There are some people in here who are weirdly obsessed with risking a yeast infection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

But bro

You could get yourself a yeast infection with 3000 year old yeast

I'm the model of a cucumber Egyptian

Evidently it really was probably a cucumber? http://artisticlicenseorwhyitrustnoone.blogspot.com/2022/11/bullshit-memes-8-ancient-egyptian.html?m=1

tl;dr - was found with other model food, probably meant to sustain someone in the afterlife

Wakes up in the afterlife only to bite into fake food, that's gotta suck.

"sustain"

Let me guess. A model carrot, squash was there also. And a drawing of a farmer with his shirt off.

Sustain someone with the ability to have a little sexy time in the afterlife? I like this.

Perhaps it was located next to a pair of model tomatoes

"Model cucumber? Hell, nah, son. That there's a petrified hunk 'a' dooky."

"Ah man, I ate off that thing!"

The Egyptians weren't always shy, but there do appear to be traces of green paint.

Where are the ‘?’ marks. Is this how people write now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Grammar is made up

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago

Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking "Really?". The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that they're wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking "Really?". The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.

OOP is using the full stop at the end of his "questons" to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.

It's how people spoke in May of 2021. It was a different time.

It's a unicode emoji of a cucumber that your device apparently doesn't support
