The supposed tendency of lemmings to run blindly off cliffs is greatly exaggerated, too, and based on a ‘documentary’ where they were pushed off one by a human. A tiny group of documentarians abused some lemmings and ruined their reputation forever.
tldr I’m proud to be a lemming :) Let’s rejuvenate the reputation of lemmings the animal.
That said, I did enjoy the old “Lemmings” video game, featuring rather human-shaped lemmings that you had to prevent from falling to their deaths.
There is a similar game that recently came out called Humanity. It’s missing a lot of the charm of the old Lemmings, but it’s spiritually in the right place.
Conservative ego is so easy to make a plaything of. What a bunch of blind lemmings.
But I thought we here on Lemmy are the Lemmings? :/

We are all Lemmings on this blessed day!
I think my brain cheated for vocabulary without me knowing.
