So there was a time where the most common phrase among redditors was "the narwhal bacons at midnight" and during this time redditors were concerned about non-redditors pretending to be redditors to seem cool.

I think it's a way of denoting satire. The opinion given, like the grammar used, is intentionally bad. I think it originates with r/okbuddyretard where many of the posts are created in ways that mimic how 12 year olds on the internet speak.

Why does everything need to have personal gain to matter at all. I get the whole "no actual evidence" part. But if we actually see aliens and you're not impressed, I don't think we can be friends. Don't blame capitalism, you're just lame. Sure, there are real problems, but people throughout history have had it far worse and still managed to care about things outside of their own tiny microcosm. Many people enjoy these things not in spite of but because of their personal struggles, as they can act as an escape for a short time. If you're going to have economic troubles anyway, why spend all your time dwelling in it?

RFK Jr.'s proteinaceous food pyramid is a land hog and a climate killer
This type of stuff is unironically going to shorten the lifespan of millions of people. The keto diet is so absurd. If I wanted to invent something that technically followed the rules but was wildly unhealthy, I doubt I could come up with something as absurd as the chaffle (a waffle made of cheese), but I know people who've actually eaten them. Once I was visiting my family and started snacking on some chips, but something felt off, so I checked. It was literally just melted crispy cheese. We're going to be the first generation to have a lower lifespan than our parents.

Content leaving isn't a problem. If they give up some things they have more money to get the rights to other content, and usually by the time it leaves I've either watched it or don't want to. If it's one of the rare things I want to watch several times, I can just buy it. But cracking down on password sharing is ridiculous. They've been functioning fine with people sharing passwords. I bet the current pricing accounts for password sharing. But now people in college can't be on the family netflix? Pure greed.

When you say something is “red” it’s actually every color except red since red is the color being reflected off the object.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand copypastas. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lando's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike copypastas truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Lando's existential catchphrase "I award you no upvotes," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Lando's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a copypasta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

‘Hell on earth’: Phoenix’s extreme heatwave tests the limits of survival
Reply in thread
Why don't more people move to Flagstaff if they want to live in Arizona? Further north and higher altitude means more reasonable temperatures. They have actual pine forests in the middle of the martian-looking desert. It's really cool. Plus, they're closer to both the Grand Canyon and the Antelope Canyon, not to mention the Utah national parks. But for some reason everyone moves to Phoenix and Tucson.

Are humans the only great apes that can be "holy", or could, for example, an Orangutan be divine?
I would say that a species intelligent enough to believe in God could be divine. So I don't think orangutans or gorillas would be, but we have archaeologic evidence that Neanderthals had some form of religion, so they may also have souls.

I think the comparison is, in the eyes of Blamemeta, between a thing that is very severe and a thing that is somewhat less severe. If that's the case, equating the two must either exaggerate the severity of the latter or minimize the severity of the former. So I think Blamemeta is trying to say that it cheapens the severity of the holocaust, not realizing that the word "whitewash" implies that it's deliberate, i.e. that Acharnien also agrees that Russia's law isn't a big deal and want to use it to downplay the holocaust. But I think it's more likely they just meant to say "cheapens" instead of "whitewash" lol
