Here you go OP. It’s actually ok to swear on the internet.

[-] Zorcron@lemmy.zip 85 points 2 months ago

Here is a not weirdly censored and un-censored version:

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

I mean… could I have gone and found the original, maybe. Did it cross my mind, no I jumped straight to do it on my phone and make it look as natural as possible, but of course this was the harder option. 🤦‍♂️

I also like to reinvent wheels, it's basically a hobby at this point

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.

A censored "shit" in a post about Star Trek? "SHIT" in big Star Trek font.

"Cunt" in a post about the UK? Enjoy your "CUNT" dressed in a union jack.

The censored word is "cock"? Here's "COCK" in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.

Fucking lean into it.

I don't get at all this trend of badly censored words.

[-] voidsignal@lemmy.world 68 points 2 months ago

They try to be a rebel, but still wanna please facists algorithms. American puritanism BS. Fuck that.

[-] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 42 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

One theory is that it's done intentionally to farm engagement from people pointing it out. Also I think most mainstream platforms heavily push down in the algorithm content that isn't sanitised. This is to make the platform more appealing to advertisers because the platform's userbase is the product.

As for why the words are partly censored instead of completely censored I'm not sure. I'd guess it's to game the algorithm while also making the word completely obvious.

Either way, if this is the behaviour that you engage in on a platform, that platform is terrible and you are an attention obsessed idiot.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

It's to get by censorship algorithms on certain sites. The picture is copied as-is, so it stays even when not needed.

The creators of Lemmy (who also run the Lemmy.ml instance) are huge fans of censorship and propaganda so they use automated swear word filtering to train their users into uncritically accepting censorship.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, **** the fuck.

[-] Ophrys@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 months ago

MY EYES! NOOOOO! MY INNOCENCE!!!!

[-] SystemDisc@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

I hate it. I downvote every censored post.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Unless you’re a part of .ml, apparently. They auto-censor that stuff for some reason.

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

They got more problems than censoring bad words tho…

Even if it was a human, Chris would be wrong with his lie about "90% of scientists." Not sure why people think a lie will help their argument in cases like this.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Eh... A Human fetus is human, but it is not "a human". Your toenail clippings are human.

Plus, the humanity or personhood of a fetus doesn't really matter for the pro-choice position. Simply put, there is no (other) legal situation that can compell you to give up your bodily autonomy.

Example. I can shoot someone in the street in cold blood, and they could die without a blood transfusion. The courts cannot compell me to do something as harmless as donating blood to save that person's life. A fetus, despite arguably being a person, does not have a right to your blood, your breath, your nutrients, or a space inside your body. Full stop.

[-] kureta@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Wow. I have never heard this argument articulated in this way. Thanks!

[-] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 31 points 2 months ago

I had a...call? survey? at some point from an entity that probably gave rise to this data. It was basically a push-poll that used question order and positive reinforcement to try to get people to agree that abortion is murder.

Mostly, it tried to conflate "human" with "a human," starting out with things like "are cells isolated from humans still human?" "Can cultured cells be called 'viable?'" "So would you agree that tissue cultured from a human donor is viable, human tissue?"

[-] frazw@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of this... https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/yes-prime-minister-questionnaire-design-matters

They are asking the questions in a way that gets the answers they want just like in yes prime minister.

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 5 points 2 months ago

That sounds like a hell of a survey.

Mine are always like "on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being very poor and 10 being outstanding, how would you rate the service you have received today?"

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

They don't care about facts data or science. They use it to argue in bad faith, not to have a serious convo.

If you call that out they'll just ignore you and try and get you with some other made up gotcha fact.

Also, even if 90% of scientists did say that... what percentage of those scientists are not biologists?

Do we need to know a geologist's or physicist's opinion about "some sort of weird meat-science"?

Like the old "Yeah, sorry, I am a Doctor, but I'm a Doctor of Jazz, not medicine"

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Am scientist (not in life sciences). If someone showed me this image, I'd have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at. So that's one for the 10%, I guess.

[-] voxthefox 8 points 2 months ago

Because they aren't arguing to persuade the other party but to persuade the readers/listeners that won't bother to research if its actually true.

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

Because they are stupid enough that they believe appeal to authority has any meaning.

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 76 points 2 months ago

I do love the "blank slate mammal" look we all seem to share at this stage.

A just a few less cells and it compares to birds, reptiles and fish.

Thank FUCK you edited that horrible FUCKING word, so that my innocent eyes aren't FUCKING desecrated.

Tits.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I suggest autoreplacing it with a more technical term.

~~fuck~~ sex

SEX

That's a sexing dolphin.

90% of scientists agree

Even if that were true these kinds of people are notorious for discounting the vast majority consensus because some lunatic said otherwise. It's almost like science has no bearing to them unless it validates their preconceived ideas.

[-] Zebrafive@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Exactly the problem and they all cite a paper written by a pro life conservative who works at the Hamilton foundation which is a conservative 'think tank'.

The paper itself is abysmally stupid. He emailed about 60 000 people with 5 or so confoundingly, unnecessarily complex question (manipulated) and about 30 000 or so responded and then he interpreted the answers and made the conclusion that like 90% of respondents agree that life begins at conception.

Morons say 90% of scientists agree, which is not even what the paper claims at all which itself is not good.

He could have just asked 'does human life begin at conception'? Also he complained (author) in a podcast about the paper about how so many faculty at the college he was st during the paper writing urged him to discontinue the project as for various reasons and then spins that to basically say pro women's rights advocates are in a conspiracy against life and were all democratic demons in a death cult (more or less)

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 19 points 2 months ago

Pfft, we have a hard time proving people under 1 billion net worth are human live nowadays.

No, it's a dolphin embryo

You are never going to convince me the biggest vilain in the whole world is fucking religion. I hate religious people with all my heart

[-] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

I think it's in the top 5:

  1. Capitalism

  2. Patriarchy

  3. Racism (I consider this tied with patriarchy tbh)

  4. Religion

  5. People who take two seats on public transit with no justification

[-] groet@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Religion is a rationale for other evils. It is in itself not evil.

Patriarchy and racism (and many religions do that too) are all the same thing - chauvinism, the belief in the superiority of the own group. This also includes nationalism, homophobia, xenophobia and any other "I hate you because you are different"-isms

So I'd go with:

  1. Chauvinism
  2. Capitalism (greed)
  3. People who blast music on speaker in public transit

Were these scientists dentists ?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I doubt even 10% of the scientists can tell a human embryo apart from a dolphin.

I really expect nobody from the physics, math, social sciences, history, geology, or almost every other department to do it.

Fun fact: Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny.

Depending on what species a foetus looks like, you can make a guess for how long it has been present inside a womb.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Amazing how we (or any organism complex enough to have organs) are just a pair of cells that underwent a sequence of protein-controlled division, folding and diversification. And excretion and consumption that formed and maintains non-cellular parts like fluids and bones. Plus the microbiome but arguably that's not you, much like mites.
