I guess you call them jay fegs right?

Ertebolle , in Organic, huh?

I for one am happy to know that the food I purchase is strictly carbon-based and doesn't contain fillers made up from ground-up Horta carcasses or whatever.

Hank ,

I'm sorry to tell you this but plants contain anorganic elements. It's less than 1% tho.

@Streetdog@lemmy.world avatar

That’s unacceptable.

Imgonnatrythis ,

That’s why I avoid them

It’s pronounced “Giraffe”.

marmo7ade ,

Giraffe comes from the Italian word giraffa, which comes from the Arabic zarafa.

GIF stand for Graphics Interchange Format.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THE WORD GRAPHICS?

That’s what I thought.

MargotRobbie ,
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

No, it actually stands for “Giraffe-ic Interchange Format”, because giraffes can stand, and I love giraffes. 💖🦒

Jraphics

You’ll have to show other examples of phonetic acronyms requiring their original word’s pronunciation and not the word it’s become.

it’s not NA(h)TO

brewdtype ,

I suppose you pronounce jpeg as “j-fey-g” too, then, since the P stands for “Photographic”?

Or perhaps you argue that to doesn’t count since it’s on the P and not the Ph included in the acronym. In which case I guess we’re just abandoning all connection to the root words and we’re back to the fact that it’s okay to pronounce it “jif”.

Also the creator pronounces it jif because he was goofing on Jif peanut butter and wanted a “choosy devs choose GIF” joke. So I’m going with that.

Also it makes people mad and that’s funny.

BetaBlake ,

Thinking people getting mad is funny, the trademark of a super mature person.

pythonoob ,

You sound mad bro

@TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com avatar

Doesn’t it hurt your point that we don’t pronounce giraffe with a ‘z’ anymore? Pronunciations change, ultimately as long as people understand what I mean when I say “jif” it’s fine.

@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

It’s so useless that I actually feel better having that minus symbol next to the number in any post/comment that I make. Because I love the felling of shame. Yeah, I’m f***ing weird.

Resol , in Disgraceful
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Lol, I speak Arabic as a native language, and I know damn well that you translated incorrectly.

It’s not “لا”, it’s “لِ”, which means “for”, “to”, or “of”, as in “for/to/of Mohammed”.

So yeah, it’s not as bad as you think.

LazaroFilm , in Organic, huh?
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Well it’s not made of organs…

MxM111 , in Assuming not air resistance

The right wording should be neglecting air resistance.

Copper sulphate is a listed "organic" fungicide despite not having any carbon atoms.

Gork ,

Heresy!

Hupf ,
Siethron ,

I’ve seen “Organic” salt.

that doesn’t have Carbon, Hydrogen or Oxygen

pakrat ,

There is no such thing as organic salt…

qtj ,

Wouldn’t the salts derived from organic acids like citric acid technically be organic salts? Like sodium citrates for example?

Yabadabadoo , in Organic, huh?

More likely that everyone was ignoring him, but that don’t sound as cool on twitter

KevonLooney ,

This dude - “Are these ‘organic’?”

Stall worker - “Yes. 3 dollars.”

This dude - “Really?”

Stall worker - “Sir, do you want the pears or not?”

auhu , in Well what are they supposed to do, just not do that?
@auhu@kbin.social avatar

Those people piss me off so bad. Latest example being Meta's Threads logo having "666". There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of Zucc and his bullshit, but it's such a fucking stretch. It distracts from the real issues with that company.

Yes. And I’m guessing you are too. Otherwise, how did you know I was using psychic powers to shitpost on the internet?

Lightor ,

I also have created my own ISP.
