Was this on Reddit? I know there are some communities there that actively reward users with upvotes for ragebaitey content.

Ah, I didn't look at the dates very closely, thanks for clarifying. I didn't lose my smell after having covid, but I know others did, and I'd honestly forgotten about that symptom until you mentioned it. (Edit: it was actually @SmoochyPit@beehaw.org who mentioned that. Sorry. It's been a long day ...

So I'm guessing a competing company bought a bunch of bad reviews at the same time. But how did the second person put it in a graph? Is he really that passionate about protecting Yankee Candle from slander, or are those review reliability things more advanced than I thought...?

I tried to get it to write a fanfiction about that camera falling in love with my sister's GoPro, but it didn't work. Evidently, this feature is only on the mobile app 😑 And I ain't downloading it. An article about it from CNBC

spoilerMaybe we should devote a sub to sappy edits of dark/snarky things that are brain-rottingly sweet or completely ruin the point of the original

woven into the grotesque canvas of late capitalist society, where the threads of broken ethics, unmet greeds and ill-sought pleasures intertwine, the act of urinating in the sink emerges as a shimmering thread of defiance and liberation amidst the drab canvas of sultry conformity. this post is an imploration to cast aside the mundane facade, for behold! within the confines of this commonplace act, yet still on its outer reaches at the kitchen drain, lies a symphony of ethical resonance and poetic dignity.

lo! the sink—a vessel of utility and containment, yet also a sanctuary of rebellion and ecological stewardship. as the liquid streams cascade into its stainless steel or porcelain embrace, they whisper a sonnet of conservation, a hymn to the sanctity of every precious droplet in a world parched and exposed, drained and razed. here, amidst the confines of domesticity, i invite you to become custodians of the earth, embroidering each your golden thread into the communal tapestry of environmental consciousness with each clandestine release.

in the quiet dribble of this intimate rebellion, there exists a neat elegance—a dignity that transcends both the banality of bodily functions and the opulence of human excess, and elevates them to the realm of the sublime. for within the sink-piss lies but a kernel, and yet a testament to the ironic intensity of the human spirit, a reminder to the lost of the beauty of the other.

keep pissing, and may your streams be strong 🙏

A stable man isn’t effected by another mans sexual preference. Allowing that which you disagree with to control your mental state is the definition of powerlessness

I mean that's what makes it funny, isn't it? This guy is making a complete fool out of himself dragging himself up a railing, simply because he's annoyed by a symbol of identities different from his own.

Yeah, just added a cw for the comments upon someone else's advice. I only skimmed a few, and I thought they were satire before I posted it. It's always concerning when something you think is satire is really serious...

I haven't spent long on Lemmy, but I see a lot of posts with their title literally being "Title". Is it meant to be a joke? Is it because the title would otherwise be a quote ripped from the image/post itself, and the posters don't want their fellow Lemmites to get bored from reading the same bit of text twice? Reason why I ask is because I recently posted something where I took the title from the body of text in the post, and I'm wondering if people find it less annoying to read a single placeholder word before clicking into the main post than to end up rereading a bit of the body later.

What are some you'd like to see?

[-] VolcanoWonderpants@lemmy.today 6 points 8 months ago

I know that Peertube doesn't have any built-in monetization right now, so they would probably be relying on viewer charity to make money on some platforms.

[-] VolcanoWonderpants@lemmy.today 31 points 8 months ago

I can get people being cautious about for-profits trying to monetize user data, but trying to ruin this guy's life over it, regardless of whether or not he was actually trying to make money from their data, is just sick. Anyone who thinks this is an acceptable method of protest is fucked up in the head.

STOP PUTTING, a SPACE before your PUNCTUATION. It absolutely INFURIATES me when a person ONLINE places a SPACE before an EXCLAMATION MARK. When I see this I absolutely LOSE it, and my DOG starts FLIPPING like JOHN WILLY. Did you know his name is really Zachary? What a good dog. But that’s beside the POINT. I become so MAD and FRUSTERATED when someone MISPLACES a SPACE before their PUNCTUATION. Don’t even get me STARTED on when PEOPLE start EVERY WORD with a CAPITAL LETTER. It is a WASTE of TIME. It is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE when someone does not TYPE A SENTENCE using PROPER GRAMMAR AND TYPING SKILLS. Whenever I see a person typing in ALL LOWERCASE with NO PERIODS I will TRACK THEM DOWN and make them CORRECT their message. It’s also PAINFUL when people MISUSE emojis. The SKULL EMOJI is what you use when you represent a DEAD PERSON, NOT your horrible sense of HUMOUR. The laughing emoji signifies your ACTUAL LAUGH and should NOT be used SARCASTICALLY. FURTHERMORE, it makes me so SICK and TIRED when someone uses the NERD emoji to POKE FUN at an INANIMATE OBJECT. The nerd is meant to represent a PERSON. Pineapple should NEVER go on pizza regardless of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, HOW, AEIOU AND SOMETIMES WHY, YOU ARE. McDonald’s has EVERY RIGHT to put MORE KETCHUP on my CHICKEN SANDWICH, butt the REFUSE TO DO IT. MY firstborn son is going through his MINECRAFT PHASE, and when he ASKED ME TO BUY MERCHANDISE, he didn’t use PROPER MANNERS. This absolutely INFURIATES ME and the PRICE OF THIS should also be lowered to accommodate to MY NEEDS and MY financial situation.
