why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

turns out bread in georgia is very slightly different from bread in the uk, i know because i've seen pictures.

I never really thought of Bernard Cribbins as a philosopher.

No disrespect to to man like Bernard but I'd be at least highly amused to see the bunch of (possibly) former glue sniffers, truants and expert flobbers I mostly haven't seen since I wwas 14 given a shot.

that's one of the opening posts of the thread!
10 years, full circle

increasingly people are using Facebook stories. i get 5 seconds to read three sentences done as an image? what am i missing?

(videos are even worse because they don't auto-play and by the time I've clicked the button the 5 seconds is over)

(Facebook web mainly, via my phone)

FB stories are dumb and I only ever used them when I was banned because the system screwed up and still let me do them

Oh god that makes me even more glad to have stayed off FB. Is Meta turning it into another TikTok clone like they are with Instagram?

they've been available for a while but I've only ever seen one or two at a time. I've currently got 5 up there, all unwatched

oh, the one from Helen was actually 4...

You can pause a story on an iPhone/iPad by touching it and holding it. It took me years to realise this.

i hit reply, but it puts a transparent overlay on it, greying it out slightly, and brings up the keyboard obscuring the bottom half.

yeah, just clicking it does nothing, it has to be the reply box or the emojis next to it.

ugh

didn't say which generation to be fair

idea to start a pro-boomer, anti-zoomer meme page on Facebook, spend a year filling it with this shit, then suddenly start posting memes about 60s/70s music/films being boring and shit, use pure rage generated as an alternative energy source

Leave a red

Is the red <3 in that exact position vis a vis the photograph on purpose?

such powerful inspiration

*stows away copy of What Is To Be Done I was planning to hand trick-or-treaters*

we sat on the porch with a massive bowl of penny candy and invited anyone who stopped in to pick out two choices.

two obviously twentysomething kids smoking weed stopped when they saw us on our stoop and one of them tossed on a covid mask and wandered up with "trick or treat, i just turned 15." he took a kitkat with our blessing.

separately, a lady in her fifties/sixties wearing a hijab strolled right up and lunged at our bowl before we could react, grabbing two massive handfuls, dumping them in her bag and then tried to do it again. we actually had to restrain her. she laughed and said something heavily accented about "3 at home" and held her arm out expecting more. i dubiously gave her an additional assortment of starbursts to make her go away. She looked to be carrying something like 15 pounds of candy in multiple sacks already. she tried the same thing next door but didn't make it past their front gate. Possibly a known local character that I haven't met yet?

Everyone else who arrived was 12 or under or parents and exceptionally polite. One dad had a killer homemade Red Guardian costume. Lots of anime characters. One dad shredder and his two kids as ninja turtles. One family dressed as the local broadcast crew for the Mets, kid wearing a mustache and a bald cap tells me "my dad will have to explain."

Buncha dorks sharing a meme about Zardoz taking place in 2023 when it's set in 2293

the mobile web revamp makes posting and editing said posts really difficult. i can't see the text box half the time. also keeps jumping back to top posts, which are posts I've already seen.

that one's a good indicator of how many 10 year olds now have their own phone and tablet

I think you’re underestimating the degree to which today’s 20 and 30 somethings like joking about poop

10 year olds are probably posting about beyblade or whatever is cool now instead of beyblade

That meme is the kind of thing I see everyone looking at on their phones during their commutes…lol

why do I have this sudden feeling of impending doom?

Explains all the car wrecks

tbf, getting a lot of whiney energy off that meme

I’m 50 and the word “diarrhea “ is funny to me.

can u name 3 of them

that one would work better with a reference to the Bristol Stool Chart

it’s not a poop joke

can't explain why exactly but i've been rolling my fucking eyes at this one for years and i'm a literal tree hugger

I only see ads for them on social media so I'm counting it but I'm irrationally annoyed by the whole "immersive art experience" thing where you walk through rooms of projected Van Goghs or whatever.

lol yeah those are such a rip-offs. immersive theatre is bad enough.

insta-art is the worst

Word Porn

:'(

"SFW Porn" is a particularly sickening reddit phenomenon, "earth porn" "machine porn" "abandoned buildings porn" "word porn" etc.

when Ken Nordine fell on hard times in the 70s

lol

i really thought i had dialed in my fb feed to a reasonable degree but since throwing a few likes to meme groups that actually post genuinely funny memes (imo) (i realize this was a mistake now), every couple of posts is fb presenting me with a subtly racist or misogynist cartoon or meme. this is the first time i remember being assaulted with gross shit on fb without feeling like i have any control over it. disturbing.

Yea, i'm not sure when it happened but FB will now advertise posts in groups you aren't a part of if they think it's similar to what you have interacted before....and encourage you to join

I am constantly blocking edgelord group posts because I posted on NFL groups recently. Also saw a trans hate post from a group that has zero realistic connection to my likes.

FB purity zaps some of it out. Is there a way to disable it?

i use the “most recent” tab on my laptop and it’s a chronological feed. that plus an ad blocking extension make it at least tolerable.
