Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Meanwhile school children are saying 67 to each other as hype

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Every generation has this.

Gen Alpha - 67

Gen Z - Damn Daniel / What are those

Millennials - Rawr x3 / 1337sp33k

so on and so fourth

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

What does the fox say?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

6-7 is different.

Everything else was a reference to something. It meant something, it had implications. You could play around with it

6-7 is meaningless. It's not even a subversion of a meme... It's just a noise

AKA a circular reference, it just points at itself

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

6-7 is the same as Damn Daniel or What Are Those, it's just repetition of a viral meme

It is a reference to a meme and there is a lot of room to play around with

Has every gen Z forgotten that laughing at meaningless numbers was a whole bit in an early Spongebob episode?

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

But 6*7 is 42. So...

Let us pray they do not form a brain rot alliance with the chimps.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 52 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

1976, chimps crack open the spring runway season with rustic grass earings, embracing eco-design.

1978, Vultures, unlikely contenders in the birdsphere, shock the fashion world by plunging themselves headfirst, literally, into colour.

Then, after four long years of (shocker) decorator crabs dominating the covers, the orcas, just when we thought the monochrome mammals had nothing new to offer, seize our fall lineup with dead salmon helmets. A statement on the cold war? On Vietnam? The rapidly decaying environment? The orcas refused to comment.

Chimps, forgotten but not forgetting, know they need to step up if they're going to make waves again. Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

You win today's internet. Thank you 🥇🥇🥇

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Orcas did something similar, but instead of sticking grass up their ass, they balanced salmon on their heads. They also started this again quite recently after decades.

The 90s are back baby!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fashion always come in and out of style in a cycle, so that makes sense.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 2 weeks ago

So why is it always post ww2 stuff? When are hobble skirts coming back for women and straw hats for men? I want that Ponzi look!

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 22 points 2 weeks ago

The human equivalent of furries with faux tail anal plugs.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In fact, the researchers suspect the chimps learned the behaviour from people — the ear part, that is.

Uh huh. Only the ear part.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Somebody just walked in with this:

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

I mean you want to be cool don't you?

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t knock it til you tried it.

[–] RePsyche@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Some chimp, “I bet you can’t stick grass up your bunghole.” Some other chimp, “oh yeah, hold my banana, watch this.” Doubtless.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jane Goodall was still alive when this article came out. It's nice to know she probably read about that, if not saw this live, before her demise.

Butt fashion belongs on those golden plates on Voyager (https://tess.lemmy.ca/post/lemmy.ca/54718422).

Adventure time warned about the danger of the highly addictive dropball game

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

And it's a high-intensity game designed for people everywhere!

Also there is this band that often plays with roses in their butts (sry, can't find a better link than old.reddit/let_3_had_roses_hanging/). So we def have the same mechanic, not just the same sense for fashion.

I've also read that scarves can mean something to street dogs (positive or negative), and speculation that them fancy rings we gift birbs to tag them might affect them socially too in some cases.

[–] Acidbath@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Next time I'm going ape shit, im gonna show them this picture

Human weirdness to chimps: We're not so different, you and I.
