Anthony Fantano has fucking lost it

HowMany ,

He should have eaten the seagull.

Godric OP ,

I thought Lemmy was left leaning, but the Grammar Nazis, Meme Division are apparently alive and well.

aircooledJenkins ,

You think grammar nazis aren’t found all along the spectrum? We’re everywhere.

Johanno ,

Should have. Not of. Which language is your mother tounge? I see this more often. Is american school that bad?

Dildade41 ,

I may get down voted for this but… seems like nobody spells “tongue” right.

dilawar ,

This should be told to all seagulls… Is he also a Florida man?

Lord_McAlister ,

Mom, Frank killed a Seagull.

Whole Kelly family screams

kamehameherp ,

Bad luck to kill a sea bird.

I said seagull: Stop it now!

Twelve20two ,

Hm ha hm hm ha

RedditRefugee69 ,

How the fuck are you going to define someone by a pension? Seems like a lot of assumptions and prejudice goin in that definition. Is Pension like a town or something too?

cfi ,

My understanding is that it’s a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly

RedditRefugee69 ,

Oh I see because in the UK people actually get pensions

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

I know some safety nets are better than none (and that this is a meme thread I'm dragging down), but don't fool yourself - millions of older people in the UK go hungry and cold because they can't afford the basics.

@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I think we got a similar situation all over europe, maybe not as bad and certainly better than most of the world but still shitty!

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

This is correct.
Still completely irrelevant to the story though (but that's to be expected in tabloid territory).

ZyQo ,
@ZyQo@lemmy.world avatar

Same in Sweden/norway. Pensionär/pensjonist are synonyms for retiree.

Chais ,

People really argue about which birds are the best birds, but everyone can agree that seagulls are the worst.

mihnt ,
@mihnt@kbin.social avatar

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs described them best. Rats with fucking wings.

Mothra ,
@Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

Wait. Are seagulls worse than black swans? Are they worse than Australian Magpies? I mean these surely got to be the top three worst birds, personally I’d prefer a seagull to a swan, but I’ve met enough magpie haters so I wouldn’t be so sure everyone agrees

SpeakinTelnet ,
@SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works avatar

Throw the Canadian Goose in that mix. That bird is simply evil.

hemko ,

Never seen neither of those, but I’ve seen enough seagulls to not be sad if one day they all be deleted off this fucking planet

bigkahuna1986 ,

You talk like a man who’s never been attacked by a wild turkey.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Turkeys are stupid and angry. I think the only bird less intelligent than a turkey would be a guinea fowl, but they have the edge of just being suicidally dumb. I’ve had a Guinea run away from my car and then back in front of it in confusion, but never have I had one openly charge my vehicle. I’ve had a turkey do that, though.

Chais ,
@Chais@sh.itjust.works avatar

I haven’t. But also that line is from a song.

UnfortunateShort ,

For people not in the proximity of water it’s pigeons. Fuck pigeons.

thoomfish ,
@thoomfish@lemmy.world avatar

I love pigeons. They’re like rats with wings.

agoseris ,

Plus, it’s kinda our fault that they’re everywhere, since city pigeons are actually dometic animals that have gone feral

FARTYSHARTBLAST ,
@FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social avatar

Rats are way smarter than pigeons, pigeons are dumb skyrats.

rishado ,

Fuck you bro team pidgeon over here

Taleya ,

Everything we complain about regarding pigeons are traits humans intentionally bred into them across millenia.

Pigeons did not invade cities. We abandoned them there, after they helped us coordinate building and connecting them. And we inexplicably treat them like the invaders after abandoning them the second they were no longer deemed useful.

nevial ,
@nevial@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I love seagulls

Pulptastic ,

I live by the bay of a freshwater lake with gulls so I call they baygulls

Taleya ,

They may be the worst, but someone who kills out of annoyance needs to be on a watchlist.

Kiosade ,

Simple as that*

deadsenator ,
@deadsenator@lemmy.ca avatar

It is my understanding that it is common in NZ/AUS to leave the “that” out which is implied.

mihnt ,
@mihnt@kbin.social avatar

It's from an English dialect.

Spendrill ,

To expand further the implication is that the whole proposition is simple and ‘Simple As’ is the end of the conversation, much like ‘End of’ which likewise suggests that no further analysis is needed.

sparemethewearysigh ,

Having known a few Aussies, I have never heard them leave out “that”. It fits in though with some of the other oddities in dialect they have.

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

“Simple as” is british slang

asbestos ,
@asbestos@lemmy.world avatar

Fuck seagulls

ImplyingImplications ,

Luv me chips. Hate gulls. Simple as.

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So I turns around, and I sez…

frenchyy94 ,

*shouldn’t have"

EmpathicVagrant ,

Shortened to “shouldnt’ve”, for those somehow still confused by this.

Chais ,
@Chais@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wouldn’t it technically be “shouldn’t’ve?”

EmpathicVagrant ,

YES! Thank you for the correction.

TragicNotCute ,
@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s that’s issue with this sentence.

LazaroFilm ,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Oy Wot?

vext01 ,
@vext01@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I think it was intentional

AJT ,

What is the point in jokes with some people

STUPIDVIPGUY ,

first off, in the politest way possible, fuck you

‘me chip’ isn’t correct either

‘simple as’… simple as what?

they’re not going for correct grammar, they’re phonetically spelling the accent and slang
