"I'm Chris Hansen and I need you to take a seat right over there."

Accidental compliment to a bunch of forty-somethings.

I hate how there's always some bizarre new term people are using for weird and bad reasons. "Foid". I can guess it's some weird demeaning term for women but still what the fucking fuck.

Can't speak to every state, but over here Firearm Owners Identification cards are 9-years expired when they turn 19

It's short for "Femoid", which is itself short for "Feminine humanoid".

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. Bizarre all around. "Femoid" was too long for these pricks.

Cant have words longer than their penis

No, it was too respectful towards women.

Soon enough it’ll get shorted again to “fud” or “fu”. The devolution of man

When does one become a crone? Or is that for specifically when you forsake society to live in the wilds?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

When you Luigi assholes like this, but with herbs and magic. Bonus points if you can poison with mushrooms, as that thematically fits both crones and Luigi.

When they first get pubes according to these fucking weirdos.

Crone is more about personality

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Be the Crone your heart wants you to be. Pointing a shaking finger while muttering at your enemies helps

Get outta my swamp you kids!

FBI needs to pay attention to that man's search history...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

Thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if he already isn't allowed within 50 miles of a school.

People misspelling 'woman' annoys the hell out of me. It's literally 'man' prefixed by 'wo'. I don't know what bizarre process could lead to using 'women' instead. And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I feel like this image has more to be upset about than misnumbering the word woman.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

The difference is that one is singular and one is plural. "Theres a group of women" and "Theres a singlular woman"

People do often get the usage wrong but its not being misspelled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

It's not, it's a mistake I've seen plenty of normal people do, including women.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

I recall a particular time period in early-ish smartphone history when the stupid thing tried to correct every instance of woman in my emails to "roman" for some weird reason so that one might just be auto-correct gone stupid again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

You misspelled Alfas.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

Nah, it's not that deep--tons of men and women make this particular mistake (writing "women" when intending to use the singular "woman") for some bizarre reason. I've observed this phenomenon for well over a decade. Notably, I've never really seen someone write "woman" when they mean "women", only the other direction. And never with man/men at all. Very odd, specific error.

Maybe it's a "should of"-type mistake, I can only guess. But what I know for sure is that it's a very common mistake, and almost certainly unintentional.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

This type of thing sometimes happens to me when I'm writing a comment on my phone. The using a wrong version of a word, not the rampant misogyny. Its usually from changing how I wanted to structure the sentence, like changing tense or deciding to make something singular or plural, and not noticing that I missed updating one of the words.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That and "should of" should be punishable by getting your hand cut off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Read: "head cut off" and agreed. Sry for that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I'd rather stub my toe then see such simple mistakes
