The presence of the minions itself. When it is known that:

• people roll their eyes at memes involving them, especially here.
• they generally add nothing to the meme
• used by boomers a lot on Facebook

For me, here’s what I was thinking when I saw this meme:

• wholesome-ish meme
• minions? Ew. What was the choice behind using them?
• the community is Lemmy shitpost?
• oh LMFAO it’s a nod at Facebook memes.
• funny.

Humor is subjective, and it’s ok if you don’t find a joke funny ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

That’s the joke. This meme is making fun of Facebook memes shared by moms. If this satire angle didn’t exist, it would probably be posted in some wholesome memes community.

We need a shitpost community INSIDE Lemmy shitpost. Half of the people here aren’t capable of handling this level of humor unfortunately (judging from the downvotes ಠ⁠ω⁠ಠ

Idiots.

And they looked remarkably similar! Must’ve been twins like us! Looks like “loving” twins runs through our family.

I don’t think this is it. It’s simply a question of return on investment.

If I had oil industry related investments, I would want:

• supply from my investments to go up.
• demand for my supplied goods/services to go up.

Now if I am a small investor, it would make sense for me to slowly sell off my oil assets and invest into green energy IF: – I believe that there are investment opportunities in green energy that will give me a better return on investment than my current oil investments.

Whenever I sell an investment to pivot to some other investment, I undermine the value of my current investment. How’s that? Because I’m increasing the supply of my investment asset. This lowers the price.

Basically, if my oil stock was worth x, and if I put it for sale on the market, it’s now worth x-y, where y is some positive number.

Again, if I’m a small investor, y will be tiny as I’m not really increasing the supply of the oil stock by much.

BUT. If I’m an oil oligarch… Well, y is going to be VERY HIGH. It does not make monetary sense for me to sell off my assets and move them to green energy. I don’t necessarily have confidence that my losses (y) would be recouped through the ROI from green energy.

I’m a selfish, unempathetic asshole. I want to maintain my wealth. Therefore, I take the cheaper way out -> influence the government to delay green investment, so that demand for oil doesn’t fall.

Market demand. They get built because the capitalists think that people want them to be built. If people don’t want them to be built, they would go out of business and shut down.

But to answer your question, my city is sprawling and growing vertically at the same time. For the new neighborhoods, yeah, gas stations, bank branches and other such businesses do get constructed in the central commercially zoned part.

Lmfao telling it to “not act like AI” in the beginning works for me. I like to tell it to “be as efficient as possible with the word count” to prevent most of the bs. Works decent enough for my purposes.

Tastes really good even when you have bad/stale coffee. Much better than iced coffee.

Freshly roasted (7-30 days after roast) becomes alive when brewed hot. It’s like tasting higher resolution coffee (when compared to cold brew)

I would agree (not an evolutionary biologist). Game theory at the end of the day ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
