obligatory copypasta

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone blurred a very small part of there of five letters making it impossible to read the word "shit". I was about to shit a fucking brick.

fuck

edit: @TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world took the time to edit it to remove the censor, so I changed the image in the post to that. Thanks!

Hey! You can't say that word

Is it okay if I don't fucking say it but I fucking type it? Shit!

What is the optimum angle to secure such a device for the maximum result? Asking for science.

Also, I wouldn't ever glue/tie/epoxy one of these. I'd do four in various places.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 60 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You don't want optimum because then it sounds like a harmonica.

Edit: sorry, fucking harmonica.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Hot-glue some of the holes so they each play a different chord. Maybe some kind of flexible barrier in front could redirect airflow until the vehicle picks up speed so some or all will stay quiet initially.

Hear me out; horizontal pinwheel configuration.

What's a fin harmonica? Is that one dolphins can play?

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's a f█n harmonica. The rectangle is part of the brand name. Check out https://www.fnharmonica.com/en

It's very handy that some clients embed the harmonica photos and I don't need to open URLs

That checks out. Whoever censors shit like this just hates fun

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

I've had to bring this up elsewhere, but could we please stop making and reposting unnecessarily censored memes? The obscured word here is 'FKN', not even 'fucking'. This isn't Tiktok, these alterations are kind of gratuitous...

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

I edited the post, thanks for taking the time to Photoshop this!

I always find it funny how cursing used to be "contrary to polite speech", and in doing so you were asserting your freedom of speech.

But now, on the internet, self-censorship is considered "uncouth", freedom of expression be damned. So now you will be attacked if you say "I'll F*%Kin talk however the f$$k I wan't Sh*thead!"

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

that's kinda disingenous, the thing about censorship is that it's inherently submitting to a higher authority, which for obvious reasons people have started realizing fucking sucks actually.

censoring yourself is giving power to the platforms and people who want to run our lives and make people suffer for their own profit.

[-] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Depending on the circumstance, I completely agree. There are certainly many cases where censoring yourself is giving away your power and freedom of expression.

However, it's not disingenuous to say that if I want to censor myself, for any reason, on the internet I will likely be shamed by folks who want to assert their values over mine. And as such, acquiescing means I am once again giving away my power to the people who want to dictate what I do with my life.

Perhaps I want to do it because I find it funny. Or perhaps I want to do it because I'm trying to emulate a classic comic book speech style, which often had to use censorship because they were being controlled, but now has become a recognizable convention. Or perhaps, as I already mentioned, I simply want to do it to assert my right to speak how I choose,despite the "higher authority" of the crowd.

For whatever reason, giving up my freedom of expression, as you already mentioned, f*%king sucks actually.

For example, take this post. OP didn't care if it was censored or not, they just wanted to share something funny and didn't want to work to do it. Yet most of the comments are about the rage felt by folks who wanted OP to do more work so they didn't have to see a black bar.

I’m so depressed I want to self harmonica now. Maybe even Kermit sewer slide.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 weeks ago

Why they censor the word fun

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Because we cant have it anymore.
OBEY. WORK. DIE.

[-] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me... Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn... Wow.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

nah it's just a f-u-n harmonica and some of us don't like that.

but fkn is already a way to censor fucking, which is what's f*nny about it.

Looks like censoring fuck caused too much trouble on my instance. What was the word that got censored?

[-] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's bitch. In case that gets censored for you too, it's witch with a b.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, so ml censor's bitch, but not cunt. Wow.

Cunt being a nuclear curse is mostly just an American thing.

I should print an adapter to route some of the intake charge through a harmonica...

Can’t comprehend how people think that someone choosing to sensor a curse word is the most egregious thing since the first Nakba.

Who gives a fuck. Some people like to swear and others don’t, the horror.

I would say that with the copy pasta, swearing kind of loses its potency when overused to that extent.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.

I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet
