"Read that again"

A sentence that never follows something of value

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 48 points 3 weeks ago

I love that the "read that again" is part of the quote of an unknown source quoting a nameless "wise man".

A SENTENCE!

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

I think the quoted person called "unknown" is a good indicator as well.

instructions unclear, i've been reading this in a loop for the past 7 hours

[–] jonne 29 points 3 weeks ago

That's how you end up with massive AWS bills.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, but did you try reading it again louder?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously, though, what are we supposed to be looking for in the second readthrough? I can't find any sort of typo or hidden message.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

"For the people in the back"? The back of where? What is this man talking about? I'm not on stage. I'm in my living room, waiting for the kettle to boil. Are there people in my house? Who are "the people in the back"? I'm reading this sentence out loud but it still sounds fucking stupid. Help me, bald man with beard!

I mean from the flies' perspective the opposite is probably true, so wygd

I think grown bees don't eat honey

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In my experience they do.
I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

Smart people don't bother explaining to dumb people how dumb they are.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

And yet the post and the message both try to get you to explain it by reading it again or louder.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

You know... I actually agree with this one. This is why I don't go around telling people Linux is better.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for a sane comment to build on.

I actually think it is a fault of the American educated class that they assume that the uneducated people understand what they missed.

We all think everyone gets it or will get it with some Cliffs Notes.

That just isn’t true.

"Hey, boss, why do we have to lick shit? Isn't there a lot of honey?" - "That is just s myth, now eat your shit."

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Good advice, why concern yourself with the opinions of LESSER MORTALS?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is a saying that "honey attracts more flies than vinegar" but this has me wondering if honey would attract more flies than a pile of shit. 🤔

Who has a direct like with Veritasium? Let's get this done.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 4 points 3 weeks ago

this is recursive, people will never stop reading this forever until they die of starvation.

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you 🫡

now the question is whether the edit will federate

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are there known issues with that?

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

I've seen it first hand

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago
[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, being a fly, try breaking into a beehive and laying your eggs in their honey, see how well it goes for you. Or just be thankful that you answer to no queen and all the world's shit is yours for the taking.
