A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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.

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you

"[W]hat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Okay, a simple 'wrong' would have done just fine…

For two people who look/are dressed similarly: "you look like the before and after photos for a product that doesn't work."

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Oh that's good. I'm saving that, but it may be years before I have a chance to use it!

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're not loved, they just tolerate you.

i like curses more like: "i hope you stub your toes", "have a warm pillow", "may the consequences of your actions be harsh" or "may your phone screen be always too bright or dim"

[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

I like - I hope you step in a questionable wet spot while wearing socks.

[–] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

May your toilet paper forever tear lengthwise.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

If really upset, I hope you stub the same toe twice.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Any variation of phrases where you express disappointment in someone/something

"Who's this clown?"

I'm fond of it for two reasons: calls them a clown and implies that they aren't even a memorable one.

[–] SwissArmyKazoo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

"I feel like those shoes belong to someone with a better bowking average."

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

It's really hard to overestimate you.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago

my brother like spanish but did not know enough swear words so he would say things like fume mi huevos.

[–] sunsofold@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

"You're not as dumb as you look," was always one of the most subtle yet broad insults.

[–] Geodes_n_Gems@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

You have room to improve & learn! tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons & tons of it!

Telling someone they suck, but they can change for better.
