"Read that again"

A sentence that never follows something of value

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 49 points 10 months ago

I love that the "read that again" is part of the quote of an unknown source quoting a nameless "wise man".

LOUDER

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

A SENTENCE!

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 83 points 10 months ago (3 children)

instructions unclear, i've been reading this in a loop for the past 7 hours

[–] jonne 30 points 10 months ago

That's how you end up with massive AWS bills.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 20 points 10 months ago

Oh, but did you try reading it again louder?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Seriously, though, what are we supposed to be looking for in the second readthrough? I can't find any sort of typo or hidden message.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

"For the people in the back"? The back of where? What is this man talking about? I'm not on stage. I'm in my living room, waiting for the kettle to boil. Are there people in my house? Who are "the people in the back"? I'm reading this sentence out loud but it still sounds fucking stupid. Help me, bald man with beard!

LinkedIn is finally allowed by Scarfolk council

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Now with more pixels!

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Thanks, reread in hi-res!

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

I mean from the flies' perspective the opposite is probably true, so wygd

I think grown bees don't eat honey

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In my experience they do.
I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Smart people don't bother explaining to dumb people how dumb they are.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

And yet the post and the message both try to get you to explain it by reading it again or louder.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You know... I actually agree with this one. This is why I don't go around telling people Linux is better.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks for a sane comment to build on.

I actually think it is a fault of the American educated class that they assume that the uneducated people understand what they missed.

We all think everyone gets it or will get it with some Cliffs Notes.

That just isn’t true.

Honey is bee shit

[–] teft@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s bee puke.

Tomato tomatoe

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

"Hey, boss, why do we have to lick shit? Isn't there a lot of honey?" - "That is just s myth, now eat your shit."

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

Good advice, why concern yourself with the opinions of LESSER MORTALS?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There is a saying that "honey attracts more flies than vinegar" but this has me wondering if honey would attract more flies than a pile of shit. 🤔

[–] 01189998819991197253 1 points 10 months ago

Who has a direct like with Veritasium? Let's get this done.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Ok, being a fly, try breaking into a beehive and laying your eggs in their honey, see how well it goes for you. Or just be thankful that you answer to no queen and all the world's shit is yours for the taking.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 4 points 10 months ago

this is recursive, people will never stop reading this forever until they die of starvation.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Typo in the alt text

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thank you 🫡

now the question is whether the edit will federate

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are there known issues with that?

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

I've seen it first hand

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sh*t
