My favorite is this version:

I still don't understand why everybody keeps talking about his fake couch fetish instead of his real dolphin fetish.

Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽

Linux Mint isn't an atomic distro. This isn't a post about switching to Linux in general from another OS; this is a post about switching from a "normal" Linux (to the extent such a thing exists) to a particular kind of Linux that handles updates in a specific, nontraditional way.

I don't want an "incredibly diverse landscape," at least not that I have to actually understand and choose between. I want there to be a single set of opinionated best practices that creates a reasonable "default" choice.

In other words, I'll switch when an atomic distro gets more popular than Ubuntu.

TIL I have to actually do stuff to make sure my pawpaws get pollinated properly. I have several trees and haven't gotten huge numbers of fruit from them, but it never crossed my mind that that wasn't just how it was supposed to be.

There isn't a housing shortage overall. There's a housing shortage in places people want to live, because NIMBYs insist on zoning restrictions that prevent developers from being allowed to build enough density to meet demand. Abolish that market manipulation and a lot of the problem would be substantially solved (along with a whole bunch of other problems like traffic, pollution, and obesity, too).

It would be nice if you could put a warning in the instructions that you're not looking for a sob story (unless, of course, you like having "misled by a shitty guidance counselor" as a weed-out criterion).

Trump Has Exposed Exploited Created the Fragility of the Global Dollar System in order to exploit it at the expense of the United States' long-term economic prosperity

There are several other articles posted on this topic that don't have credulous, Trump-sucking headlines. Therefore, there's no good reason to upvote this one.

I get that OP isn't trying to push a pro-Trump narrative given his commentary on it, but picking Bloomberg as a source was an unfortunate choice.

Not as fitting as being in office for 0 days, TBH.

So nice to see a relatively popular YouTuber embrace the Fediverse!

I didn't do it; I just grabbed the pic from knowyourmeme.com

And yet, still better than previous Popes. Just goes to show how low the bar was.

Yes, Fox News is racist in hiring only blonde white women to spread their hateful propaganda, and yes, their audience is racist for falling for the lies more readily because they're being told by a blonde white woman. Congratulations for noticing.

You bastard, you didn't quote the part whether she found it or not!

A good one would also be the whole debate about warning measures in apt so it doesn’t just happily remove essential system components like xorg. That debate came up after LinusTechTips’ video where Pop!_OS became unusable as he tried to install Steam.

Linus had to override a warning message so serious that he had to literally type in "Yes, do as I say!" -- including the exclamation point! -- in order to force it. Quit your bullshit.

This is literally true

That seems expensive for regular mushrooms.

I'm sad that my parents eventually forced me to get rid of it. At least I kept the keyboard, though.
