      Yeah, the OP (fossilesque) posts “neither meme nor science” shit all the time. Also, they’re a mod, and post their totally off topic/not meme posts regardless of complaints and reports.

      Edit:

      In fact, I believe fossilesque changed the rules of this community today or yesterday to allow infographics after I reported a post here. It was only today that I learned this person is also a moderator

        There was a time when every meme in this community felt like I was either learning something and the all the memes were of a spectacular quality. Now it just feels like shit posts mark 2

          “The People” upvote things in this community more than any other community (like by 5 or 6 times the amount of votes) in have seen in my federated feed. Either this is what “The People” want, or there is something else afoot.

          Either way, it’s disappointing

    So some time between 1975 and 2000. If only the graphs had some labels near the relevant part of the data…

    I never understood how “hell” and “damn” are considered forbidden words by christian-conservatives. The stem directly from their own vocabulary, they are all about those categories, yet they don’t want to see them in discourse

      I don’t know for sure, but I believe it’s a context issue.

      There’s nothing wrong with discussing the size and consistency of my bowel movements with my doctor, but it’s probably not OK for me to do that with a stranger on the bus.

      Quebec swear words are almost all Catholicism-derived. The Tabernacle, the Host, the Chalice, the Virgin, etc.

    Given this data, I think I can reasonably predict that lyrics of pop songs in about 20 or 30 years will mostly consist of cursing. Maybe even sooner given my personal impression of pop songs repeating their lines more often each decade.

    Data confirms that it was around the same time Tipper Gore got triggered.

    I find Frank Zappa’s opposition to censorship pretty inspiring and hope this trend continues:

    “The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it’s moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that’s happened during the Regan administration is steering us right down that pipe. […] When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun.”

    What happened to make it peak in the mid 70s level off for a while and then spike in the mid 90s?

    Fucking hell, this damn shit-ass is making us read this bitch-dick piss /s

    Maybe it’s because I listen to some pretty dystopian stuff, but I’m surprised Hell isn’t more popular. Then again, I suppose the billboard hits are usually a bit more bubbly than all that.
