"Technically a hurricane machine would cause weather change not climate change."

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 22 points 9 hours ago

Funny how they never get the message that maybe GOD IS PISSED at them.

Twitter or Threads? Threads has got some of the stupidest people, biggest trolls, or Dollar Store AI writing stuff on the platfom. It’s literally so bad that I have a genuinely hard time believing anyone could be so stupid to write the kind of material presented there.

This would be par for the course on Threads.

This is satire for sure

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago

I might be wrong but I think this is satire.

How can I apply to become a globohomo? I mean I'm a straight beta male but still, I would love to join the movement.

Like one specific tree, or I get to pick?

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nah the tree picks you. You'll know it when you see it.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It is nice to feel wanted.

Okay, I'm in.

I'm hoping for a weeping willow; tears make for excellent lube.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Instructions unclear, got my ass full of splinters

[–] AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

no you got the instructions right, the splinters are an important part of the experience

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 5 hours ago

Well, that's what ya get for not lubing up correctly, that ones on you bud.

This is an actual term apparently in common circulation, though homophobia wasn't even its original intent: https://glaad.org/globohomo-definition-meaning-anti-lgbt-online-hate/

Emerging in 2016, this multi-purpose, right-wing troll invention combines homophobia and anti-Semitism. Researcher David Futrelle’s well-known misogyny tracking site We Hunted The Mammoth offers this summary: “Ostensibly, ‘globohomo’ is short for ‘global homogenization,’ an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy ‘traditional’ culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture. But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, ‘globo’ means ‘globalist’ and therefore Jews; while ‘homo’ (the suffix) means, well, ‘homo’ (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that ‘globohomo’ isn’t gay-sounding enough, add ‘gayplex’ to it — ‘globohomogayplex.’).” According to the Online Hate Research and Education Project, white nationalists and other hate movements use “globohomo” to allege the existence of a global plot to promote the so-called ‘‘LGBTQ+ agenda,” a similarly minded conspiracy theory (promoted by certain sectors of the Christian religious right) alleging that LGBTQ people aim to surpass the rights of other groups and “groom youth into identifying as part of the community.”

I thought globohomo was an alternate name for corporate Memphis?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

and how do you think they arrived there? They think large corporations that have to toe the line with HR are using it.

Corporations : globo

HR : homo.

NB : I do not agree with these views, I merely understand what the views are and I am trying to educate mr kralk

I found a good use for AI:

Undo bad language censoring in meme screen shots.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

For most of these you don't need AI, just basic Photoshop skills.

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 42 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Man this shit infuriates me to no end. Why?!

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Fucking tiktok trained them like dogs.

You can't be popular on that platform unless you self censor.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 38 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Americans are scared of profanity.

The Profane Globohomos.

Has a nice ring to it.

Or a basketball team.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 90 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

The part I don't get is that there are so many cool, real conspiracies out there to be explored

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

This is so Carl Sagan.

And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”

...

And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.

A candle in the dark?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And that's just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it's boring

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Mkultra is almost always used to justify all conspiracies, as if the government can do that, there is no limit to what they can do. That and the tuskegee experiments, the main reason black antivaxxers are likely to hold their beliefs.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

They don't have as large a marketing budget.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 24 points 17 hours ago

But how are you going to feel smarter than everyone else, if everyone gets convinced by your conspiracy theory?

Thank god I can't see that that says bullshit... oh wait

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 37 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh fuck you just corrupted the fuck out of me. What in actual fuck is wrong with you, writing that on the Internet where people can read it?

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 11 points 14 hours ago

Well damn, terribly sorry, I've been a real fucking ass hat towards you all, allow me to apologize like the bastard I am

Bro. Ppl gonna see this and be like “THAT’S RIGHT!”

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 22 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Better to identify them. ;)

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Oh, don't you worry, they'll identify themselves for you without any additional encouragement.

Globohomo here too, ready for next year's globohomo pride??

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I hope they bring enough body oil this time. Last year the budget was blown on chemtrails and ketamine. I was chafing SO bad during the gay satanic orgy

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Do what I do and stash an emergency bottle in the ol' prison wallet

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This sounds like a rage troll.

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 13 points 13 hours ago

It just sounds sarcastic to me.

[–] ThomasLadder_69@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago

Its satire...

[–] don@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Broke mob propaganda.
