Unless you are James Bond, then you Only Live Twice and get to Die Another Day.

Look both ways when crossing a street #YOLO

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That's actually my take on that saying. You get one life, so be fucking careful!

I wonder how many intended to live fast and die hard, only to find out they were vampires. And now they have to live forever.

That would be me, didn't expect to make it to 30, now I'm 35 and still picking up the pieces

An important sacrifice to disprove reincarnation.

They were reincarnated as cautious people.

I did use to say it for the funny. We just morphed into "at least you only live once".

GitHub Copilot has YOLO mode which will give it complete control to approve everything itself

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's pretty much what people said would happen back then.

"People only live once and then they're dead."

I think you can still say that.

Whenever I heard that dopey phrase, I replied (whether under my breath or out loud): "SWTIA?"

"So why throw it away?"
