My very own meme!

Thatβs not even the funniest part. The purpose of saying cheese is to make the photo subject smile. If they just rolled with queso then theyβd be making an o shape with their lips when the photo is snapped.
Exactly. A fail at all levels, but I kind of knew that. It was intended as something funny, but 'I speak cheese" is just weird.
BTW, when I explained they told me the word they use in Cuba to make a smile face. I've forgotten it.
Edit: I just remembered, it was Whiskey!
I was new to lemmy and on a thread about apple speech to text. Made a comment about blind faith to a brand. Well after a few comments poking fun at mine I came to realize I was on a BLIND INSTANCE! No wonder there were such strong opinions about speech to text. After recovering from the initial horror of what I said, I explained what happened and apologized. We all had a good laugh and they invited me to stay and learn more about blind people which I did. Same name as this account but I think .world if you wanted to find the thread.
Mad props for apologizing and all. It's not easy sometimes, doing on the internet the same thing you would do in person -in this case make amends. Although come to think of it... in a room full of blind people, perhaps I would just have fled silently.
Well, that hopefully made them smile!
Can't be bothered to translate it all. In short, a fly flew into my nose and dragged an ungodly amount of snot out with it. With narry a handkerchief in sight.
My best friend described it as: "I thought your brain was running out!"
