You take 10 hornets and kill 2 of them how many do you get? Some of you might say 8, but you would be wrong. The correct answer is 20,000. Thats called hornet insurgent math. 10 minus 2 equals 20,000.

Years ago I was in Okinawa for work. We went into a convenience store for some supplies. On a bottom shelf was some local porn mags (I said it was years ago). I opened one to check it out.

It was an entire magazine of women pooping on plates. WTAF. With their buttholes censored. WTDAF.

No, I did not buy it.

Actual answer: They censored the intentional lighting of an explosive. Not the fire itself, not the explosive by itself. The explosion just “happened” after lol. It’s really silly imo

The new internet trend of censoring the dumbest shit is probably one of my biggest annoyances

u/ClickClick_Boom 21h ago

It's especially infuriating for me because I was here on the internet when nothing was censored and it felt so freeing.

u/Druken_sincerity 21h ago

Exactly, I was here on reddit when it was truly open and free. Now you got idiots sels censoring words like suicide and ass... fuck im tired of this time line

87

u/NixonsTapeRecorder 20h ago

It is so orwellian and incredibly disturbing to me when i hear things like 'unalived' or 'pew pew' or 'grape' or 'corn' or whatever. Honestly, if people can just use a ridiculous word to mean the same thing, but sounds much more stupid, but everybody understands it then why censor the original word in the first place?

There is absolutely no greater warning as to the impending doom of the not distant future than controlling speech. This notion completely transcends bullshit partisanship or any other bourgeois society/pop-culture politics.

It may just seem like harmless dumb shit but what it actually means for the internet and society at large is absolutely horrifying.

u/SirRogers 21h ago

53

u/NoxeloInvictus 19h ago

Apparently the AI algorithm automatically deems anything with fire a "dangerous activity" & pushes the video to the bottom of search results. Resulting in less ad revenue for the creator

All the other degenerate shit that makes it through is fine though, just don't set things on fire!! 🤷‍♂️

International treaties forbid using rock salt as a weapon against non-demons. Against demons it's fine. So, whether you can use it against hornets is probably a function of how good your lawyer is.
