Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

You're viewing a single thread.
*Lemmings. (I was going to use that as an answer to your post, but someone learning something new never gets me even the slightest bit miffed.)

Most scam products like "power saver" plug-in modules for your home, fake ODB2 gas saver modules for cars or those little stickers for cell phones that are sold as "antenna boosters". Also, anything that is marketed as a "detox" product will piss me off.
All of those products are actively being sold on Amazon, EBay and at some other major retailers or in malls. They are openly sold because people refuse to learn that magic does not exist.
Please. Stop buying these things.
I almost prefer lemons of Lemmy š
I know what you mean. It's like a stupidity tax. Being ignorant makes you fall for those kinds of products and schemes. Ignorance is expensive.
I've lived long enough, to learn that there is not just one stupidity tax. And like you said..."Being ignorant," is more of a lifestyle than it is a bad habit(s) IMO.
And yet humanity invented this device that fits in your pocket and allows you to access unlimited knowledge. It's sad, really.
Knowledge can only take us so far. It's how 'we' use that knowledge, that matters the most. But be carful, as false information can, and has been passed off as knowledge. Knowledge: the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association
True, and as if that was not enough we now have to deal with LLM generated content feeding on misinformation and allucinated content generated by other LLMs.
That is going to get very annoying very fast.
No no, you don't understand. They get rid of "toxins".
... which toxins? Uh ...
Haha, yeah, sorry about that. Came back to Lemmy last week, so I just came up with something. Almost went with "Lemmers".
The scam products also tend to get me pissed as well, it's so stupid and just downright low tbh.
Fedizens?
Kbin was a flop (at least in the direct sense), but Mbin and sometime Sublinks will be released allow federation with Mastodon and some other stuff, so this is more inclusive.
Also Leftist Lemmies may become a thing, bc of all that about the origin of the code and supporting genocide in China (and sometimes Russia), so Fedizen avoids that?
Are we... (Star Trek) Fedizens āØ? Learned (Loony?) Lemmites? We'll decide at some point. :-P
Many instances have already adopted the lemming as a mascot, like my home instance:
Still though, you do you. I got no complaints about what people want to call things. ;)
Well I am not in charge, but I did think I'd offer that thought for consideration, as it offers greater inclusivity. :-)
The most stupid thing I have seen so far, the "Vehicle molecular de-icer"
