I've used this joke IRL with our cats. There's another one for dogs:

A guy and a dog walk into a bar. The bartender says, "hey, you can't bring a dog in here."

The guy says, "this is no ordinary dog. He's a talking dog."

Bartender says, "yeah? Prove it." The guy turns to the dog and says, "What's on top of the building?" And the dog says "Roof! Roof!"

Then the guy says, "How does a brick feel?" The dog says "Rough! Rough!"

The guy then says, "Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time?" The dog says "Ruth! Ruth!"

They are thrown out of the bar.

When they're out on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "So, you think I should have said DiMaggio?"

Reject modernity. Embrace tradition.

When I was a yout, they had trucks with a huge tank and a sprayer on the back. The truck would drive all the country roads spraying the dirt with waste oils. This was done to keep the dust down. Smelled terrible. Miles and miles of dirt roads that ran all around by rivers and lakes.

It is crazy to think about that now.

Lemmy users lack nuace and it stops actual discussion.

Agree. Reddit was the same thing if not worse. Nuance is [apparently] dead and if you do not explain everything from the dawn of Man to cover your thought, people pick the comment apart like carrion as if you've never thought about anything deeply before. They might even gloss over things you did say and attempt to invalidate or discredit your post because only they hold the Truth of the Internet handed down from the Elders. It can be a bit frustrating.

Controlled opposition.

A false story is pushed that Amazon will reveal tariff pricing. The government pushes back hard and threatens Amazon. Amazon backs down.

The truth is Amazon never planned on revealing anything at all. They are playing a role to help this asshole administration. This process serves as a warning to any other businesses that talk about revealing anything to do with tariff price increases and stifling the discussion.

This keeps a large block of the populace in the dark about the matter.

Name them. Bosch does this with some functions too. I bought the model below and didn’t care about delayed start or whatever. I am not loading your app!

I swear we need to start some appliance hacking clubs or something to sidestep this crap.

Many years ago, we had a troubled employee leave work very mad. He was quite furious with his computer and went home for his revolver unbeknownst to us. He came back to work with it and unloaded all six rounds into the system. Each round went through the case and each one missed the drive/motherboard/videocard. So, the system was still working despite the abrupt extra cooling holes. This further incensed him and he went away even madder, but this time in cuffs.
