Realistically, other whales would probably hate orcas, given they hunt whale calves

This statement does not fit my joke.

How can I delete someone else's comment?

Write a stern letter to the Internet Committee, explaining your grievances. I'm sure they are happy to assist, especially on cases like this one! 👍

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Thank you. Will they raise the issue with the Lords of the Internet???

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't go THAT far! Before you know it backfires 🤢

[–] Emma_Gold_Man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, they'll need to raise it with the Elders if the Internet.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Oh shoot! I got it wrong. lol. Thanks for setting me straight! The Elders won’t be pleased with me.

You have to type your password into a comment, post it, and then hop on one leg while refreshing lemmy for 10 minutes. After that, it should delete the user's comment.

I think I'm doing something wrong. Does it matter which leg I hop on? Does it have to be mine???

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, and no.
