This is what the Internet should be. No more Facebook. No more Nazis. No more Elon Musk.

I'm starting to feel like "rawdog" means something entirely different to the younger generation.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 111 points 2 months ago

Only kinda. It's a permutation of how the Old Ones used it - going in without protection. Only this time you're taking on life without a condom for your mental health.

in case you're serious - rawdogging in today's slang means doing something without the usual assistance. Eg. rawdogging work by not drinking coffee before it, rawdogging mental illness without taking meds, rawdogging the internet without an adblock

yes it does come from the sex

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 29 points 2 months ago

And is still used for the sex. Though in that context it's usually stated as "going in raw" or "hitting it raw"

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yep, its new, additonal meaning is roughly equivalent to 'no safeguards' 'training wheels off' 'straight into the deep end' 'balls to the wall' 'EXTREME' ... yeah, doing something in a very 'hardcore' way that is much more likely to result in tragedy or pain or destruction if you don't know exactly what you're doing, because the otherwise normal or helpful safety/protection mechanisms aren't present.

Alina@grldick.gay is as close to shitposting as Mastodon gets (and we support her for it)

That's one hell of a URL

I had no idea .gay was a valid tld.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

x.gay is for sale for $2,900 a year, as are elonmusk.gay and trump.gay. gay.gay is on sale for $28,000, and butt.gay is $1000 per year.

Apparently nobody wants to pay that much for them since none of them are registered

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's twice as expensive as .com, but worth it imo- I use it for my private practice website/email

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Therapy.Gay?

[–] spamfajitas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago

IIRC a portion of the registration profit goes to LGBT advocacy organizations.

The domain names also tend to be surprisingly cheap, from what I've seen.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 months ago

.love is also valid :D

Can someone explain what this actually means? What’s a puppy girl? Are we talking about throwing people in cages?

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 67 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

gen z: Roughly the generation currently in their teens to twenties.

dommes - Sexual dominants, as opposed to subs. Specifically female in this case, with "doms" being the masculine/gender-neutral variant.

puppygirls - Dog equivalent of a catgirl. A girl who takes on visual and personality traits of a puppy to various extents, often as a form of sexual play.

dogcage - Where you put your puppygirl when she's been chewing on the remote or peeing on the rug.

rawdog - To experience something "raw", without any aides to make the experience safer or more tolerable.

Translation: It's incredulous that young sexual dominants allow their submissives to use their phones while in their cage. It lessens the experience!

[–] match@pawb.social 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The dogcage can also just be where your puppygirl likes to sleep! It is stable and confined and may help your puppygirl be less anxious. To that extent, do not let your puppygirl doomscroll while in her cage!

[–] hobovision@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tfw my puppygirl keeps peeing on the rug instead of on my front lawn

[–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

At least with puppygirls, you both enjoy rubbing her face in the puddles.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

shouldn't dominants be shortened to doms instead? like submissive is shortened to subs, not subbes? or was this written by a French person?

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

For reasons unknown to me, we gender it the french way - a dom is male, a domme is female.

May be a thing that developed online in order to not annoyingly misunderstand esch other

Average nix user

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh great, now I'm afraid I'm going to wind up being posted here when I use Sharkey xD

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only if you make a banger post

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Me am be have trying

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It kinda depends on the reason for cage time. If it's a punishment then the phone is weird. But if they are sleeping in it for the night then let them have their phone until bedtime.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why again are there people with a Kink for being tortured in inhuman ways again?

[–] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

there's some people tnst like being tortured in inhuman ways, but I wouldn't consider a cage to be that. for some people it isn't a bad thing at all, it brings them comfort and a sense of safety.
