That teddybear has a 𐀏 (unicode crosshair) on it's chest, which is a symbol used widely by neo-nazis, i think this was at one point one of those cutesey femme nazi memes (yes, theyre real)

i dread to imagine the obscenity behind that lazy edit, why did you post this?

    For example, someone i knew 10 years ago told me they'd take 50mg of dexamphetamine one weekend (10 pills), then 100mg the next (20 pills)

    a normal starting dose is like, 5mg or 10mg at a time (1 or 2 pills). It's such a low dose I've heard people say they would be scared to take it because it (apparently) correlates with psychosis, which i doubt

    Finally able to navigate past the WhatCD’s homepage—a mysterious login screen that read, “Beyond here is something like a utopia”—I familiarized myself with their textbook-length list of rules, and spent countless hours combing through everything the website had to offer.

    Congrats!

    obvs talk to a doctor about it, but in my experoence cypro was really bad for me, and i was only taking a quater pill every 3 days (it has a 70+ hour half life)

    a friend who was taking a whole pill every day ended up damaging their liver

    i know wanting to nuke your T is a pretty powerful urge, it makes me feel so icky, but a little bit of T is really important and ultimately good for you. A lot of older women end up taking T to boost their levels.

    I stoppped taking it as it tanked my mental health

    anyway, congrats again, make sure you keep getting your hormone levels checked with blood tests x

    I know there are groups local to me who organise almost entirely on discord, I cannot understand why they choose to do this, even before everything discord has proven to be a very insecure platform

    Chinese state media made an AI-generated cartoon about the US-Iran conflict. Complete with fighting Persian Cats! Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!

    !asklemmy@lemmy.ml - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~ 2025

    😱

    This process was undertaken to determine if so-called "tankies" are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!

    vague or informal answers were interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments were counted. I did not provide further instructions or clarifications.

    spoilerA ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

    ^ wish I'd remembered to include that in the new "poll", there was a lot of confusion in the comments!

    I'll likely check back in a week, my old pc died so itll take a little bit of time to prettify the results and write a report

    Ciao, and of course, imperialism must be destroyed.

    ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

    HEXBEAR.NET

    DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

    WE ASKED !asklemmy@lemmy.ml ARE YOU A TANKIE?

    First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
    second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
    third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

    only top level comments were counted
    tankies are closer than they appear

    this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

    tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

    specter
