Any time someone uses the terms “alpha”, “beta”, or “sigma” unironically when referring to a person, I immediately write them off as a braindead waste of oxygen.

I’m not even religious, and I’m praying tiktok finally gets banned.

RogueBanana,

Feel the same way but why did you mention religious in particular? Do they have something against tiktok or something? I hate it for a bunch of reasons but I don’t see anything that could be particularly religious.

niske,

Probably because they used ”praying” which is quite directly connected to religions.

enkille,

Probably the “praying” part

RogueBanana,

Ah ofc I would miss the super obvious one…

Ashen,

Hahah, you’re not alone! I made the same mistake.

Auzy,

Definitely a hacked/fake account lol

On an unrelated note, nothing screams dominance more than someone who gets their lifeprotips from a guy who needs to abuse women to get them to listen to him, and got arrested by the police. Sure seems the police are the alphas in this case lol.

And in the US, E Jean Carrol seems to have shown “President” Trump who is really in charge too

FiniteBanjo,

Props to the judge who reminded the jury in the defamation case that it was already established fact that Trump had raped E Jean Carrol as were the findings from a previous case, and to disregard Trump’s attorneys who claimed otherwise.

Auzy,

The funny thing is that it seemed trump repeated his bs on the weekend.

So. He’s likely to get yet another lawsuit

OKRainbowKid,

I believe he’s into humiliation.

Actually it turns out its a myth that there are alpha wolves at all. Makes this even better. www.sciencenorway.no/ulv/…/1850514

cybersandwich,

Lol you get the joke! 7 points for gryffindor

Karyoplasma,

That is an oddly specific amount of gryffindor points.

FiniteBanjo, (edited )

Astute observation! Minus 12 points to Slytherin!

Tar_alcaran,

I think that’s exactly what the meme is about

If you have to tell people you’re an alpha, you’re not.

madcaesar,

There are no human alphas. Without each other we’re all weak ass bitches. Just look at the series “Alone”. Even the most rugged outdoorsmen absolutely get fucked hard when they are alone.

We’re a social species. Our strength is our cooperation. Anyone who thinks he’s above the rest kicking ass all alone is just a moron.

GBU_28, (edited )

Not joining the whole alpha thing but where does alpha get described as lone?

Meme Alphas are purported to be top dog but they still run with a pack

captainlezbian,

True. Though I’ll add, none of these people actually are leaders in their friend group or community. They think that being an aggressive ahole makes them a leader when real leadership tends to be about gently convincing people that they want to do what you want done or that they should do it anyways

@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

Stop your honking, Nancy. I know. I was calling people who claim to be alpha, “weak ass bitches.”

There’s no wolf alphas in nature neither. It’s an old and debunked theory based on studying captive wolves.

scientificamerican.com/…/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a…

Voroxpete,

To be absolutely clear to anyone who hasn’t read about this; it was debunked by the same guy who came up with it in the first place!

The dude studied wolves in captivity, drew conclusions about their behaviour, then applied those studies to wolves in the wild and discovered that he’d got it all wrong. The behaviours that he observed in captive wolves were all stress responses.

caseyweederman,

To be fair, the alpha male thing in humanity is also a stress response.

fsxylo,

Well then I’m alpha as fuck.

Agrivar,

So, what I’m hearing is that there are human alpha males… but only in prisons. That checks out.

OutlierBlue,

No no you’ve got it backwards. Those are just stress responses. Human alphas do exist but you have to put them in the wild with a hungry pack of wolves.

captainlezbian,

Because he’s a good scientist. He followed the evidence, ran a different experiment to test his findings, and followed the evidence again.

Voroxpete,

Absolutely. He had the courage to question his own assumptions when they were challenged by new evidence. Everyone could stand to learn from him.

I found this too be quite interesting:

Toxoplasmosis and Wolves

To me, this makes all the “I’m an alpha, like a wolf” bumble even funnier. Nah, you’re just a cat person with poop on the brain.

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

That is an interesting article, thanks for sharing!

xor,

i once ended a date by telling her alpha doesn’t make sense in humans and she wasn’t “alphaing” the conversation by talking more than me…
she abruptly beta-ed the fuck out of there.

captainlezbian,

Every time I see people call themselves an alpha I immediately think they’re a/b/o role playing on main. Mind you that kink also involves misunderstanding wolves, but kink is rarely based on reality

Karyoplasma, (edited )

It’s alpha as in alpha-stage software. Unfit for production.

sigmaklimgrindset,

Please god please don’t bring a/b/o here, Lemmy was my safe space 😭

out of context this looks like you're afraid of blood groups, in context I agree

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What’s a/b/o role playing?

captainlezbian,

So here’s an entertaining video that will give the basics. But it’s a kink based around the alpha wolf idea

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If this is an hour long video explaining wolf porn then we might have a different view on ‘entertaining’

captainlezbian,

It’s a video explaining a lawsuit over wolf porn copyrights. It’s entertaining by batshit value

force,

if i had to take a guess, alpha beta omega?

loudWaterEnjoyer,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

And what is that supposed to mean?

force,

no idea

The_Lopen,

Definitely don’t go looking up anything like “Omegaverse”.
