I got a solid five seconds of laughter out of this and am still fighting a little chuckle.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•New small business owner had a great idea to have word of mouth build his business.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Card my daughter made for me after my vasectomy
20·1 month agoI hope that’s not how they did it.
We worship brands in this country, young man. You call yourself a Tylenol-American or you can’t have any dessert.
Who is this supposed to be? I can’t tell because the face is a normal size.
I think that’s the age I’ll turn next, but I kinda stopped remembering/caring once I hit 30. My advice is to not remember how old you are so that you have to do math to figure it out; that should discourage your friend from being bothered by how old he is. Instead, he can be bothered by the fact that he can never remember his own age. ;P

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•If you're at the gas pump, trying to use some app on your phone to pay for gas at the pump. And it takes you an incredibly long time. Just give up and use your credit cardEnglish
7·3 months agoI’m not one, but there are people who don’t carry a wallet/cards anymore because they can (technically, assuming it works) do what they need with just their phone. I wonder how many people who fiddle with the app are like this and how many just don’t think to give up and use their card.
Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:
- Mom
- Mommy
- Mama
- Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
- Uma
- Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
- Her name (when she’s being particularly deaf)
I read it as GLaDOS first and got a little smile, then went back and reread it as Cave Johnson and laughed.
I desperately want to unsee this and I hate the fact that I can’t.
Well, since he’s clearly unnamed, I’m naming him Speck.
I haven’t looked that good in a photo in ages; I’m glad they got my good side.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore?
13·7 months agoBased on the username and formatting of the title, I’m guessing OP’s native language may be Japanese, where questions are often statement+question word.
Shitsumon desu - It’s a question.
Shitsumon desu ka - Is it a question?
How appropriate to have posted it here. Are you cleaning up the hole place?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach?
1·8 months agoI meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it’s been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.

491·8 months agoMaybe it’s because I’m from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for the disabled
19·10 months agoFuck, I am so sorry people are saying that to you. I can see myself saying it to a close friend as a gallows humor joke, but not with a stranger.
Hugs to you, my friend. You still being around, you not giving up - that is heroic.

Also, toys. You can choose what size you prefer. This works in both same and different sex partnerships. Toys (in conjunction with an observant partner) are awesome. I’ve yet to meet a woman who was uncomfortable with us using toys together but have, unfortunately, encountered men who feel inadequate if toys are involved.
