Conversion to metric.

SilentStorms, in What would happen if your surgeon just left in the middle of surgery?
@SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

There would be some other doctor in the hospital that would sew you back up, that surgeon would go to jail for a while, you’d be on the news, win massive lawsuit.

Followupquestion, in What are the most appropriate responses to some very uncomfortable and awkward questions?

“Are you two trying for a baby yet?”

“Not that it’s your business, but I prefer facials to creampies.”

Nollij,

Another good one is to horrify them- get quiet and uncomfortable, and say something about how the doctors think you’re infertile.

Assuming these are people you just met, of course.

kite,

You don’t even have to get quiet and uncomfortable. Just saying it matter-of-factly gets them all horrified as well.

Nollij,

True, but getting quiet puts a point on exactly how personal their question was.

Aaron,

My partner gave the reply “No, we’re just practicing”, the lady looked horrified. You asked about a near stranger’s sex life, lady. I don’t know what she expected.

I am stealing this, tell your partner thanks!

Followupquestion,

“Hard to get pregnant the way we do it. Pull-out isn’t reliable enough so we go for the poophole loophole.”

Barbacamanitu,

Lmao. I love it. Be as vulgar and personal as possible.

“I prefer for my husband to shoot his cum into my asshole or all over my face”

quixotic120, in What would happen if your surgeon just left in the middle of surgery?

I would imagine there is a contingency plan for if the surgeon becomes incapacitated, eg has an aneurysm/heart attack, so they’d probably do whatever that is

Probably something like palliative care until an on call surgeon can come in and finish out whatever was going on

How big is your dick?

This was asked by the daughter of a patient while I was working home health.

She was 14.

I did not go back lol.

My answer was, " ma’am, that’s not a question to ask someone, much less an adult you barely know."

Home health can be fun lol.

cat,

That’s actually a good response, I think I would be stunned by such a question.

southsamurai,
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

I was lol

Onionizer,

“Idk ask your mom”

Can confirm, working home health is a lot of fun! I should make a Lemmy community for home health workers of there isn’t already one 🤔

Oh nice! I’ll check out the community you started. I’m working as a community care aide in Canada.

aRe YoU a ToP oR A bOTToM??

Absolute strangers will ask you that the moment they find out you’re gay.

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Are you the man or the woman???

My response is usually “are you the man or the woman in your relationship?”

We’re both men, that’s the whole point!

Barbacamanitu,

“We’re both the woman”

Melobol,

I believe some comedian suggested to respond with a similar vulgar question about their sex life. I think that’s a fair point.
Tho you can always ask them if their first question to a stranger is a deeply personal one to get their own perversions fed. That way you are still on the high horse :)

Lemmylefty,
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

“Why, trying to figure out if we’re compatible?”

Barbacamanitu,

Just say “we’re both the bottom” and confuse the shit out of them. Or “he’s the bottom and I’m the girl”

FeatherConstrictor, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it’s my favorite from the ones I’ve tried. I still wanna try boost out!

SojournerWeaver, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

You’re doing a medical study for money and you don’t like to poop in public places. That’s my guess.

southsamurai, in Assuming a lemmy bot building and hosting website existed soon. What features would you like to see?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

A “similar community” bot to help discovery.

When someone links to a community, it offers other communities with the same name on other instances.

But it would be less useful until we get multiC/s or something like that

fruitywelsh,

Multi community bot is actually what I want to see, but even with multic/s I think similar community not would be useful (not every community really needs to merged together).

dampfnudel, in Assuming a lemmy bot building and hosting website existed soon. What features would you like to see?

The !remindme bot functionality would be nice

bananahammock,

It exists already! And its actually a mastodon bot. Check out this post:

shapesandstuff,

@remindme 1 day

dekatron, in What are the most appropriate responses to some very uncomfortable and awkward questions?

“Are you always this quiet?”

“It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people.”

I’ve found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.

Barbacamanitu,

I just stare at them.

some_guy, in Breakfast suggestions?

Toasted bagel with peanut butter.

But when you have time for it, try adding scrambled eggs. It sounds insane, but the eggs and peanut butter compliment one another in the same way that fried chicken and waffles make a surprisingly good combo.

Lemmylaugh, in For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?

Worried about the future of fediverse, all it takes is a few external bad apples and servers will start defederating. Also even less internal bad apples who decides to make specific desirable features proprietary with the goal to amass the majority to users. Both of these are bad for the fediverse.

Dirk, in Dilemma with contributing to niche Communities on Instances federating with Threads
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s the good thing with federation. You can participate in communities without visiting the instance even once.

tenth,

What if I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments.

I want people to come to Lemmy for its contents. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can subscribe to our communities instead?

some_guy, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

I understand garlic repels them.

Joe_0237,

i understand that whatever repels them one year, if its used by enough people, attracts them after they get the chance to evolve, a couple years. Could be wrong, but my family in Maine said this happened first with the standard deep woods bug spray, then with a natural oil blend everyone started using.
