I would like someone to do a functional MRI of a sovereign citizen to see how that brain processes.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's called a fever and they should uh, place some rocks near their headboard. The shinier the better I'm told.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

Can you smell what the (crack)rock is cooking? Or is that burning plastic smell? Meth?

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

Boiling in its own juices. Essentially concentrating the stupid as it slowly boils away and gets more potent.

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago

....brain is cooking.

I mean, not gonna disagree.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Fevers are no joke.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

cooked is more appropo

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Gently poached in stupid.

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 24 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

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

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

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 20 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

And they always seem so surprised!

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 18 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 :)

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

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?

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] ignirtoq@fedia.io 19 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

They don’t understand either

[-] VerilyFemme 10 points 2 weeks ago

Oh his brain's cooking, alright

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

His brain is cooking!

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

It’s a really big PO Box.

“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 3 weeks ago

That 20% gonna be coming in clutch.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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