Lemmy silver 🥈
Is it colloidal?
?
The silver
Sorry I don't understand
(English isn't my primary language :/)
English is mine and I still had to look it up.
It seems they're asking if it's medical grade silver.

Yeah, found that too. But why ask this ?
🤷♂️ not a clue. Maybe English isn't their first language and some kind of joke worked in their language?
There are people who believe that colloidal silver has special medicinal properties, and take it as a form of supplement. It's a joke about those people, including the ones with skin tone side effects.
@[email protected] is referring to people like this fellow -

I think it was just a joke on it's own.
Creepy. I just watched this scene seconds ago after not watching the film for years...
Yes I was scrolling while watching, I'm sorry.
Weird, I just watched this year's after not watching the film for years...
Its crazy how unlikely things happen frequently with enough participants.
Yes I was scrolling while sitting on the toilet, I'm sorry.
Weird, I don't even know what film this is from. And yet here I am, replying to this comment.
Yes, this is a blatant shitpost. I'm sorry.
In case you aren't joking: Blade Runner
Here I thought it was some bad homophobia propaganda, with "replicant" being a diagetic slur for straight people
I can't tell if there are actually people put there who don't know what Blade Runner is. I may be getting too old to follow along with the youth of today, but to me, Blade Runner is as much a part of popculture as Star Wars and Harry Potter.
Blade Runner, at its core is about a dystopian future where artificial humans, called "replicants" have become part of society, yet are seen and treated as lesser. This is a very simplistic description, but there's a lot of philosophical discussions about what it means to be human and whether or not we can dehumanize artificial humans if what they sense and feel is real to them despite their bodies, brains and memories all being artificial.
In essence it is about empathy.
Sadly, a lot of people who watch blade runner fail to understand its message and just see a protagonist be an unempathetic pos to replicants in several scenes and deem it a misogynistic and bigoted work, which is certainly a take one can have if they insist on being complete media illiterate, but on a deeper level, the movie is definitely wanting people to consider what humanity is and what makes someone human and that everyone deserves empathy. Else we will end up with a cold, brutalist society where you can meet someone and question their validity as a human.
I've heard of it, just never seen it
There's a lot of people who don't know. It's an old movie. Just like there are currently lots of people who don't know harry potter.
I don't think I've ever seen the original blade runner. Only saw the new one at the cinema. And barely even remember anything. I only remember the hype and all the talk about it.
I would never associate "replicant" to the movie, I would associate it to other space scifi shows.
Tbf, the new movie was kinda mid. I know I watched it too, but I also forgot most of it afterwards. Not saying the original Blade Runner was the best movie ever made, but it's at least memorable and I just assumed people would at least know what it was.
I don't think people would think of replicant being associated with Blade Runner in a vacuum either, but when paired with a picture/a gif of Rachel, then I would assume people at least knew that it's a blade runner reference.
I dunno. When I was young on the internet, there was a ton of popculture - especially American popculture - that I know nothing about because I'm not American, but I learned a bunch of it, as well as slang etc to get a basic understanding of the "language" people spoke on the internet. Which is 80% memes anyway.
I guess I find it weird that there are people out there who don't do any kind of research to understand contexts in conversations online and end up assuming weird things when most contexts are a simple search away.
I also refuse to believe there are people who don't know what Harry Potter is xD
Old saying in is: In Internet men are men, women are men and children are FBI officers.
Edit: 4chan rules of the Internet:
Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.
GIRL
guy in real life
Sounds pretty gay.
Join us!
Congrats on one of the gayest usernames I've ever seen
Also best pillar
Way ahead of you
Yep. Sorry hetro women, the meme has spoken; you've got to be gay now.
Well, at least bi.
No bi! Only gay! Lol
Am bi but IME the average cishet guy could learn a truckload from the average gay woman re: sex, dating, long term relationships, and “game.”
So to any straight guys reading this: if you haven’t talked to your lesbian friends about that stuff, or don’t have any lesbian friends, you’re missing out on a lot of the “meaning of life.”
Edit: yes not all men, but they’re rare enough that I consider them part-time lesbians, the highest compliment I can give
Yes.
Yes, you have to reproduced by impregnating a woman or you are an evolutionary failure.
Yup, we are now gay :3
It's not necessarily a POV...
No you don't understand. Women don't matter.
