This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

can you blame us.
Fucken A
Among English speaking countries. I doubt you'd beat mine if it was interlingual analysis.
hell fucking yeah brudder 🇱🇷🇲🇪🇲🇾🇲🇾🗽🌭🔫🔫🛢️👮
More, but worse.
Meanwhile we have to act like we don't at work and around lots of idiots who get "offended."
Fucking cunts.
Depends on the workplace. At my engineering workplace I regularly hear someone yell "fuck!" or "shit!" when something goes awry. At all my blue collar jobs people cussed like sailors just as long as customers weren't in earshot.
You're God Damn, Mothr Fuckin' right. Ain't No Shit head, Cock suckin', pussy ass cunts gonna Bastardize Our Record... Dick.
It's a popsci article, so.its probably bullshit.
I'd take it with a pinch of salt:
Linguists in Australia recently analyzed the Global Web-Based English Corpus (GloWbE), a massive database containing over 1.9 billion words from 1.8 million web pages across 340,000 websites in 20 English-speaking countries.
Pure garbage considering much of the internet is US based.
Yet they [bleep] every [bleep] [bleep] those [bleep] 'muricans!
it's only swearing if someone finds it offensive.
shit for brains authority figures would rather i call them poop for brains. doesn't really matter that i'm saying there's 8 pounds of defecate rattling around in their skulls. it matters that i said a no-no word from before the Norman invasion of england in 1066
Misleading title! Sorry MAGAs, the study only looked at English-speakers.
right... because there is no way US tops eastern europe on this one haha
Not even the central Europe, kurva.
Spot on! Menj a búsba!
That bunch of wankpuffins wouldn't know proper swearing if it bit them in the bell end. It's all just motherfucker this and asshole that. The scrote septics have no artistry to their swearing.
Wankpuffin is actually a specific example (given within the paper) of British vulgarity considered in this study.
My bet is that the rantallion that authored this pile of fetulent drivel only looked for language an American would recognise.
The scrote septics have no artistry to their swearing
we've spent the last several decades or more killing artistry, creativity, imagination-- anything that involves doing something different than what we're told to do day in, day out by our owners. shareholders. even what should be the top of the pyramid for creativity--hollywood--is fucking garbage anymore. it's all remakes of shit that's already been done. sometimes already done multiple times. and the population laps it up like hogs at the trough
i fucking hate this place
You ever sit down at home, after a long day of getting shit done and being responsible with work or family, and want to jump into 2 hours of something else entirely new? Or do you do like so many of us and scroll through a streaming catalogue and aspirationally look at the new shows and movies, finding lots of things to watch but nothing that strikes you as being the right thing to watch? Do you ever settle for something good that you know and promise yourself that you will watch something new later? That's why sequels do so well.
People are tired and just want to see something comfortable that they know. Lay off sequels. Fix society, make us all not tired, and you will see more new shit.
i never said remakes were the problem. i never even mentioned sequels. yes, the society that feeds on this garbage is fucked. i'm still going to criticize the garbage, even if it's just a symptom and not the problem
Fuck off, those cunts don't know fucking shit all about god damn swearing, for fucks sake America, you can't even say cunt correctly!
Fuck off you rat assed deep fried dingo dick having fucking cuntholes.
I think it's wild that over here you can say a thousand fucks, but mutter one cunt, and you've crossed the line, but you guys use it for just about everything!
There's not many things that you can't call a cunt here, people are cunts, my dogs a cunt, that trees a cunt, the sun's a massive cunt
But then you've got this cunt here who I love, but that cunt there I can't stand.
Some cunt told that cunt that this other cunt called me a cunt! So fuck that cunt.
We even have a version to call kids.
Get out of here you little cunt!
What are those little cunts doin?
It's also really useful to show urgency
I'm not messing around vs I'm not messing around cunt.
Also for emergencies, some cunts just got hit by a car!
Cunt is the second most versatile word.
The problem is, you guys still think it means that horrible one. Only misogynistic weirdos use it that way.
It's slang for vagina in the US. But so is pussy, and we call people pussies all the time. It's also misogynistic because it means they act like a girl.
So, I don't know why cunt is so shunned.
There are three types of people in the world. Dicks, pussies and arseholes.
FUCK YEAH!
this is just for online discourse and has no bearings on spoken vulgarity
Those silly cunts don't know where I'm from. I'd question the accuracy of it even for online-only discourse.
I would say as someone who has spent significant time in the UK, US, and Australia. That irl, people outside the US swear far more. Maybe USians are taking out their frustrations online since they don’t let themselves do it as much irl?
Well we have to be real careful because if we swear at the wrong person we get another mass shooting. Also that just happens anyway but we don’t like to identify the real reasons for that kind of thing so let’s blame swearing for a while.
I wonder how they know if the post is American or from other English speakers?
Fucking number one
One of the strongest censorships in the western media must have helped with that.
Oh yeah, the best way to get someone to want to do something is to tell them they can't. Put up a "don't jump off this cliff" sign and you'll have them leaping off in droves because fuck that sign.
Well... shit.
Fuck this shit. They don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Using the same word for swearing and having sex helps, I'm sure.
Spaniards have that too
Fuck I love to fuck
