      I’m quite sure the artist is winning that one. He’s riling up so many people by just repeating a single phrase.

      Like, anyone who thinks he’s serious is really not yet fit for the Internet.

        It’s my favorite argumentative tactic. I’ve been in a months long debate with youtube losers about whether one of every Pokemon would beat 1,000,000,000 (one billion) lions

            Which ones are you thinking? I had 6.

            I thought of Arceus, a fully powered up Necrozma, Yveltal, Dialga and Palkia. All of them could obliterate (or just reap life out of) the lions using nothing but their known innate abilities.

            Sixth one is either form of Hoopa, who can just make interdimentional holes of any size even at a range and without being present, and thus can both move themselves and the lions anywhere they want at will (so, lions into the sun, themselves into a real life resort in Miami with self-serve mojitos)

            But those are just the “quick” ones. Literally any pokemon who is conceivably immune to the lions wins by default. Just takes a long time. Like, Registeel and Regice are both known to endure absurd pressures and temperatures, so it’s only a question of how long it takes for them to punch through the pile.

                Yveltal is more a direct win than Xerneas because Yveltal, canonically, can cause a self-feeding Anihilation Event on all life when it itself dies. It’s even brought up on the latest dex entry as game-canon confirmation.

                So imagine it is fighting and somehow loses, gets crushed by a billion lions - the lions will all then immediately start fading away into a sphere of doom that expands to consume all of then, and then retracts back down to generate an egg. It’s a tie. At least, it’s one until a short while later when Yveltal births again.

                Yes, the ultimate weapon in Gen 6 is basically just a way of using both Xerneas’ and Yveltal’s powers as one. But for the purposes of beating a billion lions, really, Yveltal is the important component. That was why I only put it up.

                Ghost types

                Hadn’t even considered that. Good call. Ghosts on the whole could also easily be stall wins.

    Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don’t realize it’s satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂

      That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.

        I think some people could think it’s not satire but that’s because there is a rule saying “we are not satire”. Guess what? That rule is satire too

            Because:

            1. They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs

            2. They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me

            3. They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939

            4. Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)

            5. Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits

            6. They call their subreddit a “facebook group”

        I refuse to believe TD was ever insincere. I think sane people are just unfamiliar with how willfully stupid fascists sound as a form of cover.

        The leader of the KKK refers to themselves as wizards and dragons.

        What website are you on lmao? Reddit is constantly mentioned, nearly every instance is majority Reddit refugees, there are Reddit repost bots on multiple instances.

            I really don’t think you understood me there.

            I am mocking your claim that “nobody mentions reddit”, those repost bots are definitely not one of the main complaints maybe one of the top 5 or 10 tops, and nobody cares about mentioning reddit stop being a baby.

            More clear?

    There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

    Years ago (early 2000s), Dilbert.com used to have a “Lazy Inventor” section of the website. “All Talk, No Funding.” This was fine for a while, then someone suggested “child free days [at restaurants and stores]”.

    You would have thought he’d suggested clubbing baby seals. The shitstorm it generated was legendary. I’m pretty sure that was a direct contribution to them disabling that feature a few months later.

    I found it in the Wayback machine! Unfortunately, it only grabbed the first few pages of comments, and the spice was only starting at that point.

    I started reading your post 14 minutes ago and read 30 seconds every other minute then watched the video (but I didn’t count those minutes) and now I’ve grown chest hair. That was some good reppin

    A little context must go into this one. For three years now, Wix has owned DeviantArt, having acquired it from its original managers. Wix then redesigned DeviantArt to have a more modern functionality, referred to as DeviantArt Eclipse. A part of this functionality is that people on DeviantArt are (supposed to be) notified whenever someone posts a work similar to their own on any website across the internet, even on the dark web, as an originality-based precaution. As a side note, I wouldn’t say DeviantArt is doing the best it has ever done, but I wouldn’t call it bad, but “pessimist culture” would disagree, and there are those who say the feature I mention is irreputable.

    One day, a certain someone signed up for Wix and started putting art on there instead of DeviantArt. It should be noted that you can be banned from DeviantArt but not Wix. It’s not usual, but I myself demonstrate this, probably because my “ban” was circumstantial and therefore intentionally made only partial (for this reason, look up my Lemmy username on DeviantArt, I’m not forgotten), but I’m only a second person here as far as Wix is concerned. Someone deep into this “pessimist culture” (I don’t know what else to call it) then noticed and made a complaint accusing me of bypassing DeviantArt’s detectors using their own parent website and nobody doing anything, even “with the premium service package”. I kind of laughed at this, it would be like saying you committed a bank robbery by asking to speak to the manager and then asking him nicely for all the money in the bank. You kind of have to question the ownership at that point. Needless to say the fishiest thing was the accusers.
