    I’m just here to comment how nice it is to see semicolons used, and correctly used at that, in a meme. Sexy

      That’s just what the Grammar Industrial Complex wants you to believe about their so-called punctuation.

      is it more correct here than a comma and why?

        the explanation i received a long time ago in grade school was:

        commas should be used when you want to combine a sentence with a sentence fragment (i.e. something that’s not a sentence); semicolons should be used when you want to combine a sentence with another sentence, provided both sentences are closely related to each other.

        now, i’m sure the actual rule is probably more complicated and nuanced than that, but the above idea has served me well throughout my academic career. i’ve found it helpful for getting an intuition on when they should be used and why.

        It’s probably just a typo.

      Christ, I would think that the last thing you’d want to be doing on acid is browsing the internet where you can’t be sure of what exactly you’ll scroll across.

      Maybe I’m vitally misunderstanding acid trips, but where’s your trip guide/designated driver/sober buddy? Where’s your pre-prepped/vetted media to keep you from a bad experience?

        last acid trip consisted of me browsing Lemmy for many hours aswell, because my “trip guide” kinda bailed on me, but it still wasn’t all that bad. Really, its all about the mindset, if you can convince yourself that everything is fine, it is.

          My last acid trip involved spending a night at a campsite. I’m not really sure how or why…we didn’t have a camper…or a tent. We just found a patch of grass in a rather busy campground and tripped balls in the open all night.

        Trip sitters and vetting content isn’t required imo if u know yourself and how you react to drugs in general.

        But building up the dosage slowly and having someone there for the first time is probably smart.

        I’d also avoid taking an hour bike trip through a dark forest but hindsight is 20/20, theme parks are great fun on the other hand though.

        Man reading the random weird shit I found online was a fun part of my trips, sooo many weird but interesting rabbit holes you find, it’s like they’re hidden slightly askew from reality.

        There is no trip sitter lol. The four of us just go on YouTube and find the funniest shit we can, go on a walk. Come back and watch a movie. And finish it all off with a tasteful selection of YouTube poop

    Was half expecting a slightly more combustible take on lemons…

    What do you mean by “Citrons” that just means lemon in French and I’ve never heard it used in English.

        For the lazy:

        “A source of confusion is that ‘citron’ in French and English are false friends, as the French word ‘citron’ refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is ‘cédrat’.

        Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]”

          Yeah just looked it up, and apparently a citron tree is called a sukade tree (sukadeboom) in Dutch, and the fruits are called ceder apples (cederappel) for some reason. I had heard of sukade before but had no idea it had anything to do with citrus.

      The show is called “Invincible” about a superhero with the same name, who is the son in the image. The father is patterned after Superman and is challenging.

    We all got holes to fill
    And them holes are all that’s real
    Some fall on you like a storm
    Sometimes you dig your own
