Run around dressed as a bat beating people to a vegetative state

Batman’s no kill policy is definitely not for any kind of moral objection to taking lives, that’s for sure. He brutalizes normal ass people with extreme excessive force on the regular. There’s no chance that none of these people succumb to their injuries soon after. It’s probably just to make himself feel better about it, a cope that allows him to justify it all by saying he didn’t necessarily inflict mortal wounds on purpose.

Most liberals believe history began in 2022. This one happens to be an advanced liberal who believes history started in the summer of 2023

“Restrict it’s usage” lmao, no. The restrictions on alcohol are not comparable in any universe to the restrictions on illegal drugs that you can literally be put into prison for using.

It literally does not matter that N2O is not perfectly harmless because nothing is, you absolute rube. There are OTC products massively more dangerous that will never be banned because the demographics that tend to use them aren’t widely maligned by the rich, old pieces of shit in power. That includes alcohol.

Fuck you if you think your right to not have to smell weed or whatever in public makes it okay to throw people into prison.

I don’t buy that they are banning it because of people getting high. That makes not one iota of sense while alcohol is still legal and much more harmful to your health.

This really is just another instance of boomers trying to get one last fuck you in to their children and grandchildren before they walk out the door.

Can’t wait to read this exact same headline every year until I die of heatstroke

It says they’ll make exceptions for legitimate uses, I assume that includes making whipped cream. It’ll probably just be much harder to legally get your hands on it unless you run a catering company or restaurant.

CO2 would cause the cream to sour as a result of it’s acidity, and plain nitrogen isn’t soluble enough, so it’s probably not very easily replaced.

Fun and abundant drug with minimal long or short term health consequences: exists

Breaking the law is actually cool and good. Ideally, I think people should break the law more often, not less often.

It’s mind blowing to me that particles with no inherent physical shape or dimension can be considered “spinning” not because we observe them spinning but because they have literally all the characteristics of a spinning particle other than actual rotation around an axis

I was somewhat against removing downvotes when we initially did that, but wow was I wrong. Terrible reddit-tier feature that needs to be trashed.

Earth is a good one if you’re only interested in time traveling on your home planet that happens to be Earth. But for a more universal perspective, I suppose the CMBR is the least arbitrary frame among all arbitrary frames

Youtube’s use of A/B testing is very smart in that it’s actually nothing about testing user response and all about limiting the number of people they piss off at once with their god awful changes.

The day I can’t block ads on the internet is the day I stop using the internet.

The funny thing is, the bigger these threads get over on Hexbear federated instances, the more users from instances like .ca, .ee, or .ml show up complaining about the Hexbears. That stays small in proportion to the actual discussion in the thread, but eventually becomes large in proportion to the stunted version of the thread that .world sees. So despite being defederated with us, .world threads slowly fill up with spam from users complaining about “Hexbear brigaders” as it leaks in and piles up from discussions and dunkings outside of their federation network.

Lemmy.world seems to be the only instance that would have been big enough to downvote us down the thread as viewed from other instances, but they defederated so we can’t see them and they can’t see us at all.

The rest that are federated don’t have the numbers to do this, especially when you consider a large chunk of them are lemmygrad users who are posting side by side with us. So overall our higher posting activity (that is partially a result of the lack of downvotes changing how we interact) results in Hexbear user heavy discussions rising to the top of threads even as viewed from other instances.

To see the whole structure, go over to lemmy.ml or lemmygrad, find this thread there, then scroll. Toward the bottom you’ll find a sort of underworld in this thread of lemmy.world users downvoting lemmygrad users into oblivion.

394 from the perspective of Hexbear. The pre-emptive lemmy.world defederation with Hexbear effectively splits big threads like this into two sections. At the top is the much higher activity Hexbear posting, and at the bottom is the lower activity lemmy.world posting where instead of substantive discussion, people who are in support of China just get downvoted to oblivion.

Ironically, Hexbear’s total removal of downvotes on their end confers an advantage here. Discussions and dunkings involving a lot of Hexbear users tend to rise to the top of threads sorted by hot because the lack of downvotes promotes actual discussion upon disagreement. This results in higher activity levels than those produced by the passive downvoting behavior typical of more reddit-like instances.
