Don't know what this has to do with religion...but this is excellent. I'm tired of the insidious phrases that normalize and modernize religion as being relevant and central to everybody. Especially Christianity, which can fuck right off. We need to all be more conscious of casually centering religion in our language, and do our best to move away from it. I know I'm definitely guilty of this, and many people around me are, too. It's in our exclamations and swearing and normative thinking, and is going to take a lot of work, time, and deliberate consideration, it's going to face resistance, and will run headfirst into many cringe moments and require awkward at first decisions. But, I still think it's important and will be good for all of us.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Carry on barbecuing.

Sounds to me like a legal workaround is to have an invite-only barbecue then have a stack of invites and write them out as people come up. "Its not public, its invite only! Why yes I'd be happy to give you an invitation!"

[-] demonmariner@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

FYI, you can make an excellent wheeled barbecue from an old shopping cart.

[-] kablez@lemmy.world 63 points 21 hours ago

As an Australian I am horrified at this. What kind of city forbids public barbecue?

What's next, forbidding public displays of joy?

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Shut the fuck up. Don't give them any ideas!!!

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 7 points 11 hours ago

I'd be fine with it if people could throw their fucking trash in a bin and leave the place like they found it.

[-] Geobloke@aussie.zone 27 points 20 hours ago

It's the same thing

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 138 points 1 day ago

Does anyone have something to clean the cum stain off the word "fucking"?

>Understands engagement bait

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

The fact we live in a time where engagement creates more push for the algorithm so more videos can be viewed by more people rather than just making good content that people share because it's good is literally the fucking problem.

Because it's so much easier to make shit and have a cum stain over the word Fuck than just make good content.

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

I can't believe people still fall for the bait lol

There's a youtuber called Spookston whose editor purposefully puts smoke alarm chirps in his videos and EVERY TIME there's hundreds of comments telling him to replace the battery lol

[-] mika_mika@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

Someone always says this like the intention being engagement bait doesn't make it even worse.

I don't think it's any better, just that it's part of the standard playbook. Up there with the unnecessary red circle and arrow pointing at nothing.

[-] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I'm entering a phase where I'm not sure if the red arrow is pointing at nothing, or at something I'm just too old to understand/notice/care about

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I didn't make this. I just stole it and it already had the cum stain.

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

I kinda thought so, I was referring to the opp.

Regulating public life is always a balancing act between assholes ruining the fun for everyone and the regulations ruining the fun. You can bet that if public barbecuing was allowed, assholes would dump their trash everywhere and start fires by being careless.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Some other societies do a better job of policing themselves via social pressure. Unfortunately in the US it’s “fuck you, you can’t make me.”

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 7 hours ago

Unfortunately in the US it’s “fuck you, you can’t make me.

A surprising amount of that is literally just asshats banking on nobody telling them to cut it out, because there is also very much a culture of just quietly being upset by the bad behavior then later posting loudly on a local public Facebook group instead of just walking up and asking them to turn the music down/pick up the trash/not set off fireworks in the middle of the airshow (a real world example where I spoke out on and the person immediately backed off and stopped setting off the fireworks)

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago

Great idea, instead of punishing the people that dump their trash everywhere, just go and outlaw some unrelated activity!

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago

Well, you have to catch people dumping their trash to punish them. Most often, you'll only see the aftermath of discarded packaging and sometimes whole grills.

[-] baines@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

oh shit! well payed police work takes effort!

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 11 points 20 hours ago

Hi from Australia, where free public barbecues have been around for decades and that doesn't happen. Maybe you just live in a country full of arseholes.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago

In my neck of the woods (in the US) every public park has places for grilling. These places are usually kept clean. Local culture can vary a lot tho

[-] prole 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I mean, it's likely the US so yeah no shit
