Woah! Is this new?! I didn’t know he was making new ones!!

They're also proud of their other son, the sanitation engineer.

It's like nominative determinism but for appearance

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmhm! Yep. At least half of these words are English.

Nominative determinism: destiny based on names

Appearance is a social construct. In the modern day and age, you can take hormones and do other stuff to change your appearance

It's just a phase. Once Big Dental has used him up until he burns out, he'll do the most degrading painting work. If he's lucky, and doesn't end up in shoe cleaning or worse.

What it's like to ~~be a square because you didn't want to imitate the chaos your hippy parents put you through~~ chew 5 gum

He'll be the only one making money.

But his chance of suicide is through the roof

Instead everyone gets a subtext of "who did she cheat with?"

Edit: not everyone, just me.

They’re all brushes my dude.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The floss back there isn't.

Ngl, I thought that was a school backpack wearing a school backpack at first 😆

What? Like… in any language they’re still all bristles on a handle.

And humans are just ears on a head

But I agree with you, I just needed to say that

Now I can finally rest

So it would make just as much sense if a steel brush came out? Or a cylinder brush like for your dishes?

What about a broom? Or do brooms not count as brushes?

I think my thought process gets stuck on the fact that the parents both are brushes explicitly for paint, the same purpose but different form.

My brain just wondered how you would get a tooth brush by crossing with a paint brush. Would the 'guy' have to be a dental scraper? My mind honestly went to silly places but apparently I hit a nerve.

Guess you're overthinking a joke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I realized why - it's because this isn't funny at face value.

I like PBF a lot, but honestly, where's the joke here? There's a floss person in the background. Wouldn't this simply be normal in this world?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks to recessive genes, it's definitely possible for two paint brushes to birth another form of brush.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

And they said I was overthinking the joke...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Funny enough, I wasn't thinking that at all until you said something.

Guess someone should tell the father... or hand him a DNA kit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I feel like they're more like haircuts, and the kid could be a hairbrush or anything if he wanted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Also tell the mother while you're at it
