Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the stupidest thing you’ve heard someone say that they were 100% serious about?
~ me
Bat naman may patama :((
My dad once told me when I was young na pag naholdap ka raw sabihin mo “Hindi tayo talo” at guaranteed na papabayaan ka. I’m glad I was never in that situation malamang na-gripuhan ako.
I kind of see where your father got it from. Honor among thieves, that kind of thing–that doesn’t make it any less stupid tho. Besides, kahit na makumbinsi mo yung holdaper mo na pareho lang kayo ng “line of work”, di yun garantiya na di ka nya papatuisin.
But speaking from personal experience, kung kung nakatira ka sa lugar na maraming snatchers, for example, malamang markado ka na as a local, and they generally leave you alone. Tipong “Oi! Yang si Megane, taga looban yan, mabait nanay nyan! Wag nyong papatusin yan ah!” Lol!
yun “lion” daw si 88M kahit di attend debate
I remember a guy stating that duterte not disclosing his SALNs was a 4d chess move to force congress to make a law making filing your SALNs mandatory.

Agapito Flores is the “inventor” of fluorescent light (Edmund Germer left the chat)
-
Mangyans have “tails” (it’s a derogatory myth)
-
Tasadays had a “Stone Age culture”
-
in comes to health madami eh,
- “hindi namamatay ang coronavirus kahit sa alcohol, heat, soap”
- “coronavirus ay hindi sipon lang”(actually pde ka magkasipon lang tlga gawa ng coronavirus, I’m not talking about being asymptomatic, I’m talking about actually contracting cold due to coronavirus)
- “tinatawag na coronavirus ang COVID-19”(bruh SARS and MERS left the chat)
- “treating vitamins and minerals as a cure”(sinisipon ka? inom ka lemon mataas sa vitamin c yan!)
- “Ang immune system ay nasa tiyan kaya dapat kumain ka ng kumain”(they treat lamina propria as the immune god, actually hindi tumitigil ang immune response sa tyan at dahil dito mas tone down ang immune system dito, kasi kung hindi chronic inflammation ang aabutin nito so mas mahina ang immune system sa tyan kesa sa for example sa balat pag nasugatan ka kaya nga may gut bacteria eh makakasurvive ba yon kung sobrang lakas ng immune system sa tyan)
- “treating common cold during flu season as allergy”(flu season nga eh viruses ang talamak, hindi allergens)
- “antibiotic for viral infection”(antivirals left the chat)
- “mas maasim mas marami vitamin c”(this misinfo is even taught to elementary schools, 5 calamansi for making calamansi drink > 1 lemon for making lemonade)
- “pag mataba mas malusog”(fattier the better, actually mas bad kasi fat cells are easily stimulated to produce inflammatory cytokines)
- “underestimating immune system”(Immune system can kill you in 15 minutes if it turn against you, ebola can kill you in 6 days)
Nakaka stress din ung concept of pasma hahaha.

Reddit. Ang huling gabi.
Really curious to see how much people will react. Im still salty rph didnt participate in the protest trolling.
eat bulaga nasa isip ko
Parang may pa-farewell post nga ako nakita dun kanina. Sana aware sila this place exists and move here, lol.
Edit: Ayan na naman po yung tankie daw founder ng Lemmy kaya baka maging Reddit din eventually. The beauty of the fediverse is that if the so-called dev/founder goes off the rails, there’s nothing he can do about lemmy.world.

Di ko talaga gets ito. Maraming instances naman na pwede nilang salihan, kung talagang ayaw nila ng Lemmy, pwede naman silang mag-Kbin.
Gusto ko sana sa wt.social kasi founder ng wikipedia yung gumawa kaso wala talaga guys. Mukhang panalo reddit. Watak watak mga alternatives
Given the activity levels nung communities sa alternatives, parang di naman ata nag-watak-watak? I dunno about Tiles kung merong mga napadpad dun. But it seems to me that a lot of those who left Reddit congregated here. Sure, network effects sucks, but without people actually going away from Reddit, populating their preferred alternative, failing that, moving to their second-most preferred alternative, etc, and so on until their “at least it’s not Reddit” platform of choice, eh tama nga siguro siya–panalo talaga ang Reddit.
Ang plano ko, July 1 ako magpapaalam sa Reddit, pero dahil sa disgusting outcome ng botohan sa r/Philippines noong June 19, I decided to leave Reddit prematurely.
Ah, I almost forgot about this. I was even planning on giving RIF one last spin just for old time’s sake. Pero eh, for some reason nawalan na ako ng gana.
The sooner I just cut myself off Reddit, even through RIF, the better.
Interesting road junction that I found on Google Streetview. Behind the camera (east) is Cagayan, to the left (south) is Kalinga, and to the right (north) is Apayao.
Tuao ❤️
Ang sarap talagang mag-virtual byahe via Google street view no? I can’t imagine the amount of time I’ve wasted just going around, and around and around.
Also, discovering places “relatively nearby” me that I haven’t even imagined. Or answering some questions that I’ve left rotting in the backrooms of my brain, like "how does the Metro Manila-Rizal-Bulacan tripoint look like? Found a picture of it just now, it’s a fairly innocent-looking point in a stream. No markers nor anything. Well, mejo remote area rin naman kasi siya.
But yeah! Even just idly exploring, with no aim in particular, is soothing.

Slow news day at GMA 🤣
Angelica Panganiban’s daughter Amila pinches Ninang Glaiza’s cheek
dapat nasa history books ito
Sana dumami na bukas kasi may hot take ako tungkol kay Rendon Labador, already forming arguments in the hindsight, HAHAHA but still do it otherwise, I’ll also make it a post not a comment here on RD
subscribe to Dr. B for chismis
uhm… if recent confidential issue being exposed to public is what you’re subscribing to about Rendon, sorry to disappoint you but that is not what I’ll gonna do tomorrow rather I’ll make a discussion that curtails to Rendon’s old statement and challenge the popular opinions that surrounds it, I’ll view his statements that made him popular that is rebuke by myriads of netizens in another limelight and I will argue why that statement of his is actually a sound advice
Since bukas na ata yung effect sa reddit API I expect my post to be much engaged and am ready to be reproached and to refute but still post it kahit di ganoon karami madagdag na phlemmings
in a few hours, mawawala na rin ang boost for reddit. the official app is stupid at yun lang ung pinaka ok na alternative. it made me learn more about reddit and helped me stumble upon the RDs that became a safe haven during the pandemic. i also learned about the old legends from other subs, and that recent ph history thread only proved that there was a thriving community in that site. sad to see a lot of redditors leave (and/or limit their usage). taena kasi ni spez eh haha napasenti tuloy ng wala sa oras bwiset dhjdjd
Ang mahal na ng sine ngayon, halos 400 na? Yeesh.
Siguro kailangang bumawi sa mga lugi noong pandemya.
Pero mas mabuti na rin ito para hindi na mag-sine nang mag-isa, dahil mga bading lang daw ang gumagawa noon.
Tang-ina mo pa rin Aldrin.

Sa Recto ba nanoonod yung nagsabi sa iyo nito? Bakit nya alam? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hindi sa akin sinabi yan ah, sabi lang yan ni Aldrin sa isang Redditor noong December 2017
For some reason, this chain of transmission (of information) made me laugh. Ang fishy na ewan.
Also, yeah, I’ve had experienced na may tumabi sa akin nung nanood akong mag-isa ng sine (this was mid 2000’s, circa 2004~2006)–sa may Cubao. I was so innocent back then, lol! They generally wouldn’t mind if you tell them you’re not into that kind of thing, I think?
Why do I feel like I’m incriminating myself telling this story? HAHAHAHAHAH!
dahil mga bading lang daw ang gumagawa noon.
Today I learned I’m gay 😂
Me too! I’m not really a movie fan, but I’ve been in the cinemas alone twice.
I like going to the cinema alone. I don’t have to overthink if gusto ng kasama ko yung movie hahaha. Tsaka mas enjoy ko yung movie, same with eating alone. But I’m a loner so 🤷
parehas para kayo loner – it’s a match
Ako naman gusto ko kasi talagang panoorin yung movie. Both times, at the last minute, nagbago ng gustong panoorin yung mga kasama ko tapos wala na ko mahila para makasama.
I enjoy eating alone too. Mabagal kasi akong kumain. Nakakapressure ngumuya kapag may kasama kang mabilis kumain.
Me spending PHP600+ on a Large Format or IMAX cinema:
Of course, depende sa movie kung ginawa gamit large format o IMAX camera. Kung hindi naka-IMAX o large format, panoorin na lang sa regular 2D.
And been watching movies in theater alone since 2017. Sometimes ako o 2-3 audiences sa loob. Around February this year after watching Babylon, may couple na naguusap na sana ganito palagi para walang sagabal, at tatlo lang kami nun. That movie was exhausting and exciting at the same time, three hours well spent.
Eh yung huli kong ala-ala ng presyo ng sine eh nasa ₱200 lang.
It’s been a terribly long while since I went to the movies. 🥹
And I thought me watching Ragnarok last year for the first time since 2019 was already a long break, lol.
Lol! 2019 is just last year, right? Right?! 😱
When was the last time you went to the cinemas? The last time I went to the cinemas was Raimi’s 1st Spider-Man, with my mom and younger brother. lmao!
It might be more than a decade ago at this point. Circa 2004, I think. I remember being in some mall (SM Megamall ata ito), and took a quick peek at the cinemas only to be disgusted at how expensive it is. Kasi at that point, I was expecting it to be ₱75 🤣
Ang naging ending ata, since I wasn’t looking to watch any movie in particular anyways, I just left and did something else.
Just found out about YouTube’s plan to disable video playback for viewers who are using ad blockers.
From the article:
The company has confirmed to The Verge that it’s currently running “a small experiment globally that urges viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium.”
The statement comes after some people began noticing a new prompt warning that video playback could be cut off if YouTube detects repeated use of ad blocking tools. Android Authority earlier reported on those tests, which prevent viewers from watching more than three videos when an ad blocker is active.
I’m pretty much concerned about how it’d affect people who use ReVanced. With Manifest V3 crippling adblocker capabilities, Google going after entities such as Invidious and Vanced (I think ReVanced is next, if not already being attacked), I think Google’s drive to make their primary business: advertising, unblockable is getting very serious.
I could probably start watching YT a lot less, do something productive with my time. At the same time, I just feel irritated enough that want to watch YT in any other way other than Google’s way.
I was a Vanced/SmartTube user for a long time, but when Google started cracking down on them, the family decided to pool our money together and just get YT Premium. One thing I’m going to miss is the automatic skipping of sponsors. As much as I’m sorry to admit that, Linus.
That’s one way to resolve things, buying YT Premium and being left at peace. While I respect that, part of me thinks that it is giving in to the pressure, that what Google wants is for people to give in. Thus, even if I do have the money for it, I don’t think I would as a matter of principle.
What that principle is, I guess at this point, I’d admit that I am just pretty much against what Google symbolizes–big tech swallowing up everything. And by refusing to give in and buying YT Premium, I feel like I am resisting and protecting whatever few principles I’ve got left.
It helps that I’m not paying. Nakisakay lang ako since you can have up to 4 profiles. 😄
Meanwhile, in Cordon, Isabela, this sign feels ominous and threatening to me. Like are you taking me to a mysterious place that doesn’t exist?
Turn your shirt inside out before you proceed, just to be safe, y’know!
I kinda want to follow that road sign to the remotest parts of Sierra Madre! lol! Via Google Streetview ah!
Damn! Kakatambay ko sa FB, na-spoil tuloy ako sa Kimetsu No Yaiba! 😭
mamamatay si muzan
Wozniacki is making a comeback! 💕
Another self-loathing post spotted in the orange place.
*orangered place
Nabali ko yung spen ko dahil sa katangahan 😭😭😭
Nyelo, mga peeps. Ngayon lang nakapagbukas ulet. Switched to connect for lemmy kasi nagccrash yung jerboa sa tablet ko.
Anyways, late good morning y’all.
