    I wish I had the knowledge and skill set to create an all encompassesing filter that purged all items involving people like Elon and trump. With the caveat that I get a dozen notifications for the headline “X gets sentenced to Y years behind bars.”

      I remember yearrrsss ago, when I still used Facebook, there was a filter where it would replace all baby pictures you could care less seeing with dogs or cats. It would definitely be very popular if you could do this instead.

        Completely off topic. Shouldn’t it be “couldn’t care less” as there is no possible way for you to care less than you do about the topic. Over “could care less” stating that you do care and you could actually care less, we don’t know how much you currently care, but we can assume it’s more than 0.

        Not trying to be pedantic, generally interested in the right phrasing as I’ve heard both and that’s how I personally interrupt it.

          Honestly, I don’t know lol. I didn’t put a lot of thought into it. You are probably right.

          It is correctly spoken as “couldn’t care less” but dumbasses who don’t think about what words mean changed it to “could care less” to the point that this is basically the idiom, as idiotic and nonsensical as it is.

          People get really balled up about that. It’s funny to me. I think:

          • Couldn’t care less <- Absolutely lowest level of care
          • Could care less <- It’s possible to care less, but I still don’t care much
