Depress_Mode , to world in US expects Israel will accept Gaza ceasefire plan if Hamas does

Didn’t Netanyahu say just the other day that there’d be no ceasefire until his war goals in Palestine had been achieved?

Depress_Mode , to videos in Dashcam footage clears man of felony charge after showing constable injuring himself

It sucks that they turned this into a story about how great mass surveillance is

Depress_Mode , to lemmyshitpost in The History Channel, now in the fantasy section.

When I was a kid, I definitely remember a more history-centric focus on the History Channel, although I remember even then (early 2000s) that they seemed to lean pretty heavily on WWII documentaries. It seemed every time I switched to the channel, one would be playing. It’s more or less been the way it is for the last decade or so, though.

Nah, it’s not much better during the day, either.

Depress_Mode , to memes in Society

This chart really makes no sense at all. How does Lord of the Flies lie at the intersection of The Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451?

One’s about an ultra-conservative theocracy, one’s about government surveillance and propaganda, and one’s about destroying books because people’s attention spans have reduced past the ability to read and they’re too long/confusing/depressing. I guess authoritarianism might lie at the heart of all these? Meanwhile, though, Lord of the Flies is more about the dangers of unchecked groupthink and how it can lead to violence and cruelty.

Depress_Mode , to memes in ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

Whenever I get a capcha of anyone on a vehicle, I always make it a point to highlight the entirety of the driver too because I’m not going to just let Google train its self-driving vehicles to just ignore that every motorcycle has a rider on it.

Depress_Mode , to noncredibledefense in The missile is eepy

I only barely understood every other word. Could we get a transcription?

Depress_Mode , to memes in Happy Halloween!

This must be somewhere in the Midwest, that’s the only place strange enough to think “theses” rhymes with “Reece’s”.

Depress_Mode , to internetfuneral in look twice

The context is right there on the trailer.

“Look twice” is a phrase to raise driver awareness of motorcycle safety. Right below it, though kind of hard to see, it says “[MO]TORCYCLES”

Then there’s the Yamaha sticker. They make motorcycles (and musical instruments lol).

Finally, you think some deadly pathogen would just be transported in a flimsy-ass consumer grade trailer? How about some Occam’s razor?

To “cry wolf” is to unnecessarily raise the hue and cry (either on purpose, or through naïveté), something those taking this phrase literally are far more guilty of than the owner of this trailer.

If I say “Watch out, don’t hurt yourself thinking too hard,” that, like the above, would be understood as a joke even though it takes the form of a warning. It’s not my fault if you freak yourself out worrying about literally hurting yourself by thinking too hard.

Depress_Mode , to internetfuneral in look twice

Genie, for my first wish, I wish that everyone who has ever seen this photo or ever will can just look at the stickers right there on the bumper and see that this is just a joke about being obsessed with dirt bikes, not any kind of deadly pathogen or anything.

Seriously, it’s sad how many people over the years have taken the phrase written there far too literally.

Depress_Mode , to news in The NHL bans Pride Tape, setting off a backlash from players and fans

More like the NHL tried to do an inclusive event, but 2 or 3 players were able to spit on the whole thing, and the NHL allowed them to very visibly undermine it, justifiably calling the whole thing into question. If the NHL allows that, then I’m sure they aren’t as progressive as they’d like to appear.

If it was truly only 2 or 3 players, I doubt there’d be much pushback from the union for taking action after making them all look bad. This kind of thing only works if literally everyone participates. If those players refused, they shouldn’t have been let on the ice at the very least. Being willing to do that would say way more for the NHL’s support for the LGBT community than wearing rainbow jerseys.

The NHL has shown this was just a PR stunt and doesn’t actually have the backs of its fans. Now, those 2-3 players have somehow forced a multi-billion dollar corporation to completely roll over and drop any pretense of support for the LGBT community in its entirety. I’m surprised they didn’t just fire them for causing such a headache and to help save face.

Depress_Mode , to news in The NHL bans Pride Tape, setting off a backlash from players and fans

A few players cause massive public relations nightmare for being bigots, and your conclusion is to get mad at the public and not the bigots? That’s a terrible conclusion.

Depress_Mode , to lemmyshitpost in Safety First

Yeah, those kids aren’t even at the camp anymore, they all went out for a morning-after pill.

Depress_Mode , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Something we can all agree on!

You’d think the internet would have come up with a new punchline than “Australia upside down lolz” since literally 2011, but here we are well over a decade later making the exact same jokes and pretending it’s still funny.

This shitposting community consistently disappoints me. Way too often, the actual shitposts only get a couple dozen upvotes. Meanwhile, we get tired, generic memes like this voted to the top. A shitpost isn’t just some random iFunny meme, but that’s all I ever seen to see coming out of here. The other top post right now is a years-old webcomic, not even edited to be a shitpost or anything.
