We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

"Used to start meetings with icebreakers"

Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.

Who says cheesecake isn't a pie? It sure as hell isn't cake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that's just ice cream shaped like a cake. That's just an imposter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The only ice cream cake I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot, my in-laws love the stuff) has a layer of cookie crumbles inside. I’ve never seen a single one that has any sort of cake in it whatsoever. I also did a google before posting my comment and not a single recipe I found had cake in it either. So I’m very sorry, but no, ice cream cake does not (typically) have cake in it.

They’re a thing, people generally just don’t make them anymore because it’s super fussy.

It is atypical at this point. But that doesn't make it any less real, or what I believe an ice cream cake should be.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.

At this point smooth or crunchy peanut butter is so much of a cliché it actively bores me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

"Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?" - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

Some people may enjoy getting head from communist Pac-Man.

Who also had a fetish for armpits

Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don't scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe try living in a place that doesn't require regular skin sacrifices?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

That has nothing to do with dry skin on your legs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm just wearing pants all day, how dirty can my leg possibly get?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Showering is to remove dead skin cells, as well.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I prefer to let them rest where they fell in battle as a warning to any who would oppose my rule!

I find that the shower is the most convenient place to wash my legs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Followed very unclosely by the bidet.

If this is bro saying he doesn’t wash his ass, or his worry is because he knows his ass is stanky, then I have no idea how she’s put up with him this long.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I remember in the olden days of reddit where there was this huge thread where many people didnt wash their ass because it was "gay" or gross. I think it started with a thread about someone telling men to also wash their balls because they stink too.

Water is a terrible lubricant too, I dont recommend for seggsy time.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My old wrestling coach once felt he had to remind us to "wash behind the balls."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

You gotta get your gooch!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Cleanse the taint, as it were

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Gotta get some silicone lube for shower sexy time

Not tiktok. Stop self censoring.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I can say whatever the fuck i want. We said seggsy way before the hot garbage that is tiktok existed and you can't "stop" me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Some of the euphemisms are also just plain funnier. Committing sudoku for example is top kek.

I don't think there ever was a threat where men said that. It was someone on Twitter going "apparently men don't wash their ass because it's gay" and it spiraled from that iirc.

it always starts with "be a dear and wash your ass," then it moves on to "i need you to drive me to the hospital," and "stop fucking my sister"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There are worse things in life than having your ass washed by someone who loves you. Bonus points for the reach around handy.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

One of yous is gonna be cold with the other gets the shower water

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is the real reason to be scared. She’s gonna hog that hot water and he’s gonna freeze! Showering together seems so sexy and romantic in the movies but it’s actually just really awkward and uncomfortable!

Maybe it’s better if you got some kind of rich person giant luxury shower! Wait, of course it’s better!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The actual real threat is the temperature of the water.

If there was a "guaranteed to mutilate, superheated water vapor" option some women I've known would choose it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

They’re basically showering under the steam wand of a giant espresso machine!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

That's not the problem because you can just cuddle to warm up. The problem is when one of yous likes the water hotter than the other.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

If she wanted to wash your ass, she would have asked you to step outside and hosed you down with a garden hose with your clothes still on.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I really wanted to post a picture from the trashy rapper album K-Flex "Wash yo ass" but im on a work network right now...

i invite you to look it up though.
