I bought into the propaganda and tried it hoping that it would cure my pr0n addiction- but on day 6 I got extremely horny and am currently relapsing so hard that I’m now wasting entire afternoons from 1 to 11 committing war crimes against enough sperm to fill a water bottle, depriving my body of precious water and protein and making it interfere even more with my sleep, social and homework schedules than it already did. I completely gave up on it when I saw the edgelords making fun of people who failed and thinking “ooh it’s gonna give us levitation powers or something!!1”
Kelvin mostly seems to be used to measure unimaginably hot (like ovens, metal forges, stars) or unimaginably cold (e.g. planets beyond Mars) things, Fahrenheit still exists only because the US Congress was lazy (though as an American I do find it somewhat useful for comparing weather and Earth’s climate zones in finer detail than just -1 in winter and 28 in summer), and I’ve never heard of that last one.
Or unironically use such imaginative and devastating insults as “Amerikkka”/“Imperial Core” (USA), “The Empire” (NATO), “Ukronazi”, or “Isntreal” towards countries they don’t like and want genocided
So… basically, all this time I’ve been using what started out as an alt-left version of Truth Social?
While this does explain a LOT, I’m still gonna keep using Lemmy since a lot of good has definitely come out of it too (think the antique memes, c/nostupidquestions and the one-user art c/‘s), and unlike Reddit it’s open-source, so even the corrupt programmers lack complete control over it; every instance is merely a reflection of the person who made it. And at least .world has somewhat saner people, which is probably why its native user accounts outnumber ml ones nearly 4:1. What are they gonna do, double-block this community from ml?
America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: THEY’RE STILL EVIL! FASCIST THIS FASCIST THAT!!! AAAAAAH I HATE MY COUNTRY SO MUCH WE ARE SO GENOCIDAL AND RACIST! HOW MANY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DICKS SHOULD I SUCK TO ATONE FOR THIS?
China today: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: UNBELIEVABLY BASED!
Burgerland? Wow, this is just sad. That person probably doesn’t go outside often. Good thing that unlike the site that must not be named, this is FOSS so it’s a lot harder for them to ban the /c’s outside of ml and lemmygrad they disagree with unlike the tankie admins on that site.

There are some that make fun of this trope among the ones other than the well-known 096, 4666 and 682. like the joke scp “SCP-WTF-J” (whose entry is self-contradictory, needlessly complex and was likely just a prank by Dr. Bright) and the one I forget with Dr. Safe’s Safe safe, Dr. Euclid’s Euclid Safe, Drs. Safe, Euclid and Keter’s Keter safe and the Thaumiel-class thawed meals that keep the Keter safe as safe as Dr. Safe’s Safe safe
It’s incredibly well-funded and has more ears in places and tricks up its sleeve than the CIA.
It also has stories from its Japanese and Italian branches, and in the early days of the war in Ukraine I remember seeing a wiki post by one of their Ukraine-based authors about the possibility of the invasion inspiring a few future “SCP-XYZ-UA” stories. Baba Yaga (a creature from Russian folklore) is also an SCP.
