The only good flock is a broken flock

It’s rare to see the elusive Flock land on the ground like this. Truly an extraordinary experience.

I'm glad that someone was able to claim their pre-order copy of GTA 6 from one of these things.

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2h

So THAT'S where they're hiding the physical copies!

You heard it here first, folks! But not from me.

Gormadt@slrpnk.net · 22 pts · 1d

Of course you found it that way, in one of only 2 acceptable states for one of those cameras to be in (the other being non-existence).

Purely a coincidence that it should end up like that.

Probably just the wind that caused it any ways.

Or perhaps a particularly heavy bird landing on it.

Now piss on it

altphoto@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 1d (13 replies)

I hadn't thought about such a thing. It's something anyone can do. Lots of people keep pee bottles in their car, that's a great way of helping.

vladmech@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 1d (12 replies)

Do….lots of people keep pee bottles in their cars? We may run in different circles.

Krompus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1d (5 replies)

You keep an empty disposable bottle available for emergencies and hope you never need to use it, and discard it as soon as possible if you do.

Soggy@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1d (2 replies)

I have never in my life needed to piss that badly. There's always a truck stop, or a gas station, or an overgrown ditch, that I can pull over for.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 22h (1 reply)

As someone who prefers back roads and lesser highways it's somewhat common for me. But also I'm just as likely to pull over and piss off the side of the road.

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2h

just as likely to pull over and piss off the side of the road.

Then the side of the road's gonna plot its revenge!

vladmech@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 17h (1 reply)

Ooooh wow okay yeah that makes a lot more sense versus keeping a bottle full of pee in your car in case you need to throw it at something

Krompus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 15h

Honestly, that's also valid.

Rich people don't keep pee bottles? I don't mean I keep the bottle for fucking posterity in golden goodness! I mean there's an empty bottle in the car .. just in case! You never know!

vladmech@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1d (3 replies)

If I come across a rich person out and about I suppose I can ask them for you

altphoto@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 1d (2 replies)

Fine, I'll bring the bottle. But I ain't holding it for them. Now, as a PSA, Costco water bottles work for kids but adults have a hard time. Milk jugs have both, the capacity and the proper diameter. Lol.

Finding or learning a skilled hand to desolder is still cheaper and more available than what consumer chips are going for, so I mean hey.

post more american politics imo there’s not enough

NaibofTabr@infosec.pub · 38 pts · 1d (16 replies)

I guess... "be the change you want to see in the world"? If you want to see less american-centric whatever, then post more non-american whatever.

i can’t, everyone who comes here see’s it’s overflowing with american cunts and leaves

so all im left with is a picture of a fucking post on its side while you guys all jerk off over each other every single day

I'd rather not, you Americans will just find a way to come in there and shit it up

Don't worry champ, as soon as I find another site that's better than here I'll make like 99.9% of people who look at this place and leave, then you can circlejerk all day long

Be more culturally dominant bro 👈🦅👉

I hope that comes off as the joke it was intended to be. In seriousness, I wish the internet were more representative too. It kinda sucks how overrepresented America is on the internet, especially the Anglophone internet. There are rather a lot of us, and I get why it's annoying.

Yet another excellent reason to be working toward universal internet access.

"Nobody drives in New York, there's too much traffic."

If all you actually want to do is whine about it, then yeah I guess keep on not trying. Clearly that approach is working well for you so far.

while you guys all jerk off over each other every single day

Hey, if you want people to jerk off over you, you gotta post the pr0ns. You don't get something for nothing.

Eyekaytee@aussie.zone · -11 pts · 1d (2 replies)

“I’ve tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas!”

that’s dumb as fuck and you should know better

were talking under a picture of a fallen down post with 275 upvotes and 2 down

what you’re suggesting is that i stand in the ocean and hold my arms out trying to stop the sea, there’s too many americans, you have chased away everyone else and now you bitch at me as if i’m responsible for that

Nope, I'm suggesting you join the wave. Believe it or not, people can upvote more than one post, possibly even yours!

and now you bitch at me as if i’m responsible for that

Ain't "bitch"ing at you. What I am doing is pointing out that nothing is preventing you from participating besides your own self-defeating "poor me" attitude, and cowardice.

Flock is international. They claim a quarter million cameras up in Europe. So American cameras surveilling everyone. Local govts across the world paying into it.
