Referring to another human being as "leftovers"

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And like, the setup for the "joke" isn't even reasonable. They came up with the punchline that single moms are leftovers (dehumanising as fuck) and then the best context was "2 dating people are texting about leftovers lmao" good lord

inb4 people start saying "lol taking a joke too seriously"

Is it cool to make dehumanizing jokes about men with mental health issues? Men with disabilities? Disadvantaged men who are struggling? Can I imply that they're less of a person or don't have any value because of their circumstances?

If you think about it for more than a second, it's pretty fucked up.

Cannibalism isn't OK.

The whole premise of this joke is ridiculous. Leftovers are worth eating most of the time. Waste is fucking horrible. I can't stand people who throw food out instead of saving and eating it. I literally make food in advance sometimes to be eaten later.

To add to that, leftovers should only exist when they're planned leftovers, otherwise a person should start evaluating their grocerie shopping habits

I agree most of the time but, sometimes, you just cant. Leftover salad? No. Leftover mayo? no. leftover, already half eaten sea food? NoNo.

That’s not true. They don’t need to be single to be worth eating if you’re brave.

Also pizza and chinese

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I prefer pizza and Japanese

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They're called Italians.

Seems like that would lead to a lot of food waste...

Forget MILFS. We got MILES.

O’Brien? Is that you?

Guys calm down, I think I get it. The joke is that spoiled misogynists do not get laid.

Spaghetti are awesome leftovers. (so are most pastas)

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Spaghetti also goes great in single moms.

I give my leftovers to my volcarona

Is this a sex joke, cannibal joke, or does someone literally love food prepared by single Moms?

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sex joke. "Eating out" is just slang for cunnilingus.

I do consider myself somewhat of a cunning linguist.

You might be a cunning linguist, but I am a master debater
