Of course this does not refer to situations in which a generally uncommon acronym is well known. :P
Over my dead body does smbc mean Swiss meringue buttercream

Clearly it’s Suck My Butter Chicken.
Salty malted biscuit cupcakes. Obviously
Isn't that like the one japanese bank
Softbank Mitsubishi Banking Corp.
How about the users that are starting to use the thorn character everywhere?
I think it's like one guy. I have him blocked and I haven't seen it since.
Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽
Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽
Because it insists upon itself
Just... brava friend. Brava indeed
I genuinely try to use it bcs I think it's a cool character, but there's really not a lot of situations that warrant one ><
We often just put ?! at the end of a 'shocked' question type, so I guess that's where it would work?
Ex: "OMG DID YOU SEE THAT ‽

I'm almost positive it's one person who keeps making new accounts.
As long as they correctly use eth and thorn, I'm all for it
They're heroes
Acronyms are fucking bullshit.
Everyone gets "lol", but stop with the fucking bullshit. You guys have full keyboards. Not the shit we had with out 90's phones. Grow up.
abbreviations are a normal part of human language, and have been around since long before the 90s
They are right though, we came up with lol and stuff like that because texting on a keypad was tedious. Its not really useful in the way it was back then, its just stuck around from popular use.

ikr
Not everyone gets lots of love, but I'm glad you do ;-)
My favourite gaming franchise: AC
I mean that's Assassin's Creed for pretty much everyone these days, who even remembers Asheron's Call?
...
Is there another AC now? I haven't kept up
Armored core/animal crossing/ace combat
Also Assetto Corsa
Ah fair enough, I have actually heard of all of those, but I've never played any of them. I think Assassin's Creed is the only one you can really use without mentioning the name first, but true, even then it's too ambiguous.
I think it's because AC [subtitle] is a lot easier to google
Asheron's Call, that's a blast from the past.
Muricans in a nutshell lol
I was going to say people of low intelligence and no regard for others, but that's much shorter.
We can go longer: People who despise the entire point of communicating and language and better off just grunting like a caveperson

I got the title confused with North America South American.
ITT: a bunch of UFAs

IMHO it would at least be nice to bring some of the older internet acronyms back.
SrGrafo! Always good to see his stuff postee
I really miss them since I left reddit
IAUUAWET
As acronyms go, it sounds like a simple fella noticing his girlfriend is sexually excited.
I Always Update Ubuntu After Watching Entertainment Tonight.
Going to keep this meme in my back pocket. It’ll get a fair bit of use on Lemmy.
What about using idiomatic expressions without punctuation.
Shoot, again?

can you make a valid sentence using the same acronym multiple times but with different meanings?
Most users of LAME are lame unless they are LAME; and it's even more commendable when LAME.
It's a defence mechanism. I want to scare people away from trying to participate in a topic they know nothing about but feel like an expert in. Those that do know about the acronyms are worth the while.
Edit: I don't have autism.
