Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What did ostriches ever do to you?
Nothing... Allegedly.
What has that to do with holidays?
Oh, you don't want a holiday where the publicly voted and most despised person in your city/country has to leave for 10 years?
Was it that hard to elaborate just a little?
No, that's a terrible idea for a holiday
God forbid you think critically about something without being led around by the hand, but thanks for the interaction and opinion, I suppose.
Again! What are you talking about? Other people don't share your train of thought, your conclusions are not obvious to everybody.
Your idea for a holiday is terrible because is based on hate, and punishment. What can go wrong?
(Whispers)
Psssttt....
I think they're making a playful nudge that this would be a good way to kick out the handful of stubbornly-rooted "most hated people on the planet" that are ruining it for everyone else, like the orange one and the apartheid mine baron one, and the genocidal ones, and the tech-bro ones......I agree though as a concept in a polite society, "blame it all on the most unpopular person and make them get lost" day feels like it'd be stressful and rooted in mean-spiritedness. XD
Wonderful, thanks again for the input. I'm sure your name wouldn't appear on many of those shards of broken pottery.
