I’ve recently joined Lemmy and was reminded of this old fact I used to hear about all the time that lemmings will commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs when they migrate (lemmings being the namesake of Lemmy, I think?).
Do lemmings actually do this? Because I think it would be funny if a social media software was named after an animal that’s literally known for mass hysteria / mob mentality.
No, they breed too fast and get peshed off the cliff by overcrowding.
Someone told me that, I’ve no idea if it is true
They got pushed off a cliff by Disney in the 1950s.
