    Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? “The governor of Arkansas-” I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me

      A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it’s only for US politics. But it’s not called “usonlypolitics” it’s called “politics”. Somehow they don’t see the problem with that.

      Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.

        But why would the world champions of egg handball see a problem with this?

          Easy to be the world champion in egg handball if you’re the only country that plays that version of egg handball.

        I kinda like it as a soap opera. I hate actual soaps, but this is a better version to watch.

        I can go through so much popcorn.

          I must admit some of it is so hilarious and farcical it does seem like a soap opera… I put on US news for a short spurt every day for giggles… Until that commercial comes on with the slimy woman advertising a deodorant cream she puts in her butt crack

      I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.

        Didn’t realize Lithuania was under 3 million. For some reason I had it in my head that they were closer to 4-5. Insane.

          Alright, polandball time: I’ll ask around the EU++ who wants to play Arkansas in the school play…if nobody takes it, I’m giving it to Hungary :D because they’re being a dick lately. So, which state do you want? I hear Idaho’s nice :) Germany already took California, France took New York, Italy took Texas, Spain took Florida, the Netherlands took Pennsylvania, Poland took Illinois, Romania got Georgia, Sweden asked for Michigan and Austria asked for Massachusets, Finland got offered Indiana, but picked Arizona, lol etc etc…do you want Wisconsin? Also: UK guest starring as Canada and Turkey as Mexico lol

            Idaho, the mountainous parts, are nice. Some of the people are nice. But in general, Idaho has some of the most batshit insane stuff happening in it in regards to cults and crazy people. It’s been getting crazier in recent years. They were an absolute mess during the pandemic and needed tons of help from other states who then couldn’t look after locals in need.

              I was trying to be inclusive, because I’m not american and I don’t want to disparage those places I’ve never been to or know that well…but since you say it…rural states sound like a backwater nightmare :/

      i see multiple posts from the NFL, Hockey and football(soccer) communities daily on my all feed. I don’t care about sports, I care about life and world views, as well as tech. Sports is really nothing more than showing off who can be the biggest asshole

    YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.

    And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don’t understand its popularity.

    A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc…

    Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.

    A boobs/celeb/shoes button

    A religion button.

    People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

      Porn/Comics/TV Series are popular. They’re just variants of those, not really that hard to understand.

        I get that, but like the things I mentioned, most porn/comics/TV is boring, predictable, generic crap and a waste of time and brain cells. So, I don’t understand why most porn/comics/TV is popular either. Absolute garbage! I can think of a thousand things I’d rather be doing than sifting through all that generic crap.

          Well, then you just watch the good ones. It’s been ages since TV Shows (and anime) got popular, there’s stuff like Breaking Bad or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood that are tried and tested and almost everyone likes. There’s personal taste too, sure, but I think it’s hard to find someone that doesn’t like a single genre that has at least 3/4 classic acclaimed shows.

    Meh, I like wheel related sports, partial to BMX but I’ll take what I can get. I’m not into ball sports at all though.

    How about a filter that can filter out all men playing with their balls?.. 🤔

      Oof I forgot about motor sports. IMO even more boring than ball sports.

      Which I didn’t think was possible, but I forgot about motor/wheel sports existence

        I’ll toss you an upvote for admitting you forgot about the flip side. Yeah, not all sports are ball sports.

        Like I said, I’m a BMX flatlander, which isn’t even motor powered. You’re thinking of MX, Motocross, a bit above my skill and nerve level.

        But hey, to each their own, I just never found interest in playing with balls LMFAO!

    For a while, random posts would just transform into baseball live post, with the comments for unrelated posts below. The post was on the METS win, and the comments were talking about how this would help liberate Bakhmut. It’s fixed now, sadly.

    Not gonna lie, I love sports and don’t see any on my feed. In fact I’m subbed to a lot and even my subscribed tab is very sparse.
