ZeroGravitas, (edited ) in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Call Me Maybe / Carly Rae Jepsen

You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you’re in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Swear to Satan it’s real At first sight, and it’s real
I didn’t know I would feel it
But it’s in my way

Yep. Knew it was wrong, but that’s what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.

Sea_pop,

Another Carly Rae one:

Fake Mona Lisa

He was born in Vegas

The way she sings it, it sounds like

It’s morning fa**ots

dingus, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like “later we’ll have some fucking pie”, but it’s “later we’ll have some pumpkin pie”.

HonkTonkWoman,

Oh I am absolutely teaching that one to my nephew before next holiday season…

cheese_greater,

How old?

dingus,

Can’t say I remember. It’s one of those songs that has been played every year for ages upon ages. Maybe around 10 or something.

Hux, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Simon & Garfunkel; Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know

=

She’s a slut more than you could know—whoa, who, whoa!

HonkTonkWoman,

That’s “The Graduate Remix”

Gregorech, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Pearl Jam; Daughter

Center of a Rhododendron = Center of he own attention.

HonkTonkWoman,

Always loved Eddie making fun of Mike for thinking the Kiss lyrics were, “I wanna rock n roll all night, and part of every day.”

Pearl Jam feels like cheating.

Here’s the classic Yellow Ledbetter

VaultBoyNewVegas,

I still don’t know the full lyrics of even flow. Every time I hear it fucks with my head and I forget the words.

Yellow Ledbetter doesn’t count. It’s mumbled in recordings because the lyrics change over time to adapt to whatever conflict we’re currently wasting life on.

NoneYa, in What's your favorite piece of bullshit advice?

“Be careful!” Oh thanks for the reminder because I wasn’t planning on being careful 👍

I honestly don’t think little kids understand what people mean when they say “be careful”. When my kids were younger, I’d say something like “be careful the sidewalk is icy!” and they’d just run full speed and slip on the ice.

I think kids just think “be careful” is just something nice you say like “good luck”.

NoneYa,

Yours was definitely informative and I think partly because of your intentions but also because of the statement after about the danger that was there that they may not have been aware of.

The ones I’m referring to are the typical greetings where it’s just “be careful” or “drive safe”.

I know the intention is meant well but always still struck me as an odd way to greet someone.

SeedyOne,

How have I never heard this. That was great.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are your best Sleep tips and hacks?

Having something to laugh about right before bed helps a lot. Oddly I know this due to being a sufferer of the pseudobulbar effect.

cheese_greater, (edited )

I sort of have it where something I think of is so funny to the point I cry-laugh but its thoroughly on the happy/joyful side

Laughing is definitely a mini cardio workout tho

TastyWheat, in If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be?

Mariah Carey. I work retail. If you know, you know.

Dagwood222,

I worked retail for exactly one Christmas. The day I worked the toy department they had one album on repeat for eight hours. I hated Christmas music for years, and now it just annoys me.

papalonian, (edited ) in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Taylor Swift - Blank Space

“Got a long list of ex lovers”

As

“Gotta love those Starbucks lovers”

I thought it was supposed to be a self aware “white girl” joke.

dingus,

Lmao I also heard it as that and was so confused at wtf it was supposed to actually be

0ops, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

She’s got electric boobs… Something something… B-b-b-benny and the jetsssss

cheese_greater,

Its funny, I always felt Benny was more crocodiley than Crocodile Rock. Like that snappy piano riff at the beginning sounds like the musical/thematic equivalent of a crocodile with its mouth wide open snapping shut

Sekrayray, in What Kind of Natural Disasters Occur Where You Live? And How Have You Prepared for Them?

Most posters are talking about what natural disasters they experience and less about preparedness, so I’m going to take the preparedness angle:

  1. We have a go bag with medical supplies, very basic survival equipment, and non-perishable food.
  2. We have enough non-perishable food at home for my wife and I for about 3 months
  3. We have enough water for a week, and lifestraws to use local water supplies after that.
  4. We have basic survival things like hand crank chargers/radios, solar batteries, thermal blankets, etc.
  5. In the case of man made disaster (nuclear war) we have iodine pills.

My take on survival stuff is to be prepared but not be a prepper. Some folks take this way too far. I feel everyone who builds a bunker and has a years worth of food is going to have someone fall flat on their house and it won’t matter anyway. That being said, I want to have enough to comfortably survive a week-month, and then after that things would be so fucked that all bets are off anyway.

On #3 water filtration is often a very overlooked thing. I’ve got a Sawyer filter I set up inline with a hydration pack for when I go hiking. Water filters are so cheap and can have great shelf life, pretty much every one should have one.

Sekrayray,

So true

just_change_it, in What's your favorite piece of bullshit advice?

Hard work always pays off.

cheese_greater,

smart work always pays off

;) ftfy

GlitterInfection,

Being born wealthy always pays off.

Iamdanno,

Not always. Sometimes you just end up as a waste of oxygen in jail.

Weirdfish,

I knew there was something I forgot to do

catharso, in Getting braces as a young adult?
@catharso@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I’m an old adult and i went for Invisalign instead of braces two years ago.

Was pricey but an absolute breeze compared to the horror of having braces i experienced over two decades earlier.

LunchEnjoyer,
@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll see if I could have this instead, seems alot better.

nick, in Getting braces as a young adult?

I’m 43 and am doing Invisalign as we speak.

I had braces in my teens but my orthodontist was an escaped nazi scientist who reveled in cruelty. I completed the course, but it gave me a phobia of dental work so I kinda… avoided dentists after.

Long story short: Invisalign and modern orthodontics is a world away from the 90s. No more mallets to hammer bands into teeth, no more night braces, etc. 3d models, computer aided treatment, it’s all like magic.

Do it, you’ll be happy you did. If you want more deets hit me up

scytale,

My wife wants to try invisalign and we’re in our late 30s. She just wants to straighten her upper front teeth (slight overbite). Did your orthodontist say anything about expectations for adults and if there’s any difference?

nick,

Nope no difference! Other than adults can be more trusted to wear them (some kids take them out and don’t put em back in so generally kids get normal braces). He figures if an adult pays and doesn’t wear them, not his problem.

gibmiser, in What are your best Sleep tips and hacks?

Do a sleep study. If you have apnea try the CPAP.

cheese_greater,

If you do that, what can you do in the meantime while waiting for it? Good tip but what can you do presently?

gibmiser,

Wish I could help you man. But nothing worked for me in the 10 years before I got the CPAP.

Sleeping on your side is better than sleeping on your back or stomach. Alcohol and sleep medicines won’t help.

Squizzy,

I just imagine them telling me get off the phone and I’d conk.
