Thanks for the explanation.

Does Matrix bridge somehow mean I can use something other than WhatsApp to send messages to people who refuse to use an alternative?

High quality shitposting? No thank you.

Shitposting doesn’t have to be funny, but I got a chuckle from that title

I get all my cat’s dietary advice from this shitposting community, so if you wouldn’t mind being less antagonistic towards the users posting valuable information that would be appreciated.

They even join her up on hunting stands

Are you talking about the human, or just failed to do any critical thinking here?

Taking a cat on a camping trip is hardly an ecological disaster. Permanent outside cats in the wrong places might be depending on where you live, but this post is just not comparable.

I don’t think OP thinks they are actually equivalent though, it’s just a satirical comparison.

Another comparison could be vegans. Environmental impact of meat consumption is huge and it also has the more obvious harm and ethical issues.

Vegans get a lot of shit anyway, but imagine if every comment or post about meat, regardless of where it was or in what context got a barrage of abrasive comments from vegans?

You will never convince someone of your cause if you’re a dick to them. It’s a huge internet trait to just go full meltdown at everything rather than talk with some you don’t agree with to aim for a better outcome.

I don’t know how it is where you are, but here disabled and elderly people already ride the bus for free.

I think you got a minority of downvotes to start, then others piled in. There are plenty of similar jokes in the thread that didn’t get that treatment. Also, people on the internet are generally pretty bad at reading and the venn diagram has a lot of overlap with people looking for an excuse to be offended.

This articulates my frustration with the internet/lemmy extremely well. I’ve saved it for future reference and I’m optimistically hopeful for the future when maybe this isn’t something so many people need to see.

It’s not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I’m on the internet and you read it

Can’t believe they used AI for this instead of staging the picture irl with their gran in an alligator pond.

I’ve read this response and the about section of the community and I still don’t understand, sorry. I’m not trying to be difficult but thought it might be useful to you for growing the community to know.

Better version

Surely a community poll to choose the picture? Power hungry mods forcing the custard cream agenda…

Beans never dipped. Bean hands baby, to the moon

Is a fruitarian someone who only eats fruit? Do these people exist? Do they have normal bathrooms?

Jacking off is great, so is beef stroganoff.

Aw damn, that’s not an option with fairphones
