The time to post this was a week ago.

This is definitely a repost.

This reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Eventually the boy cries wolf too many times, townspeople stop listening to the boy, and stop responding to the cries.

The way we tell it, though, is that the boy is falsely crying wolf each time. And the townspeople eventually learn their lesson and stop responding.

One hypothetical that I always think about is what if the boy is correct each time, and there really is a wolf every time? Well, I think the townspeople would eventually grow numb to the cries and stop responding anyway, and kinda leave the boy to fend for himself because they're sick of helping him. We'd see the same result even if the boy did nothing wrong.

I’m so glad I’m not missing out on a slightly larger margin.

The speed of a sheep, the voracious appetite of a lion for my money.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

You can see the quality difference right?

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Not at my phone without zooming in. 🤷‍♂️

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

Okay don't take this as an insult, but you gotta get glasses or update your glasses or something. Either that or your phone screen is really bad.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 12 points 23 hours ago

You’re just jealous of my superior anti aliasing brain skills.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Not if it's temporal anti aliasing!

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 0 points 22 hours ago

I resemble that remark!

If you wanna be even wider eyed, consider that trump 'tariffs' are a great way to extort other counties, they'll all pay that extortion fee directly to donald trump to avoid the tariffs. He will leave the white house a trillionaire in 4 years and nothing can stop it.

I hope for an artery to clog while he forms his signature little O mouth together with accordion hands, and eyes-crossed falls over mouth frothing to be never seen again. The end.

I don't want Vance to be president, but I do really want Trump to die quite soon.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I told you not to vote for the Sheep-Eating Wolves Party!

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 21 hours ago

Don't blame me, I voted for the sheep-eating-coyote!

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 48 points 1 day ago

This comic is several decades old by now. This means her daughter is now all grown up and voting Trump now.

Lol, you're complaining, when all memes were much worse in visual quality not that long ago.

Back in my day we waited 40 minutes to see a 2kb meme

Back in my day, we had to hand-draw our memes in the back of school textbooks, then wait until next time we had a lesson in there to see if anyone had seen it.

The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

I’d say it was a non selective herder and a semi selective eater.

150 million sheep would beg to differ

[-] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago

We only had 67% voter turnout, so that'd be about 112 million

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 23 hours ago

Only they see themselves as wolves, which would explain why they call the others sheeple

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Nicely done

Even Tommy Douglas thought that the mice would elect cats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgOvzUeiAA
