Just wait until they hear that school buses are a mode of transport.

[–] aiden@lemm.ee 108 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Or that their huge truck has transmission 😲

They'll have to open it up and clean out all the gender fluid so it'll run better.

[–] RatBin@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Just you wait, we have trans and cis molecules and chemical compunds.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 7 months ago

I hope they don't have transparent, nor even translucent windows.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Talk to their mechanic about a tranny and it may just grind your gears.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Or that virtually every time they go to the bank they engage in transactions!

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 7 months ago

Or that Europe-America Internet traffic goes through a transoceanic link

[–] Maddier1993@programming.dev 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That would never transpire. Their brains only have transcient learning capabilities.

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 153 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I don't give a fuck about sending my children on a trans field trip. Everyone should be comfortable and happy with their bodies. Spreading knowledge and education on the subject is key to achieving this!

Fuck dentists though! They just like to SCRAPE at your teeth. They make your gums BLEED. They charge you money for these OBSCENE services?!? They think they are so smart because they are a dOcToR.

If you are trans, that is cool and I love you for who you are. However, you won't get a pass from me for spreading your dentalism ideologies to my kids!!! 😀😀😀😀 πŸ¦…πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ¦…πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

Just in case, because the Internet is weird: this comment was satire. My dentist is actually a cool dude and my dental hygienist is amazing.

Take care of your teeth y'all! 🦷πŸͺ₯

You only get one set, and it's a long life!

I hate the aftertaste of coffee. Simply using GUM Soft Picks and brushing my teeth after my morning coffee in addition to my before-bed brushing has really improved my dental health.

[–] thedevisinthedetails@programming.dev 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

too late. am now an anti-dentite. you convinced me.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 10 points 7 months ago

I will board this train because it is here.

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Holy guerrilla marketing, batman!

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I see that now on my third re-read. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

I am practicing my proper grammar skills. I read somewhere that you are supposed to italicize products when you use them in a sentence and I wanted to try it for some dumb reason.

If it helps, I am not a bot nor do I strictly endorse this product. Traditional floss and floss picks are way better.

I only like this product because I have a permanent retainer, flossing to get under this thing is a pain.

In the spirit of good health, something is better than nothing!

don't tell me how to live my life commences chewing on gravel

Found the Goron!

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

This dude's dentist definitely killed him and jacked his account after that first comment.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 32 points 7 months ago

What are you? Some kind of anti-dentite?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Dentists hate calculus. They just want people to follow their orders and not ask any questions. Brush in a circle! No bloody gums! You need to floss more. BECAUSE I SAID SO.

Dentists are the petty tyrants of our boney hole.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 89 points 7 months ago

What do you call a nun with a sex change?

A transistor.

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 86 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Same crowd that hates democracy because it sounds like β€œDemocrat”.

[–] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 53 points 7 months ago (1 children)

...Is this an element behind the "we're a republic, not a democracy" bullshit?

I mean, I know it's nonsense, and I know it's fascists testing the waters for being openly anti-democracy, but is it also just playing into the names of the two major parties? It's so silly I genuinely never considered it before, but it's depressingly plausible.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Yes, that’s a huge part of it. β€œDemocratic” has been poisoned as word for many Republicans to the point where they can’t even discuss topics like democracy without experiencing reflexive disgust. So much of their decision making is centered around fighting things that make them feel scared or icky, it makes a twisted kind of sense.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 7 points 7 months ago

Give them a republic? Wait..

[–] wick@lemm.ee 71 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My mother once found me watching Futurama and started getting irate because she thought she heard someone say "gender bender".

Ofc, Bender Bending Rodriguez is capable and willing to bend anything, including gender, but this wasn't that episode and she was just hearing his name wrong. It's like Christians live in a waking nightmare dream state.

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

"Ofc, Bender Bending Rodriguez is capable and willing to bend anything, including gender, but this wasn't that episode"

Good save, you almost got one helluva nerd thrashing.

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 53 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I wanna go on a trans field trip. Learn about trans history, do some workshops learning about practical trans stuff and legal things, and that sorta stuff. I also think being given the chance to at least try out crossdressing would be pretty good for young students, not to "make them trans" but maybe build some more understanding. Don't force them, but give them the chance to do it

In my country there is this place which helps you crossdress

Imagine! We could all be treated by professionals to explore different presentations and they could teach us all about trans history

Don't bore us too much with the details though

[–] 56_@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

My school (when I was very young) had a fancy-dress day. I remember multiple people cross-dressing there.

[–] match@pawb.social 41 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

living by a lake growing beans and writing ~~and not paying taxes~~ is hot girl shit

This is a good test to see if someone is too stupid to be a parent.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

You need to be more transparent with people like that.

[–] shani66@ani.social 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, some people are too stupid to be considered people, imo. Sure that might make me a bad person, but at least i can say I'm a person.

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I feel this so heavily. Those that are just that braindead, and don't want to fix their braindeadedness, just drag down the rest of society. Like do we really gotta spare resources for hateful mouthbreathers that mob mentality on anything they don't understand? Like, if they're going to hate entire swaths of people for no good reason, they deserve to be hated.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 16 points 7 months ago

Wait until the mechanic tells them that their transmission is having issues:

Stop turning my car gay!

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Just wait until they hear about his other famous work "civil disobedience"

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What happens when they learn their cars have automatic transmission?

My car has a mission to automatically turn me trans?

The Conspiracy runs deep!
