      That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)

      Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.

      (Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)

    When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit… I know what I’d pick.

    When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.

    We call ourselves lemmings? That’s new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.

    I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.

    I have yet to call myself a lemming as a lemmy user, but I have no objection. It’s kind of satirical and amusing because in the USA when you call someone a lemming, it means they’re part of the normie crowd, i.e. going to the public pool with all the lemmings or going to the lake on labor day with all the lemmings. We’re doing the opposite here. We are definitely not the lemmings, they’re on corporate social media.

    If lemmy users are gonna be called lemmons then the owners need to change their names to ‘Richard’.

    After all, it isn’t a lemmon party without old Dick.

    I knew a lawyer-lady who was, technically, a “Miss Lemmon”.

    She really hated my shitty Hercule Perot accent.

    Can’t really blame her on that. Fortunately I only cracked the joke once.
