Good lord this screenshot hurts my eyes. Use dark mode for goodness sake

[-] wason@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Light mode during the day, dark mode at night

[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 43 points 2 years ago

I’m reading this at night though. Think of all the poor souls that will get flashbanged in the next few hours.

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm a victim

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago

Not that it matters but it’s a little insane that 8 people thought to downvote you because of how you choose your theme settings.

Like I’m dark mode on everything at all times, but I won’t downvote you for being different. Some folk be wack.

Doesn't that mean your brightness is set too high?

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

No your Mode is wrong!

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

So that's how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up 'based' on urban dictionary.

Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.

[-] Pizzasgood@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Twas a tubular time.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

"Cowabunga" shouldn't have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

Wow. I totally thought it was just a Ninja Turtles thing. Thanks for that info.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Ninja Turtles got it from 60's surfer slang (since that's how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I'm curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of "rizz" but that's probably due to the circles I've been in.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

Based has been around for 10+ years. So weird hearing people say it again

Pretty based of you to admit.

This post is the first time that I realized reply lines were in rainbow order.

[-] dukk@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

Go figure.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Is it really pronounced "dub"? I've never heard it spoken.

[-] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago

I internally say massive win but I do hear youtubers call it massive double u

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ironic that pronouncing a single letter is more cumbersome than the full word.

[-] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

u v DOUBLE U x y z

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"Every single other letter is one syllable, can we just pronounce this one 'wuh'"?

"No, it must have THREE!"

[-] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

English is indeed a funny language.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Germans: "Ridiculous! We will pronounce it like 'vay'".

"Well, that's a lot..."

"...AND 'Y' WILL BE 'OOPSILON'"!

I always hear it as double u

[-] prayer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, unless it was a really important win, then you might say it out entirely to emphasize your utter dominance over them.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Not exclusively, but sometimes.

So this is why Golden State Warriors are called "Dubs"! Today I learned.

The nickname comes from people shortening Warriors to the letter W. The shorter form of the letter W is pronounced "Dub." It also helps that W represents the word "win" in the world of sports, so when their fans refer to them as the Dubs, they are also referring to the team as winners.

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

I was there when it was written

[-] sour@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Hey! I’ve been invited to sports before. Some people think that me being large, tough, and angry would make me good at roller derby, unfortunately I’m also uncoordinated even when sober
