^^^^actually when you poisoned the water supply we discovered that the city’s pipe infrastructure is really severely outdated, so thank you for bringing that to our attention to that. milliomns of people have gotten really sick over the last few years.
secondly becausw you snuck past the security cameras so easily, we discovered that the funds for that security system were being embezzled by government officials, so you busted a major fraud ring.
and lastly the pathogen you unleashed does give people mild diharrea, but we found it’s also a great source of vitamin C which recent studies show residents have not been getting enough of. it’s also an effective probiotic that helps people fight off a particularly nasty virus that we’ve been trying to keep a handle on for some time now without much success. really can’t thank you enough
From where I sit, you replied to a comment about Judaism with a comment assuming the person you were replying to thought the same thing about Islam, and wondered why he got mad.
my god you really aren’t. see the thing is if you look at the meme, it is a humorous visual pun of a picture of dozens of people playing the lute, a guitar-like musical instrument, and thereby partaking in “luting” as a humorous pun on the much-scaremongered-about looting that occurred following the BLM protests in 2020. these people playing the lutes could thus be referred to as “luters”
The enshittification of Google results does NOT just apply to Google. Even if we don’t count the “engines” that use Google as a backend, like Startpage and Metager, every search engine nowadays has been indexing fewer and fewer useful pieces of content. Time was, if you wanted to find a comment on Reddit or Tumblr or what have you and you knew some part of it word for word, you could put that portion betweeen quotes and you’d find it immediately. Now you’ll just get nothing. DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Qwant, Bing, none of em’ll do it. Not even pushshift works properly anymore.
Do not get me started on the trash fire that is Searx. Hosting your own search engine sounds cool until you realize it means running your own indexer and only getting results from sites your individual instance has crawled.
Also, did you hear that Gigablast, the only open-source search engine apart from Searx, shut its doors for good earlier this year?
