I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!
All cars are driverless cars when they're parked.
Any desk is a standing desk
I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets
I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?
Every other species in the world gets to go out in their birthday suit...
… but when humans do it, it’s automatically NSFW....
If warranties are for when things break on their own, and insurance is for accidents, then we should have a separate "warranty" for heart attacks vs "insurance" for trama
It is very good UX how escalators slow down when nobodies on them but keep moving.
It makes it clear the direction of movement and how the user has to position themselves so they can ride it without thinking about it- but it saves power from slowing down
The dominance of cat content VS dog content on Lemmy reflects its current techie userbase
I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user...
Life is like a television show; sometimes there are reruns, unexpected plot twists, and moments that make us question if we're on the right channel.
It's raining men and let the bodies hit the floor could be about the same event from radically different points of view

You will never understand until you've understood.
What if the length of a term was proportional to the amount you won by in the election?
Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that’s treated the same as if you win by 50%. “You barely won, here’s the same mandate as someone who won soundly”...
Manifesting is just like praying. In both you strongly wish something to happen
And the odds of that happening doesn’t change whether you chose to ‘pray’ for it or ‘manifest’ it.
John Candy should have called himself John Junkfood. “Get it, because I’m fat and my last name is Candy.”
Iced milk is weird until you put coffee in it
Someone's put salt in their coffee and liked it
Paywalls aren’t a new thing for journalism. Newspaper delivery fees were a paywall.
In just a few decades we will probably be able to ask an AI for a movie or a game, and it will make one to our exact specifications.
"You're almost completely covered" can mean two very different things at the doctor's office.
(Assuming you have shitty American insurance, anyway)
The point of the book is that Frankenstein IS the monster.
Trees are air roots.
An island is a mountain mostly underwater
We under-estimate how much of an impact our social media posts have on the world
It’s routine for even relatively unsuccessful posts and comments to get 1000+ views. Imagine that many people huddled around you in the real world hearing your take on the Reddit API changes or looking at the dumb meme you made in 5 minutes. That would be something, wouldn’t it? For some reason we don’t think it is just...
I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.
I’m getting better at it though.
when you smell something, that thing is slowly dissolving
Like a very slow alka-seltzer
