I am yet to understand what "nobody" adds to a meme. Still don't get it.

-Nobody thinks this way

What client are you using?

The screenshot was taken on just default quokk.au in a browser, though I'm typing this in Boost.

we should estimate ourselves lucky, at least, that the

And now your reference to it will resurrect the meme like a Phoenix from the ashes.

The way I understand it, it's a play on "Nobody asked" using Colon denoted dialogue

Nobody: [insert question]

[subject of meme]: [answer to question]

And has become increasingly esoteric through extended use

The original meme got mangled beyond recognition and into making no sense

The original was used as quote attribution

Like:

"I am a huge fan of EA"

-- nobody

[-] Shannaresh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

To continue this logic, if "nobody" says nothing it could be construed as the start of the conversation, implying the subject came to the conclusion without prompting or context

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

When used properly it makes sense. But there are only rare occasions when that is appropriate. So instead everyone just uses it all the time and so no one really understands when it should be used. Dumb.

it's boilerplate

Laptop is a misnomer, especially gaming ones, because they get too hot to be in your lap. Workstations, notebooks, Ultrabooks, etc, all different classifications.

Upside, if you do use it on your lap, it doubles as birth control. (Joke, please do not do this).

they're just the modern version of those old portable desktops, just with a battery so you don't fly into a gamer rage when someone trips over the power cable.

It identifies as laptop until you start the game.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
