Honestly, we need to make this an emoji already

I think someone already proposed it, but I lack the technological know-how to make it into the proper format

That and my desktop computer kerploded and I do not currently have the funds to fix it (thank you very much AI companies)

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 25 points 6 days ago

Oh god another unreasonable giant hexbear emoji that takes half screen.

[-] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 49 points 6 days ago

Funny cuz it's illegibly small on my side

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 20 points 6 days ago

The site makes them small but to every other instance is the original image as far as I know.

[-] reader@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

it shows the correct size on lemmy.ml...

custom emoji is a default part of the lemmy software, if under-utilized by other instances, if your preferred app or frontend doesn't implement rendering of emojis at a reasonable emoji size, that's their problem IMO

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

Would you say it's... unbearably large?

Thanks, I'll be here all week

Avoid the chowder, it's a little clammy

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

That Evil gene is rearing up again

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 29 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

We don't need Simpsons emojis as long as you're here to post them in full

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but I can't be on here all day

I got books to write and organizations to organize

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago
[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

I knew some beautiful soul did this already!

Needs to be added to the list ASAP

Reality is going to make sure we need it

[-] ComRed@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago

Getting lots of questions already answered by my "graham didn't die in the factory explosion" shirt.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

Heart attack gun not real not real. And Senator Cracker and me had the best relationship ever. He just died suddenly. Bad genes. Not like me - good genes very, very good genes. Sometimes your heart blows up from purely natural causes. Boom. And you die. Believe me. Believe me.

[-] robotElder2@hexbear.net 69 points 6 days ago

Oh he absolutely got exploded in that factory then.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)
[-] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 29 points 6 days ago

I've been limiting my doomscrolling the past few weeks. Can someone elaborate, what factory?

[-] calidris@hexbear.net 47 points 6 days ago
[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

So is the theory that he was in the same facility again the next day for some reason

[-] miz@hexbear.net 36 points 6 days ago

I think the theory is that someone is lying about the timing

[-] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ukraine drone factory he was documented visiting "the day before" it got hit by Russia

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

Left the geolocation data on the pictures he posted.

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 26 points 6 days ago

Choked trying to swallow a missile.

[-] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago
[-] john_brown@hexbear.net 51 points 6 days ago

trying to imagine a scenario where Ukkkraine doesn't immediately start making all the noise possible about a US senator getting slimed by Russia and I just can't

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 36 points 6 days ago

Yeah, this is the piece that blows apart the theory. Ukraine would absolutely be screaming about this, there'd be nothing to shut them up.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Not saying its true but:

there'd be nothing to shut them up.

Threaten to cut-off arms supply

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

Threaten to cut-off arms

[-] john_brown@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

announcing that it happened guarantees an increase in arms supply no matter what trump says

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Ukraine announces 'Ruzzia killed ladybug',

Trump and State department refute or just don't acknowledge the claim, (and I think even Ukraine glazing dems would recognize the level of escalation that admitting that Russia killed a sitting Senator would entail would be unwanted, so they wouldn't take up the claim either)

Leaving it just another claim from the Banderite government to incite escalation and more support that's remains unproven/unacknowledged by the US, hence no increase in arms supply from this incident specifically

[-] john_brown@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

so much of this zero thought conspiracy crap making the rounds in "left" online spaces

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

The root of conspiracy theories is and always has been entirely vibes based, which makes it contrary to a materialist worldview. The reason there aren't spaces for conspiracy theory discussions on leftist platforms is because leftists should be trying to discourage reactionary thought patterns.

[-] john_brown@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

I agree there shouldn't be, but have a look at this entire post for the counterexample

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

c/debunk is needed.

We need a leftist Skeptic community.

[-] nasezero@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

Honestly surprised that they're not trying to do it anyways. Maybe I'm giving the fascists' imagination too much credit shrug-outta-hecks

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 32 points 6 days ago

Why comment on it at all? Can't he just order them to not investigate?

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That's just going to make the conspiracy theory nuts go crazy. Comparatively, stating that the investigation will be a waste of time before it turns out to have been a waste of time will make him appear reasonable and correct for the first time since 16 October, 2012.

Huh, fair enough!

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago

So this means he did it. Made the Havana Gun notched up to max.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 14 points 6 days ago

Death by ladybug

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Nothing to hide nothing to fear my guy.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

They put the micro-explosives from Escape from New York in his aorta

[-] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

dude felt chest pains and then didn't use his excellent healthcare plan. they're calling it the most preventable death in history

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

It totally wasn't too much coocaine. zelensky-pain

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

Well, I wasn't suspicious of him before, but now...

He sure does know how to play the Heel really well.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
