Blame Disney, they're the one who funded the "documentary" about them.

I never saw the documentary, but I killed a lot of virtual lemmings.

The game was made as it was because of the myth perpetuated by the documentary. On Linux, there was no lemmings game, it was called pingus and it was penguins you killed instead (there may have be a lemmings for Linux, but the first version of Linux I installed myself had pingus already installed).

I do understand that, really, I do.

i don't think you do.

hey! somebody post an even longer paragraph including the history of lemmings and at least 3 barely related anecdotes.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

I actually do understand the point, my responses now are specifically to annoy know-it-all assholes who insist I don’t get it.

You become what you hate most sometimes.

Sucks, doesn't it?

Your reply is nonsense. AlI said is that I didn’t see the documentary, and clearly indicated that my long since corrected personal misunderstanding about such a thing was directly due to a childhood video game. If you or others insist on being ignorant douches about that, I can’t stop you.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
