Or “Once I am elected, meat is back on the menu boys!”

The half the sheep cheer and tell him to eat those other annoying sheep over there.

variants , in Elections

To be more realistic the wolfox would be saying he is going to eat all the sheep, and the sheep will be talking amongst themselves saying he’ll settle down once he gets into power and what he is saying is just to anger the wokes

Zink ,

Honestly I think you’re giving the sheep’s human counterparts too much credit. They don’t acknowledge that they are potential prey, even while actively being victimized.

He’d be saying sheep who get eaten are suckers and losers…

What do you do with Home Assistant?

“Oh well I automate a noise complaint form submission. It’s integrated with my noise level detector and with a custom python lookup for the most recent airplane departure”

(that guy probably)

I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

“This woman, who suffers from body dysphoria and constantly gets more and more plastic surgery (a behavior which harms no one but herself) is the same as this fictional serial killer who tortured hundreds of people to death.”

But in all seriousness, I don’t think it’s nice to make fun of people’s appearance.

Quite a range of things. It’s so many It’s hard to list them all. Some of these are more global than others:

Eyestalk ablation is the removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) eyestalks from a crustacean. It is routinely practiced on female shrimps (or female prawns) in almost every marine shrimp maturation or reproduction facility in the world, both research and commercial.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyestalk_ablation

Chick culling or unwanted chick killing is the process of separating and killing unwanted (male and unhealthy female) chicks for which the intensive animal farming industry has no use. It occurs in all industrialised egg production, whether free range, organic, or battery cage.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling

A gestation crate, also known as a sow stall, is a metal enclosure in which a farmed sow used for breeding may be kept during pregnancy.[1][2][3] A standard crate measures 6.6 ft x 2.0 ft (2 m x 60 cm).[4][5]

[…]

There were 5.36 million breeding sows in the United States as of 2016, out of a total of 50.1 million pigs.[8] Most pregnant sows in the US are kept in gestation crates.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestation_crate

Ventilation shutdown (VSD) is a means to kill livestock by suffocation and heat stroke in which airways to the building in which the livestock are kept are cut off. It is used for mass killing — usually to prevent the spread of diseases such as avian influenza. Animal rights organizations have called the practice unethical.

The one that got me most was Thumping, the standard operating procedure for killing baby piglets. They grab them by the back of the head and smash them into concrete until they’re dead, depicted ~6 minutes into Dominion

When did Nero divergent become a thing? Last couple months it’s everywhere. Never even heard of it before then…

yokonzo OP ,

I mean I’ve been hearing it since like 2018, it’s just an easier way to say you have some disorder or another without really getting specific.

Also humans just love classifying themselves so that probably has a bit to do with it

webghost0101 ,

It has existed for a while but has been getting more mainstream ik recent years.

Its a good term because it comes from the community itself rather then being a medical label by a doctor so its inclusive to people with or without diagnosis.

It also covers many more neurological differences that are not, yet frequently overlap with, autism. adhd, dyslexia,… You dont need to self identify as sick or disabled it often just feels better for me.

PeriodicallyPedantic , in This is a real threat :(

Ceiling light is best light.

All these fucking mood lighting I see people talk about make you look like some kind of underlit villain, or like you’re telling goosebumps stories around the world’s mildest campfire.

Why am I the only neurodivergent person who finds floor lights fucking disgusting ???

yokonzo OP ,

Im pretty sure by mood lighting they aren’t referring to lights built into the actual floor. I think they just mean less intense lighting like lamps, string lights or LED color lighting.

I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a house with floor lighting indoors

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I’m not talking about descriptions, I’m talking about pictures and videos.
And I’m not talking about lighting set into the floor, I mean like floor lamps and shit.

They put these laps on shelves and desks and standing on the floor, but they’re almost always below eye level when standing, so everyone looks like a b-movie villain as they move about the room. It drives me crazy.

Give me an overhead area light. Soft shadows from light cast downward onto my face.

yokonzo OP ,

I mean I guess I could see that, I’m sure everyone has their own preferences about lighting.

Though I will say most of the floor lamps in my house do rise above a person who’s standing up, otherwise they have a light pointing down.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

You’re right wrt personal preference. It’s just strange to me how seemingly all the neurodivergents but me hate overhead lighting 😭

Floor lamps that are above head height are… Ok I guess, but that’s still mostly head-on. Light that is clearly cast down is so much more satisfying. Personal preference, of course.
And to be clear I don’t have anything against mood lighting or accent lights, I like them… Just not only them.

The impression I have (mainly from social media like tiktok and Lemmy) is that the desired lighting is head high and below which just… Puts me in a tailspin lol. Idk how people can live like that 🤣

In my ideal room, there would be indirect overhead lighting that illuminated most of the ceiling to provide an indirect overhead area light, with a near-head level accent lights. I’ve looked into if I could use a short-throw projector onto the ceiling to provide some kind of crazy configurable overhead lighting, but they’re simply not meant for that kind of application

RabbitMix ,

Im quite Neurodivergent and i absolutely love harsh overhead lighting, i want to be bathed in light

Sorry but no.
Desklamp is where it’s at. Can’t stand ceiling lights if they are behind me.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I prefer not to be lit like a b-movie villain, when I’m walking around in my own home, but you do you.

Flummoxed , in The "one bad apple" claims always ignore the many many many bad apples that exist

The phrase is “One bad apple spoils the barrel.”

Literally means all are bad if one is bad.

Edit: verb simplification.

usernamesAreTricky OP ,

Marium webster has a good article about the history of the misappropriation of the phrase

merriam-webster.com/…/one-bad-apple-spoil-the-bar…

denshirenji ,
@denshirenji@lemmy.world avatar

I kind of think this is also a bit misleading. Isn’t the point of the phrase that you should remove the bad apple lest it affect the rest. As in, “If you leave the bad apple in the barrel it will spoil the bunch. So remove it before it does.” I don’t quite think that its really being misappropriated.

From your link a translated original proverb:

“Well better is a rotten apple out of the store

Than that it rot all the remnant."

So, by that logic, if you get those bad apples put before they spoil the bunch then they were “just bad apples”.

To be clear I’m not saying the phrase isn’t being used to minimize serious issues. But the point of the phrase wasn’t that one bad apple means the entire bunch is already rotten, but that you need to remove the bad elements before the rot spreads.

usernamesAreTricky OP ,

However it’s often used in the context of already existing systematic issues. The bunch has already spoiled

denshirenji ,
@denshirenji@lemmy.world avatar

Wholeheartedly agree!

I have had some time to think about it, and I should have included the word systemic instead of serious. I still stand by my overall point with regard to what the idiom actually means. I don’t believe that its a good thing to misrepresent something just to prove a point.

Flummoxed ,

Yes, my comment was an oversimplification in light of the topic. The adage is supposed to teach you to get rid of the bad apple to save the barrel.
