See, if I block greentext I’m gonna really miss bewildering nonsense fever-dream posts like this:

I saw it and thought back to this discussion lol

Anyway, hope you’re having a good one

Your username is fitting.

Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it’s just idle agreement.

Hope you have a nice day.

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

And all they’ll have to show for it is a mediocre pile of garbage

Couldn’t agree more 😅

I didn’t realize there was a wholesome greentext community here on Lemmy, thanks! :)

I probably will at some point, it’s a shame though cause every once in a while something really fun or charming comes out of the greentext communities or reddit or lemmy. I don’t meant to condemn folks for their choice or preferences, just express that I can’t relate to them

Hope you have a good one :)

It’s on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities

I’ll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don’t usually like doing that. It’s also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem

I don’t mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don’t really understand them

Hope you have a good one :)

Yeah, I understand that it’s a subversion of what’s expected, it’s just also depressing

“The joke is that you thought it was just a weird interaction with strangers, but he’s actually being shitty father and abusive husband!” doesn’t really work for me 🤷🏻 I get why it’s funny to other people, I just can’t really relate, and so much of 4chan humor has that same shared thread of being an asshole, life being a bleak existence, or making up a strawman to attack a particular population. It’s just kinda depressing to me :/

A fictional story about a husband/father being cruel to his family until they leave doesn’t exactly seem like fun entertainment to me 😅

4chan’s idea of a joke tends to involve some kind of suffering or cruelty, I don’t really get the appeal. It shows up on my feed and I can’t help but think “someone wants to read this sort of thing…?”

At least the one about the lady pissing herself and jumping in a canal or whatever was kinda silly and just a story about doing something dumb

Cant say I understand. Doesn’t really seem healthy to soak in that kinda cesspool, but everyone’s gotta live their own life and make their own decisions I suppose

That title was a bit hard to read.

The studio, called ‘harebrained schemes’ revealed they’re making a new game in the horror/cyberpunk genres, called “Graft”

4chan is depressing

The comment about someone crying because after pouring their heart out into the game they weren’t able to release it for their home country is kind of a gut punch… That’s just a really sad situation

A desire for approval drives social creatures towards pro-social behaviour, which can positively influence the sucessfulness of a species

I’m kinda under the impression that he doesn’t really do that anymore

Lol, well played

You’re very welcome! ☺️

Fuckin freak behavior, what a fuckin creep

An apt post title, lovely use of color!
