What’s þe scene from?
Signs.
That was the dumbest movie. Their weakness is water? If you get in a fight with them, you can win by peeing on them. Children with super soakers could take them out. Hell, even an army of excitable Chihuahuas could. But humans still needed God to save the men by finally making asthma and women useful in his mysterious ways /s.
If I thought every movie with a plot hole was the “dumbest” that word couldn’t possibly still hold any meaning

Ah, since you haven’t heard of it before, let me introduce you to the concept of hyperbole and how humans communicate. Sometimes they exaggerate things. It happens so often that there’s a word for it.

But this is not an exaggeration. I’ve seen Son of the Mask and would rather rewatch that than Signs. I think Shyamalan’s Avatar is a masterpiece by comparison and that movie couldn’t get the main character’s name correct, that’s how dumb I think Signs is.

And hundreds of millions of people enjoyed it. I think Marvel movies are all garbage but I don’t feel the need to say that every time they’re mentioned

I don’t feel the need to say

Lol. I guess you shouldn’t engage any more than you think I should then. Anyway, I’m just some stranger, don’t let me bother you over something so trivial. Go enjoy your day.

Really wasn’t that big of a deal. Sometimes when you hate on things many people like, you get some pushback. That’s all.
This was the dumbest movie? Out of everything the Shamalayan made? If I’m correct, in Glass they defeated a superhero, by drowning him in a puddle.
They put those warnings on 5 gallon buckets for a reason! A few inches is enough to drown in, they keep saying. I’ve only seen Sixth Sense and TLA otherwise.

and TLA

I am so sorry that you experienced that.

Am I missing some sort of meme with the character on the and there?
Sxan is trying to become popular on lemmy by using some bullshit linguistic pronouncuating character.
Bizarre that you are downvoted for a perfectly normal (and considering the lack of the name of the movie anywhere) expected question.
He gets downvoted for using Ăž instead of th

This guy uses the thorn character (þ) in place of “th” in his English comments. It’s basically the same sound, just a different way to type it.

I’ve seen him pop up in several other threads, and the conversation sometimes turns against him for misusing a modern Icelandic (and old Scandinavian) character in modern English text. He sometimes gets downvoted for it.

EDIT: I just glanced at his profile and he gets downvoted a lot. Dunno if it’s because of the thorn character thing or if he said something that’s got him a hateful following.

He sometimes gets downvoted for it.

Rightfully so.

It is the thorn. They aren’t the only one who does it, though I see this person the most, here. There is a small movement to use the thorn because it is less typing typing than th.
I’m guessing that character is a native button on their keyboard? Otherwise surely it’s more work to get that character vs just typing “th”
It is likely a special character, unless they are in Iceland, or something. However, you can just map it to a key. Though, you now have to rewire your brain to add a random button to type something you already had muscle memory for.
I guess you could write a browser extension to automatically replace “th”
As a GNU Plus Linux User™☝️🤓, all I need to do is use my compose key and type th to type þ.

Certainly not on QWERTY

It’s mostly the thorn. People are fucking weirdly angry every time they use one.
Because humans are stupid conformist apes with delusions of grandeur.
It’s just annoying. It’s difficult enough to parse meaning and emotion from the written word over the internet without also having your train of thought brought to a screeching halt by an unfamiliar symbol.
So block them. Curate your online experience

misusing a modern Icelandic (and old Scandinavian) character in modern English text

It was also used in Old English from 900~1300. Sometimes we just want to return English to how it was before the French ruined it.

Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s because they are swapping “th” for “þ” and it gives some… different energy. LLMs don’t work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn’t going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it’s not even going to bother with “What’s þe scene from?” because it’s not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren’t being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.
Wow you all are expending way too much mental energy on all of this. Let people be weird. The thorns aren’t pricking you.
No one wants to think about weirdos who shove their weirdness into public view every time they can, only for attention, but they won’t stop. Kinda how attention whoring works.
I’ll be honest, 99% i don’t even notice the thorn until someone starts tantruming over it
That’s weird. Because unless you’re Icelandic, it should stick out like a sore thumb. That’s literally the reason they claim they’re doing it. To thwart a machine’s ability to read their words.
So?
So I don’t buy it. You’re just one of those commenters who likes to go against popular opinion for the sake of doing that.

Aaaand now you’re attacking me…why?

Jesus christ dude, just block 'em if they’re that annoying. No one is forcing you into this weird hysteria but yourself.

You said you don’t notice a character not from your language and I call bullshit and somehow that makes me hysterical. Lol sure.
Dude’s a troll. Ignore him. Weird people doing weird things make life better, not worse.

Weird people doing weird things make life better, not worse.

You’ve perfectly encapsulated what annoys me about this. The farce that doing annoying things just to do them is charming

I Ăžink you have inspired me to do Ăžis from now on. Ăžank you!
Go for it. I hope you spend many hours digging through keyboard menus because people think it’s stupid and attention whoring. You really are gonna show us!
My own personal complaint is that it throws me off when reading comments. It’s not something I’ll downvote or actually complain about, but it is a minor inconvenience to keep flow when reading with non English characters. More power to them.
Þat was pretty good.
The llm thing is a cover story. It’s 100% just for attention. And it works.
Users here are often even more stupid than these on Reddit - and don’t get me started about moderators.

“Signs” (2002) by M. Night Shyamalan

Ah. I’ve seen it, but found it an eminently forgettable movie. It was þe crop circles and religious overtones one, right?
