I sense that most people don’t realize this is a old meme joke and this format is similar to the Successful Black Man or Dating Site Murderer memes, where there is an intended re-direct punchline in them. At first, people most likely think this is going to be some bigotry meme at the expense of Arab people, but it’s not. It’s a re-direct and reference to an old meme called Boom Goes the Dynamite. If you found this to be in bad taste or the like, I can understand. And that is your prerogative. I know my intent, morals and values, and gave this meme a shot.

I found your shirt really weird and off putting. But by golly am I gonna support you and others like you to have the freedom to wear and share these things online. It’s not my cup of tea you might say, but that shouldn’t lead to others preventing you from liking it and or sharing it. So get down with your “weird” self!

For sure, start with !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world and !lemmy411@lemmy.ca

And here are some of my favorite communities I would recommend.

That’s the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn’t decide on one term that I’ve heard more than the other, so I’ll share them all.

• Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement

• Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact

• The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value

Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.

…

This kind of act isn’t as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.

You’re doing better than at least 1/3 of the world. (This comment is not backed by science. Just by a feeling.)

Thank you for the reply. That clears things up for me.

Can I get a ELI5 on why IPv6 is bad or not very good?

That’s because it’s not representing the beginning of Lemmy but rather a point in time after.

Makes sense. Raptor Jesus was his name after all.

That is some weird enshitification right there. Looks down at my 2012 G500 that recently got new mouse click actuators added to it by me. You’re doing just fine old friend! (It could use a new mouse wheel kit though.)

!standupcomedy@lemmy.world would enjoy this.

WE’RE NUMBER 1 (in something that nobody in their right mind should desire to be) WE’RE NUMBER 1 WE’RE NUMBER 1

I’m genuinely curious what would happen if the US lost nearly all of their foreign investors and all/nearly all of their major trading partners. (I understand that this is highly unlikely, but so was the thought that another world war would happen and happen in less than 50 years. I’m also tired of holding my breath on these things…)

Fingers for eyelashes. If can bend them, this is even better. That means I can flip people off with “my eyes” and in rare occasions, quadruple flip people off.

Oh my bad. I guess I forgot to check the recent feed. Have a good one.

As somebody that cares too much about Lemmy and the Fediverse surviving… I BEG YOU! PLEASE, please, please… be a bit more willing to post and comment. If everyone was willing to spend a little time looking for new content to post to a few of the niche communities that they’re part of, (especially the least active communities,) and posted once a month or so, we wouldn’t have so many “dead” communities. And this would lead to a more rich experience on the Fediverse.
