What's a reddit?
Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?
Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.
That's at least a good reason to be there!
So what's up with "not gonna lie"? I've been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I've seen it on Lemmy.
If someone I trust says it, I trust them less.
If a liar says it, I know they're about to lie. It's the "I'm not racist but" of liars.
I worked with a woman for years that said "not gonna lie" roughly 30 times a day. I liked her, I just hated that so I could be biased.
I realize this is completely derailing the post but do you have any insight on this phrase?
OP uses it in a weird way here, usually I see it used to admit something shameful, which you're more inclined to believe
What the fuck is a Reddit?
Sounds really complicated who wants to use that trash!
