But it’s been like that for two solid weeks. A lot of people simply can’t handle long stretches of heat that simply don’t stop.

I can’t think of a single good reason for anyone to actually want that. Reddit isn’t a site for content creation, it’s an aggregator. It works for YouTube because, well, it’s YouTube. It’s practically synonymous with content creation. But exactly zero people are on Reddit for that.

To be fair, I think the Zuck-bot has a better shot at eating the Muskrat’s lunch than Google+ had of taking on Facebook, because Facebook basically worked fine at the time, while Twitter is now a stinking pile of fetid garbage that not even the most avid users can excuse anymore.

That said, I’d really like to see both festering boils on the ass of the internet suffer ignominious deaths.

Yeah, holy shit, that’s really bad. A wet-bulb temperature above 32 C is considered unsafe for normal outdoor activity levels.

Since it’s southern Italy, I think it’s a given that the humidity will be high. This is going to pass right over “miserable” and on into “dangerous.”

For my fellow Americans: That’s 118.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Fun fact: That’s also the temperature of Satan’s taint.

Dude, you are not going to find a welcoming audience for your demented conspiracy theories here.

P.S. COVID-19 is real, and it’s still killing people.

That video is so fucking bizarre. It’s like someone hired a bunch of 4chan incels and edgelords to do his PR.

Wait, are you trying to say the Russia-backed Donbas “republic” was illegitimate and those separatists who were killed were actually Ukrainians?

You can’t have it both ways. You don’t get to proclaim Donbas a separate country and then claim that when those separatists were killed for waging war on Ukraine, they were Ukrainians.

Get your story straight. Either Donbas is part of Ukraine and these guys were basically terrorists trying to destroy the country, or citizens of the “Donbas People’s Republic” were killed, not Ukrainians.

Pick one.

Oh, come on… Russia started annexing Crimea and sending infiltrators into Donbas to prop up separatists at about the same time.

The fact that Russia is losing badly and becoming more and more destabilized must worry you.

kescusay , 1 year ago to worldnews in Moscow says 700,000 children from Ukraine conflict zones now in Russian territory

Ah, it’s “pretend Russia didn’t invade Crimea and start messing with shit in 2014” time, eh?

Yeah, no… Sorry, but this shit doesn’t work anymore. You guys need to get better material.

They could have the world’s tastiest chicken - like, objectively so delicious you hear angels singing when you eat it - and I would never step foot in a Chick-fil-A.

Yep. Give it time, a lot of these communities are still basically brand-new, and moderation tools are in their infancy. Long term, I don’t think Russian trolls will find Lemmy all that welcoming for their garbage.

Amazing. Not a single word of that was true.
