  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???

I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure you’re making this up.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

You're right, women don't exist lol

And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!

Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.
