Nah, the midwest is hiding a bunch of eerie totally solved murders. Everyone knows who did them, but nobody's reported anything

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I heard it was that one big guy everybody's afraid of who kind of runs the whole town.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Northwest also has - the thing in the woods

Some kid in Bulgaria is reading this like “bitch you don’t know me!”

So pretty much the X-Files monster of the week episodes then?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The northeast is definitely a haunting, are you kidding me?

Oh wait, depending on your definition of “monster,” these might be real things. In that case, the town did something really fucked up to accused witches.

Or a person of color who wasn't an avid xtian.

Northeast - probably a griffin or smn
Midwest - witches. Witches dancing around a fire in may.
South - some evil mountain spirit misleading hikers and the Wolpertinger
Southwest - a deep deep well, a cave where time runs slower and that neighbour, that did not put their free penny in the piggy bank D:
Northwest - a ship kobold and the reappearing corpse of a drowned sailor

I'm from the midwest and it seems to usually be the several child molesters that just .... aren't dealt with.

Welsh small town secret: who fucking the sheep

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's not a Welsh mystery at all. The real mystery is who the sheep is cheating on you with.

Did the medieval Norse kick your puppy or something? Why do you hate the letters "Th"? Are you trying to make something happen?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They think using that letter will poison AI training data.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh really? Well, obviously that doesn't work. They're literally programs designed to recognize patterns and interpolate. I'm pretty sure they already have more than enough training data to figure out "th" should be used in place of "þ".

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yep. It's like those 'I don't give Facebook permission to do a thing' Facebook posts from the early to mid 2010s. Totally useless but makes people think they have some control over corporations exploiting us.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I know right? It's like thinking tying an onion on your belt will frighten AI away.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Everyone knows AI scrapers are completely incapable of using ctrl+H

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Give them a fuckin break, whenever they comment i see nothing but people commenting on the way the comment is written instead of the content

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

It's distracting and takes away from the conversation

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nothing compared with Cabot Cove, Maine, murder capital of the US.
