Any of these are acceptable responses to being told you have pretty eyes.

If you use number 4, you should prepare thyself for what comes next.

There's a TV show about this... "Strange Planet" (TV too)

Holy shit...it is a show....wild

I actually met my wife because I commented on her ankles. At a bar, she went the wrong way and did a 180. I saw how beautiful she was, wanted to take a shot, mentally went down the list of appropriate body parts to comment on without coming off creepy or thirsty, and shouted, "Nice ankles."

Don't knock it folks.

Deleted scenes from Eye of Argon?

I'm already swooning.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Time to start gooning

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

Not in front of my tooning!

Well, I got arrested. I hope you're happy...

That last one has me stumped.. Their hands look like they're good at sprinting from a standstill? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What does toque have to do with sprinting from a standstill? Torque of more like, capacity to put out mechanical energy. I read this as "your arms look capable of lifting heavy weights".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I first learned the word in relation to cars where torque plays a big part in acceleration 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. Torque (at the wheel) multiplied by the wheel radius will give the force that the car exerts on the ground, parallel to the ground. That will finally determine the acceleration of the car.

Though from what I remember, torque - as given with a car's information - is measured at the flywheel, so there's more calculations you will have to do to get the correct answer.

Whereas the torque of my limbs are measured at the fly of my pants, am I right? Up top!

(I am not right)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

It looks like they have strong hands. Based on this joke I think.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they only talked about torque and nothing about sprinting.

In case you learned about torque from a gearhead, torque is essentially a measure for the rotational effect of force around a fulcrum. So, since most (all ?) of our limb motions are turning around some pivot point (joints), we can measure torque for all of those.

Now I realise how hard it was for them to define torque to me as a child.

Yeah, English isn't my first language and the first time I heard the word was watching Top Gear as an adult a decade or two ago, so that's my most immediate association 😄

It means their limbs look strong (they look fit)

Fun fact tapairs have prehensile cocks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dolphins do too. Ducks have ones that are shaped like a corkscrew.

So do human penises.

That's why they're mushroom shaped

Did you also know that female hyenas have cocks? And that male hyenas get boners as a sign of submission, which other hyenas acknowledge by licking it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Fair 😁
