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 2 years ago (1 children)

+1 for the double entendre title 😄

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thanks, I was proud of that.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

As well you should be 😄🤜

[–] Welt@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 2 years ago

They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

He was a peanut farmer.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

What's he gonna do? Beat me up?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 10 points 2 years 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 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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 Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

just play with your Legos and get over it

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (19 children)

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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Brought to you by the folks behind "Get Off That Nintendo and Go Outside" while you were PC gaming. Lol :p

Lmao Legos adults

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (9 children)

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

Language is flexible. Deal with it.

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No one is getting hard at 99.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Not since Roz passed last year anyway

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This meme made me sad.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 years ago

Conspiracy theory time: maybe they hate old people…

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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