Look, most of us are just kinda repressed and low-level horny at all times

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Software, firmware, and hardware.

Remove child from parent using fork

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Wait till you get into game development. You'll be doing a lot of parent/child relationship, and killing orphans.

Oh my god I'm sorry I compiled so fast. This never happens. You're just so pretty...

Construction is like this too.

Erection, nipples, rods, pipes, vibrators, lube, rope, caulk, penetrate, lay hardwood, and my all time favorite. “Hey Frank, come give me a reach around, I need an extra hand here”

Edit, nailing studs.

I love telling people who aren't from Cincinnati that I had a threeway with some strangers in a parking lot

That is, I ate a 3-way (Cincinnati chili, cheese, and spaghetti) in a parking lot on lunch break with some random plumbers who were also taking their break there

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

how do you know someone's from Cincinnati?

Don't worry, they'll tell you

[–] Denvil@piefed.world 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'll have you know that Cincinnati cuisine is the absolute greatest cuisine to EVER originate in Cincinnati

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

I cannot disagree. You guys need the tautology award for tautology award winners.

Some men are born great
Some men achieve greatness
... and some are from Ohio

With cargo mommy integration for all the horny people rusting

[–] explodIng_lIme@lemmy.world 75 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

That one is frowned upon by some cultures.

We used to finger our users too.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, lots of people still do! I've seen talk of using it nowadays a few separate times lately, including earlier today of someone setting it up for the first time. It's neat!

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 3 points 11 hours ago

Anyone talking about using finger nowadays should be considered very very suspect, same way you'd look at someone suggesting rlogin

I think there are 4 reasons:

  1. Most people are very horny
  2. It people are very online
  3. A lot of it people are obsessive with it, consequently easily identifiable as such.
  4. Other professions aren't as identifiable, or online.
[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 hours ago

It's all the trans girls and eggs. We tend to show up in software roles a lot, and we tend to be pretty horny.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 14 points 14 hours ago

Unzip. Finger. Fsck. Sleep.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 13 hours ago

Tell me more about Alice's brother Bob's sisters.

Maybe they can help me find a new way to decompress.
