Yeah, people on the internet usually don’t double check or give a lot of time to things, often taking Twitter screenshots and article headlines at face value. I often find myself doing this too. Everyone doesn’t have the free time to factcheck everything they see, and we are especially vulnerable to having our brain fill the gaps with biases.
Saying “Idk man” and moving on is the best strategy for these cases. Second best is probably digging through the internet for clues like some deranged idiot.
Plus, he wants us to react to him. Doesn’t matter if the reaction is positive or negative. Don’t feed the troll and all.
Watched it, loved it. Thanks for the rec.
Was this the movie which prompted the mythbusters episode where they tried to see if a bullet’s path could be curved by swinging the barrel really fast? Immediately reminded me of that lol
I checked all of his twitter posts from 2025/11/21 till today (bad idea, please don’t do the same), and didn’t find this particular tweet.
I tried the wayback machine, but his twitter page hadn’t been crawled in or after November.
I dug a bit more with DuckDuckGo, out of the 6 or 7 webpages I checked, most of them didn’t question its validity.
One of those pages[1] confidently claimed that it was a real post which had some user interaction before it was deleted. The page even mentioned a username, which stood out to me:

Now I wondered if I could verify whether the post was real by finding this user named “Biscuits” and checking his activity throughout November. I have no idea how Twitter works, but I was hoping to find an old reply to the original tweet. There was one prominent user named Biscuit on xcancel. However, I couldn’t find any replies or mentions to Andrew Tate[2]
TLDR: Idk man, maybe not?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?
8·3 months agoI don’t agree with you, but I think it’d be pretty rad if dark matter was GHOSTS.

2·4 months agoDisclaimer: he was most likely not actually masturbating in his final moments. A more probable explanation is that the hot pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius forcefully contracted his muscles, leaving him in that state.
Huh. I should check again
It doesn’t work for me on SwayWM, maybe KDE does something else under the hood?
Edit: lol Sorry, I mistook xrandr for brightnessctl. (I had aliased xrandr brightness change commands to “brightness” in my shell)
brightnessctl doesn’t work with Wayland
I think you can edit your post and replace the image with a higher quality version. The pic I posted was a screenshot, you should be able to find a higher quality version if you look for it.

If it’s too much of a headache, I can just wipe the partition and install something else, or just reinstall fedora I guess.

I’m specifying the release server manually as directed in the fedora docs for upgrading editions. That’s what I followed

2·4 months agoI decided Fedora since I use it myself, so I figured it’d be easier to debug. I think I’ll pave the install and replace it with debian based mint if nothing works (I’ve made a separate partition for critical files)
When you say you did it manually, what do you mean exactly?
I meant that instead of doing it the “safe” GUI way, I simply did it by CLI, with the instructions available at the fedora docs

You’re on point, imo
