  • There’s unsubstantiated and nonsensical assumptions in your comment starting with assuming that anyone who doesn’t ingest alcohol does it to avoid exacerbating current health conditions, leading to those that drink moderately being healthier than those who don’t drink. That’s absurd.

    I’ll make an assumption of my own. A significant portion of your identify and social life is in “moderate” drinking and you’re very keen to justify that as “healthy.”

    I get that the heavier bowling ball affects the acceleration of the earth more than the lighter feather, but I don’t see how that means it’s falling faster as the meme is stating. The bowling ball would meet the earth first when dropped separately and from the same height because the earth is (imperceivably) accelerating toward it faster than it does the falling feather, but both the bowling ball and feather are falling at the same rate due to Earth’s gravitational force.

    Or am I missing something?

    It would take a super genius to understand that they’re either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it’s completely impossible to even guess at the point they’re trying to make through the context of every other word in their comment we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!

    Thank you, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, for adding something incredibly meaningful to the conversation and the world as a whole!

    Oh no… I just saw this comment in a different thread from 2 hours ago, and it MAKES NO SENSE:

    Doctors today face a demand form their services that, while we can’t guarantee will get them.jigher wages, can give them more leeway against unwritten political rules of speech.

    What is a doctor’s “demand form?” And “them.jigher” isn’t a term I could find anywhere on the internet! I don’t understand what the author, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, was trying to say! It’s all just gibberish!

    I feel good calling it out though. I’m sure that corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca will be grateful for my much-needed help and not think I’m a dick for detracting from their point to assert my knowledge of English grammar over them.





  • It’s true, I spent way too long replying. I usually avoid engaging but I think it was the absurdity that made me throw away what had to be at least a combined hour of my day. They knew the true nature of the universe and tried to convince an atheism group.

    It was obvious pretty quickly that they weren’t in a place where they could accept their belief being challenged, but maybe a really bored person read it all and took something away from it.
