When I talk to people irl there’s like a 50% chance they’ll start yawning. They don’t even try to hide it, wtf.

That’s why I like Lemmy. I know y’all are yawning, I know it. But at least I can’t see it!

Trees are made out of wood and thrive on manure. They are literally shitposts.

Yeah, some jeans are stiff but I’ve definitely got a couple older pair that are softer and that I’d much rather wear than slacks.

But if I REALLY wanted to be uncomfortable on a plane… I still have my mawashi from when I briefly did amateur sumo!

Yeah, that’s right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox

yeah, GTA. cite: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/video-games-appeal-to-the-male-fantasy

Fam this would make an awesome kid’s book… once upon a time some native in what is now Colombia is having a family reunion; their cousin from the north brings tomatoes, and their cousin from the south brings potatoes. They catch some fish and eat it with sliced potato, and they debate whether it’s better with tomato paste or without. I bet libraries would stock that book!

Fun fact: potatoes were first domesticated in Peru/Bolivia so it’s likely that someone ate sliced potatoes in the Andes far before they reached Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_potato

Some of the tattoos on [email protected] are also kinda awesome.

Not this one. This one is just an abomination.

Yeah, they more like swat at their ears. I’ve seen an adult cat do this to another when they did something they didn’t like.

The Sistine Chapel. You just have to convince a majority of Cardinal Electors to go for it.

Dang, you keep quality snacks on hand! I hope we’re all invited to the next party at your place!

closest to God.

Wait, is that the only criterion? Then we need pope Trent Reznor.

I’ve been told it’s acceptable to flick a cat’s ears (gently, obviously) because that’s what a mama cat does to her kittens when they do something dumb. Any opinions on this?

I dunno if Insane Clown Posse started throwing out packets of Flavoraid instead of spraying Faygo at their concerts it just wouldn’t have the same effect…

ooh then don’t miss [email protected] and [email protected]…

Is there like a specific instance of her doing something?

I’ve read the following arguments:

• her humor is bland, Cathy-level stuff. I like [email protected] so I’m not exactly an expert on humor, but fwiw I like her art style and I find her strips funny more often than not. That sort of thing’s subjective anyway.
• she had reddit comics-strip mods delete any critical comments about her. Yeah, reddit sucks, that’s why we left, I dunno if it’s fair to blame her for that.
• she supported reddit during the API protests. I kinda disliked her for a while because of this, HOWEVER since then she’s done a lot of anti-MAGA comics (most recently like this, this, and this) so I think she’s cool bc that’s a far more important issue, and I’m not gonna be hung up on reddit forever.
• in her strip she sometimes makes fun of people who criticize her. I see this kinda like a stand-up comedienne dealing with hecklers, i.e. it’s part of the show, and good on her for not taking shit from people. But some people apparently think this is inappropriate. Others assume that her “hecklers” are sexist, insecure, etc and that creates even more defensiveness. Not sure if there’s an easy solution to this.

Don’t feel bad, fam. As far as haters go, these are pretty mild.

No use crying over spilt milk.

kek this comment was funnier than the strip itself.

also, as you kinda hint at, the fediverse in general is aimed at giving us a space away from corporate social media.
