That's not an insult it's a curse
Insult:
Your elevator doesn't quite go all the way up.
You have all the creativity and emotional intelligence of a manager
One that I like that is also a curse rather than an insult is "I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are"
May your children grow up to be like the politicians you voted for.
No! Don't inflict them on the rest of us!
This is both
You fight like a dairy farmer.
I don't get what that's supposed to mean... Wouldn't dairy farmers tend to be more jacked than average?
If that happened it'd be the year of the linux desktop.
It is the year of the Linux desktop
It's the two certainties of life:
Certain taxes sounds like a skill issue
...and so are the next thirteen.
Is this a joke about the 2038 problem?
I'm not smart enough to come up with that, but thank you for giving me the credit!
Refer to someone you've never met by their name if you can. This usually works best in a school or work setting. And when they ask how you know their name just simply reply:
"Everyone knows who you are." And walk away.
that's your hobby? lmao
the post is asking about insults. it's not really an insult either but it'll certainly make people feel worse...
Yeah, you have to make a disgusted facial expression as you say it.
Like, "Ugh, this motherfucker. He's even worse in person."
This happened to me. I was really really into AI when nobody even knew what it meant if not for hal, skynet and matrix, and now everybody talks of llms like they even know what the f they are.
You look like someone who eats hot dogs the long way
Wait, but, uh... what?
I'm pretty sure it's about inserting hot dog shaped object in to the end of the digestive tract opposite the mouth.
Cycling? Great, increased funding for infrastructure and increased general awareness. Amateur radio? Lower prices for rigs, innovation, and more contacts to be made.
If your interest in a hobby is based on its exclusivity, it may be that you're more interested in exclusivity than in the hobby itself...
I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won't apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.
It's not that some hobbies are based on exclusivity or even some other hipster rationalization, but there definitely is a period where a shit load of new people come in, read half a wiki page, then proceed to argue and talk down to people who have been at it for years. It ruins communities if the audience widens too much at once. I've been online long enough to have seen it happen multiple times.
Well, some people don’t do well with the higher speed and more social interaction it can lead to. It doesn’t have to result in giving up that hobby, but leaving communities related to it.
I would love for my hobbies to be more mainstream. More merch, more people to share the experience with, and presumably more content
This works up to a certain size, then you start having to contend with more shameless money grabs, scalpers catching wind of things and making it impossible for actual fans/users of the product to get stuff for a reasonable price and more scammers.
And the opposite end of that is the corporatization of your previously small cozy wholesome authentic cottage industry sized hobby. It happened to videogames in the late 2010s.
Its also implying that the hobby will eventually burn our or become cringe in the eyes of the public. As most fads do.
Thrifting used to be fun Now everyone thinks they're a flipper and goodwill and other places have jacked up their prices to unreasonable levels.
Not to mention the fact that it's (sort-of) taking materials that were attempted to be destined for the less fortunate
Fr 10 years ago I was cool, but I kept doing the same things and now I'm just basic lol. Even the undercut became a popular hairstyle.
linux? lets hope so!!! 2024 year of the linux desktop!!!
The thing is that the mainstream aspect will burn out, like most fads do, but the people who really love it will keep loving it, and some (usually small) amount of the new influx will also stick around permanently and enrich the community. It's just about surviving through the fad part that is hard.
Honestly, homebrewing becoming a mainstream hobby would be pretty great, I'm always interested in trying a beer someone else brewed and it would probably make sourcing ingredients a lot easier if there was enough of a demand to necessitate a local shop in my area.
maybe start a local group with the goal of opening the local shop yourself?
All the sharp wit of a perfect sphere.
Based on your looks I expected you to be smarter.
I was just hoping you'd do better this time..
Its nice that you tried
Insult? That's a straight up curse.
Wow, you have such a beautiful mind
I will be happy if that happens; the only way to make any hobby go mainstream is to make it cheaper, which benefits all those who indulge in it.
The rapid growth will destroy your hobby by warping the culture beyond recognition and forcing you to act the their norms. I've seen it happen more than once.
MTG/Yugioh would like a word. In fact, of all physical collection card games, I think Pokémon is the only affordable one.
I dunno, I think my favorite insults are the ones that don't require any creativity or effort. There is something to be said of just using the old standbys because the person you are insulting is worth so little to you that you really can't even be assed to come up with anything specific for them, or because the subject you are insulting is so inherently devoid of originality that they're like a negative creativity vacuum. How many different ways can you really insult the same copy-pasted balding thumb headed shrimp dick moron? It gets tough after the one thousand three hundred and twelfth time. They make writers and dominatrices to insult people, there are careers. Me, I'm not gonna waste good material if I'm not paid for it.
When God was handing out brains, you heard "games" and said "no thanks, I prefer touching grass."
