Fair enough haha. Decided to look it up myself and apparently it was a trend started by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Newspapers liked using the initials since it saved space in headlines so it kind of stuck around.
Not entirely on topic but I'm curious, why do people include the F. In John F. Kennedy? Was there another well known John Kennedy at the time?
I'm old enough to remember when iPods first came out but somehow I didn't realise podcast came from the word iPod. TIL!
Minecraft is still really good if you just ignore the fact that Bedrock exists

I want to stay ontop of the news for this whole conflict/genocide but this shit is dépressing the hell outta me. I don't understand how anybody could treat other human beings the way Isreal is in this.
Edit: especially children like what the fuck
I think it's because the Conservatives are the only ones campaigning right now. I'd imagine once an election is called Trudeau and Singh (or whoever replaces them) will start campaigning a lot more.
But yeah I'm not overly hopeful either...
No, honestly it's probably the opposite of a valuable trait in this case tbh
I noticed the exact same thing. So many comments either celebrating Trump or just saying that everyone is being dramatic and Trump will be fine. I've also seen a lot of comments calling reddit an "extreme left echo chamber" which is just funny
OTTAWA - A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.
OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.
Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.
“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”
“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”
Wait he was a Democrat?
Canada says similar but it's looking like we'll vote in our own (more coherant) Trump anyway
I remember back when people were so pedantic over that. Happy people don't really care anymore
That's awesome! Beginning your social media journey with the fediverse is great :)
If so, how'd you hear about lemmy?
It feels like everyone here came from reddit but I'm curious if anyone found lemmy organically
