  • I saw a comic reposted on Lemmy about 2 worms and the presumably female worm asks her partner “Would you still love me if I was a big booty Latina?”.

    Apparently that comic itself is a commentary on another recent trend of women on Tiktok asking their partners if they would still love them if they were a worm.

    So, a few layers there. Not entirely sure if related, or just confirmation bias, but seeing the phrase “Big Booty Latinas” here on Lemmy twice in as many days seems more than coincidental. 🤔






  • When I was in school we read Animal Farm, but instead of 1984 they had us read Brave New World. It seemed like a more accurate commentary at the time. Just everyone blissfully unaware and high on “soma” and trivial entertainment. Bread and circuses as it were. Crazy to see what a sudden turn to 1984 we’ve taken in just a few months.







  • I know there has to be a non zero number of people who thought this way, but I have to wonder how much of this sentiment was stirred up by say Russian bots and paid bad faith actors.

    I’m getting the same vibes now when I see all the “bold of you to assume there will be elections”, without fail on any post or comment that brings up the next elections. Trying to drive this idea and normalize it.

    Like how advertising works, eventually a percentage of people who have seen Cola Brand ads enough times will want to buy Cola Brand.
