World News@lemmy.world•Adolf Hitler easily wins election for fifth time in southern African countryEnglish
12·3 days agoThe name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.
The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.
My cousin got a vasectomy. I’m basted and ready to be stuffed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?English
71·7 days agoClimate change denial is a psy-op by reptilians who want to make the world warmer because they’re cold blooded. Anti-vax influencers are there to cull the xenophobes before the reptilians come out of the egg.
Okay maybe I really want to believe there are cool reptiles who are kinda dumb but ultimately want to be our friends because otherwise we’re making ourselves stupider and deader and we don’t even get to meet scaley twinks.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you sing to your pet or have other silly interactions with them?English
3·7 days ago“Viens ici!” or “Viens ici, s’il te plaît!” if you’re being proper.
“Minouminouminou!” if you’re being Cajun, where a cat is a minou and “Meow” is also minou.
I’d be happy if they just stayed out of the bike lanes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do these look like fake cigarettes or used tampons?English
2·8 days agoI was trying to make a disgusting joke. I failed.
But I have a visceral, dreamlike memory of dissecting a sea slug while high on codeine for my intense cramps (it did nothing,) where the image of gelly-like brown flesh and rusty, marbled organs was reinforced immediately after when using the washroom.
Thank you for sharing your visceral memory, it raises a lot of questions. I’m happy you’ve embraced peace because slugs are neat.
Fun facts:
-
A few mollusks do have haemoglobin, so their haemolymph(blood-stuff) is red. The reason most mollusk blood is green/gray/blue is because they have copper while we have iron.
-
Slugs are all creamy because they don’t have a circulatory system, they’re more of a bag of fluids with some organs sloshing around inside.
-
Banana slugs have the highest penis volume to body-volume ratio of any animal. When they mate, they generate flesh spears to stab into each other, which serve no apparent purpose. Whoever wins the mating (gets pregnant first) gets to eat their partner’s penis for nutrients, but it grows back.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do these look like fake cigarettes or used tampons?English
10·9 days agoYou’re fine, used tampons look more like filleted slugs.
To make them more like cigarettes you could use a bit of cocoa or food grade activated charcoal for ash, or just burn the ends with a lighter. Bright yellow or orange sprinkles could be embers. Wrap brown paper around the other end for the filter.
To make them more like tampons, use them to skewer marshmallows, lightly roast over a flame until marshmallows melt together and turn yellowish with a few bubbles, then slather in cranberry sauce.

World News@lemmy.world•Palestinian group praises Nakba exhibit coming to Canadian Human Rights while Jewish organization pans moveEnglish
8·10 days agoLooks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.
It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.
This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.
I thought he was arisen from the bread.
That’s why we have unleavened bread during passover.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever either taken part in or been targeted by an internet hate mob? For what reasons and what happened after?English
8·21 days agoNot that I know of. I walked away and it was anti-climactic. I believe one is living in a broken down van and thinks Elon Musk talks to him directly, not that poverty and mental health issues are anything to make fun of.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever either taken part in or been targeted by an internet hate mob? For what reasons and what happened after?English
9·21 days agoI was the target. It was an IRL one that moved to the internet.
I tried to get people to use each other’s preferred pronouns. The hate didn’t really ramp up until I brought up facts and evidence.
It had all the elements of your standard hate mob, with trolling, doxxing, threats, and all that.

My friend felted the dog fur into a sweater for her hairless cat. Felters truly are the trash goblins of the art world.
