There are a few people that I’m certain are just spamming nonsense posts for attention. It’s especially bad in political communities but even externally there’s no reason some people need to ask 5 variations of the same question over the course of 2 hours.

I’ve started being able to recognize if a post is going to be stupid based on who’s putting it up and honestly I really should just block them.

I always heard it starting with:

"You have 300 bricks and you throw one as far as you can, how many do you have left?

299"

The elephant to the river is the same but this joke is told about someone else crossing the river instead. Finally it ends with:

"But… They still don’t make it across, why?

Because you threw a brick at them!"

This user is a troll. In a month they’ll edit the post to say nothing and then move on to the next troll.

The fact that he hasn’t been arrested yet or had his security clearance removed yet is fucking wild

Looking at OPs post history… They missed one actually

There’s are two big aspects here actually.

The Godfather series was the authors first ever screenplay. He famously had no idea what he was doing and didn’t really understand the scriptwriting format yet. He has a famous anecdote where after the movies came out he went to try and actually learn how to write a movie and he saw his own work as an example of what to do.

It’s The Godfather Part 2, the sequel to an already successful movie that later became known as one of the best films of all time… There’s a juxtaposition there where it would be expected for there to be mastery involved but the thing above is stating that it was so poorly written that the great story and the success of the previous one wasn’t enough for any studios to want to make it.

However… I think you can safely ignore both as I don’t think the guy who originally made it was thinking more than “damn this is some good kush”

I’m attempting to just… Do things… Instead of being intensely perfectionist about it…

And now we have Quak

I think the main problem is that Babylon Bee isn’t funny…

It’s really easy to make fun of anyone on the left (we do it all the time to ourselves) yet somehow 90% of the Babylon Bee is nothing more than a failed stand up comedian in a small town hoping that saying something offensive will make his parents love him.

Them moving their mouth too much made the AI think they were distracted driving and would dock them for it.

Every single pic was just a super standard selfie. I’m surprised there wasn’t more to it.

No actually! This joke was originally posted on Quora in like 2017? I think?

Yeah that’s valid. Mascot horror kinda killed a lot of horror games for me.

I’m far more likely to support something if I know the creator is excited about it and you kinda have to be in order to post on a platform as small as Lemmy.

What more is there to learn about trump? Who is that 1/10??? What?!

Why are people downvoting? This seems like a cool game

Best trailer I’ve seen since Minecraft

Libertarians are some of the funniest people on the planet. They just say literally anything about what they believe and I can’t stop laughing.

Aww big bad government is stopping companies from harvesting human bodies for profit? That’s so sad…

The golden rule is inherently flawed. Treating others how you want to be treated doesn’t work because they aren’t you…

I always preferred the platinum rule: treat others the way they want to be treated.

That description does not make me see this as promising

On a practical and serious level, I know that…

But it gets me every time because the wording sounds so final! It doesn’t actually impact any of my movie plans but it does make me chuckle when I see it.

Something about the phrase “exclusively in theaters on [date]” always makes me laugh.

Why would they spend this much money on marketing if they were exclusively putting it in theaters for 1 day? Wouldn’t it be better to at least get the weekend or longer?

What if I’m busy that day?
