Luv me chips. Hate gulls. Simple as.
So I turns around, and I sez…
I said seagull: Stop it now!
Hm ha hm hm ha
*shouldn’t have"
I think it was intentional
Shortened to “shouldnt’ve”, for those somehow still confused by this.
Yes, that’s that’s issue with this sentence.
What is the point in jokes with some people
Oy Wot?
first off, in the politest way possible, fuck you
‘me chip’ isn’t correct either
‘simple as’… simple as what?
they’re not going for correct grammar, they’re phonetically spelling the accent and slang
Anthony Fantano has fucking lost it
This should be told to all seagulls… Is he also a Florida man?
He should have eaten the seagull.
Fuck seagulls
Mom, Frank killed a Seagull.
Whole Kelly family screams
Bad luck to kill a sea bird.
Simple as that*
“Simple as” is british slang
It is my understanding that it is common in NZ/AUS to leave the “that” out which is implied.
It’s from an English dialect.
To expand further the implication is that the whole proposition is simple and ‘Simple As’ is the end of the conversation, much like ‘End of’ which likewise suggests that no further analysis is needed.
Having known a few Aussies, I have never heard them leave out “that”. It fits in though with some of the other oddities in dialect they have.
I thought Lemmy was left leaning, but the Grammar Nazis, Meme Division are apparently alive and well.
You think grammar nazis aren’t found all along the spectrum? We’re everywhere.

Should have. Not of. Which language is your mother tounge? I see this more often. Is american school that bad?
I may get down voted for this but… seems like nobody spells “tongue” right.
How the fuck are you going to define someone by a pension? Seems like a lot of assumptions and prejudice goin in that definition. Is Pension like a town or something too?
My understanding is that it’s a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly
Oh I see because in the UK people actually get pensions
I know some safety nets are better than none (and that this is a meme thread I’m dragging down), but don’t fool yourself - millions of older people in the UK go hungry and cold because they can’t afford the basics.
I think we got a similar situation all over europe, maybe not as bad and certainly better than most of the world but still shitty!
This is correct.
Still completely irrelevant to the story though (but that’s to be expected in tabloid territory).
Same in Sweden/norway. Pensionär/pensjonist are synonyms for retiree.
