Niiice, but I need to take care of my niece, tomorrow!

This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.

The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Any future partner better match my energy LOL

I suddenly got a hankering for some peanuts...

[โ€“] Soulg@ani.social 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis

[โ€“] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 minutes ago

They are the result of years of slowly obtaining them. They are pretty much the only thing(s) of value that I own! Really love them a lot. ๐Ÿ’•

If she doesn't have a Peepy of her own yet, it's your obligation to get her one! ๐Ÿซต And if she already has one, she needs more.

Not sure why he's praying, you'd think a titan wouldn't have time for that sort of thing

[โ€“] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 17 minutes ago (1 children)

He's about to tell you something that's going to be difficult for you to hear.

[โ€“] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 minutes ago

Nothing's difficult for me to hear! I have the best hearing in the world! My ears are so strong, people always tell me

[โ€“] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 50 minutes ago (2 children)

Praying? Look at how he is dressed... He is clearly about to go in for a 2 handed karate chop.

[โ€“] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 minutes ago

Shit, you're right!

[โ€“] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 1 points 47 minutes ago

We used to call that Kirk-fu.

I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

[โ€“] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago

Thats scolopenders right. Are there venomous centipedes?

[โ€“] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 29 points 13 hours ago (3 children)
[โ€“] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

"Hot" in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.

[โ€“] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 1 hour ago

Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I'm not opposed to keeping hots but I'm also a safety oriented person.

[โ€“] tal@lemmy.today 18 points 13 hours ago

Don't kink-shame.

[โ€“] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 15 points 13 hours ago

They're like a hundred degrees, centigrade.

If you ever change your mind, you can just move into my place. Nobody invited the centipedes, yet every spring those creepy bastards find their way in.

My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:

In my living room at the time:

All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

70% sure she just married me for the TV.

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The other 30% was the Dreamcast.

Edit: Where can I get a TV exactly like that? I assume you had to hunt for years and/or restore?

[โ€“] mogoh@lemmy.ml 37 points 14 hours ago

She, for sure, did mot married you for your cable management.

[โ€“] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 42 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

"Honey, will you marry me?"

um, I dunno...

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

[โ€“] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Yo PSOE1&2? I'd have married you too.

[โ€“] toynbee@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

That's an awesome TV.

Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?

[โ€“] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke...

a bit strange but I don't really see the problem tbh. Are these references I'm not getting? I recognize joker and thanos.

[โ€“] 474D@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

The Thanos poster has been "alpha-male"-ified and the joker is a cringe incel reference. The fact you don't know is a good thing.

[โ€“] Zetta@mander.xyz 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (2 children)

How is the joker an incel reference? Great movie

Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.

Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.

So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That's really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.

[โ€“] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 33 minutes ago

The movie itself isn't a problem, But the kind of person that fancies the joker and Thanos has role models are. It's one thing to appreciate the dark side it's another to idolize it.

The movies aren't the problem.

[โ€“] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, I'm not really into comics that are only funny to people who are terminally online.

[โ€“] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

How is joker an incel reference? O.o

[โ€“] CreativeShotgun@lemmy.world 3 points 51 minutes ago

He's one of those pseudo icons or idols of weird guys who think being edgy or "deranged" is cool.

[โ€“] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly I am somewhat confused too. I think the joker movie joker is kinda incel ref because he is kinda an incel and kinda hates women (I don't remember the movie too well)

That seems to be the dark knight joker tho. So idk.

And honestly dark knight joker is amazing. Like I like the movie because the joker is a great villain in this movie.

[โ€“] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think even calling Phoenix's Joker incel is bit of a stretch. I've also only seen it long ago in theater, but I recall there was only a small part his imagined romance but it was only small contributor or result of his mental issues, and his hate was more so on the people abusing him, didn't really strike me as a woman hating incel in any way

[โ€“] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 25 minutes ago

I am not arguing that he is and I don't think the people calling it a incel ref are saying that he is. I think they are saying that he is weirdly deli about a woman and is popular with a lot of incels because he is relatable for them. (Hating society is a way and kinda delulu about women)

Also I want to repeat, I might misremember stuff.

[โ€“] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't think the joker hated women at all in Joker. As far as I remember his attitude to both genders is the same.

[โ€“] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 28 minutes ago

Maybe I misremember but he was kinda delulu about a woman, no?

[โ€“] josefo@leminal.space 21 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

What's the yellow figurine?
