Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Maybe according to tinder. In reality that's pretty damn average.

No, I'm just 6'5"

Edit: downvotes? Do you reject reality and substitute your own?

Edit edit: apparently it's just an "I'm angy that I'm short" button

Do you reject reality and substitute your own?

Quite literally what you are doing by calling the exact average for a US male, short, just because it's not freakishly tall like yourself. Some self awareness may be in order.

You don't seem to understand.

I am literally 6'5". That fact is being disagreed with.

Furthermore, y'all are short.

You're not understanding context.

No one has disagreed with your height. Not sure how you managed to misinterpret that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably by how everyone is using the downvote button as a "press this if you're short and angry" button.

You're not good at actually responding to what someone said, are you? Just complete nonsequiturs from you. At this point complaining about down votes gets you more down votes.
