obligatory copypasta

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn’t know it’s fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone blurred a very small part of there of five letters making it impossible to read the word “shit”. I was about to shit a fucking brick.

fuck

edit: @[email protected] took the time to edit it to remove the censor, so I changed the image in the post to that. Thanks!

    To your comment: not only that, it’s a censor of an already censored curse word, “fkn” of course meaning fucking. This is one of the more egregious censors I’ve ever seen.

      It’s censored because a very specific country from which a lot of social media comes from has been created by puritans. Which even centuries later, has people repressing such basic things as sex, cursewords, nudity. Including text / graphical filters that will bury your content and show it to noone, if you don’t do it.

        Bro this started in TikTok which is decidedly Chinese and not Puritan. Though it can be puritanical in the broadest sense.

          Agreed, the beginning of the end of involuntary-only censorship happened when Tiktok got popular. The older generations try to find the limits of allowable content on platforms (within reason) but the younger ones effectively self-castrate everything they post everywhere. And it’s because one app owned by a Chinese company is a bit strict about it. It’s disappointing.

    What is the optimum angle to secure such a device for the maximum result? Asking for science.

    Also, I wouldn’t ever glue/tie/epoxy one of these. I’d do four in various places.

    Anybody have a pic of the underside of a Cybertruck? Need to scope out a place with airflow but limited visibility.

    There is at least one asshole in my general area who needs a come-uppance.

        David Attenborough or Samuel L. Jackson whichever you choose:

        Here, in its natural habitat…the back side of a surban sprawl…The Tesla Cybertruck finds itself in a most vulnerable position. Its angular frame, designed for dominance on the open road, now proves to be its ‘greatest’ disadvantage. On its back, the beast is utterly helpless, its tires spinning futilely against the air, seeking traction where none exists.

        If left unaided, it must rely on the intervention of a benevolent passerby…or, in rare instances, a particularly determined group of MAGA… to restore it to its upright posture.

        Nature, as ever, is indifferent to the plight of even the most advanced machines…

    I’ve had to bring this up elsewhere, but could we please stop making and reposting unnecessarily censored memes? The obscured word here is ‘FKN’, not even ‘fucking’. This isn’t Tiktok, these alterations are kind of gratuitous…

        that’s kinda disingenous, the thing about censorship is that it’s inherently submitting to a higher authority, which for obvious reasons people have started realizing fucking sucks actually.

        censoring yourself is giving power to the platforms and people who want to run our lives and make people suffer for their own profit.

            If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to “f*ck” doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like “!@#*”, now you’re just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn’t you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

            Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said “fkn”. That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it’s also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn’t contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that “fkn” is a no-no word? Nobody asked.

    Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.

      nah it’s just a f-u-n harmonica and some of us don’t like that.

      but fkn is already a way to censor fucking, which is what’s f*nny about it.

    Looks like censoring fuck caused too much trouble on my instance. What was the word that got censored?
