It's for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago

+1 for the double entendre title šŸ˜„

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks, I was proud of that.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

As well you should be šŸ˜„šŸ¤œ

[-] Welt@lazysoci.al 3 points 3 weeks ago

Pardon my ignorance - what's 'play with my nuts' a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 3 weeks ago

They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldnā€™t benefit it during his time in office.

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

He was a peanut farmer.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can't play with?

I didn't think so.

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

What's he gonna do? Beat me up?

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

This is how you get Isekai's to the peanut farmer world.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 10 points 3 weeks ago

"I Antagonized Jimmy Carter Over the Internet And Now I'm In Another World But I'm a Peanut That Farms and Also There's A Demon King?!?!?!?!?!"

Totally underrated series that really picks up in Season 4.

I find "LEGOs" very upsetting.

Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

"You can't play with Lego anymore."

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

fuck that. Lego is a company and I don't need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don't like it they can suck my dick.

I really don't understand why there are so many people passionate about how to "properly" use The Trademarkā„¢ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The CorporationĀ®

just play with your Legos and get over it

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago

I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm pretty sure the reason Lego isn't supposed to be used is because they don't want the trademark to be genericized. the all caps thing is stylization, I doubt they give a shit if you type it all caps or not.

Lmao Legos adults

[-] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 3 weeks ago

LEGO is too an acronym. it stands for Leg Godt, Danish for "play well"

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That's...not an acronym. That'd just be LG.

It's actually an angry shout

[-] StuffYouFear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

[-] weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Language is flexible. Deal with it.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

You called down the ire of practitioners of the dark arts known as prescriptivism.

Sorry Jimmy, it's Mega only for you now

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 10 points 3 weeks ago

Probably not, cause they'll make some decent sets and then send then send them to a random Walmart in bumfuck Idaho and nowhere else, unless you want to pay 4x the price on Amazon.

Honestly I think Mattel don't want to be in the brick business sometimes.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

At least he still has 37 years to play with a Koosh ball

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Jeez. Even my dog who loved her Koosh ball was only 98 in dog years when she died. They're apparently making them for tortoises.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 3 weeks ago

No one is getting hard at 99.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Not since Roz passed last year anyway

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know whether that's funny or sad.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

This meme made me sad.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You're gonna throw him in jail? He doesn't even know if he'll live for another hour.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, his are probably hanging so low by now that they make legitimately enjoyable fidget toy.

Conspiracy theory time: maybe they hate old peopleā€¦

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm certain that Jimmy Carter has every reason to be satisfied with the amount he's built.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck those Vikings, Jimmy! You go ahead and build that AT-AT.

[-] bucketofcandyfloss@thelemmy.club 2 points 3 weeks ago

you can never be too old for legos

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You need to be between 4-99 years of age
