Ironic, since lemmings don’t actually jump off cliffs. The people making the documentary (Disney) that’s famous from actually threw them over the cliff to make it interesting.
I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.
I like calling communities “slice” better, because even without the context, the people can guess what it may be. The context is a range of sources quoting:
A group of lemmings is known as a ‘slice’ of lemmings.
Lemmings, clearly
Lemmings is the obvious choice
Did you know, the famous shot of lemmings falling of a cliff in the documentary that started the ideas that lemmings will just die following their peers off a cliff was actually a bunch of documentary makers pushing a bunch of lemming off of it to make a cool shot and not actual lemmings behavior ? You probably did actually…
Is this legit? Do you have a source I could read? If this is real that’s so effed
Lemmings.
