Users of Lemmy, would you rather be called a "Lemmyer" or a "Lemon"? Or something else? (sopuli.xyz)

I won’t complain about Lemmings.

  1. The game was cute.
  2. Lemmings do not commit mass suicide but rather the lemmings that gave rise to this false fact were driven to do so by (ultimately) a CEO looking to create a specific narrative that is at odds with the truth https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/white-wilderness-lemming-suicide/
  3. Lemmings are adorably fierce little bastards. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/running-ponies/when-lemmings-attack-why-carrying-on-like-a-deranged-squeaky-toy-totally-works/

I’ll abide by the consensus. But I do think “lemmings” is a strong contender.

That CEO one fits all of the Reddit refugees very very well Especially those from Apollo
