Big Tech companies are finally getting the names we thought dystopian megacorps would have
Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke
They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.
Any time you're told that the weak and vulnerable are responsible for how bad things are, rather than the rich and powerful, you're being lied to
Does Consciousness Disappear in Dreamless Sleep? (lemmy.world)

We should rename Solar to Patriot Power to make it palatable to the right
The Left is doing it wrong....
Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.
Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.
I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
You don't realize how nice it is when you don't have a headache, until you have a headache.
Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.
Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
"God works in mysterious ways" basically means "this doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm gonna ignore it"

You arent stuck in traffic, you are the traffic.
When two people kiss, they form a long tube from one anus to the other
Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays.
Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.
Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.
After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/
I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.
c/YouShouldKnow should’ve been called c/LemmyTellUSomething
When I was a kid I identified old TV shows because they were black and white...
These days, kids identify them by the aspect ratio.
I wish humans could get firmware upgrades
-bug fix: anxiety has been reduced by 50% -bug fix: memory has been buffed by 50% -bug fix: removed reoccurring memories of past failures
A metric tonne (1000 kg) should be called a megagram (1 Mg).
The opposite of "Ladies and Gentlemen" would be "Whores and Scoundrels".
Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you’d open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school.
Right now there is a loneliness epidemic throughout the world. More and more people aren’t entering relationships. Gen Z men are having significant trouble dating while there are some economic factors in the mix. From my own view and experiences combined with what I’ve read most Gen Z men are lack the social and...
