People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Dutch and Greek go unnecessarily hard. Yeah, "I slap my balls on it" is good, but it really does just have the same vibe as "I don't give a fuck." The Greek make it poetic and the Dutch add that specific scientific component that give it that pop.

The translation of the Dutch one is awkward. It's more like "it can rust on my ass"

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I assumed that's what it meant, oxidizing is just the fancy word for rusting. But still, rust is science because Mars has rust and science guys like looking at Mars.

I'm pretty sure these actually mean "I don't give a fuck/shit"

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aht. I meant to type that and ended up typing the awkward phrasing from the post. Fixed it.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right on. I didn't necessarily mean you, just everything in this post including the original image.

Oh I didn't take it personally. I really did mean to correct the phrasing, and I'm kinda pissed that I just typed what I was reading at the time anyway 😅
