i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we’ve so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.
Just like falling down when you get shot.
Unless you’re shot in the legs or your injury would otherwise impede you from standing, you wouldn’t naturally fall down.
However, movies and TV have drilled it into our minds that you fall from being shot to the point that we DO fall because we’re SO DAMN CONVINCED that that’s what happens!
hmmm, like they don’t do a Hollywood fall, but they do often just drop. sack of potatoes style. there’s a lot of stuff in you that could make you stop standing if it got shot. it’s not guaranteed, but depending on caliber, it can be quite likely that they will fall. just straight down or in the direction of their existing momentum usually.
I’ve heard high velocity rounds (such as rifle rounds) send a kind of shockwave through your body. Dunno if it’s true or not.
I pointed this our recently in another thread and people got real bent out of shape about it, it was weird.
Woah buddy, no need to get all political.
This hits hard
I think it hits slowly
This presses hard.
Memes are so frustrating when they serve not only progressives but also crazy right truthers.
OpenDyslexic spotted
The font doesn’t even look so bad and yet it is helpful.
I’m not dyslexic and if you didn’t tell me that font was for treating I would have just thought it’s a cute stylized font
Is he breaking the frog wall
Charitably, the frog is actually saying “I don’t like discussing our looming annhilation.”
Or, I don’t talk politics to YOU. I talk politics all the time, even people I know hard disagree with me on major things. The thing is, we can stay civil, if hard facts are introduced that prove a point one person is making, or show why someone’s idea is wrong, it will be actually considered. When I say this, it is usually because I know that person can’t do this, or I am in an environment where this can hurt my life, like work.

Huh?
You know, how Lemmy infamously skews in favor of climate change denialism. /s
Yeah and in favor of LLM AI. It all fits now… today on Bizarro World!

Yeah I remember that thread. Sorry you are arguing with someone there, with zero upvotes other than their own. Now go look at the top voted comment in that thread.
Anyway I think there are a lot of Lemmy that want the AI bubble to finally pop, myself included.
comics that would be better without the last panel
How big is that pot?
We’re sprinting toward WW3 and subsequent nuclear Armageddon on at least two different fronts right now, but that won’t be a slowly increasing boil, that will several big “booms” preceded by some heat blasts that are hot enough to melt concrete.
