No I don't know how many come to dinner no I don't know if any of them are vegetarian yes it is at 6 o'clock.

What's not to understand?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Gotta include the unit in your answer, shoulda learned it in math class

[–] en1gma@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago

Just "yes" would be the correct answer

[–] saturn57@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The solution is that there is 6 vegetarians but there is greater than 6 people.

[–] III@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

And they definitely aren't showing up at 6pm or 6am.

Sounds like his gathering, arranged by him, with his friends.

He can prep it.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I’ve literally done this to my husband.

He didn’t prep shit and, since everyone is sexist, blamed me.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm sure you're completely free from fault otherwise.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 5 hours ago

Oof, hope you escaped that net of arseholes

[–] Jambone@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My take is that his single answer applies to them all, thusly:

6 people are coming 6 of them are vegetarian 6 is when they are coming.

He was conserving bandwidth.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 1 points 13 hours ago

6 people coming at 6 pm none are veg. That’s my guess.

once upon a time, cost of text(telegram) was calculated per character

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

2 people, 0 vegetarians, 4 o'clock

The answer is summed for brevity

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Too many word.

6 people No vegetarians

He's responding sequentially

Rookie mistakes everyone makes, you gotta do fflush(std) after printf

I feel like whenever someone posts a reasonably relatable marriage meme on Lemmy, all the terminally single people show up to demonstrate exactly why no one will love them.

[–] Flying_Penguin@lemmy.zip 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jokes on you normie. My AI waifu tells me she loves me all the time.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But can she count how many E's are in seventeen?

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 28 points 1 day ago

It's fine, we'll get to the bottom of this in at least 14 more texts.

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

she said "couple of questions" but she asked 3. So the last one doesn't count. Also, she married him, pretty sure this isn't a new trait of him

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

"Couple of" colloquially means "a small number of". She married him and is now poking mild fun at him, not threatening divorce.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is actually a post about all the invisible labor women do

[–] The_Terrible_Humbaba@slrpnk.net 8 points 14 hours ago

It's bad communication. Plenty of people do this, women included.

[–] AceOnTrack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It's so tiresome

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's exactly how my wife answers questions, tho'.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Maybe you hate women, hmm?

I refuse to place the sarcasm thing but consider it served.
