Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I was a CNC operator for years before I heard the other meaning for CNC. Now when I see online discussions about CNC all I can think is "that slutty Mazak".

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm gonna go call my Haas a dirty little whore.

"Yeah you like that don't you. Yeah gobble up those chips. Oh you're so messy you got coolant eeeeverywhere"

To be fair I don't know what the other meaning of CNC is, I just like freaking out the apprentice.

I just like freaking out the apprentice.

A worthwhile endeavour.

Oh you're so messy you got coolant eeeeverywhere"

She's soaked, look, you can see her drip.

I work in engineering and only kow about the real CNC (ie machining). What's this other garbage imposter acronym stealer?

[–] Smallwater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

"consensual non-consent"

Rape play.

Every time I see EDM thrown around my brain reads it as Electronic Death Metal. I know that's not what it means, but I wish it did.

Oh yeah, it definitely means Electronic Dance Music... or maybe Electro Discharge Machining. Who's to say

Make it a thing please, I'll join you if I can convince enough friends

This is excellent, thank you!

Here’s another one! Alas, not death metal specifically, but electro+metal!

HORSE The Band - Birdo

The number of people who'd post on r/CNC (the machining one) looking for the other thing was low, but never zero...

[–] heydo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ok so I see what the CNC one is, but what does CBT stand for? Cock butt taint therapy?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 14 points 2 years ago

Cock and Ball Torture lol

Consensual non-consent. People into rape fantasies.

[–] Borkingheck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah throw me into a back of a van kink. Fair enuff.

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Command and conquer

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anyone into me? Did I hear that right?

Classic UCO situation. Or Ucho, as we would call it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What's the other CNC? Command 'n' Conquer? 🤔

Edit: Also would add PnP to this list. As a techie, I immediately think of Plug'n'Play. But it has an entirely different meaning on dating apps/personal ads.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe your therapist knows that some play rape and cock and balls torture WOULD do you some good and you're just not hearing it. Kevin. Goddamn.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I work as an accountant and my old boss - younger than me, mind you - always abbreviated the intercompany accounts (Due to/From) as DTF. To this day I have no idea if he was trolling us or really had not heard the acronym used, he never once broke.

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Please also be mindful before trying to abbreviate "sales & marketing" in company emails.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had a civil service job working at a hospital. Three letter abbreviations were my life

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I used to work at IBM. We have used all of them, including letters, numbers, special characters, whistles and cartoon characters.

[–] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

Who doesn't love CNC CBT?

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

consuming neck cartillage?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Probably Consensual non-consensuality, a BDSM practice

Just kidding, my CNC stands for “ChaoticNeutralCzech”. Actual source
