Do you think they'll fall victim to the ads since they've never experienced the internet before?

Hot chicks in your local Oblast, click here!!

The Russians have already been falling for it kind of, but then considering some of the reactions we saw from them at the start of the war to flushing toilets and the like, they might be new to this too..

Boggles the mind to think stepmoms will prevent WW3.

"You now have access to the collective knowledge of the entire world."

"Nah, let me see the boobies!"

[–] mm_maybe@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

this is pretty much the most common response to AI as well

Well with ai your choice is deeply flawed knowledge from a system that can't recognise it's own mistakes or semi-convincing generated pictures. It does one of these significantly better.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's where it starts. Then once they find Wikipedia, it'll be a game changer.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 42 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we're living in

but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don't think there'd be that many trump supporters

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

My mom believes that Wikipedia is "influenced and censored." She didn't like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.

So no, Wikipedia doesn't cure cultism.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

*facts don't cure...

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

There's a difference between a cultist living thru the growth of the Internet and social media. It's another when you have people completely cut off from the vast majority of the world and information for the last few decades.

A surprising amount of technological development is for pornography. Video-casettes won out because pornography used them over laserdisc or betamax.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think you meant VHS won out. Betamax was also a video cassette format.

And yes, porn had a lot to do with why VHS won!

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

VHS beat betamax because porn, dvd beat laserdisc because porn, streaming beat physical because porn.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Imagine being an adult raised without all-you-can-stomach porn and suddenly getting access to the Internet.

SO. MANY. BLISTERS.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Had 15 year old pre-internet me been suddenly handed even the internet of say 1996 with its far smaller quantity of available porn, but with no gradual transition between my near-pornless world and that, I may very well have found a way to masturbate myself to death before I ever made it out of puberty.

This is my rifle. This is my gun. This is for shooting. This is for fun.

Those of us who grew up before the internet have experienced that.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

We had a couple decades of slow acclimatization: crappy black and white scans, weird CGA scans, glorious 16 colors, all of which had to be painstakingly downloaded at 2400 baud or less, then finally lifelike 256 color images. And then tiny gifs or videos that would take all night. In the semi modern era, there was crappy filesharing where you could type search strings in and hope for the best (and enough seeds).

But these poor bastards are going from zero straight to pornhub.

Wait until they find the Japanese sites.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's a lot different growing up as the internet did vs discovering it in 1 day

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

That's true.

"Unfettered" is a big word for the Russian internet.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

In my experience using yandex, its a lot easier to find almost anything on the Russian internet

[–] miak@lemmy.world 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You know, we really should have a world wide Fap For Peace day. Like those "Pray for [insert thing]" days you sometimes hear about people doing.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 30 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] miak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

This is amazing! Why haven't I heard of this and why isn't it a bigger deal. The world needs this more than ever!

Thank you for this!

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 25 points 18 hours ago

The milfs in their area may move them out of position

[–] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

Genuinely curious, what are they using to access the Internet? I'm struggling to believe they brought smartphones with them that are universally compatible with the cell networks? Do they have PCs in the barracks and the dudes are just huddled around having the time of their lives?

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

I can't imagine why they would have phones of any kind, let alone smartphones. If there's any truth to this article I'd say it's the Russians who went like 'Oh, you've never seen porn before? Well check this out!'

Supposedly Russia's military comms were so terrible that they ended up adopting smart phones en masse and use plain old cellular and messaging apps like Telegram instead.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 36 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

WiFi is a standard protocol. Russians are also clever with electronics. Gaining favor with the new guys is as easy as giving them an old phone. WiFi still works.

I don't think most people fighting for Russia are super indoctrinated on the Russian side; opportunistic, morally corrupt, maybe, but not super jaded. Even if you're fighting in dubious circumstances, the level of NK dystopian cult insanity is next level crazy. I can't picture anyone that is around those guys being totally passive about the extent of bowdlerization and disinformation present in NK. Like you've got a bigger humanitarian obligation to show those kids that they are living in The Hunger Games IRL.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 13 hours ago

They’re also using Starlink apparently (eeewwwww)

We haven't ruled out the possibility of Dear Leader porn. Also have the state-approved stuff like Debbie Does DPRK, Backdoor Kim Sluts, Taepo-dong and Juche Bottom Babes.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 12 hours ago

It's a sad day for Rule 34.
