Why do people keep using dildos wrong??? Go fuck yourself!

[–] M137@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm never ok about both "dildos" and "dildoes" looking wrong. I think it should be "dildi", at least that's funny.

[–] ranzispa@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Definitely not dildi, it is not a latin word. I guess it may be derived from some latin word, but that's uncertain: in most romance languages that is a neologism introduced from English.

Someone played too much GTA San Andreas

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nah this is from Saints Row, the almighty Dildo Bat.

[–] TheVoiceOfRaison@thelemmy.club 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In San Andreas there is a secret massive black dildo weapon you could beat people with.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 5 points 5 days ago

https://gta.wiki/w/Dildo

This one? It's purple, not black and i haven't found any info on others, didn't even know there were weapons like these.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

One of two screenshots I've saved to steam; my character holding the dildobat

probably should spoil this, it's mildly nsfw

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

That's very specific.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

The weapon itself was funny, but the way the end flopped absolutely killed me.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

You have something in common with Dmitry Poloumov

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 2 points 5 days ago

I know i was dying when first got it and started beating the shit out of everyone, i need to reinstall it and have some dumb fun, not many new games these days that are going for that.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Running with the tip flailing about is fantastic, and swinging it around is hilarious

[–] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

"With a fucking dildo!"

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I'd watch the shit out of a John Wick remake where he only used dildos to kill people.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 days ago

I think you mean... John Dick

YEAHHHHH!!!

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a penis. With a fuckin' DILDO. Suddenly one day he asked to leave. It was over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day... laid the foundation of what we are now. And then, my son, a few days after his wife died… you steal his car, and kill his fuckin' dog?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 5 days ago

"Yeah--I'm thinking I'm back." *WOBBLE*

The whole time the victim was screaming "How is this physically possible?!"

Best Bad Dragon advertisement ever.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That must have been one hell of a dildo!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 3 points 6 days ago

It was just one of the deadly weapons in those Wildberry warehouses.

[–] NearUranus@thelemmy.club 3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Is this dipshit wearing Confederate battleflags on his shirt? Damn so Russian Nazis are co-opting southern racist sumbols.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, that's not a Confederate flag.

It appears to be the ensign for the Russian National Guard Navy, but the symbol is used as part of other Russian flags as well. Maybe if someone can translate the text it would help.

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The text directly above it says Noworossiya, so something like New Russia.

After checking wikipedia: its the flag of the New Russia party in the Russian occupied regions of Ukraine.

[–] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

nah, it's just simply the novorossiya flag

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Weren't German Nazis also co-opting southern racist sumbols?

[–] lazyViking@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Impossible challenge: Americans not making it about themself 🤯🤯🤯🤯
