In french, the most common name is probably "beu" which is a contraction of "beuher" which is verlan (a type of slang where you reverse the word) for "herbe".
This was distorted in a movie to "beuze" , which was then given the verlan treatment again (this happens often) to "zeb", hence my personal favorite "zebuline". Mind you, that's not a common name that's a personal one I use often.
That's why i call it "a bitter adolescent thing". Building identities and communities about "bad behaviours other people supposedly have" is very common in children.
Nobody really cares about what you do with your life. What you identify as "wild personal attacks" is probably benign behaviour which you choose to interpret dramatically. If people actually attacked you for these topics you would remove yourself from them. The only people who cannot remove themselves from the toxic people in their lives are children.
A common occurrence is that while a stock drops it hits the trigger price for shorts, which can make it bounce
I am an aggressively mediocre singer but the 2 hour rehearsal on Monday is the highlight of my week. It's so fucking fun man!
Baby boomers would eat their own children at the first occasion
Yeah there was a big trend in the 20th century to systematically remove wisdom teeth, tonsils and the like. But it turns out most of the time it's not medically necessary, and some research suggests it can be detrimental.
Would be epic and funny but the stock is still at a higher price than it was at the time of the Twitter purchase. It would need to dip much lower for this to happen.
I don't think we're the right demographic to judge that as our view is very distorted by our own experience. The reddit "exodus" is barely a blip in their daily user count - in fact DAU has gone up by 50% since the API changes which is huge especially for a mature platform. This makes it very desirable as it shows that the more aggressive monetization effort doesn't in fact drive users away.
"I'm asking a question on the internet but will flame you for giving an honest answer"
Then why are you here?
When you read that stuff on reddit there's a parameter you need to keep in mind : these people are not really discussing Lemmy. They're rationalizing and justifying why they are not on Lemmy. Totally different conversation.
Nobody wants to come out and say "I know mainstream platforms are shit and destroying the fabric of reality but I can't bring myself to be on a platform except it is the Hip Place to Be". So they'll invent stuff that paints them in a good light.
You'll still see people claiming that Mastodon is unusable because you have to select an instance - even though you don't have to, you can just type Mastodon on Google, click the first link, and create an account in 2 clicks. It's been ages. But the people still using Twitter need the excuse because otherwise what does it make them?
I would assume the reason is that young disenfranchised males are easy to radicalize into a personal army. Every war lord knows and uses this age old trick.
