Ask Lemmy

My 8 yo kid. Got a higher belt in BJJ, and told me he wants to keep all hist old belts to show them to his grandkids one day.

I was walking my young dog on the waterside trail of a local park. She saw some ducks swimming along and immediately tried to run after them. Straight into the water. She was immediately full of regret (it was kind of deep and she hadn't been swimming before). Had to help her out, but it was pretty hilarious.

So today I was heating leftovers in the microwave for lunch. I had a pretty thick piece of garlic toast that, instead of laying it on its side like normal people do, I decided to stand it up on its edge. The sight of the rotating upright garlic toast, coupled with the accompanying triumphant music I made up in my head for it, made me laugh way more than is probably rational. I may also be slightly sleep deprived today.

I saw a turtle and I tried to photograph it, but the picture came out blurry, like the turtle was moving too quickly.

(This was coming back to the store, not leaving)

Saw a computer whose complaint was “won’t charge” and the entire charging port was gone alongside the surrounding casing

my bird chasing after my dogs tail as she goes away from his cage like hes driving her off. then he struts around like. thats right. you run.

Kid got stuck between the couch and window. Managed to crawl in, but didn't realise he could crawl backwards to get out.

my dog jumping into a bush and donking herself on a street pole while doing so. total cartoon moment.

Today I tried out Sennheiser's HD 800 S and the sound was so good, I didn't know how to mentally and physically process the experience, which ultimately made me laugh intermittently. The customers and clerks at the store looked at me, of course.

My sister hit herself in the head with a brick after I jokingly told her to do it. We are both in our 30s.

A friend of mine went to a Ukulele festival two weeks ago. He thought it would be good (small village locals and others). They advertised a "places going fast" bus trip to see the local hotspots and historical sites as part of the things to do in the festival. We were sitting outside the pub (one of the only hot days of the year this year so far) and this bus came up the hill towards us and all we could hear was ukulele music as it got closer. when the bus turned we could see the side view and him sitting on the bus with an EXTREMELY pissed off head on him, listening to the ukuleles and not able to get off until the bus had gone full circle..

Kid and I each rounded a corner in the house and literally ran into each other. We had a hearty laugh! I love hearing his joy.

Hearing my uncle and cousin bicker after he kept making a duck noise that annoyed her. The father, daughter thing they have is a riot.

I thought of a funny moment from teenage years and burst out laughing

We recently moved and don’t have a fence up in our yard yet, so we’re having to take the dog out on her leash. My wife was walking her around the back yard and the dog was very intently sniffing the ground, following a trail that must’ve been very recent. Meanwhile she never noticed that about 15 feet (4.5 meters) away was a cat happily laying on its back and bathing itself. We’re guessing the cat is what our dog was snelling but she never saw it, completely oblivious.

I was sent a small package via USPS from the next state over, and it arrived to me in a single day. I was so shocked, I laughed out loud.

It was about 18 hours, end to end, so it could easily have been two days, but I’m still very surprised.

Saw a kid being driven around in one of those big plastic electric toy cars but it was remote controlled. Seemed like fun - I wanted to go ask when's my turn.
