There is a Folgers ad that is written by people who do not have siblings, and performed by actors who want to fuck each other.

Aw man, I love how you just said "extended cut". It took me a looooong time to realize it's a parody.

I love the implication that there is no "real coffee" in west Africa, despite it being in the coffee belt (in contrast to the USA)

Me, calling my sister:

"Hey."

No response

"HEY!"

No response

"HEY, DICKLIPS!"

"What?"

If you don't call your sibling a slut at some point they're barely real family.

I don't think I've ever called my brother "bro". I call my friends "bro" all the time.

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Idk, I definitely call both my brothers bro, but I'm also 10 yrs younger than one and 21 yrs older than the other. They're also both half-bros tho, so maybe that's it

I've also used brochacho here and there since learning it

Luckily, though an only child, I had plenty of friends with siblings and I quickly caught on to that 'sis' or 'bro' was never used in anything except the most facetious fashion.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

We just called each other cunts

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.

And then you got warhammer 40k writers

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the primarchs do it, and it's kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.

When space Marines do it the it's kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.

I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We're not reading about people, we're reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it's still pretty silly.

Me and my sister call each other “trash” (sounds better in our language). We constantly make jokes about the other being trash (I.e “I gotta take the trash out” with a subsequent “why do you need to go out?”) etc.

We’re in our 20s

Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. "BROTHER!"

I have yet to be thrown to my doom.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

My brother and I greet each other by straight-up shouting each other's names. Sometimes we go back and forth in increasingly-angry tones, before finally ending with a sweet and gentle, "... hi."

[-] bulwark@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

It's called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

My older brother and I never greeted each other except with nonverbal communication, IE hitting each other.

i have a lot of siblings, and the only time ive ever called any of them "sis" or "bro" is when my older step brother and i make fun of the "step bro" memes

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago

make fun of

Uh huh. 🧐

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Since we're taking a poll in these comments, my go tos for my brother are "Hey Brotato" and "Hey Broseph", while my sister gets called her shortened first name (which she doesn't even go by, and hates, haha). Only time she gets sis is if I'm feeling silly and yell "Oi Sis!!!" with a vague cockney or pirate accent for some reason.

bold of you to assume the conversations i have with my siblings include coherent words of any kind

[-] cranberryjam@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

"Oh dearest sister" is for when you want something. "Hey" is the standard greeting.

[-] 5in1k@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

My sisters say hey sis to eachother. I’ll ask em if it’s making fun of this or if it’s real next time I see them.

I have two sisters and I've called them "sis (insert sister name)" since so young that when I was about 4 someone asked my sister's name and I said "sis Karol" as if sis was part of her name lol. Only one note, I said "mana" instead of sis, I translated it to sis here because it is pretty much the same meaning in all ways
