[still niche]

[slate veldt]

[boreal ermine]

Also guys not to flex but I think this off topic post is officially the most chatted post

[slate veldt]

its freeing to shit in any bathroom

[still niche]

thats what u get when you have the two biggest yappers on the server in 1 thread

[boreal ermine]

LMFAO

[slate veldt]

😭

[boreal ermine]

🧍🏻‍♀️

[slate veldt]

a quarter of it is just talking about cleaniess

[boreal ermine]

Hot take what’s the fun in being on a multiplayer server if u don’t multiplayer it up!!!!

[slate veldt]

hot take: girls dont fart

[boreal ermine]

Kim k said she doesn’t fart

[still niche]

i wish

[boreal ermine]

It just comes out in burps ig idfk

Lowk having wrank ass burps would be worse

[still niche]

maybe i dont wish

[stone egret]

I'm gonna make this take even hotter: The normalization of DNI lists (and also lists of triggers and stuff) is actively putting people in more danger. It's like handing people a list saying "here's all the things that will upset me, please do not use it for evil" with 0 control over the type of people who see the list. You're giving bigots extra ammunition to hurt you

[rugged fern]

Pasta is way better than rice. As a native potato eater I’m the only one that is unbiased in this area.

[solar lotus]

depends what pasta you eat also

wholewheat is way better than basically any other type

white pasta has (more) refined carbs which are quick release iirc so your blood pressure spikes and stuff

and also white pasta feels more bloaty

[stone egret]

You sound fun at parties

[solar lotus]

I am 💓

[worn onyx]

NO I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY

Also goated Zuko PFP

[stone egret]

Thank you, I got him for Christmas a few years back and keep him year-round lol

[stone egret]

It's like how the current younger generation on tumblr also made it a thing to put all kinds of info in your bio. Like ofc you can throw a pronoun in there so people know how to refer to you but some of these kids are legit doxxing themselves

[worn onyx]

I can’t believe “maybe you shouldn’t TELL strangers exactly what upsets you” is a hot take

I joined tumblr in 2022 but the only things I ever had on my blog in the bio section were “she/her, minor” because I thought that was all I needed

Now I actually don’t have anything there no pronouns nothing I just didn’t really care

[stone egret]

I do think it's smart to indicate you're a minor or an adult, but people definitely don't need so much info that you have to put it in a separate link or something

[stone egret]

I have been there since like 2013 when I barely even spoke English lol

[worn onyx]

Yeah I don’t know when the last time is that a read a carrd 💀

I ain’t reading allat

[stone egret]

I see the link and I go "oh cool, I'm just gonna skip this"

[worn onyx]

I’m no longer a wee minor but the only things I post on my blog are AU-related fandom stuff that 5 or so people consistently interact with

I’m at peace with my small but dedicated community

[stone egret]

I used to be an avid reblogger where I barely even posted anything on my own, didn't even add tags or anything and now I barely even reblog stuff

This is also my third account since joining

I stopped interacting with a lot of stuff when I realized every single fandom has their crazies and I don't wanna see all that drama

[worn onyx]

Since the fandom I’m in had its show end it got way more chill, all the annoying people ran to the next thing

[stone egret]

My bestie is in basically all the same fandoms I'm in (she introduced me to some) so if I wanna yap I just go yap at her lol

I am a big fan of don't like don't read and I hate that people are trying to get rid of that mindset

[slate veldt]

this is a hot take now

[spring sluice]

nah pasta is ckear

[crimson shell]

i did not now that wow

[crimson shell]

rice is more versitile

want some soup? out irce in it

burrito? rice

little snack? rice

dessert? rice pudding

[lament bloom]

Mike and Ike’s and Almond Joys are the best candy and if you don’t even like them, you don’t have a soul

[boreal ermine]

U would have been my best friend back in my trick or treat trading days

[still niche]

I've never seen either or had them before

[crimson shell]

Don’t really have mike and Ike’s that much but almond joys are great

Also love nerds gummies

[boreal ermine]

ive never had a nerd gummie cluster whatever thing but ive heard they were the comback of nerds

[ornate quiver]

rice noodles too

rice noodles + sesame oil is basically cheat code for cooking

[solar lotus]

I've tried them and they're scary

So so sweet I can feel my teeth screaming

[winged sun]

Sometimes, stinky things are nice to smell

[lament bloom]

We got a fart sniffer over here

[winged sun]

🧍‍♀️

[sharp dock]

something tells me you've tried durian before

[winged sun]

I love the smell of gasoline and a freshly finished dry wall 😔 also my cats tummy

[boreal ermine]

I huff my cat heavyyy

She smells so good

Like fresh laundry

[solar lotus]

cats smell nice always

even if they be rolling around in dirt they sometimes still smell nice

[slate veldt]

real

i need to sniff my cats daily

its like sniffing crack

need my daily hit

daily cat huff

[spring sluice]

Damn surely they smell of tuna and other shit from them licking themselves

[boreal ermine]

another hot take

bhad bhabie got good music idc idcccc

gucci flip flops IS unironically played

[lament bloom]

Imma just sit this one out

[winged sun]

be careful, the baddies music are heavily hated on

[winged sun]

and i dont know how to explain this but my cat smells fresh like laundry 🌸

[spring sluice]

Tbf ive only ever had a dog and he used to always smell of crap

[winged sun]

maybe he needed a bath , friend

[spring sluice]

Uhh he’s dead now but we used to bath him like once a week he just always managed to smell of wet dog or dead animal

[solar lotus]

see dogs always smell of dog

cats smell like nice things

worlds biggest mysteries

[stone egret]

Hot take about dogs: Dog people are super annoying when they anthropomorphize dogs all the fucking time. No this dog isn't happy because he's getting told he's being adopted, someone is just talking to him in a happy high-pitched voice and he knows that means fun things (food or play). Stop attributing human qualities to animal ffs.

[spring sluice]

Haha fr same with all animals tbf

[boreal ermine]

Grapefruits are dishusting

[spring sluice]

YES THERE SO SOUR AND UNAPPEALING

[pallid gale]

All I think of is that Drake Josh episode with the robber who eats the grapefruit

[still niche]

I've never had grapefruit, i just know some ppl get it prescribed to them by doctors for something

[silver grove]

i big time agree with this

[lusty widget]

Grapes in general are lowkey overated

[silver grove]

i big time disagree with this

[lusty widget]

i think if they cut down on the juice they would be goated

i’m a huge raisin fan tho

[boreal ermine]

now u lost me

i was tracking with u for a sec....

RAISINS???

orange juice is GRODYYY

maybe ive said that before idc

[lusty widget]

Raisins are goated bro

it’s like edibal grapes

[still niche]

green grapes > purple grapes

[spring sluice]

I love them tbf

[stone egret]

Do you.... Do you think grapes and grapefruit are the same thing....?

[lusty widget]

No, but grapefruit reminded me of grapes

[silver grove]

Try frozen grapes they are a game changer

[solid moss]

ht: Google and Microsoft and other big tech companies are more private than other tech companies

[simple mason]

and other big tech companies are more private than other tech companies
What???

[solid moss]

think of it this way
msft and google are at least honest that they strip you of all of your data
there is no chance of the rug being taken out of you

with like these privacy focused stuff there is no way to make revenue esp the closed-source ones like ddg so they could just be doing it without discolsing it or disclose it in the future when they wanna make money

[crimson shell]

Ruffles are a top 3 chip

[boreal ermine]

these r the best

[still niche]

i dont thnk ive ever seen those

[still niche]

miss vickie's all dressed and PC all dressed are better than ruffles all dressed

ruffles is better than lays but that's about it i think

definately not top 3

old dutch better too

[ornate quiver]

ruffles are garbage

[pallid gale]

Kettle chips only chips worth eating

Any brand

[ornate quiver]

cape cod chips are good too

[pallid gale]

Ya those are kettle cooked

🤤

[undone lake]

https://tenor.com/view/kettle-cooked-chips-presidents-choice-jalapeno-chips-chips-potato-chips-gif-15384719906279019187

[solid moss]

lays/walkers >

[solar lotus]

but have you tried golden wonder...

I'd rank them above lays

[sharp dock]

i think miss vickies is pretty good too

esp the bbq flavoured ones

[boreal ermine]

using silk touch as ur main pickaxe is weeeird

[ornate quiver]

using fortune as your main pickaxe is weird

picking up stone > picking up cobble

[rugged fern]

I destroy ender chests when I carry fortune instead of silk touch.

[boreal ermine]

u can pick up ender chests??

[crimson shell]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[boreal ermine]

its a joke its a joke ;O

[lament bloom]

Quick, everyone bully her

[still niche]

I'll be weird then, it's all I got

[still niche]

no its a hot take

[boreal ermine]

this is a safe space!!!

[rapid basin]

Avatar ain't a good franchise

[boreal ermine]

waiting 5 years for a movie aint worth it

[rapid basin]

Mid plot

[simple mason]

Which one?

[rapid basin]

the blue fuckers

[simple mason]

Good

[lament bloom]

Twin sized beds are bullshit and should be renamed. I’m like 3 feet tall and my feet hang off this fuckin thing, can’t even lay in the yearner or my knee hangs off the side of this mf. How the fuck is this bed supposed to fit TWINS??? It can’t. It won’t. It’s bullshit and I hate it. It needs not only a new name, but to cease existing

[spring sluice]

Damn still better than a single though as im 6’0 and touch both ends pretty much its well uncomfortable

[boreal ermine]

flying with ur elytra shouldnt trigger sculk sensors/wardens

[spring sluice]

Nah cuz it makes a distinctive swooshing sound

[crimson shell]

Sneaking while flying shouldn’t trigger them

[woven plinth]

Nah cuz it makes a distinctive swooshing sound

[crimson shell]

having good ball knowledge should make you immune to it tho

[boreal ermine]

Movie theaters suck

I’d rather wait 6 months or a year if it means I can just stream a movie at home

My ex bf worked at a movie theater and the stories he told me ruined it

[crimson shell]

theaters have reclining seats

i wouldnt say suck but its only really nice going every once in a while

[pallid gale]

I’ve been to a theater where they serve you food during it

And you can order from your seat

That was pretty good

[crimson shell]

where

[boreal ermine]

Now that’ssss fire

[craggy ember]

Latinx is lowkey racist af
It's supposed to gender neutral but here's a list of issues

1. People who speak spanish genuinely can't pronounce the word easily
2. This word isn't even spanish in origin
3. The people that this word was made for are english speakers
4. Latin is the actual gender neutral way of saying Latino/Latina. Tho not standardized as far as I'm aware it is fully pronouncable for spanish speakers and tho not perfectly it aligns a bit better with how spanish works as a language as far as I'm aware

[slate veldt]

YES

AS A HISPANIC/LATINA YES BRO

oh my god i had latinx so bad

[craggy ember]

Yess

Real

I cannot say La twinks with a straight face

[slate veldt]

bro i just say latin + x

[craggy ember]

I mean when speaking spanish

[slate veldt]

😭

[craggy ember]

Fuck idk how yo spell x in spanish

Equz

Iquiz

Idfk

[slate veldt]

yeah we already have latin idk why people need latinx

[craggy ember]

Frr

[slate veldt]

its latin america for a reason bruh😭

[craggy ember]

Fr

Not to mention it wasn't even made in a spanish speaking country

[slate veldt]

yeah

😖

[stone egret]

I still don't know if it's pronounced Latin-ex or Latinks so I always just say "Latin Americans" or whatever lmao

[slate veldt]

yeah😭

[craggy ember]

There's two ways

Latin equiz
or
Latinx

Both are not easy to say in spanish tbh

[stone egret]

Also it feels like people wanted to find a cool and woke way to make Latina/Latino gender neutral so they just went "lets make it vaguely AAVE" ngl

[craggy ember]

Aave?

[stone egret]

(but that's based on sheer vibes I'm getting as a white non-American so I could be way off)

[stone egret]

African American Vernacular English

[craggy ember]

Ohhhh

Lowkey I kinda see it

[boreal ermine]

Yes!!!! My family has the exact same sentiment

[craggy ember]

Yeeee

[slate veldt]

yeah honestly more latins would rather be called smthign worse than latinx😭

[stone egret]

Also ngl it's like people are being like "your whole ass language is bigoted because it's gendered" and like bro we all know gendered words are stupid and based on nothing. And it sucks that people who do not fit within that gender binary have to navigate their very gendered language to find something that fits, but language is fluid and it will find a way yaknow

[craggy ember]

Exactly

[stone egret]

My language isn't even gendered but we really do not have "they" when used in the context of a single person so people have to use my language's equivalent of "that one over there" which sounds kinda dumb, but people are slowly getting used to it and it's fine yaknow

[craggy ember]

We have usted which is like sir and ma'am kinda

[stone egret]

And I say all of this after struggling through 7 years of French (was supposed to be 6 but I failed a year) and still not knowing which words were 'le' and which words were 'la' at the end of it

[craggy ember]

I'd rather be told to go back to my own country tbh

[slate veldt]

me when trying to figure out when to use la or el😭

[stone egret]

I hate gendered words with a passion because they don't make sense but like you don't get to call an entire fucking language 'wrong' for being gendered

[rapid basin]

fuck the French

[craggy ember]

Bro if I can't tell I just say usted so I also sound nice and like I'm putting them in an important position

[slate veldt]

honestly for spanish tho with how varied it can be by countries i dont rlly get too called out on for mixing up la and el

[stone egret]

Ngl, as someone from Europe who barely encounters any Latin discourse (except the Ancient variety) Latinx sounds like a slur at first glance

[craggy ember]

Frr

[slate veldt]

because quesadilla and quesadilla are two different things

a food and a dessert

[craggy ember]

Ohh yea

[slate veldt]

two different countries

[stone egret]

Omg yes usually languages with no clear gender neutral version also have a formal 'you' or whatever so like just do the formal one and it's fine

[slate veldt]

Fr

[craggy ember]

I don't even remember if I ever had this

[slate veldt]

theres also already different versions of the same food aka tamales 😭

[slate veldt]

its from
el salvador

[stone egret]

Lmao my mom's friend's son found love in Peru so the friend went there to visit and she learned Spain Spanish and was so confused the entire time when everyone spoke Peru Spanish

[slate veldt]

so unless ur around salvadorians you wont rlly find it lol

[craggy ember]

It be like that

[craggy ember]

My uncle is

[slate veldt]

aye

ive tried to make it and struggled lol

[stone egret]

I spent an ungodly amount of time looking at these two words to see if they were the same or not

[craggy ember]

Lowkey I could say a full sentence in my flavor of spanish and a lot of people would not understand it tbh

[slate veldt]

they are

😭

[slate veldt]

what flavor r u

[stone egret]

My first language is Germanic, this arrangement of letters feels very unnatural to me okay 😭

[slate veldt]

also horchata there’s different versions of that

and arroz con leche

ahhh

[craggy ember]

Colombian :)

[slate veldt]

aye

[craggy ember]

Ye

Also I do have a box tho

[slate veldt]

oh shit ive never seen thise before

[craggy ember]

Box mix

[slate veldt]

😭

[craggy ember]

Honestly valid

[craggy ember]

Tbh sometimes I'll give my spanish speaking friends a sentence in colombian to translate to see if they get it

[slate veldt]

that reminds me of when my friend told me a customer thought she was columbian and started speaking spanish and my friend was so lost😭

[craggy ember]

Lmao

[slate veldt]

latins getting confused as different ethnicities

😭

[stone egret]

Y'all would struggle a lot with Dutch too lmao

[craggy ember]

Here's an example
Quibo ve, quiero rumbear ahora ¿puedes ir a medcado y comprar unas bombas y aguitas?

[craggy ember]

Lowkey dutch just potato femboy language fr

[slate veldt]

all i know is that ur asking a question and asking if i can do smthing

[stone egret]

I'm quite certain there's a question in there

[craggy ember]

Ye

There very much is

[slate veldt]

i lowkey cant even read spanish that well im rusty as hell

[craggy ember]

Lmao

[slate veldt]

ur asking about time

[craggy ember]

Valid af fr

[stone egret]

Damn... Didn't expect to have my language torn to shreds today...

[slate veldt]

nah i grew up learning english 😭 wasnt taught spanish but imworking on it

[craggy ember]

Ohh ur dutch

[stone egret]

If anything, Flemish is the femboy version of Dutch

[craggy ember]

I learned both at the same time then dropped spanish for a while

[slate veldt]

r u asking us to buy some drink or smthing

[slate veldt]

i only now picked up spanish ive been parroting the stuff my parents say in spanish 😭 but at least i can understand it

well i can understand chisme spanish if someone comes up to me asking a question or smthing idk dawg

but i can overhear gossiping

[craggy ember]

Hello (ve is like dude but not there is no translation), I wanna party (but like lowkey ykyk) right now, can you go to the store and buy some ballons and water?

[slate veldt]

ahh

[craggy ember]

Realist thing you could've said

[slate veldt]

i was close with the aguitas thing i loweky was overthinking it

[craggy ember]

All I know is I might learn it at some point cuz tbh it looks pretty easy imo

[craggy ember]

Lamo

[slate veldt]

the only other langauge i learned is ASl but that lowkey helped me with spanish cause i realized different grammar/setence structure thing

[craggy ember]

Based

Al I know are asl curse words

[slate veldt]

😭

i know how to say how r u

and slow down

and uhh water

and i can finger spell at least

[stone egret]

I have been told the grammar is pretty easy because the rules are consistent (Dutch children everywhere are disagreeing with me rn but we have the disadvantage of speaking it for a while before needing to write) but there are a few things that make 0 sense

Like when to use 'de', 'het', or 'een' is just completely based on vibes

[craggy ember]

🤌
👍 👎
🫴
🫲 🫲 🫱 🫱

[stone egret]

I KNOW HOW TO SAY THAT IN SPANISH!

Despacito por favor

[craggy ember]

😭

[stone egret]

I do not know enough Spanish for it to ever be useful

I know how to say fuck in Korean tho

I know how to spell my name in Korean too

[craggy ember]

It's just despacito

[stone egret]

I do not know any other Korean

[stone egret]

LMAO never mind

I mean por favor is just ''please" right?

[craggy ember]

I know English, Spanish, and working on Norwegian atm

Yup

[stone egret]

Or at least it's supposed to be in Spain Spanish

Yeah so like I meant "slow down please" lol

[craggy ember]

I don't think it changes anywhere

[stone egret]

Nice

[craggy ember]

Yup

[stone egret]

I can be completely useless in all versions of Spanish now

[slate veldt]

you know “no hablo spanish”

[craggy ember]

Hola
Taco
Burrito

Those u probably know

[stone egret]

I did not. I did not know if it was supposed to be hablo or habla lmao

[slate veldt]

its the same tbh

habla tho is like

[craggy ember]

He or she or they singular

[stone egret]

But "No hablo Espagnol" is something I can say I guess

[slate veldt]

yeah

[stone egret]

I might have misgendered myself there idk

[slate veldt]

yo hablo (i speak
el hablas (he speaks

[craggy ember]

Hablas is you speaks

Habla is he, she, or they singular speak

[stone egret]

Aight so hablo if I wanna tell someone I don't speak Spanish

[craggy ember]

Ye

[slate veldt]

when my mom tells me to do smthing in english i lowkey go

no hablo ingles

[craggy ember]

Lmao

I'm trying to find the spanish to English video of pain

[stone egret]

Okay really funny Spanish thing: There's a Dutch song that features the Spanish line "hola supermercado telebancos por aquí" so I can say that too lol

Yes, I know it makes no sense, that's the whole point lmao

[craggy ember]

Wtf

Hello supermarkets telebanks here?

[stone egret]

Yep

[craggy ember]

I love europeans

I saw a fancy restautant in Sweden called mercado

I found the video!!

Fuck I lost it

I found it

Again

https://youtube.com/shorts/hJNJNT4bm2E?si=g97GH3Bf0Wpb295k

This is the pain of spanish

Also I think they missed a few but eh it's a long enough list already

[slate veldt]

its funny because im like “did they repeat one?” cause i just understood it all😭

[craggy ember]

lmao

there's also Pon which I think they missed

[stone egret]

Ngl at some point the video sounded like "poossy poossy poossy poossy" to me (I had to censor because discord won't let me send but I mean 🐱 )

[craggy ember]

yeaa

spanish be like that

lot's of things just sound like that

The word Negar which is to deny legit sounds and looks almost exactly like the n-word'

when conjugated

[slate veldt]

bro oh my god so many words sound racist 😭

[stone egret]

So does 'you' in Korean lol

[craggy ember]

mmhm

[stone egret]

I do not know how to spell it

I just know it sounds like that

[slate veldt]

but apparently the n slur was taken from spanish orgins so it aint our fault

[craggy ember]

lmao

[stone egret]

Also since we're dropping funny language things, I'll just drop this Dutch gem in here

[craggy ember]

I think it was more from latin no?

OHH

there's end in swedish

which is slot

[slate veldt]

idk man but racist folks just took the word from spanish speakers

[craggy ember]

legit was about to find that

[craggy ember]

damn

[stone egret]

Also fun fact: When people write 'lol' as 'lul' they're saying 'dick' in Dutch

[slate veldt]

bet

[craggy ember]

lmao

[stone egret]

Also, chef in Dutch? Kok

And 'kut' is Dutch for 'cunt' which makes it very funny when Dutch children first learn English and get to the word 'cut'

[craggy ember]

Man I would love trying to dutch peoson but they only speak dutch and I only speak spanish and see what happens from it

[craggy ember]

Lmao absolute cinema

[stone egret]

"You can't punish me for swearing, I'm speaking English" has been uttered by many Dutch children

[craggy ember]

Lmao

I joke that I can say certain cuss words in spanish cuz in Colombian they have altered meanings

[stone egret]

Also we love literal translations. Gloves are hand shoes, a vacuum cleaner is a dustsucker

Peanut butter is peanut cheese for some reason

[craggy ember]

To like is smth like to pleasure

and that to me is funny af

[craggy ember]

hand shoes is beautiful

[stone egret]

Unfortunately I think you will struggle pronouncing 'handschoenen' (hand shoes)

[craggy ember]

Ew voice

[stone egret]

Lmao no

[craggy ember]

Since spainsh is funky with it's grammer to give characteristics to something you'd say de which liretally means "of" so chocolate cake is cake of chocolate and debit card is card of debit

[craggy ember]

;-;

[stone egret]

if you make google translate (the dutch one ofc) say it you can hear how it's supposed to sound

[craggy ember]

Whonen

TF YOU MEAN WHONEN

[stone egret]

where did you get a W from????

it's an s and a g sound???

[craggy ember]

it's sounds like a w with said potato in mouth

[stone egret]

Lmao

Wait until I tell you about the city of 's-Hertogenbosch

That one confuses a LOT of people

[craggy ember]

ew

[stone egret]

Especially cuz most people shorten it to Den Bosch which leaves a lot of tourists confused

[craggy ember]

Does that mean that Den Hauge has a longer name?

[stone egret]

And then, to top it all off, during carnaval (Southern Dutch Carnaval, nothing like the Brazilian one), the city is named Oeteldonk lmao

[stone egret]

Yes and no

[craggy ember]

wait that's actually kinda cute tbh

[stone egret]

Den Haag (The Hague) has always been Den Haag. However, to be fancy, they copied 's-Hertogenbosch and also made the 'fancy' name 's-Gravenhage

However, 's-Hertogenbosch is the original historical name with Den Bosch being the more modernized and easy version. Den Haag is the original and 's-Gravenhage was created later

[craggy ember]

I see

[stone egret]

All the places that do carnaval change their name it's really fun

[craggy ember]

goofy

All I got that don't look like a stock photo is my ass wait for a train

Btw Intercity is overpriced af

[stone egret]

Yeah so the train system is where you can clearly see that Den Haag copied Den Bosch because Den Haag Centraal is Den Haag central station, but the Den Bosch one is called 's-Hertogenbosch lol

[craggy ember]

goofy

[stone egret]

Duuuude I pay 12 euros one way to visit my mom and that's with her picking me up from the train station instead of me taking the bus

Full price is 20 but I pay for 40% off (which is cheaper in the long run)

So 24 euros just to visit my mom one weekend

Plus 6 euros monthly

[craggy ember]

.... In the U.S. it's like 2-5 dollars one way

[stone egret]

Tbf, our trains are a lot better

But damn they are expensive

[craggy ember]

See we have somewhat good trains here and there alot cheaper you just can't get to rural areas

but if ur in a big city like LA bro the trains are so good

[stone egret]

Tbf, my entire country is smaller than LA I'm pretty sure

[craggy ember]

Ur ~4x bigger than LA

[stone egret]

Nvm I stand corrected

But the country do be smol

I'm sure there's villages in the US bigger than Amsterdam

[craggy ember]

No but like apparently LA Metro is no longer free for students but know 50-75% off but that's still like ~1 per fair tho there's prob a few execptions

[craggy ember]

Villages, no, city's maybe, states 100%

Although the netherlands is smaller than San Bernadino County by like 4k mi^2

[stone egret]

I still think it's cool that even though we're such a small country, we still are pretty big players on a global scale. Like we're no powerhouse like the US or China, but we also aren't small politically yaknow

[craggy ember]

ye

[stone egret]

And I've really grown to love the stupid little Dutch traditions we have

Like when someone graduates they hang their school bag off the flag post to show to other people that they graduated

[craggy ember]

damnn

I was just thinking of what dutch things most americans know about and then I remembered Zwarte Piet lmao

[stone egret]

OOF

[craggy ember]

Like not alot know about him tho I know a few who probably do but the rest is just Canals tbh

[simple mason]

My native language (czech) is even worse. The entire past tense and conditionals are gendered 😭 😭

[craggy ember]

Oh god gendered conjugations 💀

[stone egret]

You should know he's just Piet these days, in songs they changed it from Zwarte Piet to Lieve Piet (Sweet Pete) and it's NOT blackface anymore (unless you're insome backwards ass village or retirement home but the national version is NOT blackface)

[craggy ember]

lmao

[stone egret]

And this is what the graduation thing looks like btw

[craggy ember]

That is so niche but cool at the same time

[stone egret]

I didn't even know this was a Dutch thing until my first year of uni and someone explained it in the class group chat to all the internationals

[craggy ember]

lmao

[stone egret]

it's really funny because literally every Dutchie (who has graduated) has a photo like this lol

[craggy ember]

omg

I have one like that and I would share it if I wasn't afraid of doxxing myself through a pic of my mom's house lmao

[craggy ember]

[simple mason]

The only alternatives to he/she when talking about yourself is either plural (we) or neuter gender (it) and I don't know anyone whou would use these 😭

[stone egret]

Only talk about yourself in the third person I guess

[craggy ember]

yikes

[simple mason]

Also gendered

[stone egret]

Only use your name in the third person

[simple mason]

Verbs and adjectives are gendered though

[stone egret]

Fuck

[simple mason]

That's the problem

[stone egret]

Just swap genders all the time

[craggy ember]

Don't talk

[simple mason]

And groups are gendered too, there's a different suffix for verbs if the group consists only of women/feminine thing or if there's at least one man/masculine thing

[craggy ember]

All I can think of is that in Spanish if there's one guy in a group of women the whole group is masculine

[stone egret]

I always hate it when languages do the "group consisting of all women is one word but one man joins and it's masculine" thing

[simple mason]

Yeah, that's the thing

[craggy ember]

Also damn I just realized I know like nothing about Czechia

[simple mason]

In czech it's neuter < feminine and masculine inanimate < masculine animate

[craggy ember]

I'm sorry fuckin' inanimate vs. animate

that

well I now know another thing about Czechia/Czech

[simple mason]

I can yap about my country if you want, but idk if this is the right channel for it

[craggy ember]

idk u can dm me and yap, Big fan of leaning about other countries

[simple mason]

That's why it takes us 7 years just to learn the basics of our grammar 😭

[craggy ember]

.... Worst part is that I'd still no be opposed to learning Czech

[simple mason]

I could create a new off topic channel for learning about new countries or something like that 🤔

[craggy ember]

Ay that's not a bad idea

Skiing without a helmet is not hot

I’ve prob said that before but this is an epidemic

[simple mason]

Is it a hot take? At least in Europe it's quite rare to see someone skiing without a helmet.

[solar lotus]

doing your fit of the day that shit should stay ON

[crimson shell]

if youre taking a pic then its fine to come off

but the goggles should stay on

[rare oasis]

i ski with the helmet on but goggles off

[ornate quiver]

idk how you do that if you're going above 3 mph

[rare oasis]

idk man, works fine for me

[ornate quiver]

aren't your eyes tearing up the whole time

[rare oasis]

no

i guess im kinda squinting them, idk i never really thought about it

just never liked the goggles

[ornate quiver]

would you say you're a fast or slow skier

[rare oasis]

i tracked myself once and went 46km/h

but that was kinda hard for the eyes

[ornate quiver]

yeah no shit lol

[rare oasis]

yea that was the fastest

but it doesnt really hurt at normal speeds

[spring sluice]

Im not a skier but in my eyes no helmet no respect as your hitting mx speeds while standing up

[rare oasis]

true the helmet stays on when skiing, if just moving around ill take it off

[ornate quiver]

i would estimate that less than .1% of skiers have no helmet these days

[rare oasis]

now i wanna go skiing again

[crimson shell]

ive wanted to go skiing again since the first time i skiied

last winter

problem is we havent had snow

[rare oasis]

problem is skiing is so expensive, and denmark doesnt have a single thing close to a mountain

[spring sluice]

I think id enjoy snowboarding more ngl

[spring sluice]

Same with the uk

[boreal ermine]

Im in Europe and there are TOO MANY ppl not wearing their helmets

At least in America we have more helmet-ers which is prob why it feels so shocking to me lmfao

[ornate quiver]

from what i've heard the skiing vibe is much different in europe

like it's people slowly going down their perfectly groomed pistes

[simple mason]

Interesting, probably a different area or idk, because in my experience, it's not the case

[boreal ermine]

I’m in French alps

Have yet to conquer the rest of the Europeans pistes

Lift lines are fucking mosh pits lmfao

So glad I’m renting skis

“Don’t be gentle, it’s a rentle!!!”

[simple mason]

Maybe that's the case in small ski resorts with one ski lift, but it's absolutely not true for any larger ski resort in the Alps

The sanatizer at my job is crazy fast

I have more of a question than a hot take, can people here eat a large pizza by themselves?

I feel like it's easy

That may be the hot take

[slate veldt]

i can’t

[pallid gale]

like an italian restaraunt pizza ya, but some of these pizzas can be 18" or 20" which is crazy

from american chains like dominos papa johns etc

aalso probably due to how heavy handed on the toppings those places are too

[undone lake]

On my pizza cheat day of the month I have a large pizza from dominos with chicken, beef some other toppings on and I finish it in maybe 10 minutes

[still niche]

cookings fine, i love to make stuff, im pretty clean with prep and cleaning too, its just if u gotta like eat something to keep yourself alive i feel like, different from food im eating for the experience.

[still niche]

maybe i can if i force myself to overeat, never tried it, realistically i wouldn't

[pallid gale]

ya on a normal day i wouldnt be able to do that i think

[stone egret]

God I wish that were me

[still niche]

lets say you're at a party with the large pizzas, and everyones grabbing 1-2 slices for dinner, are you thinking you're full with one more (3) or 2 was enough or you wanna eat the whole pizza atp?

[simple mason]

I usually eat 4–6 slices, but if I wanted to and had enough time, I could eat a whole pizza.

[stone egret]

Me? No fucking clue, I don't live in a country where party pizzas are really a thing. And even then, I have enough trauma around food that I am super convinced that everyone is measuring how much I eat so I would only eat as much as everyone else...

When there's like a random assortment of nuts or a charcuterie board I literally only grab something whenever I know that another person has reached for a bite for the second time since my last piece... I am very aware that that makes me unhinged

[spring sluice]

Id eat the whole thing

[low kettle]

A whole pizza I probably could if I didn't eat for a day

[solar lotus]

Not at all

Not to get into my issues but like. It would take me an entire day probably

And I would have had to eat other stuff earlier in the day/ throughout to keep my appetite

[dusty furnace]

Hot Take: I think we should abandon mint toothpaste as a society (it burns) and go back to cute flavors like strawberry or watermelon or bubblegum

[solar lotus]

no no I can get behind this

I had bubblegum as a kid because mint burned too much

if you're worried abt fresh breath brush Ur teeth and THEN just have a mint as well

[dusty furnace]

Agreed, I had strawberry

[stone egret]

Watermelon and bubblegum are literally two of the most evil artificial flavors

I just don't want my toothpaste to taste like food... Feels weird to clean your teeth but then still taste something tasty imo

Tho I had to force myself to be cool with mint cuz my dentist told me to use this special toothpaste for my gums and it's literally the most insanely spicy mint flavor ever

And the matching mouthwash is even worse (literally burns)

[solar lotus]

dentists have no sympathy

[hidden breach]

It helps if you drink orange juice after using mint toothpaste

[undone lake]

The tradition of shoving someone’s face in their cake on their birthday or wedding day is NOT ITTTTT

I’ll never understand why that’s a thing

[stone egret]

If both parties agree, go ahead and do it. It's weird but I'm not gonna yuck someone's yum. It's the agression with which men will slam their new wife's face into a cake (that very well might have wooden dowels in it that can poke out her eyes) after she explicitly told him not to do it that's so fucked up

Also @boreal ermine this hot take is specifically for you (said with love): Dubai isn't a fucking flavor. The flavor is pistachio, Dubai is a location and it's dumb that we as a society have decided to just name everything pistachio flavored Dubai

[low kettle]

Berliner <3

My favorite flavor

[boreal ermine]

Omg YES YES ur so right

It’s the pistachio and kataifi chocolate

bro ive always had a fear of that happening to
me

i tell everhone to back it up when im near my cake

well not anymore but when i was small i did

[woven plinth]

My teacher once told me a story about how someone slammed someone's family member into a fork

With their eye into it

[stone egret]

Ngl if you're gonna cake smash you should never use so much force that the person can't stop you by just pushing back

Like that's a form of consent imo

[still niche]

Ive seen a clip where one family member who did it seemed drunk and no one else was amused by it

Also Idk if this take is related but we shouldn't stick wax candles in cake to blow them, it always ends up melting and dripping wax in there from what I've seen

[stone egret]

Do y'all not use the lil candle holders???

Like we had these tiny little plastic holders you'd shove the candles into and they caught the wax that dripped

[still niche]

My family had metal and plastic ones that also play music iirc. Ya I've seen ppl stick it in without candle holders many times

[stone egret]

If you tend to assault people when drunk, you should not drink imo

[stone egret]

I'm guessing those are the same kind of families that allow their kids to 'help' while baking and then they just sneeze and spit into the cake like 15 times

[still niche]

I assumed it would be something less gross like just getting a cheap birthday candle pack that doesn't have candle holders and a cake from a bakery for a small birthday celebration and not caring too much but that's worse

[stone egret]

I will NEVER eat something handed to me by a child or eat a baked good that a child was allowed to help with baking

[solar lotus]

If you're like us we eat the wax 💓

tho we didn't put them in cake.

healthy alternative 10/10 would reccomend

[woven plinth]

I think it is lame in any form

Waste of food

[still niche]

I've seen variations of the tradition that's less wasteful where they cut out a slice and use that instead

[boreal ermine]

Even more hot take is that u shouldn’t blow on the candles if you’re serving your cake to anyone other than close family members

At a big bday party I use a paper plate bc I don’t want to blow my germs all over the cake to serve to guests

This is the COVID effect🤣🤣😭

[stone egret]

I mean I did eat the cake my bestie blew out the candles on but her tongue literally has been in my mouth so I don't think it matters

[solar lotus]

I don't think we needed to know that but hey sure

one of the things I've done sometimes instead of cake candles is sparklers

that's usually in the evening when it gets a bit darker cause I have an autumn bday

Let the opps reveal themselves

[nocturne heart]

Politics is just a way to keep us divided against ourselves and distracted. Blame the other side instead of the ones running the show lol

https://tenor.com/view/wake-up-sheeple-inside-job-gif-8797174940286521902

that's also referred to as elite theory btw (*which is a real thing, not conspiracy)

[ornate quiver]

that's not what elite theory is

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9046547/

elite theory is basically the idea that all power systems are oligarchic

in a sense, believing that elites create politics to keep us divided is itself a political statement, which suggests that not all politics are created by those in power to divide us

[nocturne heart]

Yes I know, but what I meant to say is that politics is used as a distraction that we are ruled by a small few, which is elite theory

[ornate quiver]

i think it's also difficult to apply this idea to periods of extreme political turmoil. for example, if we take the 1960's in America, would you say that the civil rights movement and anti-Vietnam war movements were distractions?

or to take a more extreme example, was the anschluss a distraction? from what?

or you'd have to argue that those weren't political, which seems silly as well

[nocturne heart]

Does elite theory imply all movements have to be manufactured distractions?

[ornate quiver]

no that's what you're claiming

[boreal ermine]

Bro if this is the same thing as when ppl claim the kardashians exist to distract us from current events

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

[ornate quiver]

yeah i think anyone claiming that has themselves to blame lol

if the kardashians are distracting you from ice raids idk what to tell you

[crimson shell]

Kardashins in the big 26 🥀

[nocturne heart]

Hmm well elite theory is not fringe, it's proven political science

I don't really know enough to go into the semantics with you, but it's a proven thing. They give the people enough back to create the illusion of control.

[ornate quiver]

i would read that link to understand elite theory better because that's not really what it claims

it's more that political parties are tools for elites to wield power

but that's different than all politics

[nocturne heart]

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Claudia-Mariotti/publication/346487306_Elite_Theory/links/5fcce268a6fdcc697be52231/Elite-Theory.pdf?origin=publication_detail&_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uRG93bmxvYWQiLCJwcmV2aW91c1BhZ2UiOiJwdWJsaWNhdGlvbiJ9fQ

According to elite theory, it is evident that all the
forms of government are essentially oligarchies,
who use different values and principles to justify
the power struggle and to manipulate the consent
of the ruled.

[ornate quiver]

yeah but that's a different claim than politics

[ornate quiver]

that's what i said up here

[nocturne heart]

How

[ornate quiver]

a protestor is committing a political act but probably doesn't have any political power

for example

also as a side note, no political science is really "proven"

unless it's quantitative political science which this isn't

[nocturne heart]

How is this elite theory a different claim if politics is central to elite theory

[ornate quiver]

political power is central to elite theory

[nocturne heart]

Im not following you at all, if elite theory applies to the USA for example, no matter what the protest or movement is, the elite would control the outcome, and if they want to create the illusion of control they would give when they want to . So you are arguing that wouldn't be elite theory or what?

And then they would get us to bicker back and forth to keep us distracted from noticing they are in control, and other tactics like that

[ornate quiver]

i'm saying that while it is true that elites control the outcome, politics itself is not something that elites create to divide us

this conversation is an example of political discourse that elites didn't create

i also believe that just because elites usually control the outcome, that's not always true, and even if it were, it wouldn't justify not engaging in politics

if you're interested in this stuff this is a really good book i read in college about working class movements in the US and how they're co-opted by those in power so that they don't achieve all of what they set out to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_People's_Movements

[nocturne heart]

I see what you are saying now, you right

[stone egret]

No. Politics is just everything to do with the government of a certain area. You're thinking of the two party system they put in place in the USA that is very much a system of pointing at the other side and accusing them of everything going wrong right now so citizens don't pay attention to who is really in charge. This left vs. right thinking has blown over to other countries unfortunately, so the politics of many countries without a two party system do have this same problem (to a lesser degree). However the term 'politics' has nothing to do with this and is literally just a descriptive word used to explain how governments govern.

[boreal ermine]

Minecraft comes alive and Mo’ creatures were the best mods

[woven plinth]

Politics are just forms of governing how things are done, different countries, people and cultures have been divided based on biological premises since time immemorial. There is no agreement on what a perfect system or world looks like for each individual, therefore debate will continue. Some groups of people will continue to exploit others for as long as there is leadership, which is a necessary means of executing actions with a lot of people. Some will find loopholes to get in power (and potentially stay there), there is no way to prevent that

[woven plinth]

Oligarchy and blaming the other side is not exclusive to the USA, a lot of political parties rely on the failure of their opponents

my taco bell has a full store

prob cause its right next to a uni

so…

business be booming

[still niche]

Checked a few ratings, average is 2.5 on Google maps..so I don't think the location matters either

Oh it's half KFC for the ones that have stores looks like

Which I feel like are bottom of the barrel

[solar lotus]

KFC so damn hit or miss

best KFC I ever had was from a service station however

[slate veldt]

jesus

Food game in my city is elite, ig they got tough competition

Especially if you also count local restaurants that aren't fast food chains

[crimson shell]

My city with chipotle

[boreal ermine]

LA has good food

chipotle and cava are both gross

[simple mason]

Every large enough place has at least some good food

[boreal ermine]

ehhh

like the most major cities must but the US got some very large places that r nasty as hell

LA/NY/Miami has like the most trendy/happening spots

[simple mason]

I don't believe that you can't find good food there

[still niche]

chipotle didn't even make the cut, there's none here

theres a bunch in other places in canada tho

[boreal ermine]

im saying those r the top 3 in the country

[simple mason]

Oh

[boreal ermine]

breakfast food is mid

breakfast in general is just mid

[ornate quiver]

are we repeating takes now

[boreal ermine]

theres 1800 comments in this thread how ru remembering all the takes

i didnt even remember if i shared that

[ornate quiver]

proof i'm not senile

[boreal ermine]

proof ur jus lurking

drop a hot take admin

[boreal ermine]

im adjusting my hot take to breakfast food in general

not jus american

[ornate quiver]

breakfast foods are good

thats my hot take

i actually do have a take that might be too hot

[boreal ermine]

not good enough

needs to be sizzling

[ornate quiver]

litematica has ruined minecraft building

[boreal ermine]

minus for trees

fuck trees

[ornate quiver]

i hate looking at someone's nice build and then thinking to myself, did they just download this from abfielder

i bet you could do trees if you messed around with it

[boreal ermine]

whats the diff between tutorials and schems then

atp

tuts are integral to the mc experience

[pallid gale]

Shaders suck!

[ornate quiver]

tutorials require your brain

[delicate crag]

good tutorials encourage you to take what they teach you and apply it to your projects

[ornate quiver]

that too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buYn47iQgvI

[boreal ermine]

ok thats fair actually

[ornate quiver]

i don't like block by block tutorials but i do like general advice that you can experiment with on your own

[boreal ermine]

exactly why my shit is purely vanilla😎 ..not because my laptop cant handle it

[solar lotus]

I can agree for some things. HOWEVER

crumpets and muffins

lovely

[boreal ermine]

That’s so British

[solar lotus]

yes and we do it right

is funny cause 99% of the time I don't even eat breakfast

[rugged fern]

Rashers (aka breakfast bacon) and scrambled eggs are amazing. Also Bloody Marys.

[undone lake]

Turkey rashers for me over bacon, bacon tastes better for sure but way less healthy

[nocturne heart]

Some people don't have that

[fossil osprey]

:(

[boreal ermine]

im more of a michelada kinda girl

its like bloody mary adjacent but barely

[steep lava]

I hope God is forgiving, because I'm not

[solar lotus]

HAHA

I like root beer...

Cream soda is worse root beer

[slate veldt]

YESSSSS

[nocturne heart]

Root beer is Fr like a 10 year old kid drink

I only remember drinking it as a kid

[solar lotus]

there's nothing stopping you from making it an adult drink :]

I only ever tried it from age 16....

It's a little hard to find round here

[lament bloom]

I stopped drinking root beer and cream soda in middle school. Found it again I. My 20s and never went back. Shit is good

[silver grove]

i love root beer

[crimson shell]

beer…16…

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[steep lava]

My beer offered me a dad once

...... I'm 16

[solar lotus]

The horror

[still niche]

extreme cold > extreme hot

[solar lotus]

I always say this

you can put more layers on

but there gets to a point where you can't take more layers off

[steep lava]

I'd rather deal with the heat

[boreal ermine]

This restaurant just proved my point👏serving French toast for dessert

[white fox]

french toast is an anytime thing in the us

[boreal ermine]

anything can be an anytime thing but it was my first time seeing it for dessert I was shook!!!

And it tasted bomb

[pallid gale]

Scorpions

[still niche]

I think it depends, like crepe places near me sell sweet and savory crepes, so like a sweet one would be more of a dessert and the savory one a meal/snack?

[white fox]

yes thats what i meant

[boreal ermine]

theres savory french toast?

[white fox]

salty kinda

[undone lake]

we need to put forsaken kids into a prime 2009 call of duty modern warfare 2 lobby

maybe black ops 2

[boreal ermine]

White chocolate nasty as hell

[crimson shell]

Cold take

[steep lava]

I hope your next meal is bad

[rare oasis]

dark>milk>white

[vague bolt]

most ice cream is nasty and the only exceptions are strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate

[lament bloom]

You are now my mortal enemy

[simple mason]

Blueberry sorbet with whipped cream 😋

[vague bolt]

thats okay you wouldnt be the first

[steep lava]

I think this is the hottest take in this entire thread

[solar lotus]

i would agree

Neapolitan ice cream's biggest glazer

[slate comet]

lemon ice cream best

[steep lava]

I haven't had ice cream I haven't liked

[slate comet]

i hate the blue one

the smurf one

it tastes like tooth paste

[boreal ermine]

How could u say this when cookies & cream exists

[rare oasis]

strawberry ice cream is the worst flavor

[pallid gale]

😢

ur saying poop flavor is better than strawberry

[rare oasis]

yes

[mental schooner]

Pizza is mid

[rare oasis]

someone call roberto

[simple mason]

Depends on where you get it form. Pizza from our local pizzeria is the best.

[boreal ermine]

Different pizzas for different occasions

NY, Chicago, authentic Italian, etc. they’re all diff styles and sometimes I’m in the mood for specific ones

The pizza that gives you heartburn is mid

[vague bolt]

no

[vague bolt]

i win!!

[vague bolt]

semi-agree

dominoes 👎

[vague bolt]

accurate

[lament bloom]

New York style pizza kinda sucks and Detroit Style and Chicago style pizza is underrated

[slate veldt]

just say you dont like ice cream😭

[boreal ermine]

I didn’t like dominos until I was drunk and tried ranch for the first time

Pizza and ranch>>>>

INSANE

[vague bolt]

i like strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream and other flavors are too extra for me

[nocturne heart]

the earth is flat

[vague bolt]

YES

[nocturne heart]

reality is fake

our brains create our reality

[rare oasis]

its a donut

[slate veldt]

salted caramel is too much?🥀

[boreal ermine]

ConspiracyWarlock fr

one of the conspiracy theories i believe is that chuck e cheese DOES in fact recycle pizza slices

[nocturne heart]

https://tenor.com/view/alien-guy-thats-crazy-woozy-crazy-scientist-gif-18248326040104658804

[nocturne heart]

I remember watching a video on that

[lament bloom]

They do, my sister used to work there. Not to the level the theory says, but they absolutely frankstein pizzas and throw some extra cheese on em and stick em back in the oven. Not at all locations, but it’s been an issue with them

[boreal ermine]

LMFAOOOOOOOO no way

also

another hot take: if you eat your burgers anything but well, youre fucking SICK EW

there should be ZEROOOOO pink in a ground beef

but pink in steak is best

this rule only applies to ground meat

[silver grove]

true tbh ground meat is kinda risky

[stone egret]

Pink beef has an icky texture regardless I said what I said

[slate veldt]

real

[vague bolt]

yeah unfortunately 😭 i respect that other people like 'extra' ice cream but it just makes me feel ill because of how much sugar there is in one bite. also i gotta mention this take is coming from an autistic person so im not right im just very specific about my food

[vague bolt]

if you're even a little bit into microbiology this is a lukewarm take because its like drinking raw milk. dangerous overall

[slate veldt]

who would drink raw milk

thats bad too anyway

😭

[lament bloom]

Give me a steak burger not cooked medium and see what happens 💣

[vague bolt]

isnt..isnt that cannibalism..

[simple mason]

May I interest you in pičiči? A slovenian food which basically is a pizza you're supposed to dip in sauce.

[boreal ermine]

Sign me up that looks fire

[simple mason]

It is indeed

[vague bolt]

that looks so good

[stone egret]

I had a friend who would snack on raw ground beef while cooking it... Like she'd pick out a few pieces to just eat straight up before throwing the rest in the pan... I'm not friends with her anymore for other reasons, but ngl, the raw ground beef thing should've been my first red flag (it did make me so nauseous when I saw it the first time ngl)

[boreal ermine]

wthelly

HAHAHAHAH that’s sooooo funny holy shit

She prob just thought it was cute and quirky like beef tartar ???

[stone egret]

Idk man she thought it was yummy???

On a more insane note, I am literally more white than her and that is some white people shit yknow

[stone egret]

But yeah she was the definition of wanting desperately to be seen as cute and quirky

[boreal ermine]

Lmfaoooo that’s sending me rn

So funny

[grave dust]

Free will is a crazy thing 😭

[boreal ermine]

Guys should sit down to pee

[rapid basin]

can't sit down on a urinal

[steep lava]

Why? I'm curious

[boreal ermine]

In what solar system would you think im talking about urinals

[rapid basin]

well you said guys should sit down to piss

rather hard to sit down on a urinal
