I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
You must log in or register to comment.
“Trad-wives” are the pick me girls’ final form. I think it’s also for women who want to do OnlyFans type work, but don’t want to be as risqué. It’s like soft core incel porn more than an actual depiction or celebration of maternity.
Paper straws were pushed by big corporate polluters to build a negative association with environmentalism.
Plastic straws are single-use plastics, but seem unexceptional by those standards. It’s almost a meme that they’re being singled out like they’re the single greatest source of plastic waste, or uniquely damaging to ocean life.
On top of that, there are way better ways of reducing straw usage. I’ve used bioplastics that seemed way better. You could redesign the lids. You can do the plastic bag thing and charge people a nickel for a straw or whatever. Hell, you could just not give straws with every drink, and plenty of people will just drink from their cups and glasses. Instead, we get paper straws, something that is so obviously a bad idea it sounds like a joke, or a metaphor for a useless invention. Often served with cups and lids made entirely out of plastic.
So you get a bunch of people who have their drinks kind of ruined by a frustrating straw. It’s a small thing, but it’s just a little nudge away from environmentalism. You build an association with disappointment and inconvenience. Maybe it doesn’t cause a big sway, but it makes people maybe a little more anti-environmentalist than they already were, or just less passionate about environmentalism.
The people who are responsible for the turtle with the straw in the nose video where from the paper straw company. That happened right before the corn plastic straws at the market and after the video all plastic straws were banned in most metropolitan areas, that banned the corn plastic “environmentally friendly” straws before they even hit the market. The paper straws have forever chemicals in them and are essentially Teflon coated so they’re not environmentally friendly at all.
When most ocean plastic comes from nets, it’s hard to disagree.
Honestly the obsession with single use plastic seems like a distraction. Every piece of plastic in landfill is oil that isn’t burnt.
Every price of plastic in the landfill is oil that was extracted, processed, and required oil burning to get processed. And we do that for something that will be used once. Plastic in the landfill is not a net positive.
Conspiracies like flat earth are put in the spotlight to make real conspiracies look stupid.
Ooh, a spicy one for a place like lemmy.
Tankies play a similar function in different context
Scar was the hero in The Lion King.
Elaborate.
Rule under Mufasa was essentially an oligarchy, with oppression everywhere. Unlike the other RACIST lions, Scar would spend time with the hyaenas, providing them food and protection. He skipped the crowning of a new pampered little shit, and after getting shit from his king brother he had had enough - he ended the bloodline.
His first act was to remove oppression, giving equality for all. Then a huge natural disaster happened, absolutely no fault of Scar’s, and life was harsh.
Then, Simba the little prick just fucks off, lives the dream in luxury like the pampered little asshole he is, and then decides “fuck it, this is too nice, let’s bring back the racism”. He comes back, plants doubt through a hate campaign and the hyaenas kill Scar. The drought ends, Simba brings back oppression, and has another little cunt kid.
Scar was a hero. He undid years of ruthless oppression against other species, and got shit for it because the land was left in a poor state and couldn’t handle a downturn in weather.
This is spot on. Fuck Mufasa fuck Simba LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION
He killed a king, and that’s just dope.
Kitty.
The bomb has been planted.
My city has a local company that rents storage units and they have entirely too many locations relative to the population of our city such that I believe they’re a criminal enterprise. I believe they construct so many new buildings for money laundering purposes and to facilitate human trafficking and drug running out of them.
Breaking news, I just googled them and one of the owners was convicted in his 20s of trying to sell poached falcons to Saudi Arabian royalty. The plot thickens.
WafflePwn’s brother (the kid who tried shoving a remote up his ass because of Warcraft account cancellation) actually documented a true and genuine freakout. The parents forced the older brother to produce subsequent videos as a means of making it look like they were just making candid freakout videos all along, in order to protect the younger bother’s shattered public image (and probably social life).
Windows, Android, & Apple software used to nag you about installing updates endlessly. They don’t do that so much anymore. I think it’s because instead of alerts asking us to install updates, they now create network outages, software crashes, and other minor issues that require a restart. How often do you have some inexplicable problem, restart your device to fix it, and your machine is like “Hey while we’re in there we’re also installing this update we just downloaded a moment ago.”
The number of updates I’ve seen on my phone has decreased because it’s old enough to be done with feature updates. I got out of Windows before it got that bad.
Something I don’t miss from Windows was each app was responsible for its own updates, so you’d sit down to draw something in CAD or whatever and it would say “need to update to continue” so you’d have to sit there listening to the fans whine for a few minutes before you could start. This still happens occasionally on Linux because some software is just the Windows version running in some compatibility layer or something, but it happens a lot less because the package manager handles all that at once.
Some US states that keep enacting highly unpopular anti-trans, anti-woke, sexist, racist legislation are doing it in an effort to get left-aligned people to move away and not consider going there, with the goal of skewing elections in their favor.
“We oppress minorities to scare them away” is hardly a novel tactic
How is this a conspiracy, the whole red neck stereotype of “We don’t like your kind around here” shows how this has been part of common knowledge for a long time.
I’m not saying it’s obviously true, I’m saying I thought this was a popular belief.
Most politicians seem like grifters and change positions to whatever is popular with their base or donors though. So, it does seem like this is a part of some grand-plan. I don’t think many Republican politicians actually care about women’s sports or who uses which restroom, yet they manufacture outrage and campaign on it. This kind of stuff was on no “normal” person’s mind before media started focusing on it.
Couriers have tiny cameras all throughout my home and wait for me to go to the bathroom before they show up with my parcels.
Nah, they just have one, in the bathroom :)

The Bin Laden killing was a hoax. That guy died year ago because he was on dialysis machines that wouldn’t really function well somewhere deep in the Pakistani mountains. Or maybe he was actually in that house they raided at some point. But the message came out of nowhere like around the time of the reelection campaign. And they never showed a body. But then they even came up with some BS excuse that a sea burial would be Islamic tradition. Also if they really found him why wouldn’t they just arrest him and give him a process? I’m not buying it.
There are photos and a DNA test that were not shared publicly. It’ll be a good FOIA request in 50 years.
i agree. it’s very strange they immediately disposed of his body and never showed proof. and then a few years later there was that scandal where multiple people were claiming to be the seal that shot him. seems fishy to me
never showed proof
Do… do you think that these forces always snap a pic of the body they just killed and post it to social media and msm? When was the last time you saw proof of death for one of these targets taken down by special forces. I’ll wait.
If it’s Osama, yeah, absolutely.
I would definitely take some selfies if I just headshotted Osama. Like they were allegedly doing some epic firefight with him inside his bedroom? Least you can do is pose with him. But no pictures at all? I smell bullshit.
Okay that was me shitposting, but seriously, if you take down Osama out of nowhere after 10 years of silence, the lack of any kind of proof is very fishy imo.
don’t gotta be condescending friend
Music artists get paid to change their album titles.

If you haven’t heard, there is a theory that the Frozen movies exist solely to make sure if you google disney frozen or any combination of that you are shown movie stuff instead of stories of Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen so he can live in the future.
The removal of The Fairness Doctrine was a deliberate psyop of The Monied Elite to dumb down the general populace of the US to accept Capitalist propaganda and rule. Well, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s fact. Then we were bombarded by blatant capitalist propaganda for 50 years. But, but, the worst aim was to condition the general populace to casual cruelty as entertainment.
Witness how Congress has degenerated into The Jerry Springer Show and Judge Judy. And half of the populace think it’s funny, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Republican politicians daily lie their asses off, and there are no consequences. An entitled, malignant narcissistic psychopath is worshipped as a demigod. Congregations who watch Fox every night are literally telling their preachers/priests/pastors that Jesus is a woke pussy. That’s not opinion, it’s a fact.
I recall reading that Goering and Goebbels both stated that a lie that is repeated enough times becomes truth in the zeitgeist. This country is in big trouble, and I think the Heritage and Federalist stacked SCOTUS is going to appoint Trump King due to an avalanche of upcoming election lawsuits.
This country was established by rich men who didn’t want to pay taxes. But, some good things came from it. That you could speak to power without the fear of retribution. That a religious entity could not punish you arbitrarily on a whim. That the rich could not pass on their wealth and power to scions without penalty. That this country would not be ruled by a blatant aristocracy and monarchy.
I will not live in a Trump Theocratic Oligarchy. I’m an old man, with no wife and no kids. Do what you have to do, and leave if you can. The writing is on the wall. I don’t know how much more you need to see and know to wise up, but it’s here, right in your face.
Whoever downvoted this is a weak willed, submissive, sycophantic, obsequious bitch.
Also, fuck Putin.
Keep sucking that authority root, tankie weaklings.
Elon Musk is not an idiot. He was hired by other rich people like the Saudis to destroy Twitter, to prevent further incidents of public protest organization like what happened in Egypt and the Occupy movement. The degradation of the platform is intentional, and the amplification of right-wing voices helps to chase left-leaning social activists off of the platform. There is no equivalent platform for in-the-moment organization of protests.
If Cybertruck weren’t a thing, I might believe you.
This conspiracy can still be true, even if you assume Elon is an idiot.
If something looks, walks, barks and smells like a dog, chances are, it’s a dog.
The world is complicated enough as is, no need to make it more complicated.
The world is complicated enough as is, no need to make it more complicated.
But my dude, that is what conspiracy theories are for.
Fair.
Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:
All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.
We’ll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.
Whole voting districts in Georgia won’t report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.
Obviously there’s also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let’s not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.
