A dude asking how to remove a cock ring on the lemmy.world support page

Post was removed before we knew.

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 1 year ago

I mean, I'm guessing he got it off before he realised it was stuck.

The other day, I saw an A-list Hollywood actress going around Lemmy shitposting and promoting her latest movie on Lemmy.

She's obviously very talented and very hot and deserves to finally get an Oscar this year, but I would say it's pretty bizzare.

Also she's now the top mod of !android@lemmy.world for some reason.

You know, come to think of it, how do we know you're the real Spider-man and not some imposter?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't Spiderverse cover this?

Wait is this some sort of joke I'm not privy to? That's not actually Margot Robbie right? I can never tell what's real on the internet nowadays.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Of course I am, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie go on the Internet to lie to you? Because she thinks messing with a bunch of tech people on a niche forum is hilarious?

That would be pretty bizarre.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know what's more weird. Margot Robbie being on lemmy, or that Margot Robbie is a fan of android devices over iOS devices.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, I have preferences too, but people can like what they like, my preferences for phones is no more or less valid than anyone else's.

Self referencing meme accounts were something I hoped we'd be leaving behind on Reddit.

As a gay guy, Margot is pretty hot, but she's no Robert De Niro.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Ahem. That's Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you.

It's because of De Niro's 2 Oscars, right? 😭

Also usernames that are just emojis. That's just so odd. I'm not even sure how to think of their username in terms of pronouncing it.

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 11 points 1 year ago

I pronounce it as "that guy with the emojis as a username"

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Interesting fact. The Unicode Consortium, which defines what is an emoji and how they are encoded in text, has an official list of descriptive short names for almost all 3k+ of then. So although they don't have pronunciations, they do have names.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, I knew a reddit user whose name wasca string of uppercase Is snd lowercase Ls.

lemmy.world blocking access to some of their biggest communities.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I only know about piracy. What else did they block access for?
