Wishful thinking by men if you ask me.
"Men before discovering the prostate:"
"Men after discovering the prostate:"
Re the disclaimer - This might be an old meme, but it's still very light-hearted and can be interpreted in a few different ways.
If either a man or a woman finds this offensive, they are doing so entirely for personal attention and I'd rather "spark a conversation" with a brain-damaged goat than with boring cunts like that 😂
“I’ve said my point and want people to know in advance that if you disagree with me, you are attention-seeking, and I will insult you for your opinion.”
Regardless of what side someone is on in this matter, your lose.
There are better takes. Get one.
Sorry I've just spotted a goat over there that's in the middle of having a stroke
Back in a moment
Cool…. So you’re a troll. It’s always good when the gifts wrap themselves. You e nothing useful to say, so I’m gonna block you.
This is Lemmy incarnate
Yeah… dude even has his sock puppet accounts downvoting. Pathetic.
I'm not some dude's sock puppet, I just tend to downvote comments from people who have giant sticks up their ass and aren't even enjoying it.
So I have a stick up my ass if I call out some clown that insults people before they can even think to disagree with them? How ironic considering the community this was posted in.
You've got a stick up your ass because you insisted on feeling insulted. Take a 100mg chill pill and call me in the morning.
Who’s insulted? I simply think positioning a statement where anyone that disagrees with you is attacked- before they even get a chance to disagree is about as boomer logic as it gets.
I’d have had no problem with the original point, however- I happen to think that saying shit like “you’re automatically a [nonsense insult] if you disagree!” is ridiculous and cringy, so I called it out.
Lastly, I assure you, random people on the internet are incapable of offending me or insulting me.
(Note how I’m not resorting to childish insults because you disagree? No, I’m simply explaining my position.)
I dunno, you sound pretty insulted.
Hilarious that somehow we have gotten to the point that random people on the internet get to tell others how they feel about things.
No, you and him bickering over "trolling" in a meme sub about a boomer meme.
Bazinga
Ahh… see I thought it was about some clown antagonizing people before they could even disagree with their dumb shit.
Guess I was wrong, but in my eyes… That’s about as boomer energy as it gets.
This energy right here. Pressed and filtered lemmy
So then…. What would calling out the “energy” in a comment thread and saying things like “Bazinga” be exactly?
Commenting in a meme sub I'm pretty sure.
Ahhh. Got it. So if you’re commenting in a meme sub, you can say any cringy bullshit you want- but if you call attention to someone for saying dumb shit….
Well… that’s classic lemmy!
Thanks for the clarification. By chance, is this something that can be taught? Or are do you just get to be the cool guy by default?
This! You're really good at it
I mean, it's kind of a tired joke at this point for women to be treated as these complicated, enigmatic creatures when 90% of the communication issues could be solved by, you know, talking to us.
"So what do you like? What do you want to do?"
doesn't even react as if she heard me make a mouth noise
I've tried that enough times to know it doesn't fucking work.
Sure, but men can generally be turned on by a breeze through the window, while they are eating a grape.
The "joke" is that there isn't really any communication needed, for the majority of men. That alone represents the "joke" complexity
Careful… this is “attention-seeking” behavior.
TBH the disclaimer is because I've posted 2-3 memes here that have been removed without message or explanation to me. So, from now on, I add the disclaimer no matter how mild or appropriate/inappropriate the meme may have been for its time.
Yep, totally understand that, not your fault at all; it's the fault of the boring twats with no personality of their own that are determined to be offended on other people's behalf on a daily basis
As a mod of another fun community, I can tell you that people report things just because they don't personally like them, and there are plenty of mods that will remove anything with a few downvotes that get reported. I don't, but plenty do.
Sounds like you're set in your ways.
Sorry old bean, I fell asleep halfway through your comment
Offensive to some people or not, it's still quite funny. This is a joke that transcends time and generations.
Also, it takes a jab at both vanilla genders, so ... tit for tat.
So like before the year 1990, I was a young adult and I had to take a psychological exam. One of the parameters was called masculine/feminine and I scored high on it. The doctor explained it to me thus:
A high score means I don’t have typical narrow interests like most men do. I didn’t understand what he was talking about. He simplified his explanation as “most men only think about huntin and fuckin”. I was in so much disbelief that I have a broader range of interests and subtleties of opinion than other men that I asked all the fellas about when I got back to barracks. Turns out the doc was right, roughly speaking, and that was one of those big moments when I realized I was not like the others.
Well, of course, while they were partying, you studied the blade.
I literally never understood the appeal of watching sports until I happened across a few high level video game streamers. I played sports, but never to any kind of competitive level, and watching it on TV just seemed like a massive boring waste of time. And then, I started seeing people playing games and being challenged and doing a good job and I was like HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO EXCITING I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT I UNDERSTAND IT NOW.
So men have just a single switch or what? Let me guess...women RTX on or off? Fuck this shit brah.
There's also one of those adjustment pots on the main board you get to by sticking a screwdriver in a hole on the back, but people don't tend to mess with that much.
