      That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)

      Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.

      (Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)

    I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.

    We call ourselves lemmings? That’s new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.

    When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit… I know what I’d pick.

    When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.

    Because lemmings are cute. Lemons are just something you squeeze the juice out of to make lemonade or just lemon water to clean your liver.

    I knew a lawyer-lady who was, technically, a “Miss Lemmon”.

    She really hated my shitty Hercule Perot accent.

    Can’t really blame her on that. Fortunately I only cracked the joke once.

    You’re clearly operating in some kind of made up world. Lemmings is amazing.

    Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They’re gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

    It has big “the narwhal bacons at midnight” vibes
