Make up a word that is not found anywhere on the internet

Returns word that is found on the internet as a brand of nose rings, as a youtube username, as an already made up word in fantasy fiction, and as a (ocr?) typo of urethra

MENSA is a big con. my mother humoured me when i was around 14 or so and i posted back the mini iq test from some paper or magazine or other. of course they replied wow you're a genius, you better come and get tested in a strict testing environment for real qualified geniuses. they scored me well on their test of words, maths, and square patterns with dots where you have to pick if the next dots should be up or down or whatever. all multiple choice of course.

did alright on the vocab stuff because i read a lot. put my best guess for everything else. big surprise then they gave me an OFFICIAL cert that said you are mega clever why don't you pay to join up? being a naive child of course i wanted to. mum said something to the effect of do you think they are playing you? i thought she was shitting me and just didn't want to pay the sub. obviously i'm a fuckin genius. but i knew she didn't have the spare cash so said yeah nevermind fuck em

dossed the rest of school thinking i didn't need it, why bother when i am a certified genius? never occurred to me that spending all my sunday job money going half on twenty fags and an eighth of soap bar wasnt genius level decison making

i'm doing alright these days but still fuck mensa

i was sceptical of this claim but it appears you're dead right

Most people do not know about this flag’s origins. Its creator appropriated Gilbert Baker’s 1978 rainbow flag and the light blue, pink, and white stripes from the 1999 trans pride flag created by Monica Helms (without even a call to her), and the black and brown stripes from the 2017 More Colors More Pride Flag designed in partnership with Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs and then proceeded to LICENSE THE DESIGN FOR PROFIT

rest of the article is interesting too

this just makes it all the more baffling that this graphic-design-is-my-passion gaudy clashing mess of a flag is the one you see everywhere now

i'm sure there's far more to this but here's one interesting article on the subject

A body donated to science - but used to test bombs: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49198405

of course this is less of a worry in countries other than the US. But tbh if i lived there i'd still give the ok as there's still a chance of my corpse being put to some better use than ash or worm food

after reading this saw that i was banned too. i don't mind (never noticed), but was interested to look up the details

that mushroom comm has 11 posts and two comments. since there's only 11 posts it's not too onerous to check the votes on lemvotes.org

total is 85 down / 82 up (167 total votes including default upvote)

that's 180 total interactions.

the modlog:

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1406343

shows approx 20 bans per page for 20 pages

there's over double the amount of bans than there are total interactions in the whole comm

ptb easy

yeah sure, in general i only block comms though, not users

your inbox would be more manageable if you stopped spamming reposts all day

some films i rated 4+ stars on letterboxd in order of their imdb rating:

Attack of the Adult Babies (4.2)
Antibirth (4.9)
The Feast (5.6)
The Greasy Strangler (5.7)

Blood Punch (6.2)

that was fun to find out. all great films tbh

very well put, cheers

thank you for your service
