He was a racist chud and generally an asshole who thought he was a lot smarter than he was. He was also pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, so I’ll just drop one crab.
Yeah he is pretty low on the fash hierarchy. So my reaction is more like whatever then pure glee
Pure Glee is difficult to handle, it’s too much concentrated campiness. I prefer Lea Michele illiteracy memes
(I’m so funny)
What is it with fuckin libs and their need to rehabilitate pieces of shit after death.
“Adolf Hitler, controversial architect of Germany’s modernization, has passed”
They rehabilitate dead fascists and smear dead leftists. Really says it all about who their friends are.
It’s gonna be so fucking funny when every liberal media outlet rushes to publish their hagiography first when Trump eventually dies
‘He tried to do the right thing’
A monkey throwing its poop at ppls is about as “audacious” as scotty
🎵even tools turn into top blokes after death 🎶
cracking up on the toilet reading this because all i could think about it was “The Dilbert Guy Dilbert Died”
He"s Deadbert now. He’s Deadbert and you’re laughing.
Not Adams
He"s Deadbert now
Dilmuerte
Lmao is this a sign of how cooked my brain is? So I see the news of his passing and my immediate thought is “I need to go check Hexbear because nobody else is going to know enough about why I’m laughing at my phone”
I remember listening to a podcast making fun of some book he wrote about how to fail at everything and still succeed. Like the guy just lied himself to success during an era where you could get a job by farting into a jar.
The fact that so many “comedic entertainment” figures from that time turned out to be chuds just speaks to that. They made it big back when there were no standards and now that no one finds them interesting because we’ve got better shit, they blame “woke” for their lack of relevance instead of doing any sort of self-criticism.
He truly was peak white guy, the whitest guyest anyone could ever be.
You should for sure be lying to your boss all the time, in a vacuum that is good advice
Sounds like Behind the Bastards hahaha
Could’t be, there isn’t an ad in the middle of the comment.
I hadn’t listened in a while, went back and maaaan their sponsors went from like five “skip forward 15 seconds” presses to like TWELVE and my podcast program skips forward more seconds for subsequent presses. I get the need for money but woooooof.
Doesn’t help that The Dollop does the same schtick but funnier.
And with less state department propaganda
His wiKKKipedCIA article is full of little treats to read
In February 2023, Dilbert was dropped by numerous newspapers and its distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication, after Adams called black Americans a “hate group” (…) Adams then relaunched the strip as a webcomic on his locals.com website. Adams died in January 2026 from metastatic prostate cancer at the age of 68.
same paragraph, like it’s cause and effect
In The Religion War (2004), Adams suggests that followers of theistic religions such as Christianity and Islam are subconsciously aware that their beliefs are false, and that this awareness is reflected in their consistently acting as if these religions, and their threats of damnation for sinners, are untrue. In a 2017 interview, Adams said that his books on religion, not Dilbert, would be his ultimate legacy.
lol. this guy was just amazing at bad predictions. no, your legacy is dilbert and maybe some online rants everyone will have forgotten about in three years
On May 19, 2025, Adams said on his daily podcast Real Coffee with Scott Adams that he has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, and that he only has a short time left to live. (…) He noted that taking ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat the cancer did not work.
what a dumbass, steve jobs at least tried to eat fruits
also bravo for observing that people don’t act in accordance with their religious beliefs. something i noticed when i was in elementary school.
steve jobs at least tried to eat fruits
Don’t forget he also bought a house in Alabama so he could try and get onto their organ transplant list
Man thought he could fix systemic spread of cancer by replacing all his organs
Man thought he could fix systemic spread of cancer by replacing all his organs
that’s like trying to fix a rotten personality by replacing all the people in his life… so symbolic
I’m not saying he’s worth it, but he can have one dancing crab, as a treat.
When Charlie Kirk died, I had genuine childlike joy.
When Tim Cain died, I at least got a sensible chuckle from it.
When I read that Scott Adams died, I just switched back to this tab to continue reading it instead before coming back to the thread two hours later to post this comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costermonger
Didn’t even watch the video or search to see if there’s some news article about it. Victorian fruit vendors are so much more interesting. Look at this shit:
They became known for their melodic sales patter, poems, and chants, which they used to attract attention. Both the sound and appearance of costermongers contributed to a distinctive street life that characterised London, Paris, and other large European cities, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their loud sing-song cries became part of the fabric of street life in large cities in Britain and Europe. Costermongers exhibited their membership in the coster community through dress, especially the large neckerchief, known as a kingsman. Their hostility to police was legendary. Their distinctive culture and appearance led to considerable appeal as subject-matter for artists, dramatists, comedians, writers and musicians. The cheeky costermonger was a stock character in Victorian music hall shows.
Street vendors have zero cultural presence in the modern west. I can’t associate them with anything apart from street food and pirated movies. No persona, no ideological identity, they’re just Maria the taco truck owner selling the taco itself. Street life must have been so much more vibrant back then.
edit: Even in other countries with more street vendors. Only Japan kind of comes close to something like that, but most of the Japanese street vendors I saw didn’t dress in the stereotypical way unless it was during a festival.
Ackshually, Fallout designer Tim Cain is still alive, you must be thinking of the sex pest chud Herman Cain.Even better, I already forgot his name. Weirdly enough I only ever saw it once in person, as a bumper sticker on the back of a heavily damaged 1990s minivan owned by a grocery store worker in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I always wondered why they were a Herman Cain guy. No other right wing bumper stickers on it, just a Herman Cain presidential campaign one.
In your defense, there’s also Dean Cain, the former Superman dude who became a maga chud who blabs about ICE and god
Too many of them
I just assume anyone named after a biblical brother-murderer is going to be a bad guy unless they’re Michael Caine, and even then I only assume he’s wholesome because he has a cartoon accent.
c/parenting name your sons “David”,
Goliath is winning
What about kane from CNC? He seems ok
Falls under the Michael Caine exception where a different spelling gives you the benefit of the doubt until proven to be biblically-accurate.
Michael Caine served in the Korean war, wants mandatory conscription, and less tax for the rich, he even describes himself as a Tory.
He is an asshole through and through
Well shit. The Law of Cain is scientifically proven.
You mean game dev Youtuber Tim Cain.
capital always seeks to bleach out the color and joy of life because homogeneity is easier to manage and therefore more profitable
I love to get all of my groceries from the windowless panopticon where the entire layout is meant to trick my brain into wanting the things that would be rare to a hunter-gatherer.
I could get them from the poet or musician who runs their own business, but instead I get them from the minimum wage workers who can’t afford to shop there under the watchful eye of some Kyle Rittenhouse dipshit.
I could have streets full of independent merchants singing their artisan wares, but I get billboards and spam emails designed by psychologists to prey on my insecurities that transfer all of the money I spend out of the local economy.
You’ve said it so poetically. I don’t want to start some long discussion but there is a difference between lower forms of life like worms and higher forms of life like cows and humans in that we higher forms have free time. We play. We imagine and romp. Some of us like humans go even higher! We use our free brain time to think up languages! Music! Space-based telescopes and vaccines! It’s really cool. And capitalism takes us and reduces us to a monad, a cog in a machine, and we’re back to the lower order. Now we do the thing until we die, like the worm turning the earth until they die on the job, conveniently in a hole.
Shit sucks
He will finally be able to do some good. By being worm food.
Nah, not really – he dosed himself with too much ivermectin beforehand
True, that is specially made to be the opposite of worm food
Hunted??
Republicans are being hunted for their prostates.
the version of Biden that only exists in deranged chud fantasies is so goddamn cool I wish he was real
Some are saying the last thing he did was buy into his brother Eric Adams’s crypto scam and lost all of his fortune 30 minutes later when the rug was pulled.
Scott saw the last name on the coin and just assumed it was part of his DilEmpire
And his final act was to jump in line for cancer treatment, possibly dooming someone else in the process.
It is true that virtually all of his predictions were wrong. But he was right about one thing: his death was unavoidable. And now he will forever “get the hell away from Black people”, following his own advice. You gotta hand it to him, he did what he said he would, eventually, if you squint. Though, his last-minute conversion to Christianity might subvert even that.
Dilbert has said the Shaha (الشَّهَادَةُ) in the moment before his death and has ascended.
Though, his last-minute conversion to Christianity might subvert even that.
he wasn’t Christian? Not that would make a difference in the afterlife.
In the linked video, his final message states that he converted due to the cost-benefit ratio and also to satisfy his Christian friends.
Lol, I grew up Christian. There was a fairly common belief that people that did this were not true believers and that god would see through their lie. (Not that all death bed conversions were invalid to be clear, just ones done for the reason of living unchristian, then still getting the reward, while still not believing.)
god would see through their lie
Yeah if you’re doing it for social pressure that makes sense but if you’re like “maybe there’s an off chance this omniscient God thing is real” it seems fairly pointless
It’s so funny when militant atheists find religion when they get old and actually start thinking about death.
Im a militant atheist who can’t stop thinking about death. Too bad the terror of the unknowable void isn’t going to make me believe in shit I know isn’t real
Im a militant atheist
No such thing, just admit you’re an anti-theist pls. You cant be militantly indifferent to something lol
🙄
You certainly can militantly oppose belief in the supernatural. Atheism doesn’t mean indifference, it describes a lack of belief in any god. How strongly one feels about atheism isn’t contained within the word atheism.
Anyway it’s splitting hairs because anti-theism is good and correct
Slimy worm till the end. Huh.
Sounds like it was pure social pressure. Otherwise he would have just cited the basardized version of Descartes’ argument religious people keep vomiting out.
Pascal?
Oh right it was Pascal’s Wager. Hmm maybe it wasn’t a bastardized retelling.
Descartes might’ve had something a but more nuanced.
I mean if he was a frothing protestant evangelical then it would lol. They straight up will tell you you could be a literal Demon incarnated in human skin for your entire life but the moment you say
“sowwy fwor bwing a mweenie supply side jesus” with your literal dying breath you get a free ticket into heaven.Yeah that’s what I was taught growing up. “Literally all that determines whether you get into Heaven and Hell is whether or not you are in a state of having accepted Jesus at the moment of your death.”
At least the Calvinists and the Catholics have more qualifiers for getting a ticket to your heavenly slice of pie in the sky, shit.
I thought catholics were basically like that except if you’re a death bed convert you might have to spend some time in the purgatory remedial class before they let you into heaven
Papists are a faith plus works = good sort of deal. Like an internal commitment to being a good little Christian can only be cultivated by actually putting in the material work of being a good little Christian, kind of like how communists say theory without practice is baseless in reality.
I think the deathbed conversion part may be an exception because if you genuinely get hit with the feelies but are no longer able-bodied, it’d be pretty unfair to get the door slammed in your face on your way out and not have a chance of at least bumbling through purgatory until you figure things out. Kinda goes with the story of the good thief that got nailed to the cross with Jesus and says “damn, I really fucked up, think they’ll let me in?” And getting hit with a “sure, bud” before he died.
Comrade Alaskaball, why do you have a scarlet A next to your name?
we brand our admins so they can’t hide their shame
Moo 🐄
It’s a lemmy symbol for “aubergine” because I am an aubergine enjoyer
Gross
spoiler
Fr*nch
fine, does brinjal work?
I thought he was lying about being so sick. I applaud his commitment to the bit.
Honestly, right there with you. When I first heard his announcement I thought “nope, this is something he’s doing to get himself out there more.”
Yeah and his announcement was like the day after biden announced the same diagnosis, so it definitely seemed like he was just butting into a conversation to one up everybody lol
The very worst thing about his death is he proved me wrong. Fucker. But he is actually dead so there is that.
