Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia

But could not have imagined finding the exact person who made me think about them in the first place actually included in the article.

It’s spelled “Goa'uld”

from the Arabic word meaning "to kill"

It would be nice if someone were ghoul these bastards.

My favorite band has a song about him called “The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller,” came out 7 years ago and its pretty funny.

I can’t believe it’s been left up this long. I came across it like 5 hours ago and thought I took a screenshot and then the gummy kicked in and I spent the next 4 hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole on a woodworker who bought a farm, which I am technically still in.

Anyway when I remembered and first went to post this, I realized I hadn’t actually taken the screen shot. I figured there was no way the edit was still up all this time later but sure it enough, it was and still is.

Also I just looked up that track and it is fucking gnarly! It took me back to Jawbox. Really rad, thanks for making me aware.

Edit: Might as well pay it forward

Pile #1 band in the universe, baby.

Now I kmow why his name sounded familiar the first time this Joker started showing up in the news! The Steve Miller Band! 🤦‍♂️

“political advisor” must be the polite way to say “fascist piece of shit”.

Wasn't there a Raas Al'Ghul or something like that in Batman?

Fun fact, the name of the star Algol means "the ghoul."

FisherOfSaints@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 225d

This is actually two fun facts for me with the first one being that there is a star called Algol.

This made me realize I am the same age as Miller. I am by no means in good shape but damn hate has aged him like milk

Pretty sure Jikiniki is just transcribed by Lafcadio Hearn, not written by him

Though obviously funny, I can't escape the feeling that were basically doing the equivalent of "oooohhh huurrr duurrr wikipedia says that Himmler is a ghoul in 1939, so funny!"

They murder innocent civilians, we fight back with mildly funny memes?

why does the wikipedia iOS app has worse looking icons than the amdorid one?

AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 225d (2 replies)

Android eclipses iOS in global market share. It isn't even close.

The only place iOS might be more widely used is in the shithole people call the US.

Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 225d

Japan also is dominated by iOS

Paradachshund@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 225d

I think in the us it is dramatically larger for iOS. Last time I checked I think it was 75% share?
