Americans are more used to using brands rather than product names.

An European would just ask for ibruprofen and swallow whatever brand they throw on the counter, where an american would ask for Advil ( and from what I heard they often think anything else not to have the same effect. )

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Very true. My mother in law calls it motrin. If I ask if she wants ibruprofen for a back pain, she says "no, but do you have any motrim". It's been like 20 years, she still can't get it in her head that they are the same thing. Even advil is different in her mind.

Thanks for clearing that up. (still can't wrap my head around it though)

It's a popular brand of adult diapers

It is utterly insane that so many of those fucking idiots decided to try to not only normalize adult diapers, but portray them as something aspirational. Like… what in the Kentucky fried fuck.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

It's just they're a cult. The moment a well visible liberal man wore diapers, they'd emasculate him for it, because these people don't have anything to believe in besides unequality.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

Ah, now the joke makes sense. Thanks.

Wasn't sure if it was some sort of typo.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

BTW, this is one of those Mandela Effect things. The actual brand name is singular: Depend®

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump needs more than one. If I refer to multiple go-pros, I add an S as well. I don't think our boy Nelson has anything to do with this one.

PLEASE do not give Trump even one GoPro. God knows what would come of that. 😆

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it is more like the unrelated, and annoying, phenomenon where people inexplicably add an 's' to brand names. I swear if I hear my in-laws tell me about their stuff from "Aldis" one more time I'll lose it.

[–] sketchyenchantment@sh.itjust.works 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

"I got it from Aldi's [store]"

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If they said and meant it like that, there wouldn't be a problem. It is more like: "I got this from Aldis", "I'm going to Aldis", etc.
