The limerick packs laughs anatomical

Into space that is quite economical

But the good ones I've seen

So seldom are clean

And the clean ones so seldom are comical

There once was a man from Miami

Whose business dealings were quite scammy

He just wouldn't stop

Til he was tricked by a cop

And now he spends time in the slammy

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Damned expansionists!

What are they refering to? Is Ireland losing its independence or something?

[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a fash group complaining about immigration

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe they should have listened to the president when he gave a speech about even fucking St Patrick being an immigrant.

I'm not Irish, but I loved Micheal Higgins' speeches on St Patrick's day and Xmas/New year. Electing a poet to be a figurehead leads to some amazing speeches.

There are two county Limerick on the map shown, along with a county Death. So the fash group that posted this doesn't even know the counties that they're "losing".

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Losing counties to what, Exactly? Someone said immigration, so is it just "lose" by having more immigrants etc?

There was a lady from Reno She lost all her money playing Keno So she lay on her back And opened her crack Now she owns the casino

That might not be quite right because it is from memory.

I have a large purple book of the rudest limericks printed back in the 70s. My parents had it on the bookshelf when I was a kid and boy did that form the sense of humor I have.

There is a multi limerick story of a man that balanced himself on his erect penis as a trick.

Lemme guess, the inset map is Ai slop.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 22 points 3 months ago

Obviously so.

I am super excited about AI in general. But I think it's really disheartening to see the lack of critical thinking and non-existent quality control by its users. Seeing a lot of teachers using generative AI to produce assignments and homework for kids, often with really dumb inaccuracies in them.

Even if AI gets better, it won't help if the users don't take any responsibility.

I love Ireland from MAYO to DEATH!

[–] derek@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

How very... American.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 3 months ago

with what little i know of ireland, derry being just a grey blob with dark text might be a threat

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

I couldn't tell if any of the names are real without looking it up, but the duplicates caught my eye

[–] TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It left out Cork, bastards.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It's coming from Russia.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 6 points 3 months ago

of course, on a city-sized boat

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 6 points 3 months ago

What about the County of Slop?

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to come up with a joke about the county called Tyrone that isn't racist

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Tyrone is a real county in Northern Ireland.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That one actually exists and is at least roughly the right location and shape.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

Somewhere my very fenian grandfather is spinning in his grave at my piss poor knowledge of Irish counties.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The way Derry looks like it's photoshopped is weirding me out.

I imagine it originally said Londonderry, and that confused the fuck out of the plastic paddy that got an ai to make this.

But they didn't notice ARMagh under it.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago

There are other smooth bits on the map so it's probably just the AI shitting the bed.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

Guys they're just pirates from ARRRmagh!

[–] Una@europe.pub 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, Croatia is slowly colonizing Ireland.

[–] funbreaker@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

A lot of the west coast seems to have no name.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We’ve had second Limerick, but what about second Stago?
