So nice. My giardiasis just finished blooming, the whole yard smelled of it.

GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thoughtEnglish112·20 days agoI think it’s more than half, and I think the other half just touches themselves in private areas too taboo to mention on a Christian oriented site like Lemmy. Let’s just say, stay away from the devil’ jewels kiddos.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Bikini Bottom Twitter@lemmy.world•Which one is boosted and which one is realEnglish5·21 days agoIt’s because the system is gamed, we all know it, and you would be hard pressed to be able trust anything – even your own grandmother – when it comes to the internet. It’s nearly all psychological and sociological warfare.
If we see 5 stars, we just assume the bad reviews have been hidden or discarded, or simply never existed (since all the reviews good or bad are fake anyway). Because way too often, that’s exactly the case.
And when we see thousands of reviews we tend to ignore the fact that it’s computationally trivial to generate millions upon millions of reviews that are just believable enough to avoid automated detection and/or are easily influenced or corrupted by a variety of means (ex: social engineering, backdoor deals, etc). Psychologically we just close our eyes and ears, yell la-la-la-la-la mentally, and hope that the truth is buried in the myriad of faked/gamed reviews somewhere.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto The Onion@midwest.social•Straight white men now most oppressed group, confirms straight white man with national platform, parliamentary salary, and zero self-awarenessEnglish14·23 days agoI know it’s the onion community, but I’m sure some people honestly believe this.
I had a relative somewhat recently make the statement that christians are the most oppressed group in the United States. She said that to me, a member of the LGBT community. Not that it’s a competition, but I can think of several dozen groups of people in the USA who I would consider to be more oppressed, but what do I know?
First they told us not to eat the yellow snow, now they’re telling us not to stick spring rolls up our poop chutes. It’s like doctors don’t want us to find any joy in our lives.
First they invented great barrier reef, now they make great barrier ointment. My God what horrors and highlights, the hubris of humankind.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto News@lemmy.world•Why Factories Are Having Trouble Filling Nearly 400,000 Open JobsEnglish16·29 days agoI live in a rural area outside of a small town in the southern USA. The local electrician, basically the guy almost everybody calls if they need basic residential electrical work, earns almost twice the high end of what that job listing is paying. Granted, he’s basically on call 7 days a week and I’m sure his job isn’t always unicorn farts and leprechaun rainbows, but he’s his own boss and works his own hours.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How streaming changed the way you watch TVEnglish1·29 days agoONLY CHILDREN NEED NOT APPLY
I completely understand.
I spent a semester of college working at Home Depot. It was a terrible experience and awful in so many different ways that I consider it my second worst job experience, only slightly behind the holier than thou “Christian business” that didn’t pay its employees and actively committed fraud against employees, clients, and the government. 25+ years later, I still don’t like to shop at Home Depot, it was so bad.
Those are pretty ladies and cute outfits! Hope they drink sufficient amounts of water and stay hydrated, else time may not be kind to their skin.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Reddit@lemmy.world•Can anyone explain the whole "Spez" thing with reddit?English4·30 days agoNice try Steve.
Remember that time I discovered a major bug in Reddit that I reported dozens of times to the site’s feedback form and directly to your user account but I never got a response about and it never got fixed (until I used the exploit in a way that directly affected you)? Well, if that rings a bell, then guess what? It’s me again. Toodles.
This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•'They quit after a few hours': Farmers admit they can't find American workersEnglish21·1 month agoAny pretty much any physical job comes with copious risks to your body and health, yet these types of employers typically don’t pay for employee health plans nor do they pay enough for employees to comfortably afford their own. Why would anybody want to risk severing a finger, breaking a leg, getting bitten by a dangerous snake, a nail to the hand, etc if they don’t have to, especially knowing they can’t afford the treatment and it could lead to lifelong pain and disability?
Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.
That’s the general consensus in my social circle as well. It’s not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with shellfish flavoring.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump suggests farmers may get to keep undocumented workers after allEnglish31·1 month agoSo, the immigrants are criminals if they are not authorized to be in the country. But the people unlawfully employing them aren’t criminals? I’m confused about what he’s saying, but then again, I’m also 100% he’s confused about what he’s saying so you can’t really blame me, right?
To err is human, to go get is feline.
Truthfully, I want to work. I just don’t like having to play the game because the game sucks and I’m terrible at it. Let me just do the work.
Southern drawl versus text-to-speech. Bedazzle of the scent tree.
