And then everybody clapped
We need a bot that comments this for every single greentext
That sounds fun. How hard could it be?
Every script kiddie after a single class in uni knows how to make one. That’s why reddit had so many annoying bots that did fuckall but tried to be funny.
Like that stupid reminder bot.
Jokes one everyone; it doesn’t work anymore. What happy day that was.
Reminder bot at least had a purpose and had to be manually triggered by someone to act. I’m talking about the annoying ones, like the spelling bot, it just scraped as much as it could, looked for common spelling errors and corrected people. Good thing bots were getting banned left and right. People aren’t original. When on /freefolk the Bobby bot got successful via a meme, there were like 10 other copycats the next week, made by people who didn’t know that nobody called the character “bobby” unless they wanted to invoke it. So then, a bot would pop up for writing Tyrion, Cersei, Tywin, etc, which were used always, since it was a fandom subreddit.
I liked the spelling bots. You can always just spell “you’re” correctly. Or never use it and just use “you are” every time you can.
Okay, whatever, you liked them. The reality of it was - it was a spammy bot that wasn’t useful, funny or neccessary.
I’m talking about the annoying ones…
Yes, the stupid reminder bot where all you had was RemindMe! In the comments multiple times adding nothing to the conversation.
It’s as annoying as “bump” in forums back in the day.
I don’t see why it would be fake, there’s nothing unbelievable about it. I mean it is a greentext but there’s no reason to, y’know
Anon has a wife
Red flag right there
Also a gf. And a friend. Triple flag
There’s also a point where you don’t have to care. It’s a good story and you can enjoy it on that basis.
Even if it didn’t really happen to whoever wrote it, you know it’s really happened to someone at some point.
No.
Everyone had clap.
whats a clap and how do i get one?
Sink a putt at a golf competition.
Those golf groupies will give you the clap.

Go to a really shady strip club, you might find some clap there. More likely if you pay with meth.
The Chats - The Clap:
Nah there’s a grain of truth to this. If you don’t have lesbians in your social circle, you’re fucking stupid and missing out big
Now taking applications for lesbian friends.
I know one.
She’s Canadian, and is homeschooled.
She travels a lot, and doesn’t have a cell phone.
Fake and gay ☕
I’ve always loved that the dickhead king is the same actor as the goofy boss from Super Troopers.
for once it actually is gay when you say that
This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They’re people, just like everyone else, and I’m sure there’s some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they’re just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.
I consider myself an ally, and I’ll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats… It doesn’t matter.
IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.
My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.
“This is why” you say of a fake greentext.
My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.
While not so bad now that they’re legally allowed to marry, this joke was kinda cringey before then. “Sure you don’t have the right to marry who you love like most people do, but ‘wife bad’, amiright??”
I think the joke is ‘spouse bad’
Youre the one who put a gender on it
I can’t say for sure, but I suspect that it’s mostly hetero males who make this joke. Just like the many “wife bad” boomer comics.
It’s was only hetero males getting married in the past… The fuck you on about? Are you just trying to find something to be offended by?
Thanks for replying to this. I’m not in Lemmy nearly as much as I would like.
I just want to note that the comment you replied to is wrong. Call it a quirk of my personality, but I like to ask the opposite of what’s expected. The example I gave in another reply was walking in to a room where people are watching sports, instead of asking “who is winning?” As most would, I instead ask “who is losing?”. The information is the same either way, provided you know who is playing, stating the loser implies who the winner is.
I don’t mean to imply all marriages are unhappy, I just simply flipped the script, so to speak, and instead of saying they have the same right to a happy marriage, I say the opposite, not because I think they’re doomed to be unhappy in marriage, but because people usually expect an implication of everyone being happy in marriage.
I think the reason I do this is because it makes people think about their response more than if they’re asked what people expect them to ask. But IDK, I’m no psychiatrist.
Either way, I appreciate your comments here, and I wanted to leave you a note to say so, and provide a bit of information. I hope you have a great day.
Funny, I could have sworn that hetero females got married, too…not to mention bi males and females.
You must be fun at parties.
I think this is the most appropriate time for a “no u” that I’ve ever had.
While there definitely is a trope about “wife bad”, and it’s fairly common, people complaining about their spouse is nothing new. Men were able to insert it into pop culture far more frequently in the boomer days before there was even a facade of equality (both for gender and for race).
Now at least, there’s a facade of equality if not genuine equality and as others have indicated, a lot of the spouse demeaning comedy has fallen out of favour.
So from the etymology of the trend, it could only be “wife bad” boomer humor to achieve the meme-like status that it has, when equality became a more important issue, those jokes fell out of favour.
To be perfectly clear, my statements are largely genderless, and that is very much on purpose. Since a husband may not have a wife, and a wife may not have a husband. Equally a spouse may not have a husband or wife.
I have done a lot to ensure that the language I use isn’t gendered because there are people who don’t identify as a gender or don’t identify as a single gender. To which, my comments are largely taking about people, not men and women, so genderless terms are more correct to what I mean by my comments.
Yes, it’s a little cringe to imply that all marriages are unhappy marriages. I tell this joke because it falls in the arena known as “dad” jokes, which I personally enjoy. Additionally, it subverts expectations by implying the negative of what would be normally expected, which is the bread and butter of my preferred humor.
This is emphasized by the fact of who I am and how my personality works. I like to give people something unexpected; I’ll give you one easy example of not being funny but also not doing what’s normally expected. If I walk into a room where a group of people are watching a sports game, I’ll ask “who is losing?” Since most people would ask “who is winning?”. It’s weird, I’m weird, and I’m okay with that.
Do with that information as you will. The fact is I like going with the opposite of whatever most people would expect when it has no bearing on the information, it only inverts it. So rather than saying “the same right to be happily married as everyone else” I simply went for the opposite as I do with everything else. It’s a quirk of my personality.
Right cause only men complain about their spouses as a punchline.
It seems to be far more common, in my experience. Do you have any examples of “husband bad”? Not just complaining about them, mind, but implying that marriage itself is a bad thing?
90% of the content on Reddit’s XXchromosome is women shitting on their husbands or boyfriends, and it’s a big subreddit.
wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?
Yeah thanks for that incoherent comment. You really contributed to the discussion there, well done.
Do they think the LGBTQ+ community is the kind of community you gotta pay like a yearly fee to be in? Lol
Wait… Y’all aren’t paying the Gay Dues?
What are you on about? From my understanding all the people you mentioned ARE considered part of that description
Nail on the head my friend. That’s exactly why I used that identifier. Not sure what the other person is trying to say here.
I THINK THEY’RE HAVING A LITTLE JOKE WITH YOU
I DON’T THINK ANYONE IS FINDING IT VERY FUNNY.
I do not care how true or untrue this may be.
Upvote for wholesome.
Except the cheating part.
It’s obviously not a good thing but, in this particular case, it was the cheating promoting a very wholesome outcome.
The cheater got the boot. The cheated got ahead in life.
Game. Set. Match.
“Let’s call her Elise” clear redditor giveaway.
Lesbian friends are eternal
Isn’t that the new My Little Pony movie?
They are still after me, generations have passed and those lesbian friends of my great great great great father do not how to quit
I tried stabbing, burning, decapitation, even slicing them up in little pieces using a blender. They always return
I do not know how much longer I can take it, this bloodline needs to end with me, it is the only way for the curse to end. The curse of the eternal lesbians
.* becomes gay .*
Ahahahahahaha. Well, not the new one:
You could say it’s over Für Elise
No. You cannot say that.
But he already did, whatcha gonna do now?
I will stridently, and with great determination, do nothing at all.
keep rollin’
All those years working in the classical department at Tower Records finally paying off with this joke.
My family disowned me, my wife left me and I now live in a barrel. But it was all worth it. For this one moment.
Barrel dwelling loners rise up
I don’t care whether this story is true or not but I can absolutely confirm that lesbian friends fucking rock
My friends have reciprocated every ounce of support I’ve given, have helped be to better myself, boosted my confidence, have given me perspectives on life and interpersonal interaction that I otherwise may have been blind to, and are generally wonderful to be around.
Sorry to rant just really love my friends and wanted to tell people they are missing out although of course your experience may vary
I had a girlfriend in my 20s that used to hook up with other girls. For some reason I never considered that cheating and never cared. No idea why it never bothered me.
Relationships are all different and unique. Something that’s cheating to you may not be to this relationship, or vice versa. I’m a proponent of open relationships, with good communication - if we discuss it and there’s no deception, it’s not cheating.
Traditional relationship models are so weird.
Making up all these different definitions of “cheating” vs “emotional cheating” and distinguishing them from other instances of hurtfully not honoring agreements.
It’s just that: people have an agreement with each other and one of them expressed that it’s very important for them emotionally for the other to honor it. Then the other didn’t. That expectedly hurts.
Why is there a special word when the agreement is about sex?
They aren’t even “traditional” really. We didn’t start pairing off in “lifelong partnerships,” aka marriage, until a few thousand years ago. We spent hundreds of thousands of years existing in communal tribes.
I’m not disagreeing with your core message: monogamy isn’t “older” than polygamy. But neither is it the other way around: We probably did both since very long ago.
The notion that there’s a human “tech tree” of civilization is wrong. E.g. Agriculture doesn’t “follow” hunting and gathering, and neither does centralized power (like in a state) “follow” agriculture. Humans have been experimenting with social structures since basically the beginning.
So within the last tens of millenia, there were probably societies that were monogamous, some that were polygamous, and some that rotated or did both, and of these some depending on some social stratification and some depending on personal preference.

I totally hear you there. No problem with whatever people want to do. Everyone should be able to pursuit their happiness if it isn’t causing others harm or distress. Live and let live.
Maybe polyamory is something for you
I’m in my early 40s with four kids now and that seems like way too much work lol. To be clear though, I definitely would have considered it cheating if she was with another dude. It was just with other women it wasn’t an issue at all for me.
I’m with you on this. It doesn’t feel like cheating at all unless it’s with a man
Might even get a threesome out of it!
in that case you may have some unrealized homophobia, causing you to not view queer interactions as fully valid compared to straight interactions
lol what? Not sure what you read but I said I had no problem with my girlfriend with other girls.
Furthermore I’ve hung out with tons of gay people. My brother was gay (died of fentanyl). Zero issues with whatever people want to do in their bedroom. None of my business anyway.
I think they mean some guys don’t consider 2 women having sex to be “real sex” so they don’t think it’s cheating.
Oh, im really not that deep. I don’t spend much time worrying about what others are doing for sex or intimacy.
Some other user said it’s probably because I can’t compare myself to a girl, unlike another man, which is probably true.
Appreciate you explaining what they probably meant by that comment as I was extremely confused
My thoughts exactly. My wife loves being with other women, and we both like mff relationships, so we just got a girlfriend. Solves so many problems and makes raising a kid together so much easier with an extra set of hands. Makes the various medical issues between all of us easier to deal with.
Way to break serial monogamy cycle
Even in cases where it ends a relationship, there’s something slightly less bad about a partner cheating on you with a gender different than your own. “What do they have that I don’t have?? Oh, right, a vagina and boobs/a dick.”
Yeah that probably has a lot to do with it now that you mention it.
Should it bother you? Was your girlfriend being dishonest to you, or mistreating you? In the end, if you’re fine with it, then its fine.
I’ve seen more often than not (like this post) that other guys are uncomfortable and consider their girlfriend with another girl a deal breaker. To me it makes no sense.
My girlfriend never really talked to me about it, just kinda found out or she might mention something here or there. Didn’t really matter.
This was also back in the day - raves, bars, drinking, drugs, sex. The good old days lol.
It’s never bothered me as a concept either, though I’ve never had it tested. I figure it’s just a inbuilt bias or underlying thought pattern that has been built in from an early age. Not the best honestly, but not really a battle worth prioritising either.
If my spouse was on 4chan, yeah I’d too do everything to destroy them forever

Commenting to see if you get an answer
They did
I saw but thanks the reminder
Fake but people will upvote anything that creates propaganda for their preferred narrative 🙄. No critical thinking.
Faking stuff on 4chan? A lie on the Internets?
