Quite interesting.

Posting this quote here is pearls to a swine.

That chef is not going to be happy if you continue ordering that way, and it’s been communicated to you.

But but, muh own navel is so important.

Kitchen talk should NEVER reach the customer.

I disagree, but then again culture differs. If someone is being disrespectful to the chef, I think it’s the chef’s right to point that out.

It’s not like customer is somehow more important than the kitchen staff.

It’s their business and I believe they have the right to choose/wish/ask how customers conduct.

Would I have an issue with it? Probably. Would I suck it up? Probably.

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

Tom Scott comes to rescue.

The unmatched power of the sun, even?

I’m pretty happy Telegram is there though. It’s the step in the right direction when we talk about “better internet”. Also never realized it’s that big as it has yet to break through in my country.

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. :)

Onnittelut! :D

It’s a great signoff, though. :P

… And stay hydrated?

I quit smoking. Had too many downsides to be justifiable.

With your mother, usually.

Rarely open protocol.

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.
