I’ve gotten to the point where the sentence “We care about your privacy” is read in my head with the same inflection as a toddler saying “Just so you know, I didn’t eat the cookies you left sitting on the counter. *wiping crumbs*”

The fact that such intricate characters can even be displayed in such tiny fonts is nothing short of obscene lol, I wonder if chinese phones all have that Assistive / Readability Mode where the text is enlarged and high contrast by default, because I can’t imagine reading texts like that haha

Lmao, I just picked up learning Kanji again after like 3 years (never had time in grad school)

It is rough. But fierce repetition helps a lot. I can see the characters for “read a book” whenever I close my eyelids now hahaha

Once something turns into muscle memory you don’t forget.

Every lady I grew up with also thought this, but for whatever reason I never really had that experience. I don’t know if I was already a little heathen at that age or what, but I remember 3 of us looking up pics on dial-up internet, my two friends going “Oh wow, it looks so weird!” “I think I’ll just stick with girls honestly…” and I was over here like

“Haha, nice.”

samesies lol

Lmao well done

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Literal pottery:

I cringe internally at the part of me that once used XD unironically hahaha

Lmaooooo bussin

I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol

Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn’t visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was

“Sure…”

Needless to say, I thought “Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-” and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao

Technically a xennial, but yeah it’s a necessity lol

My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol

(Now reread it without the lols)

Elon Musk’s next mistress be like:

hahahahaha

Excellent shitpost lol

That’s because no one’s actually answering OP’s question lol

Lemmy’s slowly approaching peak reddit Q&A format: “Where can I find X?” “X is stupid, use Y.”

No wait, this could work.

If modern society has shown me anything, humankind will stop at nothing when it comes to advertizing. Imagine how much further we could get the Voyager 1 with a team of marketers attempting to get the word out about Turkish hair transplants.

We could solve the Fermi Paradox in about 10 years lol

“B-but! Carbon footprint!! Won’t someone think of the billionaires?”

This is the way.

Instead of micromanaging every tiny consumer habit, people need to keep the collective pressure focused on the largest current harm. As another good example, if they actually imposed proper international government regulations on commercial fishery plastic waste, everyone and their grandmother could use straws for the next 30 years without contributing a fraction as much ocean pollution. It’s literally 46% vs 0.03%.

And no, that zero isn’t a typo.
