Never change Lemmy
(lemmy.world)
Good lord this screenshot hurts my eyes. Use dark mode for goodness sake
Light mode during the day, dark mode at night
I’m reading this at night though. Think of all the poor souls that will get flashbanged in the next few hours.
I'm a victim
Not that it matters but it’s a little insane that 8 people thought to downvote you because of how you choose your theme settings.
Like I’m dark mode on everything at all times, but I won’t downvote you for being different. Some folk be wack.

Doesn't that mean your brightness is set too high?
No your Mode is wrong!
So that's how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up 'based' on urban dictionary.
Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.
Twas a tubular time.
"Cowabunga" shouldn't have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.
Wow. I totally thought it was just a Ninja Turtles thing. Thanks for that info.
Ninja Turtles got it from 60's surfer slang (since that's how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.
I'm curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of "rizz" but that's probably due to the circles I've been in.
Based has been around for 10+ years. So weird hearing people say it again

This post is the first time that I realized reply lines were in rainbow order.
Is it really pronounced "dub"? I've never heard it spoken.
I internally say massive win but I do hear youtubers call it massive double u
Ironic that pronouncing a single letter is more cumbersome than the full word.
u v DOUBLE U x y z
"Every single other letter is one syllable, can we just pronounce this one 'wuh'"?
"No, it must have THREE!"
English is indeed a funny language.
Germans: "Ridiculous! We will pronounce it like 'vay'".
"Well, that's a lot..."
"...AND 'Y' WILL BE 'OOPSILON'"!
ಠ_ಠ
TIL!

I always hear it as double u
Yeah, unless it was a really important win, then you might say it out entirely to emphasize your utter dominance over them.
Duh-b
Not exclusively, but sometimes.

Bright mode? [Hiss.]
I was there when it was written
So this is why Golden State Warriors are called "Dubs"! Today I learned.
The nickname comes from people shortening Warriors to the letter W. The shorter form of the letter W is pronounced "Dub." It also helps that W represents the word "win" in the world of sports, so when their fans refer to them as the Dubs, they are also referring to the team as winners.
is double v
Still a dub

Hey! I’ve been invited to sports before. Some people think that me being large, tough, and angry would make me good at roller derby, unfortunately I’m also uncoordinated even when sober
If this some light mode joke I'm too dark mode to be able to read?
noun-pilled.
Wait is this person using Lemmy on a mobile browser?
Is it comfortable to use?
It's Summit for Lemmy.

I recognized my baby immediately when I saw the screenshot 💜
Thanks! I'm using Boost for Lemmy atm but I'm not 100% comfortable using it.
Was this when all the Johns in the world assembled into a field to fight?
