Door handles, especially on bathrooms, are disgusting. If possible, I push it with my feet (at the bottom of the door, not like in the picture).

ChillCapybara, in Does Lemmy skew old enough for this one?

Ask Mrs. Owl for the real wisdom.

WindyRebel,

Who!

Too real. I only found out that YMCA is a real thing a few years ago.

Ephera,

I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.

bdonvr,

Is that really what it is? Shit I thought… well now that I think on it I’m not sure what I thought but not that. Some place with a pool and various physical activities.

BetaBlake,

That’s mostly it, it’s got a gym, pools, basketball court, some have workout classes some have prek classes, and after-school activities for kids

LemmyKnowsBest,

The Village People strongly assert that there was nothing homosexual intended in their song or music video.

Maggoty, (edited )

I’m sure they do. I’m also sure they’re giggling about it too.

LemmyKnowsBest,

You’re sure they’re giggling? Are they even still alive? wouldn’t they be about 90 years old right now?

AngryCommieKender,

Victor Willis is still with the group, and he was one of the original members.

They have an impressive “Past Members” section.

Yeah, it’s just a song about young men hanging out with all the boys and having fun doing whatever they feel.

So you can interpret it to not be gay if you want… it is open ended when it says “do whatever you feel” so if you don’t feel like having gay sex then you can substitute whatever you want in there instead of gay sex. So it’s technically not about having gay sex at the YMCA. Technically.

Bottom line is if you think the song is catchy and like doing the fun dance routine, you don’t have to feel like it makes you gay if you do the dance. Just do whatever you feel, it’s fun!

DragonTypeWyvern,

Well it was originally designed as a charitable organization to, among other things, provide temporary housing for homeless young men.

Funny thing though, it turns out the way a lot of young men ended up being homeless was bigoted Christian parents kicking them out for being gay.

brown567, in Ask a stupid question...

I’m shocked that wasn’t an option

rubythulhu,

It’s the “radio” option, they just haven’t updated the form in 40y

Online & email didn’t exist 40 years ago

IPv4 is 43 years old, and there was the arpanet before that. They probably meant Usenet with the term “online”. The first E-Mail was sent in 1971.

But tbh, I am quite impressed how early the YMCA adopted.

The internet didn’t exist at this time, but those two words did, and referred to their pre-internet equivalents.

Also, I was making a joke. But you do happen to be incorrect.

Fuck, I’m old.

Jaybob32, in Does Lemmy skew old enough for this one?

It takes 1149 licks

xia,

Or one continuous lick.

ignotum,

That’s a weird reaction to getting your toes removed, but i’m glad you’re giving the surgeon a heads up

Will someone finally explain the difference between Venom and Swarm Spiderman? Because they look the same (or would, if the Swarm had ever taken Parker).

CaptnNMorgan,

Swarm is a bunch of bugs while venom is alien black goo. I’m curious when they look the same?

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Brood! Shit, the Brood, not The Swarm. Brain fart while posting.

CaptnNMorgan,

The Brood is like a cross between the symbiotes and xenomorphs but more organized than both

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

The Venom illustrations always remind me of that Brood cover.

True. But also not just 2:04. I’d say ~¼ of them could be described in fetish terms.

There was no dessert in my home. We ate soldier style, eat, get the dishes, go back to whatever it is we were doing.
