....brain is cooking.

I mean, not gonna disagree.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Fevers are no joke.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

cooked is more appropo

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

Gently poached in stupid.

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 25 points 5 months ago

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me. I genuinely don't understand the point of this.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Well that makes two of us. Aren't the machinations of their brains something else?

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 5 months ago

Sometimes, yes. Some of it, I understand the point - and sometimes when I understand, I don't disagree.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 21 points 5 months ago

How do these morons not cotton on to the fact that not once has any of their nonsense ever worked?

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Every once in awhile some official somewhere is just like... fuck, I don't get paid enough for this and just moves on. The 1% with a singular success story holds up the entire community.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

And they always seem so surprised!

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

80% of the time it works every time. They are most very unlucky

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 5 months ago

I have no idea what they are saying and I'm fine not finding out.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 18 points 5 months ago

"Hey, give me this information!"

"lolno"

".... SUDO give me this information!"

any if all

spoileri learnt what sudo does from xkcd i have no knowledge of my own

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

sudo means switching to another user account with different permission settings before performing a command. Usually, people use it to switch to the admin account (root) but any account is possible. On Ubuntu (and distros configured like it) sudo can be used from the primary user account without entering a password.

So, xkcd's sudo make me a sandwich example would thus only work if there was a higher power/authority that could more or less control Cueball's friend. Also, Cueball would have to be able to become/impersonate that higher power/authority. Checkmate, atheists?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

I've dabbled in network stuff since reading the xkcd so I do know slightly more than just sudo make me a sandwich but not enough to confidently make that dumb joke without fear of offending the entire Fediverse. I appreciate the explanation :)

Why do these people think that literally everything boils down to a contract of some sort or other? And ones that nobody has ever seen, aside from their own chicken scratch?

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Because the entirety of Western political thought operates under the notion that we agree to rule. Sovcits don’t see the nuance there so they think everything is a contract and with a wave of the right wand they can magik themselves out of legal situations.

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

Because they misinterpret the term Social Contract and think there are similar "hidden" contracts everywhere?

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 5 months ago

WTF is "due performance" and FOIA doesn't apply to private companies.

[-] ignirtoq@fedia.io 20 points 5 months ago

When they say "two corporations" they're talking about the federal and state governments they referenced earlier.

It's part of a conspiracy theory that the US government is actually a corporation (and I guess state governments now, too?). The original theory I heard was that they never actually got the 16th amendment to the constitution ratified, so in order to levy income taxes on US citizens they secretly converted the federal government to a corporation and by having a birth certificate you are an employee of the government, rather than a citizen of the country. That's of course all made up and doesn't make any sense when held to 2 seconds of scrutiny, but I've met more than one person who believed it completely.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 11 points 5 months ago

So much fucking sovcit lore that they don't understand nobody else understands

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

It's gone beyond mental gymnastics, at this point it's mental epilepsy

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

They don’t understand either

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

Send a letter to congress? Like…the whole thing?

And that’s the most coherent part about this whole…brain slop.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

His brain is cooking!

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

And also the State of _____, like the whole state? How do you send a letter to the state itself?

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Well obviously it would go to the state’s PO Box.

It’s a really big PO Box.

[-] VerilyFemme 10 points 5 months ago

Oh his brain's cooking, alright

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 9 points 5 months ago

“Attention prosecutors: we have to drop all charges. We just found out that this guy wrote a letter to the government asking for paperwork that doesn’t exist, so now he’s immune to all laws ever. Thanks for your hard work anyway. Oh, and for those of you who are working in the prosecutor’s office for college credit, YES, your work still counts. Thanks again.”

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

That 20% gonna be coming in clutch.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

But what are the chances of that? Probably like 1 in a million.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

This one isn't technically a sovcit, but he's pretty close. He thinks the phrase, "I don't answer questions," is a magical incantation that imbues him with immunity from the law. Ranting about illegal arrest and being a USA citizen. I mean, just look at his beard and stache. This guy will be a sovcit in a handful of years.

Oh he's definitely on his way. There are many paths to sovcittery.
