Arsenal4everHow did the mansplainer die?
Maybe I’m being dense, but I’m gonna need a mansplanation for this one.
willyaI think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.
Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I'll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I'll discard it if I think it's not actually helpful or interesting.
Just omit either “well” or “actually”. Maybe swap both for “surprisingly” or “unfortunately” depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(
I think I’ve eliminated the “[well, ]actually” from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.
I train people in a technical field, so I’m used to breaking complex things down to basic sub parts and combining them until they illustrate the concept.
I stopped explaining anything to people outside of work after I had someone ask me how something worked, then called me a mainsplainer after I answered their question.
Now, if someone asks me how something works, I just say I’ll have to look it up and get back to them. Then they usually either look it up themselves or forget about it.
Typical Redditor lol
teftWell, actually the joke is making fun of the way certain people explain things to people they think are dumber than them. But don’t you worry your pretty little noggin. We’ll make sure you understand this joke.
RiikkaTheIcePrincessStruggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠This is why you should have three lemmy accounts: One to upvote, one to downvote, and one to do neither.
I feel like some effort could be saved on that third one by not actually making the account until the "neither" button is added ;P
Upvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote?
Upvote, upvote, downvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote, leftvote, rightvote, bvote, avote, startvote!
Interestingly, both, and neither do the same thing here.
How did the hipster burn his mouth?
He drank his coffee before it was cool
That deserved its own post.
Another version (extra cold, I think!):
Did you hear about the mansplainer who fell into a hole?
It was a well, actually.
Yours actually makes sense.
That makes a lot more sense and now is actually funny. OP butched it.
MutualityWSDEsHe fell into a well, actually
izzentAccurate representation of wish fulfillment.
Echo71NinerThey didn’t.
Actually it was a tree, he fell into a tree from a great height
Margot RobbieI guess he couldn’t see that well.
Well well well…
My wife asked me what “mansplaining” is and now I’m not sure how to answer her.
you’re in a dangerous loop.
on mastodon, saying anything as a guy is mansplaining
