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.
There’s gotta be something…
Oof ouch my eyeballs
Lol
We use the same app AND settings
(For anyone who’s curious: the app’s “Eternity for Lemmy”, the
predecessorsuccessor of “Infinity for reddit”)predecessor
I think you meant successor.
Yeah, thanks. Fixed it.
(English isn’t my first language)
English isn’t my first language
It isn’t mine either, we’re all learning :)
This the way
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
Wtf is rizz?
He got rizz = he’s got game (?)
If that helps. I’ve read here recently it’s short for “charisma”
Oh no i didn’t know what rizz meant. I had to look it up mid this year. Gg life, im now going downhill for sure :(
Pretty based of you to admit.
Unfortunately “based” has lost all meaning to just become “controversial thing/person I kinda agree with but don’t want to say so directly”
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!
Lots of languages do upsilon, it comes from greek
Every single other letter
Noooo, you forgot “and z” has two /s
I call it zed or zee both have one syllable ri8?
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.
Not exclusively, but sometimes.
Duh-b
Honestly don’t think it’s universal, but most of the time, yeah.
u ever think about how world wide web is 3 syllables and double u double u double u is 9?
dub dub dub ftw
The moment when we change to dark mode and then we need to see shit posts with big white screenshots
Totally
Bright mode? [Hiss.]
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.
I was there when it was written
is double v
Still a dub
Latin didn’t have the letter U, so they wrote V when they said U
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?
