There's a quote that came from ICQ's heyday that I had in mind when I wrote that:

"The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents."

We need to revise that for Lemmy.

"Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we've got a few women who were born women, and also there's a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that's all cool with most of us."

It's a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.

You forgot the FBI agents.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 5 months ago

We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.

"Wow, how cool is it that she's 13 and already works for the FBI! "

What was this from? I know the reference but can't place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I'm trying to be social here.

Man, I don't know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90's...

and now I'm turning to dust. haha

Thanks for being social!!!
