I hereby propose the Lemmy Institute of Memetics where we will experiment with meme mutations and see which evolutions have the most mental stickiness and sharability.

It’s almost like the general populace NEED TO BE TAUGHT about what makes up the government and what it does.
Look, whatever political philosophy you ascribe to, you need to understand what government institutions exist and what they do so:
You can understand where your tax is being spent.
Which ones you should contact for the appropriate service or issue resolution.
When you start becoming politically aware, you can form opinions on how you think these functions should or should not be performed by your ideal institution (or individuals).
And
These institutions, like anything built by humans, need to be maintained, upgraded, remodeled, or replaced effectively for human society to continue to exist. You’ll have ideas about what ones, why, and how and we should get to hear about those ideas and discuss them.
That ONLY happens properly when people have at least some idea of what they’re talking about.
Else this is what you get; some unelected Muppet treating it like a spaghettied server and pulling random ethernet cables out and listening for what screams.
I see some of you have never played Battleshits before.
Rules are as follows:
Two people enter a toilet cubicle each and proceed to try and shit.
The first one to shit wins.
If both players have shitted then the size of the shits is judged and the largest shit wins.
It is a puerile and crass game of speed, deception and defiantly not for the weak-stomached as I found out to my own detriment as a spectator.
This has been your daily reminder that we are all just slightly more evolved apes with access to the power of gods.
The gun culture in the US is derived from shooting trespassers on your property when it was a colony because the British learnt from the Spanish colonies it’s much easier just to get your colonists to do self defence rather than having to deploy your own army everywhere.
The whole “well organised militia” part of the 2nd was just the founding farthers fan-boying over Switzerland being a republic in a sea of monarchies. Might have started out that way, but as soon as the US had imperial ambitions outside of it’s own continent that requires a professional federally controlled military and therefore the militia model is obsolete.
So really the 2nd amendment as a means of securing personal freedom from tyranny was and has been not much more than a comfort blanket for libertarian-minded Americans.
Sadly it is in one respect only: financial services.
And that’s the only reason why they’re interested; so the City (of London, not Greater London) has more freedom to invest into these AI start-ups and get their big payout when they grow large enough to move head office to the US.
Unfortunately these buffs don’t stack. And the effect only works when constructing large enough engineering feats where people have to look straight up to see the whole thing.
He looks like a ghoul.
I’m not disagreeing but that’s a bold claim about the US economy. Please share your sources, I’d like a read.
So yes that is all true.
However, the mental link of the name “Swastika” with the Nazis has had 90 years of reinforcement in popular culture.
If you want to perpetuate a meme that annoys Elon and damages the Tesla brand (because I think they still spend $0 on marketing) then:
Now you know how machinists feel about CNC.
The hell is that second image?
Then try pardoning a 5.56
Sir, this is c/mildlyinfuriating, let me whinge in peace.
Did you get a video? You know, so in the future nazi sympathisers get what they rightly deserve?
Controversial, but the kids have to die for the idiot adults to learn their lesson.
It’s a tragedy because they have little to no agency. But these morons, like those who refuse vaccines, need to watch their kids suffer and die to feel the consequences for themselves to understand why safety regulations are written in blood.
What wind speed will cause you to topple over?
On a more serious note, have you found any particular activities or sports where your unique genetics have given you an advantage?
Suggest they should get a mail order bride then, or stop being such an unlikable cunt by raising their self-respect standards.
In my experience they seem to shut up when you suggest that.
Now listen here you little shit…
