How is that people in positions of power often seem to have no sense of humour... Or at the very least their humour is completely different to mine... Is it just an age/generational thing?

Aliko Dangote seems to be a real classy guy:

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, the address is "street, house number, Brasil"? I guess he missed 2 levels of data hierarchy there.

[–] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think he don't need to mention the full address just to show him he know where he live. Street address is enough.

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's a bit odd....

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Do I have your permission to cross-post that into !osvaldo12@lemmy.fancywhale.ca ? ( feel free to do so yourself as well, otherwise)

[–] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't need to ask for my permission as I don't own that content, it just something that I found when googling the man.

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Cool! Thanks!

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Ah I missed that sub, thanks for the link!

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 18 points 2 years ago

I believe it's a self-esteem issue. Someone that needs to enforce beliefs onto others could be very much self-aware of people 'laughing at them'. Had my fair share of colleagues like this from a wide range of age groups and cultures, unfortunately.

[–] exterstellar@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The amount of anger in his response is part of what makes this hilarious. Major "I Think You Should Leave" energy.

In South Africa every 60 seconds a minute passes.

Here's the thing you should know about its citizens:

They really support software piracy

They are friendly

Feel free to post your favourite Osvaldo12 related posts/memes on the newly formed !osvaldo12@lemmy.fancywhale.ca

[–] itsAsin@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hot damn! i am the first to open your page thru lemmy.world and behold i now understand just a little bit more about how "federating" works.

good luck with your /c

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 7 points 2 years ago

lol Thanks for stopping by! Just had to be done, I couldn't find any other osvaldo12 /c out there.

[–] aport@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Is he like a new Ken M?

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't even know he had a subreddit, much less a lemmy community. Subbed.

Is he still actively shitposting, though?

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I haven’t seen it anymore, but he did a few posts last year from what I remember. I don’t have twitter anymore for that. Maybe I’ll create a bot for that.

[–] navitux@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

long live to Osvaldo12 wherever he is now

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Even though osvaldo12 uses the internet, he still lives in his home.

[–] navitux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

of course, but I don't know where's the geographic location he's right now, maybe he moved

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He moves about at the beat of his heart.

[–] navitux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Even though home is where the heart is, the house or apartment of osvaldo12 does not change location when he leaves it. This in spite of the fact that he never goes anywhere without his heart.

[–] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 23 points 2 years ago

It’s so dumb but I love it. I’m going to need to borrow that line.

[–] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only subreddit I am missing. :( Osvaldo

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !osvaldo12@lemmy.fancywhale.ca

[–] Espiovvv@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago
[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Excellent bot! Is there a command to summon it when it's needed and doesn't automatically appear?

[–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Yes! We need a spell to summon the this beast for the greater good.

[–] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Osvaldooooo.

Subbed.

[–] dilawar@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

someone invite osvalo to lemmy.

[–] danie10@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

It really depends on where in Africa, as in some countries, it literally carries the death penalty... Africa is a big and diverse place.

It's a joke. Jokes work by setting up an expectation, then subverting it. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" You think it might to be get bugs or run away from a fox, but the answer is "to get to the other side". This joke works the same way. You think it's going to be able a common want or need that spans sexual orientations, but it has to do with night coming after the day.

Also, the politician is a humorless fuck head and is being trolled.

Neither works.

Majority disagrees.
