I don’t know if it’s unbelievable good or unbelievable bad from the title.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 121 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Having gone through their post history, they're generally very appreciative of simple things and beautiful sights, so I'd assume unbelievably good =)

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 79 points 1 month ago (4 children)

You are correct. I can't believe we actually did it. (We're back now.)

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

As long as you had fun, nothing else mattress

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Daaaaad. Get off the internet

I'm trying to come up with more bed puns but nothing is springing to mind.

How early did the boat traffic start? Was the place deserted enough to boink before bedtime?

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

There were only 10 tour boats in the park while we were there, according to the guide. I can only remember seeing one or two on the whole trip. We were two of us on the boat plus the crew which consisted of a guide, a captain, a helper, and a cook. They slept below. How quiet are you?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So did tell us about the muskitoes, were there nets?

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

Yes, there were mosquito nets and no, they weren't bad. I barely noticed any. We're from Northern Canada so perhaps we are immune.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I just went through your post history too (Also from Northern Ontario).

I love your adventures! Hope you post more pictures.

Wholesome internet stalking

(I use the word "stalking" in jest. I am amused because usually when one has cause to "stalk" a user's post history, it's because there's some drama or dirt that turns up. I always feel awkward and a bit vulnerable when I reflect on how people can peruse your post history at will, but I find the wholesomeness of this subverts the anxiety I usually feel at this prospect. It's scary that we can quickly find enough to summarise a person's online presence, but "generally very appreciative of simple things and beautiful sights" is a lovely thing to be, and makes me wonder how I would come across at a glance. Good, I hope — because it turns out that it is possible to have positive conversations with internet strangers)

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Ironic that you should mention dirt and drama in one's post history when you're the same person who posted this:

What is your favourite autumn soup?

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I've cooked this! Successfully! Multiple times! Some even with homegrown Hokkaido pumpkins. And it was delicious. So proud ;)

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not looking for any trouble, buddy.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmmm, I guess I never really thought to divide my soups by season.

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

You're not gonna eat pumpkin soup in the summer!? Gazpacho in winter, God forbid!?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pardon my French, but you've lost your marbles.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Well I never...

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not clear on the irony here. Or is the joke about how the autumn soup comment is like the opposite of dirt and drama?

(In hindsight, I shouldn't be surprised that my comment led to people looking at my post history)

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, it's the second one. Looking into YOUR post history to see how you like it, but posting only the most innocuous thing.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

More like snooping

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 116 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The important thing these days is: it must be Instagram worthy. That's all that matters.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You could say that's all that mattress? ... I..I show myself out

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

No, that pun was sheet

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

The picture's not terribly Instagram worthy, but it looks like a really cool trip and I'd love to do that.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ugh... Right.... Today I was at a place with my partner and a group of younger (not as in young, just younger than us) girls behind us. They were talking about some place they were familiar with and how cute it was, how they hadn't been there in so long

"That's like the most instagramable place ever!" I swear I could see the back of my skull, that's how hard my eyes rolled

Told my partner, "I guess we judge places by how instagram worthy they are.." Their reply, "so cringe"

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't use any of that stuff. Still, I don't have an issue with the language. It sounds like they just mean it's cute. I use the word "Google" to refer to web searches, but I don't use Google.

I think policing language is stupid. You can't know what they meant from what they said. They could be saying they only like it to share on social media, or it could have meant it's just really cute. I think judging the language of strangers beyond this is just a waste of energy and a good way to make yourself feel worse —I say this fully recognizing that I'm doing the same thing.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I guess that depends on whether said orangutans are brachiators or swingers? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Being swingers doesn't guarantee they'll wwnt to fuck OP though

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Ain't that always the hurdle w/ swingers, though. 😅😶‍🌫️

[–] Mpeach45@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably matters more whether mosquitoes are a problem in that area.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey, now. Don't kinkshame. Some people are totally into little pricks. 🤌🏼

[–] wulrus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Also depends on the community. Some would be like: OMG, obviously, the mattress cover has not been ironed!

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Nah that's good. A proper mattress shouldn't be taken for granted outside of the west.
