Wow, groundbreaking research!
Next they’ll tell me that people on the internet have strong opinions they don’t mind sharing!
I think one can simply replace “Reddit” with “online” here. They might have done their studies on Reddit, but I expect the same behavior in any online place.
I disagree
You’re wrong! And you should feel bad!
I saw tourist@lemmy.world at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I love this pasta so much
It’s like reading a cartoon.
I love how this used to be attributed to anonymity. Then big sites with comment sections made use of real names mandatory and… nothing changed, the same people still happily spew their hateful drivel and propaganda. They’re fucking proud of it.
That’s a great point. That anonymity argument was everywhere in web1.0. Now you never hear about it.
It is still being brought up at times but yeah this ain’t about anon lol
No we don’t. That’s a lie. 🤣
Was there ever any doubt?
I myself like to argue things just to argue them. It’s a good way to find out if I’m right, or to learn thing I didn’t know, and correct my misunderstandings.
But I know that’s not everyone’s idea of a good time.
True. I oftentimes argue in favor of things I disagree with just to hear some good arguments for when I need to advocate for my beliefs other times.
No one should care that much about arguments on the internet.
Correct, this is completely opt in exercise lol
