Go fuck Yourself.
I’m not sure what prompted that, but if you’re upset about something, I’m open to discussing it. If this is just for fun, well, that’s an interesting way to start a conversation. People have different ways of expressing themselves, and if this is yours, I’ll take it in stride. There are plenty of ways to engage, though, and this one doesn’t seem particularly productive.
If your goal was to offend me, you’ll have to try harder. Words only carry as much weight as we allow them to, and I don’t take things like this personally. The internet is full of knee-jerk reactions, insults, and flippant remarks, but they rarely have the impact people think they do. If anything, they often reveal more about the person saying them than the one they’re directed at.
On the other hand, if you’re actually frustrated, I’d rather address the issue than trade insults. Clarity gets you further than hostility. If something I said or did rubbed you the wrong way, let’s talk about it. I can take criticism just fine, but I prefer it to be constructive. Insults are easy; meaningful discussion takes effort.
If this is meant as a joke, I’ll assume you have a sharp sense of humour. I can roll with that, but let’s keep it entertaining rather than just crude. A well-placed bit of sarcasm or wit can be fun, but straight-up profanity doesn’t have much creativity to it. If you’re going for an edgy, rebellious vibe, at least make it interesting.
Communication is a two-way street. If you’ve got something on your mind, I’d rather hear it directly than through aggression. I can engage with sharp remarks, humour, or even heated debate, but random hostility is just noise. If you’ve got a point, make it. If you don’t, this isn’t much of a conversation, is it?
There’s a certain efficiency to rudeness, but it rarely accomplishes much. A bit more substance would make for a better exchange. If you’re trying to push buttons, I’d ask why that’s the approach you’ve chosen. If it’s frustration, let’s unpack it. If it’s just for the sake of being rude, then that’s a bit uninspired.
Regardless, I’m still here. If you want an actual conversation, I’m happy to engage. If not, well, that’s your call. But life’s short—why waste time on empty words when you could say something that actually matters?
Yeah, I just copy+paste LLM responses and see how far I can go with it. Minimal effort; many triggers. It’s the age of apathetic trolling. Best they waste their time on whatever the hell was said in the paragraphs above—I certainly didn’t read it—than continue elsewhere being some shithead to someone.
The main reasons given by people to explain why they hang their toilet paper a given way are ease of grabbing and habit.[8]
The over position reduces the risk of accidentally brushing the wall or cabinet with one’s knuckles, potentially transferring grime and germs;[9] makes it easier to visually locate and to grasp the loose end;[10] gives the option to fold over the last sheet to show that the room has been cleaned;[11] and is generally the intended direction of viewing for the manufacturer’s branding, so patterned toilet paper looks better this way.[12]
The under position provides a more tidy appearance, in that the loose end can be more hidden from view;[13][14] reduces the risk of a toddler or a house pet such as a cat unrolling the toilet paper when batting at the roll;[15] and in a recreational vehicle may reduce unrolling during driving.[16]
Partisans have claimed that each method makes it easier to tear the toilet paper on a perforated sheet boundary.[17]
The over position is shown in illustrations with the first patents for a free-hanging toilet-roll holders, issued in 1891.[18]
Various toilet paper dispensers are available which avoid the question of over or under orientation; for example, single sheet dispensers, jumbo roll dispensers in which the toilet roll is perpendicular to the wall, and twin roll dispensers.[19] Swivelling toilet paper dispensers have been developed which allow the paper to be unrolled in either direction.[20][21
And go fuck Yourself You magnificent fuck.
We are wasting the internet. Good 👍
Not gonna lie, I was expecting this to end with The Undertaker throwing Mankind off Hell In A Cell.
I can’t believe shittymorph died
Oh no!
But what does ja rule think of this??
As in the meme or the actual author?
Neither, that’s why I can’t believe it
I’m new to Lemmy, but it seems very peaceful. Especially compared to reddit.
Most of the arguments here are political but the participants are usually different from reddit. On lemmy you get communists arguing with liberals or anarchists or other communists more than you get libertarians, conservatives, or fascists making fools of themselves. Usually it doesn’t move past snark though
I’ve been told to kill myself a few times on this platform, but the moderators and administrators tend to remove those comments pretty quickly. I’ve had entire arguments that I only knew about because of the mod log
It’s like reddit in the olden days. Becoming mainstream isn’t necessarily positive (but still inform as many people as possible about the fediverse, we’re far from becoming mainstream and if it happened we’d witness decentralised open source software becoming mainstream which is unbelievably good)

When someone gets in a clever retort.
the inventor of gifs clearly stated it was pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter.
“jif” is therefore more accurate.
If the inventer of bridges told you you were supposed to jump off them, would you?
Guessed the link before I clicked it :-)
No, but I would acknowledge that the bridge was designed for jumping off of it
Similarly, we can recognise that the gif creator intended for it to be said jif, and also not use that pronunciation because it’s dumb, and we hate it.
See? It works both ways.
If a person intentionally mispronounced your name because they thought it was dumb would you consider it rude?
No? Because I don’t give a shit?
A name is just a label. A sound or set of symbols in an order that inspires the concept of that thing in someone else. In the case of someone’s name, mispronouncing my name either has one of two consequences: 1. I don’t hear it. My ear is keen on people saying my name (the way it’s normally said), so if your pronunciation is too far off from how my name is normally said, my ear may not “hear” it, thinking you’re taking to someone else and I will more or less ignore that you’ve “said my name”… OR, when you address me with the wrong pronunciation, I will recognise that the sounds you’ve chosen to use for me, while not typically the sounds associated with the concept of my self, are indeed referring to the same thing.
I comprehend what you mean, and that’s the important bit. The letters/sounds used are secondary to the point effectively being understood.
I’ve been called by all kinds of names, plenty that sound like mine, there’s a very common name that starts with a J that sounds like mine that I’ve gotten a lot, and I’ve even been called by completely different names, and I generally could not give less of a shit about it. Unless the speaker is a friend, or someone I care enough about to value their opinion, then why would I care?
Did something happen to you?
Too many things to count.
thought so.
For your edification, no, you shouldn’t jump off any bridges just because someone told you to.
I’ll cut you
I hold 'em, you punch 'em!
It’s pronounced “cat.”
As a sign of your appreciation, you will cat me, gifting me a small feline companion.

This argument makes no sense to me because the rule that every letter of an acronym has to sound like it does in the start of it’s word doesn’t apply to other acronyms that people commonly use.
Laser - Light amplification by stimulated emition of radiation. Note that it is commonly pronounced lazer, but the word isn’t pronounced ztimulated.
YOLO - You only live once. Note that “once” starts with a “w” sound, but YOLO ends in a ō sound.
SIM (as in SIM card) - subscriber identification module. Note that identification starts with the “eye” sound, but we don’t pronounce it sīm.
I could go on, but I think I’ve made my point
Only the first letter should match, then the rest of it is pronounced like a word, in whatever pronunciation sounds coolest.
Also, all abbreviations should be pronounced like words, that’s why we have those new Internet abbreviation words like “loll”, “lemow”, “roffle”, “roff-lemow” “wutf” etc.
“I need to charge my phone, do you have an usba to usbsy cable?”.
Now calling it a seyem card

I always like to see this argument, that somehow mispronouncing the word “graphics” means people should mispronounce other words.
it has an “I can’t see you, so you can’t see me” vibe.
its always been pronounced “jraphics”
this gives me a great idea. thank you.
You are right, I absolutely agree.
haha, look at you, letting people sleep
Actually, it’s a Norwegian G, so the correct pronunciation would be “Yiff”
inaccurate and very satisfying.
Fun fact,
.pngfiles are pronounced “ping.”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG
Also, here’s this wonderful site that lays out practically every argument for GIF’s pronunciation as “jif,” just for fun.
HAHA, oh man, good find. That is a very funny little essay.
I’ve always said “ping”, didn’t know there was a debate there as well.
Thanks.
There’s no debate at all. /fr
Lets hold our hands together and touch some grass.
haha, I’m always curious about the people who use the phrase “touch grass”.
I never use it, and I’m outside all the time, so my intuition is that people who use the phrase actually stay inside a lot.
what do you think?
That may be true
hahhah, I could never fight with Kurtwood watching.
I pronounce it both ways. Sometimes I will even use one pronunciation over the other because it angers the person I am speaking with.
you are walking the true path.
I absolutely brought it up for giggles.
I hope you’re pronouncing that as “jiggles” :D
haha, thank you I have updated my lexicon.
everyone knows it’s prononced yiff
oh…ja!
God it feels good to be factually correct.
I read books.
Some Lemmy users write full booksHello, it’s me
Is it me you’re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
I do this with every post in Ye Power Tripping Bastards. I just can’t stop myself.
I have been there.
I feel seen.
You’re welcome

Yes
Same guy after reading all 11,200 comments on a reddit thread:
Peak entertainment
No, it’s not.
Yes it is
No it’s not.
Im doing my part!
No you’re not.
Listen buddy. I asked for your opinion!
That’s right, you did ask for it. Don’t be so obtuse.
You poo poo head!
My old man used to call me a poo poo head before he went to the store :(
Well, I hope he returns from the store eventually, jerkface.
Thanks a lot, fart breath.
Anytime, buttmunch.
He’s not your buddy, friend!
Hmmm, yes, this is very silly.
Tfw you’re about to say the perfect thing that’ll totally own them and make everyone reading along realize what a charlatan the other side is, but you get a “comment chain too deep” error.
I didn’t even know that was a thing.
