What the hell is a loud hug? D-do you moan while hugging the recipient?

The person being hugged screams from the pain.

I'm convinced most people still don't understand what "all cops are bastards" actually means.

"bUt My UnClE/dAd/BrOtHeR/fRiEnD iS a CoP" Yeah, now imagine how many situations where they had to bite their tongue and look away because interfering would lose their job.

Even the "good" cops aren't really good because even if they try to stop other cops from being bad they'll be punished. Being a cop is just being in a govt sanctioned gang.

I wish it was a guillotine blade instead of a razor blade.

[–] cmhickman358@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Maybe it's a guillotine blade sized razor blade

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would be useless. Guillotine blades were thick, heavy, and had that ironic angled shape for the specific purpose of lobbing off heads efficiently. Razor blade would be terrible at that, no matter how big.

Guillotine's before the angled blade were shitty.

I wonder I would explain the format given I'm the resident Californian with neighbors who have signs like this. Here's an example:

Which itself I think is a riff off a more conservative religious sign. Can't find the OG, but this made me laugh on Etsy:

(The stock model photoshopped in is as confused about this as we are, naturally).

Lastly, this whole hunt got images had me find this, which made me smile.

Which I give the authentic Etsy link cause fuck those first two people.

Context! I somehow didn't think Wikipedia would have that.

[–] j_roby@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I almost felt bad leaving that link, because it seemed like you put in some work gathering that info lol

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's supplemental, and meant to be funny. Besides, only three Google searches. I mostly just wanted to give context to our European friends out there!

But, I still think there's an original religious sign the 2016 one was based on. I'm not sure if the wiki mentions it, mostly remember "in this house we believe in (insert religion here)" signs from years ago. Obviously not rainbow colored though, lol

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Couldn't find the original but i found some fun ones! The last one is exceptional.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Kindness is everything

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My neighbor has that sign. My neighbor at my last house had that sign too. They're very popular around here.

Love is love

Baby, don't hurt me

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Those signs are definitely elsewhere in the us

[–] novamdomum@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Hello, here's all the things I'd like to argue about today.

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Apparently they also believe in blanket statements.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Yeah this kind of reeks of "I just found about systemic inequality yesterday and now I plan on single-handedly fixing it tomorrow" energy.

It's not ideal...

I guess it's better than being totally ignorant.

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Totally ignorant isn’t the only option outside of this.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Consider that not everyone is at the same level of progress in their journey of being unplugged from the matrix. Everyone starts somewhere, and maybe this post gave someone their quote of the year. Encourage radical thinking or post better memes. Be the change, yadda yadda.

If I had any talent at all I would 100% make a fabulous looking embroidery of this to hang in my house..

E: also I love how this has gotten so many people to openly declare both their ignorance and determination to maintain it, in their refusal to look up a topic that has been written about extensively for centuries and actually educate themselves, instead of confidently and incorrectly declaring something they know nothing about wrong or impossible or whatever capitalism has indoctrinated them to believe about its alternatives..

What’s the razor blade about?

The only billionaire I have even the slightest bit of respect for is Mark Cuban cause he actually tries to make people's lives a little easier.

Everyone else can bite bricks and or be stripped of their wealth cause they are wasting it.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

It would have made his employees lives a lot easier if he wasn't pocketing all those unpaid wages.
