A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

I love it when people who visit try to preach to an American the truth about America.

Shitting on poor people sure is something you can do.

God forbid the focus be where the actual corruption is and not scrutinizing a family’s choice to get grocery delivery after working 80+ hours a week.

Good job actually focusing on the real issues, oh enlightened one.

I don't know how many different ways I can say that I have pity for you lot,

Once again, I refer to the things that you appear to have missed, where I specifically excluded grocery delivery

This is why I can't take you seriously. You are either ignoring things that I'm trying to go out of my way to communicate, or you're too thick to understand

I'm not your enemy

But, once again, I don't value your opinion, and I am quite happy to admit that it's because you're American

You'd have to surprise the shit out of me with something clever for me to take you seriously, and let's face it

That's not going to happen here

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Bullshit, you said you still can’t understand why people do grocery delivery.

You don’t understand the words you’re saying apparently.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world -2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm going to do what I should have done a while ago and ignore you now

Enjoy living in your shitty country and I hope that you don't die from a perfectly treatable disease because an insurance company needed to make a rich white wine guy another few million dollars

Or, ya know, get shot or something

Either way, good luck

Fuck off already.
