With quick googling about KOSKELA BRO… which reads on the scoop, it must refer to KOSKELA BROTHERS, which are characters of Remedy’s game series Alan Wake. I also guess the start of the text is SPONSORED BY, bringing the whole message to SPONSORED BY KOSKELA BROTHERS. Yet another joke.

I can read only one word somewhat from the sid. of the scoop which reads KOSKELA. It’s a Finnish last name. Don’t know why it’s there.

Haha, I think it’s from Remedy game studios, the “biggest” game studio in Finland and they sent Larian a award for their own pick for GOTY.

The joke goes a few layers deep. It’s a nod to Finnish sauna tradition by sending them a sauna ladle. (used to throw the water at the hot stones)

Secondary, it seems to be comically large.

Thirdly an the note says, Remedy’s own game was competing for GOTY and got beaten by BG3. Seems like a self-deprecating/humble joke in that regard.

Fourthly, it’s laughably low-effort, like a practical joke.

Edit: Read the letter more closely and it addresses the object as “Sauna scoop”, which is correcter term for it anyway.

Quite interesting.

Posting this quote here is pearls to a swine.

Hey, not cool coming here and flexing with your happiness to us poor poor terminally-online free thinkers. /s

The unmatched power of the sun, even?

Not sure if I’m stepping to a bait, but only insane people would have the need “to act sane”, right?

Do you all actually act sane or is there some nuance I don’t understand?

You’d have to be mentally ill for that to be case, I think.

You have punny showerthoughts. I have mostly existentialist. :)

I certainly can. I was referring to waste of time and question of efficiency.

Ahh the famous 40%.

On a serious note, no harm done. While 80 000 is quite a lot, who’s hurt? The user who is looking with incorrect term? No, he found what he’s looking for. The joker? No, she got the laughs. The organisation? No, it’s not paid work.

Everyone wins. Weird, but not at all harmful.

I agree.

I get that you’re choosing to be literal and choosing to be dumb, but it doesn’t work.

First point could well sign to a thick wallet, which is good enough analogy for wealth. (Also doesn’t need that many fifties until we start talking about thousands. Fits in pocket.)

Second point, if we go by the meaning of “weak ass person”, it makes sense. It encourages not to be that.

Third point is that lyrics are ambiguous, could mean whatever.

Fourth point has a lot wrong. He is not necessarily talking about the comments of the song. Rather he might be talking about other comments he receives. Also afaik the engagement comes from the amount song listened/clicked, not from the amount commented and not from the nature of them. Also not ironically support, rather inadvertenly.

Please do comment back.

Edit: Fixed typo food -> good

While I agree, I’d like to add that it’s not hard to recognize and remember the very active and/or notable posters.

Actually for the fun of it, I’ll name a few on top of my head:

QuentinCallaghan: Sopuli founder and avid commenter.

Ategon: Hot in the tech subs, seems like a really nice fella.

Picard Maneuver: Memelord and legend

Flying Squid: Meme master and commenter

Dessalines: Dev for Lemmy, Jerboa (and the keyboard I use, thanks this is great).

Ruut: Lemmyworld founder.

And some more whose username I can’t recall at the moment.

Also it’d be fun if you commnted some more. :D

Making the most of life doesn’t necessarily mean indulgence. It can mean living a long and meaningful one.

Also in my previous response I already made a point about the connotations, which I feel responds pretty well to this too.

EDIT: typo

I’m inclined to agree

I would definitely argue that it is at least technically correct.

Your example points to a vague resemblance in how it sounds spoken, which has barely nothing to do with the meaning. This much ought to be obvious.

My thought points to an unlikely lesson found in both phrases. That is, both remind to make the most out of life, because inevitable death. As others have pointed out, the connotations just have been formed such that YOLO ends up generally achieving that with recklessness and “Memento Mori” generally with caution and healthy respect for mortality.

However, that does mean that the same lesson is still found in them, which indeed makes them mean pretty much the same thing. Note that I don’t claim them to be synonymous, like a certain comment claims, or interchangeable, which they aren’t.

TL;DR: Your example relies on how it sounds and it is indeed superficial. In my thought the similarity indeed exist in the language and is technically correct.

While I meant what I originally said, this is a great thought! Thanks for the comment!
