What's next; banning certain letters from the alphabet, because they can be used for banned texts?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 67 points 7 months ago

I vote we just ban DeSantis because he’s a dick. Clearly adult content…

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

He doesn't seem like much of an adult to me

[-] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 7 months ago

Erdoğan unbanned the letters Q, W and X, which can be used for Kurdish texts, in his 2013 reforms, so I think it'd be a bit too soon to re-ban them now already, so that's probably not next.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 22 points 7 months ago

I had to look this up, but it is a fact that certain letters were banned. I should not be so amazed. Back in the 1960's the Greek junta banned the letter Z, because it meant 'he is alive.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(1969_film) the movie is a fictional, but based on the actual events.

I should not be so amazed.

The one thing that amazed me was that it was Erdoğan of all people who eventually found it politically expedient to lift the ban.

No E because of Estrogen

No T because of Testosterone

No X or Y because of chromosomes

May as well also get rid of G for gender, H for healthcare, I for intersectionality, L for liberal, M for marijuana, N for nonbinary, O for orange, P for progressive, R for radical, S for socialism, U for union, and V for vaccine.

Aaaaa

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 57 points 7 months ago

I can readily understand that someone like Ron would have no idea why anybody would ever use a dictionary. 😅

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 24 points 7 months ago

The most confusing thing about dictionaries is why are they so torn on the topic of bridges?

My mom always has an “unabridged” version but mine is a regular dictionary complete with the word “bridge”.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 3 points 7 months ago

That joke is a bridge too far! 🙄

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago

There's a lot of smut in the Bible.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

You mean the incest, beastiality, rape, and obsession with virginity would be considered ban worthy?!

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Matricide patricide infanticide ..... Its got all the sides.

[-] Perhyte@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Not to mention all the genocide.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago

Other places have gone after the bible where laws like this are in place.

[-] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 7 points 7 months ago

Which is why they added exceptions for it after people got it removed.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

Maybe they go after all Christian books ,you know the ones praising the glory of Yahweh, which is just a semitic war god (if you pay attention to history).

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Once when I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon. Something about lions.

But he mixed up how to spell lions. He was old. So all the Bible verses he used were actually about loins.

That was a funny lesson and complete waste of time.

But there are a lot of loins in the King James Version

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I remember that someone actually challenged the bible because of that.

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 36 points 7 months ago

Why does he always look like he just got done crying?

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Have you seen his poll numbers?

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 5 points 7 months ago

He also looks like both Joe Dirt's and Ricky's (Trailer Park Boys) dad. How fitting for a Floridaman.

[-] lntl@lemmy.ml 18 points 7 months ago

How does Desantis cope with the internet? Is it banned in Florida too?

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Still here. For now.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I thought this was an onion article? Can someone confirm if this is satire? It doesn’t seem like a satire site but I still thought I would check. Because if not… I don’t even know what to say. I don’t even know.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

I mean it’s kinda satire in a way. Only one school district is interpreting the law this copiously. The others don’t seem to have trouble understanding the spirit of the law.
