New gender-neutral greeting dropped
Why is this the shitpost that tickled y’all
@s0 shitpost popularity as a secure random number generator
@s0 The manosphere explodes, as this greeting does not acknowledge and celebrate their urinal use
@s0 because it is delighful to imagine this being used outside a sign on top of the toilet; nobody can (or rather, should) deny they're using toilets but I doubt anyone would enjoy being reduced to this exact part of their daily life
@s0 because we are all fellow toilet users
@s0 extremely tempted to kick off my set at EMF by shouting "greetings fellow toilet users!"
@gsuberland @s0 Surely it should be "How do you do, fellow toilet users?"
@gsuberland
We all worship as equals at the altar of ceramic.
@s0

@s0
 gents
 fellow toilet users

I really don't see what's not to like.

@s0 shitpost, hah! You’re on fire today 😂
@s0 Luckily, English is virtually genderless. Bear with me: In French, for instance, this may not be as easy an accomplishment: "Chèr.e.s co- usager.ère.s des toilettes," if you ressort to inclusive writing (I may be somewhat wrong).
@vstab @s0 or else we can abbreviate it as "co-toilettes". Like all this coworking and covoiturage.
@s0 Please join the Tri-County Toilet User's Group! We meet every Wednesday night at Grace Baptist Church. Please bring your own toilet paper as supplies are limited.

@s0

Great, everyone is included in passive aggressive toilet signs.

Well Karen, a sign is not going to make someone replace the dunny roll!!

Also, for the kitchen- your mum doesn’t work here so wash your own dishes.

Eeek, I hate them all.

@s0 I can see another useful part of that sign, that is generally applicable:

"Please consider others"

🫡

@s0 the associate toilet users need to go out behind the building...
@s0 This is of course discriminatory against popes, but I'm okay with that.

For those that can't follow my particular brand of absurd humor:

There are some common ways to answer a question "Yes, obviously, you ignoramus", including "Do bears shit in the woods?" and "Is the Pope catholic?"

There's an obvious comedic transposition: "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"

@drsbaitso it’s weird and kinda gross they use the hat like that
@s0 I am confused .. should not be "Dear fellows toilet users" or "Dear fellow toilet user" ? Or am I wrong ? ( English is not my mother language ) .

@gilesgoat “fellow” in this case is not the meaning as a noun (like in “he’s a handsome fellow!”).
It’s the adjective meaning, for “someone sharing an activity or trait with the first person”. Commonly used in the phrase “fellow travellers” meaning “other people who are also travelling”. It’s a way of adding politeness by saying “I’m including myself in the group”.
And in English, adjectives are not pluralised to match their nouns unlike many languages (“blue herons”, not “blues herons”).

Or in other words, the author of the message is also a toilet user.

@s0 I'm sick of all the erasure of litter-tray users!!!!!
@s0 now we're all in the gutter
@s0 Well, Seymour, you are a toilet-using fellow, but i must say you steam a good ham.
@s0
Dear fellow toilet users,
Plant people are assholes, despite having none of their own. Honestly, you even mention that you have to "use the lavatory" to your plant person coworker and they'll get offended at having to hear about our bodily functions. As if they're much better, excreting their waste as salts all the damn time. Anyway, hoping you're having a good poo.
@s0 actually I piss on the street like a dog. So no this is not that inclusive /j
@spycrab @s0 gender-neutral doesn't necessarily mean inclusive ! /jk
@s0 fellow carbon units
@s0 I so don't feel hailed by a greeting of "Ladies!" regardless of which door I enter, so I super appreciate this
@s0 this is erasure of people who piss in the woods
@s0 what does the rest of the sign say?
@s0 "Dear fellow shitters".
@s0 Well, it's very inclusive.

@s0 sounds like bad news though

'dear fellow toilet users...'

oh no what now

@s0 this is very useful for me because i often wish to only address those who use toilets
@s0 fedi's own aberBitteLaminiert
@s0 Toileteers was right there within reach.
@s0 - This Co - Toilet system is out of the picture. 😮
@s0 People always forget the best gender neutral word for people
