    The Internet in just two words:

    • Cats & porn

    The Internet in just one word:

    • Pussy

    (not originally from me, but I like it)

      As a dog person, I always begrudingly wished the dogs would have participated in some sort of memewar. The cats got all the “aww cute” memes, while dogs got all the “herpyderp” memes.

      But I guess that’s why I like dogs more than dictatory, selfimposed, greater-than-thou cats.

    As with most things, musical theater has the answer.

    The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

    Or, at least it was. Now it’s mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.

    Yes.

    …it depends on whom you ask, I think. For me it’s for info/data exchange, wasting time, contacting people, shitposting. Roughly in this order of relevance.

      I read this too quickly as “videos and disgusting things”, which still felt like a true statement.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

Please don’t post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It’s not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it’s not in the spirit of the community.
