That’s almost one cent per video. Outrageous!

I did X and this happened!

Also, if the title of a news article is in the form of a question I just mutter to myself “no” and keep scrolling without even reading it.

Agreed. Not much to relate with all the discussion about office work.

Mods on some communities are completely out of their minds. I got banned from !ukraine@sopuli.xyz simply for voicing my skepticism about how feasible it is to win back all the occupied territories and wether it would even be worth all the deaths it would require. And not only that but they delete the comment from modlog too.

I actually don’t remember that. Where was this?

It’s not a cast iron skillet problem, it’s a mental health problem.

I mean, as long as it’s your cast iron skillet.

My aunt talked her mom out of kitchen remodel because it’s going to cost so much (that she’ll get smaller ineritance then) while my grandmom, who already spends most of her time alone at home then can’t even spend her savings to make her surroundings a bit nicer.

I don’t see that. To me it reads as guilt tripping the parents for wanting to spend the money they themselves earned.

My criticism isn’t aimed at parents who want to leave an inheritance to their kids. It’s directed at those kids who expect it from their parents, as if they’re somehow entitled to it.

Inheritance from who? Your poor parents?

What on earth are you talking about? Generational wealth is not a binary thing. There are people rich enough to pass their fortune to their kids and then there are ones who can’t. That’s how it has always been and that’s how it’s always going to be.

What’s infuriating about this? Why the heck should I inherit something I haven’t worked for? I’ve always told my parents and grandparents that dying with an empty bank balance is the ideal way to go. Hell, preferably be in debt.

There’s not much left to browse if one blocks all communities on lemmy that people post politics to. You can’t even discuss electric cars or space travel anymore without people coming to tell you their opinions about Elon Musk.

It’s not even memes. People are literally posting here screenshots of political opinions that are not even intented to be entertaining. I’m pretty sure there’s a dedicated community for political memes but nah, everything needs to be injected with politics nowdays.

Not a meme.

Maybe if we just go around shooting everyone whose better off that ourselves then one day we’ll all be equally poor and miserable.

By Dawknin’s original definition (cultural) memes are ideas, behaviors, styles, or practices that spread within a culture by imitation (Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) and carry symbolic meaning. Some examples would be the “Keep Calm And Carry On” posters during WW2, the concept of the “American Dream” or toasting with glasses.

However in this context we’re talking about internet memes which is not synonymous with cultural memes. An internet meme is a picture or video that is funny, ironic, or relateable.

Not a meme.
