because a meetup would be a lemmon party.
"Can't have a Lemon party without old Dick."
But then what does /c/ mean?
If we're lemmings, then these are /c/liffs
/c/itrusses, duh
... okay that's pretty good
I'll be a lemming and run off /c/liffs, but you lemmons can post on /c/itrusses if you want lol
That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)
Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.
(Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)
Lemmon, it's Wednesday.
I like fediots.
I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.
Some grey federales say, they could a had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
yoo van zandt, nice
But yeah agree, federales is already a word and an ill-fitting one.
Just don't ask me to join the lemon party. Not falling for that one again
That "again" has me chuckling.
We call ourselves lemmings? That's new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.
I'm sure it's supposed to be lemurs, but really it's lemmongs.
No wait... lemmites. Sorry.
When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit... I know what I'd pick.
When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.
You're clearly operating in some kind of made up world. Lemmings is amazing.
Because lemmings are cute. Lemons are just something you squeeze the juice out of to make lemonade or just lemon water to clean your liver.
Imo, Lemmons make about as much sense as callling Kbin users Kbabs.
You say that as if it's a bad thing. Kbab is a fantastic name!
lemmon party?
Internet history and lore dictates that Lemons are something to distance yourself from an internet stand point.
It would be on par with using goatsee as the mascot, only more experienced and three of them are having a party.
I knew a lawyer-lady who was, technically, a “Miss Lemmon”.
She really hated my shitty Hercule Perot accent.
Can’t really blame her on that. Fortunately I only cracked the joke once.
I have yet to call myself a lemming as a lemmy user, but I have no objection. It's kind of satirical and amusing because in the USA when you call someone a lemming, it means they're part of the normie crowd, i.e. going to the public pool with all the lemmings or going to the lake on labor day with all the lemmings. We're doing the opposite here. We are definitely not the lemmings, they're on corporate social media.
Lemmy’s actual mascot is a Lemming so far as I know.
I like the self-aware jab. It amuses me.
I've always been a fan of Lemmonites.
since we are more than lemmy users lets just call ourselfs the feds
Good god, Lemmon.
Mind if i google myself in your office?
Of course, go ahead!
Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes
I agree with this, most social medias don't have these kinds of names for general people, sure people who make Youtube videos are Youtubers, but people who watch youtube videos are not Youtubites or something. We can just be Lemmy users, or Kbin users
Never have i seen the term "redditor" not be used in a inflammatory context. I think lemming would quickly be associated negatively due to the actions of some small group and then be generalized to all lemmy users.
It helps with posts a bit. Being able to say "fellow lemmings..." or "as a lemming..." I wouldn't use it in real life though.
Lemming (verb): the act of doing lemmy Lemm-on (noun): having erected lemmy. So only instance owners can be called lemmons. The correct term for the rest of us is: Lemmer (noun): someone who does lemmy
