No I don't think people who use the word "digger" are specifically and purposefully altering the N word and directly referencing it.

By that logic any smaller predator that feeds on small animals is a "cat" and any large predator that feeds on larger animals and/or hunts in packs is a "dog" which is... Not at all how nature works. Foxes are canines that exhibit a lot of classic canine behaviour and very little cat behaviour in top of many behaviours unique to foxes, domestic cats are not actually solitary creatures just solitary hunters hence why they develop colonies, some wolf species are solitary hunters such as the maned wolf, birds of prey also fill the same ecological niche as cats, as do weasels, chimpanzees are also apex pack hunting mammals too but no one would ever say they're running "dog software", heck humans are the ultimate Apex pack hunting predator, does that mean wolves are just running "human software"? Lions and hyenas exhibit completely different behaviours and social structures from both domestic dogs and cats as well as each other, lions also aren't the only large cats that hunt in groups, cheetahs can as well when they form a coalition. It just seems like a dumb way to classify animals as if dogs and cats aren't extremely diverse and complex animals in their own right and instead every member has to be forced into these awkward and inaccurate "hardware vs software" stereotypes.

I mean, if you can find a way to harness it, it sounds like the perfect way to banish enemies to the shadow realm.

Foxes don't share all that many behaviours with cats though, they share more with dogs, so I don't know why people always say this.

What would the D even stand for? 🤔

Those were not the only original definitions of giving by a long shot. Another original definition was to provide, offer, impart, communicate, or pass on something, (hence the phrase "giving off" which has been around for a long time, example: it's giving off radiation), etc. It's not gen Z's fault you don't know all the definitions of giving.

I mean, they're technically calling black people the N word by proxy (it's meant to essentially be white + N word to refer to a white guy pretending to be/acting black). So it seems like a case of "if you're not black you probably shouldn't say it".

They didn't redefine giving, it's literally being used for its original definition. Just add "energy" or "vibes" at the end of the sentence and it clarifies exactly how it's used. If someone sees your outfit and says "It's giving Beyoncé" -> "it's giving Beyoncé energy", your outfit is reminding them of Beyoncé. As in it is providing/offering said Beyoncé-like energy, aka one of the original definitions of giving something.

Over sexist memes that refuse to die? Yes, tbh.

What a garbage meme. Straight out of the worst parts of reddit.

So obviously that means he couldn't possibly ever exercise, because people who lose weight just wake up suddenly skinny and are never still fat at any of the in-between points during which they still get constantly shit on for existing in a shape society disapproves of.
