Some habits are best left behind. I'd like to see Lemmy continue to set quality above quantity instead of bow to social trends.

I kind of miss the kind of gimmick users that made you genuinely say "yeah, the user name does check out here".

Came here to say this.

*Edit: thank you kind stranger!

Username checks out can be very funny since it often well… leads to the username and adds another layer of joke.
It needs to fit though of course.

It'll show up in any internet community eventually, don't worry.

This guy reddit

Please tell me what "based" even means so I can misuse it amongst a bunch of 12 year olds and make them fucking stop.

[–] sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social 15 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Crack = freebasing cocaine = base.
Bay Area rapper Lil B used to be insulted by people who called him "based", essentially meaning crackhead. He reappropriated it to mean outspokenly being yourself while actively disregarding what anybody else thinks, and started also going by Based God. That's it.

Python people be like: self.

[–] ShrimpsIsBugs@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

I only partly agree. The part remembers all those situations where a comment on reddit almost made me spit out my coffee while at work because I found it truly hilarious

[–] Spambox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It'd be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.

Underrated comment.

[–] Alexxxolotl@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

God this comment section is giving me a headache. Well done, folks.

I will say Reddit and lemmy are the only sites where comments genuinely make me laugh sometimes
