To be Shōgun, you must first master the Onion 🧅

Gork ,

That's how I feel every time I have to mow the lawn even though I'm renting from them.

Free labor for them.

Gork ,

In my case yeah. Sucks but me mowing the lawn is still cheaper than hiring a company to do it.

So I pretend to be Hank Hill once a week.

"Who needs drugs when you could mow a lawn?"

Gork ,

The Cockneys, or alternatively the Fr*nch

Gork ,

I never found any of those hanging air fresheners to be even remotely effective. They might be good for about 5 minutes after you take it out of the package. Then it becomes waste like everything else.

Gork ,

Do viruses control our Congress critters like the brain worms do?

Gork ,

I'm convinced that Count Dooku was a character quickly shoehorned in as a villain when the filmmakers got pushback from execs for having Jar Jar Binks as the actual Sith Lord (with Palpatine merely being the Apprentice).

It all makes sense (r*ddit)

Gork ,

What're the benefits and salary of this position?

Do I need to provide my own Samurai sword, or will one be provided by the Clan?

Gork ,

It's one of those things where a guy knows a guy, and they'll contact you in a dark alley outside a Pachinko shop.

Gork ,

They're covering their ears because her jet engines are super loud.

Gork ,

It would have been good if they put in the Amendments, because you know, it's the Constitution as Amended.

Gork ,

Gotta bump up that subscriber count somehow. Remember to like the video and SMASH that subscribe button!

Gork ,

Let's hope this isn't an Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment. Last thing we need is full blown escalation in an already fractured geopolitical situation that could lead to WWIII.

Gork ,

Lemmy is good but very, very small in comparison to Reddit.

For example, /r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers. Lemmy has around 51k active users across the entire platform and all of it's communities. And /r/mildyinteresting is a misspelling of the even more popular /r/mildlyinteresting (23.4 million subscribers).

Even some of the niche gaming communities are larger on Reddit (/r/Kenshi, 145k; /r/factorio, 370k).

However, the small community feel is much more pronounced here on the federated Lemmy servers. You'll see the same names pop up so everyone isn't a complete stranger. Third party app support is miles ahead of Reddit's crappy app. And if you don't like your instance for any reason you can hop to another one easily.

You'll see certain trends on trending communities here. There's a lot more posts on Linux, Star Trek, and Tech news that isn't as pronounced on Reddit unless you subscribe specifically to them. The meme community is top notch though and doesn't have the incel and misogyny issues that plague Reddit.

Gork ,

The thing I find most perplexing about those communities is that although they themselves support marginalized communities, they also defend highly authoritarian regimes (Russia, China) that actively persecute said groups. It's very strange to see that horseshoe wrap-around effect where at times they have the same things in common with the right wing but for entirely different reasons.

Just get an Apple Airtag and have him carry it around in his pocket (just make sure he doesn't leave in there it so it doesn't accidentally get washed). If you need to see if he's at home just check it's location with your phone. Place it on a keyring with a house key.

Gork ,

Little birdie has gotta be the Duolingo bird.

Gork ,

The nutty putty cave guy is merely a Saddam Hussein at an 80° angle.

Gork ,

mmm a whole pallet of blueberries for dinner

Gork ,

I wonder what caused the alphabet to essentially get mirror flipped from archaic Latin to Roman.

Gork ,

They gonna cook some meth while they're at it?

Gork ,

No thanks, I'll stick with my unpatched IE 6 instead.

Gork ,

I found the recent incel-ish responses on various Lemmy communities to the bear meme to be off-putting. Granted, it's much worse on Reddit but I would have expected better on this platform.

Gork ,

I don't have a particular Lemmy link, but here's a general overview from knowyourmeme.

Gork ,

Hmm why aren't RGB coffins a legit thing? These casket makers need to get with the times and understand their audience lol

Gork ,

I would have hoped that before putting this implant in the guy's brain that they had a plan for what to do in this situation. Like coming up with a method to potentially reseat the retreated "threads" it without invasive surgery. Especially if this it's a recurring issue.

Gork ,

Baby Formula! Now with 12% less Lead than the leading brand!

Gork ,

Hmm that's a tough trade-off. More developmental disabilities, but is the Value™ really there to justify the decreased cost?

Gork ,

Uh yeah this emperor was a creep.

The emperor's pursuit of immortality included engaging in sexual relations with young girls, of which he and Tao Zhongwen collected 960 for this purpose.

Gork ,

auto-auto-automatons

We would need some mathematicians to generalize this to the entire set though. Then we'd have the more elegantly named auto-Natons which is valid for any positive integer N.
