This is just anecdata, but something that I find really funny is that of all the lesbian couples in which there appears to be a butch and a femme, people seem to expect that the more "masculine" of the two will be the one to dispatch spiders and other scary critters, but it always seems to be the more feminine one.

This is a sample size of 6 couples, so it's obviously not representative, but I find it funny nonetheless

I appreciate you making a screen cap of this. Every once in a while my wife will show me a TikTok video of someone just pointing to some text - and I read the text but keep watching the video just waiting for something to happen. Annoys the shit out of me every time.

[–] thal3s@sh.itjust.works 8 points 18 hours ago

Thanks! A good portion of TikTok’s are just tweets with live video, so screenshots are my preferred way of sharing.

Latinas be like: *scoffs* "You're such a little bitch. I'll do it myself."

There's a story about a raid by viking in a Scandinavian village where the mens of that village having hard time repelling the raiders, a woman then grabbed a sword, run outside, and slap her chest, which scared away the raiders.

I can't remember where i heard that from and not sure if that's true, but i want to believe.

You may be thinking of Freydís Eiríksdóttir and her (alleged) experience in Vinland.

As men fled during the confusion, Freydís, who was eight months pregnant, admonished them, saying: "Why run you away from such worthless creatures, stout men that ye are, when, as seems to me likely, you might slaughter them like so many cattle? Let me but have a weapon, I know I could fight better than any of you."

Ignored, Freydís picked up the sword of the fallen Thorbrand Snorrisson and engaged the attacking natives. Surrounded by enemies, she undid her garment and beat the sword upon her breast.

Ohh yes this. She's my hero. Not the colonising part though.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

My hearing is way better than my wife's so I typically just know what sounds are. But they got me in sight, I can't find jack shit. Which is funny because my eyesight is actually better, I'm just bad at spotting.

My eyesight is shit (about -7.0 prescription lenses to correct) but my favorite game will always be these books I had as a kid called “I Spy” which functioned like a word search but only with pictures of little cutouts of various objects on a super messy but visually pleasing photograph of a themed environment on each double-page of the extra large but pretty thin (only about 20 puzzles per book or so), books.

Top notch training for me as a kid to navigate organized chaos, and find things around the room which had not been put away in any sensible spot after its last use.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Women seem far better at spotting, no idea why. It's why they get frustrated with us guys, "Hey can you find thing?", and we're staring right at it. Can't find any evidence to back that, just personal experience with many women.

Buddy system says we both go, whatever our genders, except where someone has to keep the door from slamming shut and trapping us.

Does that mean gay partner have no such weakness

The top gets sent to look and see what the noise is.

they both have to go see, douboe whammy

My friends in Alabama are like, "Yes, thank God, finally an opportunity to use all these guns I purchased."

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

My wife is better at patching up injuries and dealing with blood, so it just makes sense.

Everyone’s a feminist until there is a spider around.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I love spiders, really like to see them; but they don't have a chance against the cats. The cats play small creatures to death.

Palmetto bugs though? I am so irrationally freaked out by them, I do ask the man, or my kids, to handle those. There was a next top model episode where the ladies walked with big hissing cockroaches, pet ones, and I would have been right out of there like a rocket.

But ask me to hold your pet tarantula? Heck yes! Cute fuzzy spider.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

2nd night in Florida I was renting a shitty room and the bathroom didn't have a light. Something was flapping around in there, thought, "How the hell a bat get in here?" Turned on my flashlight and saw my first palmetto bug.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Yeah. For me it's be like: if we die then at least we'll die together.

NOW WIFE, PREPARE THE FALCONUS GIGANTICUS FOR COMBAT, FOR WE RIDE NOW INTO BATTLE ON THE PEREGRINE WINGS OF GENDER EQUALITY AND RECIPROCAL ORAL SEX, BUT IN A MORE IMPORTANT, MORE LITERAL WAY ON THE WINGS OF THIS BIG ASS BIRD.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My partner and I are both feminists, but I still take care of the big spiders.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Pro-tip: become a principled spider advocate. "I think they do more good than harm if you just leave them be. If you want it out, you can deal with it..."

"babe no that's steve, she's an orb weaver and will just stay there and eat the flies that keep getting in. yes she's named steve stop being insensitive"

And they expect you to investigate while they cling like a crawdad to your shirt and arm, so you have no chance of defending yourself or them.

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

The word "crawdad" will always remind me of this comic

Just throw them in front of the danger. They're your human shield.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

That's when you go in the other room and playact confronting a hellish apparition.

"Foul beast leave this abode! By might and right I banish thee!" Then go back and get all the snuggles.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The noise has no skin, a sharp implement, and lurches in staccato.

Best of luck, buddy.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this a quote from something? It's beautiful

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It’s just something I made up, but I did just finish out a 13k short story for a board game studio. My English has gotten good enough that people will pay me for it, so there’s that.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude’s in The Mist, run you fools!

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

Myst barely had any mist but was quite beautiful.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

I can tell you that you'd either better be good at dealing with bugs or you'd better be comfortable with both of us screaming.
