It's ok, we sigma now.

Any time someone uses the terms “alpha”, “beta”, or “sigma” unironically when referring to a person, I immediately write them off as a braindead waste of oxygen.

I’m not even religious, and I’m praying tiktok finally gets banned.

Definitely a hacked/fake account lol
On an unrelated note, nothing screams dominance more than someone who gets their lifeprotips from a guy who needs to abuse women to get them to listen to him, and got arrested by the police. Sure seems the police are the alphas in this case lol.
And in the US, E Jean Carrol seems to have shown "President" Trump who is really in charge too
- Props to the judge who reminded the jury in the defamation case that it was already established fact that Trump had raped E Jean Carrol as were the findings from a previous case, and to disregard Trump's attorneys who claimed otherwise.
Feel the same way but why did you mention religious in particular? Do they have something against tiktok or something? I hate it for a bunch of reasons but I don't see anything that could be particularly religious.
- Probably the "praying" part
- Probably because they used the word ”praying” which is quite directly connected to religions.
Excuse me, I’m a delta
- Hello roof!
- i am the omega female

If you have to tell people you're an alpha, you're not.

There are no human alphas. Without each other we're all weak ass bitches. Just look at the series "Alone". Even the most rugged outdoorsmen absolutely get fucked hard when they are alone.
We're a social species. Our strength is our cooperation. Anyone who thinks he's above the rest kicking ass all alone is just a moron.
- There's no wolf alphas in nature neither. It's an old and debunked theory based on studying captive wolves.

- Not joining the whole alpha thing but where does alpha get described as lone?
  Meme Alphas are purported to be top dog but they still run with a pack
- What? Someone making sense about the social evolution of humans? Not on my internet!
- Stop your honking, Nancy. I know. I was calling people who claim to be alpha, "weak ass bitches."
Back when Twitter was not known as a new name, I would respond to people in the time line talking about how they are alpha with this. Most of them just blocked me.
- How beta.

Alpha software: broken and incomplete software

Alpha radiation: very little penetration power

Alpha Centauri: less than a tenth of the mass of Beta Centauri.
- Did you just call me fat?
Sounds like me...

And if he'd rolled low: "It's the big one."

Missed opportunity for her to delta outta there instead
- I tried that once but my flight got delayed twice so I flew frontier instead.
Perfect opportunity to howl as she walks away from the table. AR-AR-AROOOOO!!!!

Every time I see people call themselves an alpha I immediately think they’re a/b/o role playing on main. Mind you that kink also involves misunderstanding wolves, but kink is rarely based on reality

Please god please don't bring a/b/o here, Lemmy was my safe space 😭
- out of context this looks like you're afraid of blood groups, in context I agree
It's alpha as in alpha-stage software. Unfit for production.
What's a/b/o role playing?
- if i had to take a guess, alpha beta omega?
- So here’s an entertaining video that will give the basics. But it’s a kink based around the alpha wolf idea

wtf is a TL

Pretty sure that's time line
- Thank you! I legitimately had no idea what that could stand for.

- Tnx :)

Just asked ChatGPT what the social structure of a Wolf pack is and it trotted out all the alpha, beta crap, because that’s now what most people believe.

Sigma? How about ligma?

Actually it turns out its a myth that there are alpha wolves at all. Makes this even better. https://www.sciencenorway.no/ulv/wolf-packs-dont-actually-have-alpha-males-and-alpha-females-the-idea-is-based-on-a-misunderstanding/1850514

I think that's exactly what the meme is about
- That is an oddly specific amount of gryffindor points.

The only thing I know about wolf socialization is from a documentary I saw where 2 wolves were fucking and the girl wolf's dad came back with the rest of her pack and caught them and when the boy wolf tried to run away he dragged her down like 3/4 of the giant hill they were on by his dick before it popped out. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Isn't this the plot of one of those twilight movies

I think Sigma is more often used to describe misogyny than anything positive, so I'm definitely not that either.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a mockery of misogyny (or the more general toxic masculity). The Sigma male term was supposedly describing a social outcast who doesn't play the social game but still somehow wins the social game, and thus gets respect and women. Obviously the internet ran with it because it hits the sweetspot of stupidity where it becomes funny
Of course some people actually believe it and use it unironically, but it's mostly about mocking the supposed Greek lettered male classification. Then again memes change in time and maybe it is returning to its original toxic meaning.

Yes, Xitter is also my platform of choice to consume non-dumb-ass content...

I'm the omega man

I bet you encounter a lot of resistance...
- In my whole life, a lot of zombies out there

Do people just say "type A" personality now? Or describe someone as more "passive" as opposed to "assertive"? The alpha/beta/etc terms are scientifically unreal but it's not like people generally don't know what is being referred to when discussing people's general personality vibes

I tell people there are two reasons I wear clothes. If I didn't: #1 people would be uncomfortable. #2 I am too inattentive to stop it from dragging on the ground.

Not really, they act more like normal extended family dynamics. The pyramid isn't as linear as that implies.

The wolf thing is a myth, these actually refer to the stages of software deveopment. Alpha is buggy, unstable, missing key features and unsutable for the public. Beta is mostly complete, but may still have bugs or occasional crashes. (So basicly teenagers)

Some recent papers sugest it might also refer to alpha particles, high mass but very low penetration power and depth. These particles are typicaly emitted by high mass atom.

Are we all supposed to sigma now?
