People magazine needs to correct their new sexiest man alive from Patrick Dempsey (which why in the first place) to Markiplier and issue a formal apology immediately.

I’m down voting not because it’s not funny, but because these jokes are too dangerous to dumb people.

The moon landing being faked, vaccines causing autism, the earth being flat, lizard people controlling the world. These jokes get a lot less funny when people actually start to believe them. There’s already enough “young earthers” out there voting without memes like this.

I get it (and upvoted your comment) but I think that people who believe this is serious are already too far gone. This specific meme is not going to make a person believe that this is what atheists think. If they agree with it that’s only because they already think like that.

Exactly. This isn’t anyone’s grampa.

It’s their great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grampa.

Actually I’m pretty sure it’s a contemporary fish.

Though fish may be atheistic, so it might just be some grampa.

Nah that’s a misunderstanding of evolution, it’s an extremely distant cousin

Not trying to shit on you or anything, but that’s a tremendously sad and cynical way to view memes :(

Pickle_Jr, in This is super serious you guys

I am going to dissect the fun out of this meme, and say that dissecting memes is part of what makes memes engaging 😎.

If there isn’t an in-depth analysis of the meme as well as an argumentative debate where we have to choose sides and require moderator intervention in the comments, then what’s the point of making a meme 😎?

flambonkscious,

Fuck you guys, I’m defederating!

cramola, in Not inaccurate

Yeah if I could look like Legolas forever I might do that. As it stands I’m headed in the direction of depressed middle aged father but less handsome so idk

WalrusDragonOnABike, in "Get out of my room, Helen!"

White and I've always called my moms by their first names. Makes it less confusing.

slurpeesoforion,

Check this lucky guy over here with not only two parents, but they’re both moms.

bdonvr,

I have three mothers, though I don’t call them by their first names.

LetterboxPancake,

Checksum then? First few characters?

AntiGuide,

Just make sure to use a fast hash and not a secure one. Makes your responses generate faster.

LetterboxPancake,

How many mothers do you have that it makes a real world difference? I’d guess up until 1000 you wouldn’t really notice depending on your hardware. You could cache them as well.

RGB3x3,

How does that work if you don’t mind me asking? Are they all married or is it like a “3’s Company” kind of thing?

bdonvr,

Parents got divorced, father remarried (stepmother). Then transitioned to female 🏳️‍⚧️ (still married)

CADmonkey, in Not inaccurate

Depressed middle age father here, and this tracks. I seem to get a lot of positive attention from women of all ages, and I refuse to believe that I’m good looking.

slurpeesoforion,

If my spirit weren’t broken, I’d have women climbing me like rhesus monkeys.

RaoulDook,

I made the same point as this meme a few days ago in a thread about young men having “muscle dysphoria” because they think they aren’t buff enough to get attention from ladies. It was generally unpopular and people didn’t believe me.

But it’s the truth, that most women aren’t looking for huge muscled buff guys, and they are attracted to guys with normal physiques. I have known many very hot women and many of them were with skinny guys, some were with fat guys. Few of them had partners that were buff muscle guys. I’m overweight but I move through life with self-confidence and women love that, I get more attention that I should.

ChillDude69,

That’s what I thought. IMHO, hostile architecture is the physical-world equivalent of a lot of the policies that led us to flee Reddit, Twitter, etc.

Pluckerpluck,

My first thought. You could put up three 2 person benches there without too much trouble. It’d still look fine with spaces between so people can sit alone.

@creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

Can someone explain why the op had to specify white. Like do black people call their parents by name normally?

GBU_28, (edited )

Apparently people think white kids do this but I never heard it growing up, so I guess it’s a generalization that my well informed but anecdotal experience doesn’t support

creditCrazy,
@creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

For me growing up in a very mono race state really does helped with making we completely oblivious to race stereotypes. Ether that or just everyone being too preoccupied with antique cars and maple syrup to care about race.

Hitsujikai, (edited )

I’m white, and my and my partner’s families mostly do this in jest or to quickly grab attention because “Meredith!” gets attention in public much faster than “Mom!” does lol I didn’t think it was only a white people thing.

Edit: just generalizing, but I think it might be the idea that a black person wouldn’t do this under any circumstances? Whereas it’s joked somewhat often (at least by my black friends) that white people can get away with more “insubordination” in their families compared to black people. That’s my theory but I’d love to hear other perspectives lol

TimewornTraveler, (edited )

maybe it’s a true story??? I don’t see the meme saying “all” anywhere. it’s a story about a black kid and a white kid. can we not do the “i dont see race!” thing? please?

TurboDiesel,
@TurboDiesel@lemmy.world avatar

The trope is your typical suburban, middle class white family are soft parents who let their kids get away with murder. You’ve seen the type - parents whose kids are on an absolute rampage and their response is to squat down and say, “Now Kayydenn, we don’t do that here.” The implication being that if the non-white kid did that their parents would beat the hell outta them.

NB: I’m whiter than Wonder bread and 35 and I still wouldn’t dare call my mother by her first name.

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Then I think of the parents that throw their shoe/flip flop at a misbehaving kid. I don’t think first name reference would be used there either.

bdonvr,

la chancla

A_Very_Big_Fan,

whose kids are on an absolute rampage and their response is to squat down and say, “Now Kayydenn, we don’t do that here.”

Retail workers know this all too well. I have a regular customer at our store’s gas station that actually rewards her kid for this behavior, and the most punishment he gets is her sternly yelling “Keagan!!!”

He once took a squeegee out of the bucket and started splashing his mom, then after she wrestled it away from him he just went and got another and kept doing it. Then when she came back to the window to order her cigarettes, she gave him the change and said “let’s go, sweetie. :)” as she walked away, soaked in blue windshield cleaner. You can’t make this shit up.

Another time he pressed the emergency stop button at the window, which canceled all of the other customer’s orders. When she came up to the window for cigarettes, she said she hoped it wasn’t too much of a pain, and I informed her that refunding all of the discounts was, in fact, a huge pain. All she had to say for herself was “oh. sorry 😬” and then she bought him a Reese’s.

When she doesn’t let him out of the car, he will jump in the driver’s seat and lay on the horn. When she lets him out, he’ll toss the nozzles off of the pump, tear the napkins out of the dispensers, throw the squeegees into the road, knock over our cones, and play with whatever cleaning supplies he can find in our shed, which is unlocked now because he managed to break the lock. All while his mom is trailing behind him, cleaning up his messes half as fast as he can make new ones. At least she cleans everything up, but she is truly pathetic.

I’m genuinely curious how this kid is gonna turn out when he grows up.

TurboDiesel,
@TurboDiesel@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yeah. I firmly believe every single American should be forced to work either retail or food service for 1 year. Maybe it’ll teach them some goddamn empathy.

My worst was working for Best Buy. One Christmas someone’s hellspawn decided that if he didn’t get a new PlayStation he was going to knock over the DVDs. All of them. It was like a cartoon; he just sprinted down the aisle with his arm out cackling like a tiny Joker.

SpaceNoodle, in Not inaccurate

Henry Cavill is a muscle hunk, tho.

But he’s also a big nerd so that kinda makes up for it.

BruceTwarzen,

But even he doesn't look like in man of steel on a Thursday morning. He looks like that after he got a good pump and not eating and drinking for days.
I'm still gay for cavill tho

SpaceNoodle,

Yeah it doesn’t look like he had a mustache Photoshopped out in that photo

UndercoverUlrikHD, (edited )
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

There was an old reddit thread were one woman argued that women arent attracted to “gym rats” and used Henry Cavill as an example of a man with a physique who doesn’t spend hours in the gym everyday.

People who doesn’t do resistance training have a negative amount of knowledge of what it takes to get in “shape”.

RBWells,

Henry Cavill? The guy who played Superman and Geralt of Rivia? Nobody can possibly think he got that body by sitting around. That’s like saying guys don’t think Lady Gaga wears makeup on stage. He’s not just fit, he’s built out.

Any actor is someone who is selling their looks as part of the package. However they look, it is a choice and they put effort into it. Even Jack Black.

SpaceNoodle,

I do “resistance training.” I resist going to the gym, and eat cheese instead.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

A good workout is so satisfying though, and you’ll be even more hungry afterward, so you can eat even more cheese if you’d like.

SpaceNoodle,

That’s a waste of precious cheese-eating time.

PhlubbaDubba,

Henry Caville gets his physique through sheer willpower put into manifesting his dreams to one day be Captain General Trajann Valoris

@RandomStickman@kbin.social avatar

The only non-muscle hunk in this image is Jack Black (famously the poster boy for unconventionally attractive man, where the picture chosen is a younger and skinnier one), Joseph Quinn, and mayyybee Jeremy Allen White.

The nerve of putting Orlando fucking Bloom as Legolas or Cavill as The Witcher as "little". This disconnect is unfathomable.

This meme really gets the rise out of me because I agree with the sentiment but the example they chose are so bad.

casmael,

Yeah fucking hell Henry Cavill is literally superman omg

poppy,

Jeremy Allen White is jacked as hell

media.gq-magazine.co.uk/…/Jeremy-Allen-White.jpg

Rodeo,

The sentiment isn’t even true unless you’re in an urban center or in Europe.

Small town North American women love muscle dummies. There’s fuckin swarms of them in my town. Go to the bar and the only men there are roided up muscle dummies with swarms of women rallying around them.

It’s just fuckin wrong. Plenty of stupid women out there who just want a hunk of meat for a boyfriend.

I don't know, man. I was at Fire Island last summer and saw some BIG bears

captainlezbian, (edited )

Yeah I’m in the leather community and Midwestern bears span the whole spectrum of neat to slob

peopleproblems,

So I like the idea of being a big cuddly bear right? I’m 6’, big everywhere, and got gnarly hair.

But like I don’t get how to dress in a non-intimidating and non-slob way that is also comfortable.

Like right now I’m wearing a camo sweatshirt and sweatpants. Or I wear an oversized button up long sleeve shirt and khakis.

I don’t look cuddly, to me, I look like my dad
