The moment we hit 2021 I’ve never scrolled further than 2000.

I have a lot of birthdays on the new year!

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

No way! Me too! Happy belated, btw.

I thought we were... cute animal friends... and now this?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 months ago

I am so sorry I know this has got to hurt

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

I'm 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat.

I set my age to the max in Steam back in the day, now I'm well beyond 100 years old.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh wise and ancient one, what game should I buy?

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 gets my vote for game of the year 2025.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I love the idea of the games but I spent days practicing the combat in the first game only to die by the first person to attack me every time.

Is the second games combat any easier?

inb4 "git gud"

I tried. That's the problem.

I'm lying about what I'm really thinking of the world situation and what we need to collectively do about it, because shit's bannable.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it murder people? I think it might be murder.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I will never tell, tee-hee! But yeah it's murder.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I too fully believe there could be a list of people that, if all of them somehow died at the same time, we could save the world and billions of lives. Who is on this list I don't know, but I believe it can exist.

Lying, on the internet, about something?

Or

Lying about ‘something on the internet’?

Also, ‘lying about’ = telling lies, or being lazy?

Such a vague question.

Some say Alduin is Akatosh, some say M'aiq is a Liar. Don't you believe either of those things.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 months ago

I have a LinkedIn, so I'll say a resounding probably

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I'm lying in this statement.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes. I'm actually an undercover Trisolarian and my people will invade soon.

Perish, puny Earthlings.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

That seems a bit silly... I mean we're doing a right fine job of perishing with or without your help. Why waste all that time and energy when you can just... wait.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I emailed "looking forward to seeing you" to someone I'm completely indifferent about seeing, so I guess.

I am a font of lies and should never be taken seriously

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

so... we do not have too many pancakes...

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago

Of course not. Thats impossible.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 6 points 4 months ago

...Wait, if we can't take anything you say seriously because you say you're lieing, then you're lieing about lieing, which means you actually telling the truth about lieing, which means...

SEGFAULT

[–] mech@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago
[–] HorikBrun@kbin.earth 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Of course not. I would never do such a thing.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

I trust you the most. You should be in a position of power.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What does currently mean?

Have I done it recently? Yes.

Am I doing it right now with this post? No.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I have to lie all the time because my true thoughts would get me banned for "inciting violence"

As if we had other options at this point

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I work on being authentic at all times.

I don’t see the reason to lie to complete strangers. Why should someone care what people they don’t care about think?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 4 months ago

Yes.

(This comment is a lie on the internet)

[–] nicerdicer@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago

As a dog I can tell you that I don't lie on the internet. Being a good boy doesn't come from nothing!

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I confess... I am a dog. I have been burdened with this venomous secret for years. Nobody suspected a thing.

[–] mrtnisla@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 months ago

I was the one that gave the melons to the minions....

[–] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There's some "unpleasant" parts of myself I lie about to nearly everyone, minus close friends. I'm practically a different person on every social media platform.
