You Don't Matter, Give Up.

Welcome to "You Don't Matter, Give Up."

This community is inspired by the concept of text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner. While it shares similarities with !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works in that all of these play with the idea of misreading text, YDMGU specifically focuses on phrases that can be read in both directions, with each interpretation being valid and opposites of each other.

Important Note: This subreddit is not a place for discussions about suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with these feelings, we urge you to seek help. Please visit !suicidewatch@lemm.ee or reach out to appropriate resources for support. You matter, don't give up.

Rules

  1. Stay On-Topic: All posts should relate to the theme of YDMGU-style text. Content should convey antagonistic messages when read in different directions.

  2. Be Respectful: All members should treat each other with respect. Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  3. Quality Content: Strive for creativity and originality in your posts. Low-effort or repetitive content may be removed.

  4. No Misinformation: Ensure that any messages or themes shared are not misleading or harmful. The intent should be to uplift, even if the wording is ironic.

  5. No Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid posting spam or excessive self-promotion. This includes unrelated content or links that do not fit the community’s theme.

  6. No Rule Lawyering: Moderators have the final say in all decisions regarding content and rule enforcement. If you disagree with a moderator's decision, you are welcome to discuss it in !yepowertrippingbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Thank you. May I have another?

I can’t make sense of the text no matter how I read it.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's kinda read exactly how it's written..don't add punctuation.

'No one saves you more on milk'

(Implies that grocery store is the lowest milk price and no other store offers lower prices)

You could also add the following to the end to have it make more sense " ,but 'store name!' "

But what if this is actually a boneappletea and they spelled "moron" as "more on"?

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whenever i see text like this, i assume the big singular word is used in both sentences, so i'd add milk agaon onto the end.

That does work too (well somewhat ;) )! "No one saves! Milk you more on Milk!"

I save myself more on milk by not buying it in the first place!

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

No one saves you more on.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

"jesus saves"... postage stamps. Philatelic whore!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 month ago

[–] daepicgamerbro69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
