Powerful Magicks... Don't go talking to the Mage's Guild about this.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Fascinating women with cheese may still be legal in CyrodiiI, but few will admit to it now that the Mage's Guild has banned it.

Farewell.

How does one become sponsored by Big Parm? Just asking for personal reasons...

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 124 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Big Parma" heh

[–] protist@mander.xyz 37 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Big Parma has the government in its pocket, just look at SCOTUS recently overturning the Chevre doctrine

Big Parma is responsible for the Fontina epidemic that is ravaging our rural communities.

Be Italian. Be bueatiful. Aquire fame through accomplishments your county takes pride in. Then probably go talk to the parm merchant-kings.

...anyone else thinking of going down and getting a cheese wheel for yourself?

[–] BobbyNevada@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah! Let's go fuck that cheese!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s a gouda idea!

These photos feel so... gosh, what's the right word ... corny?

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Cheesy!

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Naw, I donno, maybe nutty?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Cheesy!

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Spicy? I think it's pretty spicy tbh.

It looks like AI images. Perfect woman with a big smile and doing a strange thing.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 69 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not AI. It's real. She's just Italian.

[–] teletext@reddthat.com 68 points 3 months ago (2 children)

AI = Artificial Italian?

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 75 points 3 months ago

AI = Actual Italian

These are so odd they look AI generated.

I know those are probably prop cheese wheels, but I can't help but think they could've made a lot of money selling the ones she did the splits on.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My god, lol. That's some good business sense though.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If I lacked morals and self respect I'd be a very wealthy man indeed.

I think you should spend less time on the Internet.

This looks like AI, I know it isn't, but it's just bizarre enough that my brain goes "nope can't be real."

I’ve never felt love so strongly until this very moment

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I think the real question we all you to be asking yourself, is what has kept you from getting a sponsorship from big cheese?

jfc isn't that like a 100lb wheel of cheese?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

~80lbs is the usual weight.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My wife was a college gymnast when I met her. She was ridiculously strong, I was scaroused. Gymnasts are not from this planet. That weight would be no problem for most.

Edit: on second look, her hands aren’t clasped and fingers loosely interlinked, probably fake cheese but my above comment still stands.

I don't know why but these pictures remind me of AI generated (not saying they are)!

She's Italian. So... yup.

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Wow! She demolished that cheese wheel, how long did it take her to eat that much cheese?

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 31 points 3 months ago

Truly she is the Dragonborn
