  • I’m going to assume you are not a troll lol.

    Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

    In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

    The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

    Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

    So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

    Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know



  • “Can we have something like multireddits please”

    “Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”

    “I’m making a new Lemmy app”

    “I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”

    “Wtf is a tankie”

    “Rule”

    “[A meme about being trans]”

    “[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”

    “[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”

    “I miss Apollo”

    PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.




  • The man speaking in this clip is Nilay Patel. Hes the Editor in Chief at The Verge.

    He also used to be a lawyer before moving to journalism full time. So he knows Bullshit when he sees it.

    I used to think that The Verge were just a bunch of Apple zealots who couldn’t even do a pc build video properly. They’ve come along way since then. Reddit would be absolutely insane to try and take on something like The Verge.

    Side note , Nilay also has a podcast called Decoder where he interviews the heads of companies to get an idea of how they run and what their goals are. Its a pretty good show and I reccomend it. The one where Nilay takes on the head of Substack was hilarious
