This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

>let the shower run for 10-15 minutes while i sit in the bathroom

>mom buys it, i get dindin
>after a month she gets suspicious
>realize i have to step up my game
>now i run the shower and rub my arms/neck with hand soap
>also run my hair under the shower so it's dripping wet and not just moist
>she asks why i haven't asked her to buy shampoo yet
>come up with final version of my genius plan
>i'll stand next to the shower, let the water run, rub soap on my whole body and also use shampoo on my hair so it smells like shampoo
>then i'll rinse off in the sink
>all while the shower runs

lemmy.ml instance has a slur filter enabled. You cannot post slurs in any context and users from there will see it filtered everywhere. It's pretty broad too. Can't say shorthand for a female dog

That's gotta be a bitch sometimes.

Its completely removed so they have to guess from context.

Word filters are fun but if everyone has a different filter that seems like it would get ridiculous real fast

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (10 children)

There may be others that follow it. It's built into lemmy and was compulsory at one point iirc.

Maybe idk. It reminds me of the whole recent defederation drama partly caused by a false assumption that pronoun tags would be visible to everyone. If you don't know what other people are seeing, that's a big source of misunderstandings.

I was already under assumption pronoun tags were visible to everyone. Actually always assumed they were part of a users display name.

I don't see any, what client?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Come to find I don't see any either I don't think.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Well apparently that assumption is wrong for certain clients or instances
