    I’m going to assume you are not a troll lol.

    Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

    In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

    The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

    Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

    So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

    Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know





  • “Can we have something like multireddits please”

    “Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”

    “I’m making a new Lemmy app”

    “I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”

    “Wtf is a tankie”

    “Rule”

    “[A meme about being trans]”

    “[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”

    “[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”

    “I miss Apollo”

    PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.











  • As far as I know, companies like Gfycat make money by selling API access to different apps. Like say in a messaging app likeTelegram or Signal. The easiest way for them to integrate a gif search and send function inside of messages is through API access to Gfycat’s servers. Gfycat then charges them for this streamlined integration and access.

    That plus selling user data or ads on their website means they will have some revenue. I dont know if its enough to keep them afloat. Since they are shutting down, I’m guessing it didnt pan out so well.
