If he’s only looking at the front page, why is he even buying the newspaper? Can’t he see it just by walking in front of the place?
You’re right. Let’s go home folks, the joke is over.
Wait, I demand a refund for the joke.
You didn’t even buy it. You just walked past.
Bro did you even unfold the joke lmao
The joke I am looking for won’t need to be
The joke would have worked if he just went and looked at the front page but never bought the paper. No reason to have such a dumb oversight, it makes the joke worse.
See, the West even wants jokes more efficient.
No, no, you have to know, they don’t understand our rebellion by working to rule - let the seller snap, not us…
…but, Ockam’s Razor…
It’s hopeless.
That’s like stealing!
You wouldn’t download a newspaper!
I think the joke would make more sense if the guy picked up the newspaper, unfolded it to see the entire front page, and then put it back and never bought it, day after day. The seller would still get mad because the guy never buys it, he only looks at the front page headline.
Maybe in Soviet era Russia, it is implied that you must purchase the newspaper before you unfold it?
In Soviet Russia, the newspaper unfolds YOU.
Holy shit I want this as a shirt because it applies to whomever the reader interprets and thats always a good thing.
I’m p sure quite some people would look at that and say “Not cool to wish someone dead, bro.”
Old joke.
Russian history books only need to be five words long.
“…And then, it got worse.”
Im just trying to imagine the level of state level lunatic copium that unleashes when Vladimir Putin dies. Imagine the theatrics and clownery that was North Korea when Kim Jong Il died, except its a country that’s been radicalized and mobilized by fascist wartime propaganda, I quite think they’ll start shooting each other out of rage and grief.
The entirety of NATO will have to preemptively go to the equivalent of DEFCON 2 upon learning that the tZar has died.
Not just that, but imagine the shitshow that .ml will be. They lose their minds if you so much as even think to criticize their beloved dictator.
I’m pretty sure they love him far more than Russians do.
what’s .ml ?
Lemmygrad.ml and Lemmy.ml. There’s also Hexbear.
I’d advise avoiding those instances. Block them if you can.
Im still new to lemmy and unsure how the whole thing works, I’m redditbrained.
Think of .ml as a Russian-run communist version of Reddit where the moderation is exponentially more strict and what you’re allowed to talk about is determined by those that run the instance.
Essentially it’s a near perfect example of what it would be like if North Korea and Russia united into one giant shithole of a political ideology, and then yarfed up its propaganda into one self-contained social media site.
I mean I understand the tankie thing, the instance thing was what I didnt understand.
There is no one “Lemmy”. Different people host different copies that sync with each other, but they all have their own moderators. Lemmy.ml is run by “davel” so just do a web search for “davel mod” to learn about the reputation they’ve earned.
