Yeah I don’t think people have much of a problem with a cartoon or a meme, as long as it isnt a real photo of a real person (or AI generated/whatever, looks real).
Not sure about NSFG tag though, I think that umbrella is too large. Also, depends on the grandma.
Most people who need insulin administer it very differently from people injecting heroin, for example. I am sorry for people that do need insulin injections, but I don’t really want to see that without any warning on my frontpage.
Diabetics I have known that do require insulin injections also usually have a device that covers the needle similar to what an epipen looks like. The needle itself is not actually very visible, and the injection site is often clean and not swiss cheese.
Basically, I don’t exactly want my frontpage to assault my eyes with heroin addicts posting pictures of themselves shooting up because they think its totally fine to post that since there is no rule requiring that to at least be NSFW tagged.
What about a person injecting themselves? I don’t think anyone is necessarily complaining about smoking, but personally I don’t exactly want to be seeing pictures of people injecting themselves or others, others especially, without any potential warning.
I think it would be safer to have an NSFW tag, especially considering the different ways people use drugs and the various effects of it.
Knight? Isnt that like, an ancient Syrian or Sumerian or something?
Top 10 Smartest Men, Number 8:
If someone posts one politically charged comment or article, they’re going to do it again. Now, I am not talking about posts asking a question or being some part of a legitimate discussion, I mean users that post articles or comments that are “supporting one side/attacking the other side.” If someone says “Why is Lemmy politically left leaning?”, that is different from “God doesn’t exist but Karl Marx did.” A bit of an extreme example but maybe you understand. The topic involves politics in the first example but it is not directly about politics or trying to push one political ideology over others.
IMO, it does represent “Lemmy without politics.” Because I don’t want “Lemmy with a little bit of politics” or “Lemmy but a political echo chamber with only politics I agree with,” I want “Lemmy with no politics.” That means I block everything, left, right, progressive, conservative, I don’t care. I don’t want to see that garbage, I have to deal with enough of it in real life. When I am on Lemmy I just want to see my specific interests which I subscribe to, and the sad part is that many (not all) Lemmy users will make political posts in non-political communities, like tech or meme communities. Reddit did this too, but it was not to this degree, and perhaps it was because Reddit had more users to dilute it.
I have a very long list of blocked political keywords and yet somehow Lemmy users find a way to make political posts that get around all my filters. It is very frustrating. So now I have started just blocking individual users if they post about politics, because a person that posts about it once is most likely going to do it again.
Lemmy without politics is kinda a ghost board. There is maybe 3 or 4 new posts a day. For someone who is not so active, its not much of a problem, but compared to Reddit it is highly frustrating that so much Lemmy content is about politics.
There was a userbase here. It’s gone now.
Isn’t the woman in the image blind? It appears she has a white cane and glasses on, but it’s possible she is holding them for someone else or something. They may be more different than meme girl realizes. Real girl is probably nicer too.
“What do you mean? I’m not like the other girls.”

Who? The person pictured in the meme?
EDIT: Average Lemmy moment, ask a genuine question and get downvoted for it. Thanks guys, very helpful and not at all similar to what Redditors do 👍


Humans have teeth suitable for both meat and plant foods. So I would say humans are omnivores.
I may be wrong, but a 100% vegan only diet I think requires supplements to be taken for certain things like proteins that humans need in order to live. Of course, those certain proteins are found in meats.
However, I think saying humans are carnovires would also be incorrect, and a 100% meat only diet would be I think equally as unhealthy as a 100% plant only diet.


I am assuming this is some sort of vegan talking point that since some human teeth are mostly flat, ignoring canines and some particularly sharp front incisors, humans are supposed to eat only plants? Aren’t humans omnivores though?
Unless you’re playing with the antidote mod, which honestly is kinda surprising something like that isn’t in the vanilla game. Lore-wise, I don’t see where the problem with that could be, especially when they knew what the outcome was before they caused the zombification outbreak.
Project Zomboid be like:

Internet you could hear, literally.


WiiU was underpowered when it launched. Even if someone had utilized it 100%, it still would have been behind compared to the Xbox360 and PS3. 720p only when the Xbox and PS2 were already supporting 720p and 1080i was also a bad choice.
WiiU was just a bunch of bad choices combined in a single product. Bad hardware choices, bad marketing, bad name, requiring the massive gamepad for console setup, etc.
Well according to Sony, you don’t own any even if you paid for them on their storefront.
