inkHumans and Stripes
JackOfAllTraitsThis is a wild ride
dmention7Try it again while high… I am shook 🤯
My Charlotte after I asked her to tell me what kind of stripes I have:
You guys are twins!
Just a little joke that you both have similar markings
Fair enough, but that’s not me lol 😁
not sure i can follow, but is this true or some collective trolling/joking/pranking or something of the sort ?
ebits21(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaschko's_lines?wprov=sfti…)[At least the pattern part seems true.]
This should be at the top.
FoundTheVeganSort of off topic. But if you are putting a disclaimer that something is "gender neutral", just use a different word. Y'all? Fam? 😂
For those that say these are inherently gender neutral, how many bros have you slept with? Male isn't the "default" human experience.
Bro.
What are you on about? There’s not even a male pronoun in the whole post
Look at Tumblr post #5 in the image.
Match!!I fuck bros all the time but I’m gay and non-binary
Genuine question because that confused the heck out of my brain.
What does gay and non-binary together mean? Are you only attracted to other non-binary people?
I had a straight non-binary friend once; ze was small and androgynous and ze would generally date “lumberjack witch” enbies or other people who were differently gendered from zir.
KatzastropheYour argument doesn’t really work, because ‘bro’ isn’t a word used to describe sex partners, in the same vein, you would never say “I’ve slept with the boys”, but you could use the sentence “I was hanging out with the boys”.
Sure, I'm not really trying to play a semantics game so much as call attention to the fact that these are inherently gendered terms. If you were to say "hanging out with the girls (gender neutral)" or say "hanging out with the boys (gender neutral)", you are just being awkward and should just change the word.
That’s fair I suppose, to me, “bro” is an inherently gender neutral term, though “girls” is gender neutral to me in the same vein.
Adding on the ‘gender neutral’ is kinda redundant, and I can see why it would be annoying, actually, it’s annoying me too now, because if the writer simply used “bros” and not “bros (gender neutral)”, the expression’s gender (gender/non-gendered) would not have been moved to gendered, and most people would understand it to be a gender neutral expression.
I call some of my female friends “dude.” What’s that count as, Language Arbiter?
Firstly, does thinking a "(gender neutral)" at the end of sentance is really weird and awkward truly make me the language police? Come on. It's odd. Just use a different word if your intent is to have something neutral.
But to answer your question. If your lady friends don't mind being called dude, then why should I?
I_Miss_DanielI read that as lampshade.
Me two
Are your female friends city people who’ve travelled to a rural area?
Bro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It’s not patriarchy, it’s how a language evolves.
It is patriarchy because it’s consistently the masculine that’s the default.
Yes, male is the default in the English language. When the gender of someone is unknown or you’re referring to someone casually you use the default gender of the language. In Welsh, the default is female. Same as Maasai and Mohawk.
I agree on dude, and can see bro coming but at present in my daily life bruh is the neutral. And I do hope it wins or else it’s mankind all over again
uh, I definitely want to sleep with my bro’s
GCostanzaStepOnMeI know it’s the wrong sub for this opinion, but that’s a fucking annoying way to post.
ToastedPlanetI am using google chrome and I found that opening the post’s image in a new tab, clicking on the image once to zoom in, and then adjusting the zoom setting to 250% made the image easier to view and scroll. I hope that helps.
As Aiden’s describing us?
jumping redditor [they/them]It’s convenient for mobile users, I can see how it would be frustrating for people with landscape/horizontal monitor though.
It’s annoying for mobile users too, if the app doesn’t restrict max height in the headlines.
desktop here, was easy as hell lol
Apparently there’s no evidence to suggest cats can see them. Lame
Even if cats could talk, and could definately see the stripes, I’m convinced that they wouldn’t tell anyone.
They’d gossip about them with other cats behind your back
“Kevin’s stripes make him look like a moron”
\ Kevin whistling while sweeping the kitchen oblivious to the fact that he has stripes let alone stupid looking ones and that cats can talk
Don’t fucking ruin it Gary.
Their name is Steeve.
FarceMultiplierIf cats can see them, then surely we can make tech that converts those wavelengths to one’s humans can see, so we can admire each other’s stripes.
XusonthaOnly actual use for Apple’s Vision Pro headset
And open whole new untapped method of racism
Theeee fuck?
I believe “bruh” is the appropriate gender neutral pronoun.
Bruh is interchangable with bro
How do you do, fellow striped humans?
Anyone know whether we can see these stripes in some way? IR cameras? Ultraviolet spectrum?
