The problem with this old chestnut is that nut-tapping yourself is way better than walking around with a mosquito bite on your ball sack.

The real problem is you can just wave your hand near a mosquito and it will take flight again. You don’t have to rack yourself at all. And then you can go put on some undies, you savage.

Don't tell other people that! I'd look a lot weirder in public if people knew that. /j

rack yourself

I can extrapolate the meaning from context, but now I just want to play Pool.

Pocket pool in public is fun

Spoken like a slave to Big Fabric(tm)!

You want me to wave it off so it can bite me somewhere else? No thanks, I've already had dengue.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 5 months ago

A lot more fun, too

I can be violent to the mosquitoes without hurting my nuts.

I used to have testicles, and I can confidently say it's possible to squeeze a mosquito to death between your fingers while it drinks your blood.

I've also heard legends of people flexing their muscles to pop a mosquito from the blood pressure. Someone should try using an erection to kill a mosquito.

My first thought was that you learned the value of non-violence the hard way

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Haha, just dronegender and post-op

[–] SnoringEarthworm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Googling that was a journey

You know that you can use both hands to kill flies and mosquitos easy-peasy, right? It just takes a modicum of patience, and you don't have to hit yourself at all.

In other words, you need to plan your violence, instead of being impulsive with it.
