Hey this is a public service announcement, ESPECIALLY for the younger generation -- "cringe" and "cringe culture" and policing generations expressions by taunting them and calling everything you see cringe is literally an Alt Right Pipe Line. Yes I am correct and no I will not be taking any questions.

[kaity--did]

okay let me break this down even simpler for yall

YOU CAN EITHER BE CRINGE OR YOU CAN BE BORING AS FUCK

[benbeetle99-deactivated20251013]

You are genuinely correct about this and i hope people arent taking it as an overdramatic statement.

A little less than 10 years ago i was a teenager on the internet who watched cringe compilations on youtube. Literally every single person in those clips were either feminists, trans, autistic, furries, fat, mentally ill in some form, or LITERAL CHILDREN, etc.

It was QUITE LITERALLY an alt right pipeline. We were laughing at feminists protesting for gender equality, for fucks sake. My youtube recommendations were plagued with right wing videos and debates from watching these.

You are 100% allowed to dislike certain media and fandoms and whatnot but publicly shaming them is not only low-brow, but close minded and gullible behaviour, to say the least. Is that person with a Sonic self insert really hurting you at the end of the day? When you think other peoples harmless behaviour needs to be policed, you are already slipping.

The older you get the more you realize being cringe isnt bad. Infact i seriously dont care if people personally cringe at me. Because im letting myself do things i love without shame, so really im the one whos winning

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

there's not a single example I could give that's better than this

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

Tumblr did not “Goncharov” Poob. Poob is Glupp Shittoing Tubi/Pluto/Roku Channel/Hulu/etc.

[gender-luster]

none of these words are in the bible. or the dictionary, for that matter.

[hugintheraven]

#While this is a joke#For the etymologists out there#Tumblr did not “goncharov” poob#translation: Tumblr is not making a fictitious thing called poob that we insist is real#Poob is glup shittoing (streaming services)#Translation: Poob is now a generic name for whatever streaming platform is out there when you don't feel like naming something specifically

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

link to the original study

Basically, increased co2 concentration in the air makes plants make more carbohydrates, but not take in more nutrients from the soil, so they grow faster but have a lower density of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they're "breathing" more efficiently and actually using slightly less water, so they're taking in even fewer nutrients. And the faster growth can't make up for the rates of damage due to climate instability (droughts, floods, extreme heat etc).

The research shows approximately a 3% drop in nutrient density since the 1980s, particularly in carbohydrate heavy crops (like most starchy staple foods), but so many people around the globe depend on those crops for over half their diet that it's very easy for them to fall into malnutrition without access to more expensive shit like enriched products, supplements, and even just fruits and vegetables. Like all the effects of the climate crisis, this impacts those least responsible first.

I forgot to eat dinner so I'm having 11 pm corn on the cob. This counts as a meal

... It's possible that I really need to do some grocery shopping

[hellenhighwater]

Okay for those of you living in pitiful ignorance, take a raw ear of corn with the husk on and cut all the way around the base (as pictured: above the point where the husk meets the cob, so that the entire husk is severed but still wrapped around the corn. Do not cut through the cob.) Then, with the husk still on, microwave it for 5-7 minutes. It'll basically steam it inside the husk. Remove from microwave --it will be hot, so use a mitt or a towel--and firmly pull the top of the husk/silk, which should come off easily in one piece, unsheathing a flawless corn on the cob. If it doesn't, you probably need to cut a little higher around the base, so all the leaves are severed. No picking off silk!

[hellenhighwater]

For the nonbelievers (and for me, a second corn)

reproductive rights is not a euphemism for abortion rights or the right of people to become pregnant, it also includes the rights of trans women to not be forcibly sterilized to get gender marker changes or the ability to freeze sperm. but those two things rarely make it on the radar even when trans women's reproductive rights are under attack.

Put fascism in the bin!

Count Binface

Ok, so the UKs version of Trump is Farage.

And he just stepped down, though not really, to stop a ton of investigation into his financial misconduct and crimes* (*allegedly, yer right🙄).

He's running again for his own bloody Seat as MP. Because the original punishment for it would have been to have to step down, and be barred from running again.

Basically trying to claim this by-election counts as people saying they don't care about the very blatant bribes*. (*allegedly🙄). To make it basically impossible to actually bar him.

Farage thought he'd geta ton of press, and face down all the big political parties; giving him a better chance at becoming the PM....

Well erm no 🙂‍↔️. None of them stood because this by-election isn't legit. So now Farage is up against a guy dressed as a bin! 😆

Ok imagine Trump Vs the dumpsterfire and your basically there. (Well technically Binface is an intergalactic space warrior/ comedian who really likes democracy).

We've all hoping 🤞, even though the Seat is in extremely far right area. And this is the latest polling.

But even if Count Binface doesn't win, Farage is basically fecked unless he can get as good a win or better than last time.

(Yer Very unlikely, as he pissed off his bace big time with this smeg. Bye-elections are very expensive. And he's not been turning up for the job of MP, just campaigning for PM).

But wish Clacton luck on the 13th August 2026.

Count Binface's backstory

"I’m an intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons from planet Sigma IX. I came to Earth in 2017 and stood against Prime Minister Theresa May (as ‘Lord Buckethead’), going went viral (in a non-Covid way). Then in 2018, after an unfortunate battle on the planet Copyright, I rewspawned in my true form as Count Binface to take on Boris Johnson in the 2019 election, where I scored a surprising 69. In 2021, I received 92,896 votes (including 24,775 first choice votes) from the humans of London, who made me their 9th choice to be Mayor of the Earth capital, out of 20 candidates. This is a new record for an alien standing for public office on planet Earth. (I also defeated Piers Corbyn and UKIP in the process.) In 2023, I came 8th in the Uxbridge (and South Ruislip) by-election, winning 190 votes with a 275% increase from 2019. I defeated Piers Corbyn and UKIP again in the process. I campaign for justice, lasers, Lovejoy, affordable croissants and the return of Ceefax. In 2024 I fought to be London Mayor again, winning 24,260 votes and defeating Britain First, and then took on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the General Election in Richmond & Northallerton, achieving a (moral) victory with 308 votes.

These are factual results. My best fictional result is in the hit TV show Industry (Season Four, Episode Two), where I take on Kit Harington in Wakefield (not a sports hall in Cardiff) and win 309 votes!

My hobbies include invading star systems, dominating inferior species, and the Lovejoy box set."

Gentle reminder

Farage wants to:-

Privatize the NHS, have an insurance system like USA's

leave the ECHR

repeal the Equality Act

Strip back workers rights

Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts

repeal the Renters’ Rights Act

Removing taxes on crypto, because he got given a lot of cash by them to do so

What has the ECHR ever done for us:-

the right to a fair trial

the right privacy freedom from torture and degrading treatment

freedom of religion freedom of expression

freedom from discrimination

freedom and from slavery

protecting victims of domestic violence

peace and Northern Ireland, the Good Friday agreement depends on the convention of European human rights

and the ECHR is British

Do you really think you boss would or government wouldn't feck you over without these protections?
