For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Fuck Elon. But also, how do you know what you said when you were 4? My 4 year old says a lot of shit.

I think the chances that his daughter said and did stereotypical gay things when she was four according to a guy who lies all the time are low.

it's pretty easy to know you didn't start using some words until you learned them at a particular age.

How? I have literally no idea when I first learned about the word "fabulous", or most words for what it's worth

I remember contemplating the conservation of mass when I was about 4. Except I didn't know what it was called. My mom gave us a piece of Double Bubble. My sister cut hers in half and declared she had more than me. I distinctly remember thinking how are the two smaller pieces bigger than the one big piece.

i guess maybe it depends on the person. i usually remember the moments when i learn things, including words. at the very least I'm pretty confident with whether i knew a certain word while i was in school, before, or after. and i would think a word like fabulous would be more memorable than usual.

I think you missed the part where he wasn't around when she was four years old. How does he know what she said when he left her to be raised by her mom and nannies?

I have trouble remembering things from highschool. But my younger sibling, they have vivid memories of stuff from pre-school onwards. And I know they're not making it up because, well, I was there and was 5 years older.

And many research has shown that long term memory starts forming at, coincidentally, around 4 years of age.

The mind is a wondrous place, and just because you or I can't imagine it happening doesn't mean it's not possible.
