Thank FUCK you edited that horrible FUCKING word, so that my innocent eyes aren't FUCKING desecrated.

Tits.

[-] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What fucking word did he write? It’s got a line through it so I can’t read it 😞

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I suggest autoreplacing it with a more technical term.

~~fuck~~ sex

SEX

That's a sexing dolphin.

Haha, gotcha

Here you go OP. It’s actually ok to swear on the internet.

Here is a not weirdly censored and un-censored version:

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I mean… could I have gone and found the original, maybe. Did it cross my mind, no I jumped straight to do it on my phone and make it look as natural as possible, but of course this was the harder option. 🤦‍♂️

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.

A censored "shit" in a post about Star Trek? "SHIT" in big Star Trek font.

"Cunt" in a post about the UK? Enjoy your "CUNT" dressed in a union jack.

The censored word is "cock"? Here's "COCK" in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.

Fucking lean into it.

I don't get at all this trend of badly censored words.

[-] voidsignal@lemmy.world 71 points 2 days ago

They try to be a rebel, but still wanna please facists algorithms. American puritanism BS. Fuck that.

[-] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

One theory is that it's done intentionally to farm engagement from people pointing it out. Also I think most mainstream platforms heavily push down in the algorithm content that isn't sanitised. This is to make the platform more appealing to advertisers because the platform's userbase is the product.

As for why the words are partly censored instead of completely censored I'm not sure. I'd guess it's to game the algorithm while also making the word completely obvious.

Either way, if this is the behaviour that you engage in on a platform, that platform is terrible and you are an attention obsessed idiot.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Unless you’re a part of .ml, apparently. They auto-censor that stuff for some reason.

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

They got more problems than censoring bad words tho…

90% of scientists agree

Even if that were true these kinds of people are notorious for discounting the vast majority consensus because some lunatic said otherwise. It's almost like science has no bearing to them unless it validates their preconceived ideas.

[-] Zebrafive@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Exactly the problem and they all cite a paper written by a pro life conservative who works at the Hamilton foundation which is a conservative 'think tank'.

The paper itself is abysmally stupid. He emailed about 60 000 people with 5 or so confoundingly, unnecessarily complex question (manipulated) and about 30 000 or so responded and then he interpreted the answers and made the conclusion that like 90% of respondents agree that life begins at conception.

Morons say 90% of scientists agree, which is not even what the paper claims at all which itself is not good.

He could have just asked 'does human life begin at conception'? Also he complained (author) in a podcast about the paper about how so many faculty at the college he was st during the paper writing urged him to discontinue the project as for various reasons and then spins that to basically say pro women's rights advocates are in a conspiracy against life and were all democratic demons in a death cult (more or less)

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 91 points 2 days ago

Even if it was a human, Chris would be wrong with his lie about "90% of scientists." Not sure why people think a lie will help their argument in cases like this.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Eh... A Human fetus is human, but it is not "a human". Your toenail clippings are human.

Plus, the humanity or personhood of a fetus doesn't really matter for the pro-choice position. Simply put, there is no (other) legal situation that can compell you to give up your bodily autonomy.

Example. I can shoot someone in the street in cold blood, and they could die without a blood transfusion. The courts cannot compell me to do something as harmless as donating blood to save that person's life. A fetus, despite arguably being a person, does not have a right to your blood, your breath, your nutrients, or a space inside your body. Full stop.

[-] kureta@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

Wow. I have never heard this argument articulated in this way. Thanks!

[-] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 32 points 2 days ago

I had a...call? survey? at some point from an entity that probably gave rise to this data. It was basically a push-poll that used question order and positive reinforcement to try to get people to agree that abortion is murder.

Mostly, it tried to conflate "human" with "a human," starting out with things like "are cells isolated from humans still human?" "Can cultured cells be called 'viable?'" "So would you agree that tissue cultured from a human donor is viable, human tissue?"

Am scientist (not in life sciences). If someone showed me this image, I'd have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at. So that's one for the 10%, I guess.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

They don't care about facts data or science. They use it to argue in bad faith, not to have a serious convo.

If you call that out they'll just ignore you and try and get you with some other made up gotcha fact.

Also, even if 90% of scientists did say that... what percentage of those scientists are not biologists?

Do we need to know a geologist's or physicist's opinion about "some sort of weird meat-science"?

Like the old "Yeah, sorry, I am a Doctor, but I'm a Doctor of Jazz, not medicine"

Fun fact: Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny.

Depending on what species a foetus looks like, you can make a guess for how long it has been present inside a womb.

I think it's in the top 5:

  1. Capitalism

  2. Patriarchy

  3. Racism (I consider this tied with patriarchy tbh)

  4. Religion

  5. People who take two seats on public transit with no justification

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Patriarchy and religion are interchangeble

[-] groet@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Religion is a rationale for other evils. It is in itself not evil.

Patriarchy and racism (and many religions do that too) are all the same thing - chauvinism, the belief in the superiority of the own group. This also includes nationalism, homophobia, xenophobia and any other "I hate you because you are different"-isms

So I'd go with:

  1. Chauvinism
  2. Capitalism (greed)
  3. People who blast music on speaker in public transit
[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 day ago

I think people blasting music on hiking trails is slightly above public transit.

[-] Folstar@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago

Wildly better list. One of the failings of liberal/left minded people in recent decades has been to become list makers. "We will stand up for the rights of women [pause for applause], blacks [pause for applause], the elderly [pause for applause], etc...." sounds real nice until someone listening says "what about me?" It's a losing political strategy in a world where the words "All Americans" and "everyone" exist. At the absolute least, tag those words on the end.

To be clear since this keeps coming up from people who like to put words in other people's mouths then tell them those words are wrong, I am not saying laws can't protect/benefit marginalized groups. This is about communication.

Even though you hate religious people with all your heart?

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 81 points 2 days ago

I do love the "blank slate mammal" look we all seem to share at this stage.

A just a few less cells and it compares to birds, reptiles and fish.

90% of scientists agree you pull random percentages out of your ass.
