Because one of the luxuries of conducting discourse by post is that you have time to choose words that are more suited for your specific intention. When speaking, saying “fucking” is often simply a replacement for “uhh”. At least, it is for me.

How a sentence with swearing is perceived is wildly unpredictable. For example, “science: it works bitches” was a comic and tshirt by Randall Munroe. Not for a second when he wrote that did the sexist interpretation of “ladies, start trusting science” enter his head. I’m not saying that is a lesson in not swearing. I’m just saying swears tend to have loads of meanings, and they are hard to use unambiguously. In art, ambiguity is often key though. I am against censorship.

elbarto777,

Fucking what now?

Oh wait…

$&@! it.

BradleyUffner, in If you could only listen to someone talk about one topic for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

I’m going to metagame this one and say “current events”.

‘history’ maybe even more apt as even or estimations of the future are based on it

A half dollar coin. A condom.

Toes,

Haha

personalized pin maybe?

Tagger,

It’s just finding one the right size I’m struggling with.

Consensus? You’re asking the fediverse for a consensus?

supercriticalcheese,

Yeah, no idea what OP expected.

My two cents is that swearing with people you don’t know might lead to misunderstandings, so probably it would be best to keep that shit to a minimum.

Had a few ideas for ya:

2 coins

A fake AirTag

A couple pieces of chiclets gum

Coiled wire or string

Fresh air (or a fart), in a tiny ziploc bag

A tiny hair doll

Two very tiny hair dolls

Let me know if you need any more!

Tagger,

Thanks! I like the idea of a couple of coins, but aren’t AirTags bigger in circumference than a coin?

Cethin,

There are a lot of coins out there. Just travel the world until you find the one that fits.

Tagger,

What a good excuse to travel!

RvTV95XBeo,

There may be challenge coins out there that relate to your favorite causes or hobbies that could be fun to slot in, just do a search for “<> challenge coin” and see if anything tickles your fancy

Tagger,

This. I think this is probably what I’m going to do! Thanks!

Coin shaped silver bullion might be the right size

Moghul,

Are they wider than Danish 5dkk coins? They have a fairly nice design and a hole in the middle.

What about an Android alternative? I don’t use any, so can’t recommend, but I’m sure one of them will be a knockoff of a similar size.

Tagger, (edited )

I like this idea, finding one the right size is my only issue. most appear to be a different shape and the Chipolo is 6 cm wider.

SkaveRat,

and google is releasing their own find-my-device alternative very soon (currently waiting for apple), so you could put something like a Chipolo tag in there, once they are released (they have bluetooth onces, but they don’t use the new network)

Food. I love cooking and baking and recipe planning and eating and thinking about food and talking about food

I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation

ultra, in Unused Airtag slot

A tile tracker or Samsung galaxy tag

newtraditionalists, in If you could only listen to someone talk about one topic for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

Do we get to pick the person? I'd say Nigella Lawson talking about cooking.

A condom

SkaveRat,

for decoration, yes. But please never use a condom that was stored in a walled
