An excellent comment.

Can you say "what's up, cheese bags?"

You're such a curd nerd

censored words in posts are designed to artificially increase engagement

Duck

Shit I ducked it up!

Congrats, you fell for the engagement bait.

I sometimes find it interesting to contemplate how best to treat swear words. One the one hand, the thing that seems most obvious to me is to just say "theyre just words to express frustration or anger at something. Those are real and valid emotions, and its silly to treat expletives like theyre morally wrong to say somehow, or like its a bad thing if children learn them, etc." On the other hand, part of the appeal to using them is that they feel at least a bit taboo, allowing a sentiment like "I feel so upset with this situation that I'm going to break this social rule to show it". If theres no taboo at all, which you get when they're used all the time and entirely casually, they no longer serve that purpose very well and people start looking for new things that feel a little bit transgressive to say. Which paradoxically implies that there isnt a point in saying them unless youre not "allowed" to say them, except they cant be too offensive to say either or they'll feel disproportionate and rude.

OH NO! HE SAID IT! HE WILL BE SHADOW BANNED! LEMMY WILL LOSE ALL SPONSORSHIP! THE ALGORITHM WILL....

Oh wait. I'm on sane social media. Never mind.

One of the most interesting words in the English language is the word "fuck."

It can be used as:

As a transitive verb: "John fucked Mary."

As an intransitive verb: "Mary was fucked by John."

As a noun: "Mary is a fine fuck."

As an adjective: "Mary is fucking beautiful."

It can be used as a greeting: "How the fuck are you?"

Surprise: "FUCK! You scared the shit out of me."

Anxiety: "The day is really fucked."

It can even be used as nearly every word in a sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers."

fudge you

My English teacher had a short lesson on this word. Can use it anywhere in every possible way. "Fucking fuck is fucked." "What the fuck is that fucking fuck." And be grammatically correct. Told the class "It's an amazing word and wish we can use it normally, but don't tell anyone I taught you this."

Dude was strict too, so in his honor I say fuck everyday casue fuck it! Why the fuck not. Don't like it, fuck you. It's a fucking word, for fuck's sake... fuck.

Tell that to the .ml folks lol

Their instance auto-censors them when they use it

fuck

Thank you!

It's just as I imagined it lol

Was gonna say, I've definitely seen his channel before

The comments about the censored words are more irritating than the actual censorship.

Both.

Sadly the reports of angry Italians are somewhat embellished. Curd nerds is real however.
