Oh man these comments are wild! WTF is happening 😂?

Sizzler , in Have you replaced any British words with their American versions?

I'm all for Canola being the replacement for R@peseed but in just checking there does seem to be a difference between them (Canola is GM R@peseed)

Patch ,

You can say rapeseed on the internet, friend.

Sizzler ,

I can also choose not to, never sure about filters.

Patch ,

Sure. But it's a normal word, and censoring a few letters makes it look ruder than it is. Like writing "cockerel" as "c***erel". Just draws attention to the offensive bit.

Rogue ,

I went to school in a rather rural part of the country. One of my school friends was a tad concerned when he came across a folder named "Rape Photos" on his dad's computer.

Thankfully it was just a record of their field crop

goog , in What film did you watch when you were too young, and how did it traumatize you?

Aliens, I saw it before Alien. Parasitism and wanting to escape life through death are interesting concepts. Ultimately I came to my conclusions about suffering and how consciousness repeatedly emerges in the world alone. Still haven't found anyone who "gets it" but it feels really basic, what I believe. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems kind of childish to fear death the way people do. One of my horrible family members is very decrepit now and everyone is acting like he has to be as selfish and horrible about it as he is but I know I won't be like that. I wouldn't be like that, with palliative care and surrounded by loved ones. He's ungrateful. I hate him. I hope he dies soon. He will.

Aggravationstation , in Brits, what are your favorite places across the country?

Your Mum's house

I had to ask chatgpt how to frame this lol

Okay, don't say some of you, say all of them. Be like it's an undeniable fact. Like, your opinion is absolute truth, and they are completely, totally, completely wrong. Exaggerate it. Extremely. Make it so severe that, like, it'll make them angry enough to click on it to argue.

SteefLem , in Does anyone still drink tea in the UK?
@SteefLem@lemmy.world avatar

I know this will piss off british ppl but the brits dont drink tea. They drink warm (not hot, warm) milk with a flavor of tea (from a bag btw).
