Butterflies, obviously.

PBS butterfly man made the frogs gay.

is that how you became lady butterfly?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 day ago

Yep that's my origin story

I reckon it must be over 20 years since I last heard this song.

This comment isn't about nostalgia or reminiscing. You ruined something good by making me listen to this again.

We duel at dawn.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As you're the challenger, I get to choose weapons. I choose Norse Mythology trivia.

Also, dawn doesn't really work for me, how about 8-ish?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

8-ish is a little early for me. By 'Dawn', I really meant somewhere around 10:30. I am amenable to your terms. I played Age of Mythology and watched (some of) the Marvel movies, clearly that means I am an expert at Norse mythology.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'll typically be on my exercise bike at 10:30, how about noon or thereabouts?

I've played Age of Mythology and watched some of the marvel movies too. And the Valhalla cartoons. And read most of the comics it's based on. And grown up in a place where it was the actual religion before Catholics came and ruined things 😁

The mistake was not choosing DDR battle and playing butterfly. Even if you lose, so will they.

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

You clearly have no idea how uncoordinated a viking hippie with ADHD and disproportionately short legs can be if you think I could ever win a DDR battle against any sapient being, or even try without hating it with a passion 😄

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

God that is an absolutely awful song. And it's stuck in my head

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you didn’t want to get boy-pregnant by an articulate science man, you shouldn’t have stated that you wanted to get boy-pregnant by the articulate science man on the getting boy-pregnant by the articulate science man website.

Sometimes- often, really, I wonder whether modern society has failed entirely and we are all simply waiting for the inevitable catastrophe that will wipe our collective misery from the universe. But then I find something to help me persist. Thank you, preganat emojis

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Only one way to find out

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do I tell if my emoji is pregananate?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Usually you can tell if someone is proageante when they are

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

And these emoji can't frgth back?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't know what you want. Lobotomized human-bots that speak only in pre-approved politically correct ways?

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

For people to be brave enough to allow others to exist independent of their desires, mostly. That and the Epstein files.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wrong person to tell that to. I'm digging in more and more into basically being anti-social. I don't want to care about other people anymore, and I have a solar charger as a first step in not using electricity produced by others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That sucks, man. The human brain is fundamentally structured to desire human interaction and empathy, and denying it that is tantamount to a vow of silence. I imagine you’ve experienced a lot of hurt to have come to the conclusion that you have- that excising an intrinsic piece of yourself is worth ending your pain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I just realized I can't be like a normal person ever, I just got something missing. And trying to help people tends to hurt or offend them. So I just resigned to what's realistic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

That sounds relatable. Just wanted to add another voice letting you know you're not alone!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I’ve been in the same place, and it gets better, if it gets better. Good fucking god, does it suck until you see the starting line, and even after reaching 500 yards, you’ll stumble, eat shit, and then stand up awkwardly as the race continues.

This might seem odd, but If you ever need someone to talk to, feel welcome in shooting me a pm. No one deserves to be entirely alone.

Edit: but be aware, lemmy pms are public, so don’t share anything that you aren’t comfortable with another person peeking in on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Thank you for the offer! I am grateful that people like you exist, and will keep you in mind.

Username checks out.

I need to see this beautiful butterfly man from the PBS.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

It seems his name is Bryan Pfeiffer.

All lepidopterists are entomologists, but not all entomologists are lepidopterists.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

not all entomologists are lepidopterists.

Only the FABULOUS ones 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Nice try. That's a dinosaur.
