I’m going in and out of cell service right now, so it took me a while to search, but I assume this is the shitpost that is causing arguments in the other threads.

1st off: Grumpus, I could be wrong, but I really doubt these people upset with you are reddit shills. I think a lot of the Lemmy userbase simply doesn’t like this type of humor.

2nd: Shitposts, by definition, are usually intended to be stupid and provocative, which this one clearly is. The reddit link is a good example of people taking it as shock humor rather than seriously, and that’s usually how a shitposting community operates. If there were a pattern of this user or other users clearly trying to stir up some racist agenda, that would be different, but for now, my inclination is to keep it up and let people upvote/downvote however they think is best.

(My cells service isn’t strong enough to upload a screenshot atm, but here’s a link to the Merriam-Webster definition of a shitpost that I’m referencing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shitpost)

They’re way more dangerous. The last time I was in a helicopter, the pilot kept trying to get us over a mountain ridge, but the low air density at that elevation kept causing the blades to be ineffective and would drop us. After a handful of tries, he gave up, and we went around.

I’ll probably never fly in one again.

She’s all over. It’s great.

It’s essentially a one-man show.

How have I missed this news??

(actually, I don’t know whether to be excited or to dread this)

Slim Jim, the official sponsor of Kirk-fu

Now that you mention it, maybe the kids should be telling the closest police officer about the “sexy puppeteer”…

Damn you, I was in a ranked game!

Everything related to the internet was so unserious and fun.

A blacklist for words is such a lazy solution, lol.

I remember back in the old days of Westwood, their online games had a strict list of bannable words, and it was always fun to bait people into using them with seemingly innocent questions. “Hey, I’m doing a history report on WWII, does anyone know the name of the leader of the SS? Himm-something?”

Some poor schmuck: “You mean Himmler?”

<SYSTEM> User “Poor Schmuck” has been banned for 6 hours.

So much old school Onion was brutal like this, lol.

Wait until you see what kind of crazy controls we’re using in 2070.

Ah, that clears it up a lot…

Oh! That could’ve been my mistake. I typed ö with the dots instead of ő with the little lines. Thanks

I’m reading now that the ő suffix makes it refer to a person?

This is so interesting and also so overwhelming, lol. Thank you. I remember you (I think) mentioning to look out for the endings of words before.

I’ve heard of some other languages doing something similar. For example, I’ve been trying to learn a bit of Danish recently, and they’ll sometimes tack on an -et to the end of a word to say “the”. I know German is supposed to be a language where you can frequently combine a bunch of words, but I’m not exactly sure how it works. Languages are fun.

It does look like an early one, but so far it’s been rare to find a source with print dates for individual strips.
