My favorite dumb joke of all time is from Fairly OddParents:

Cosmo: The good news is I named my nickel Phillip!

King Gripullon: What's the bad news?

Cosmo: It's a girl nickel!

... Cosmo is so fucking stupid lol.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So she's a trans nickel. Time for a new name!

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Philippa, or some approximately close spelling of that, is a fairly common feminine form of Phillip in many languages, and it used to be in English as well, but largely fell out of fashion in particularly in present day American English.

Goes all the way back to Greek, then Latin, then the Romance languages, etc.

But she might not want a name that reminds her of her deadname.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hrm. Well... right.

Is ... the nickel acrually sentient at all?

Or is Cosmo just needlessly gendering non gendered things?

Like, if you can ask the nickel, then yes, do that...

But if the nickel is in fact... just a nickel...

???

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's needlessly gendering a non-gendered thing. I'm just being facetious.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Ah ok, I appreciate the clarification =D

Autism strikes again lol.

Before or after you learn the lore?

They're apparently biblical angels. Yes, the creepy Evangelion-looking ones.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because God forbid everything isn't tied to Christianity!

Wait, no.

"What happened?"
"The new proton burped out a couple of leptons and switched back to a particle similar to the the old proton."

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem being "the proton" in this case means all protons.

Wanda: "Two wrongs don't make a right."

Cosmo: "But three rights make a left."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't a direct quote from the show lol.

One that always sticks out is:

  • Wanda: Cosmo was right??
  • Cosmo: One in a row! A new record!

Remember when FOP casually depicted mpreg in a children’s cartoon?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

mpreg.

Was that abbreviation born of necessity? Is there some context wherein it comes up so often it needs to be abbreviated for efficiency's sake?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Male pregnancy

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I imagine that context exists somewhere on the internet.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its a pretty common fetish these days. Many women install Sims mods to allow it, for example. (This may also be possible in the newest game out of the box, I stopped at 3)

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is possible in vanilla Sims 4. You can also now pick a sim's pronouns. (Though to be fair these features were added in later updates and the pronouns came quite a bit later I think.)

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry lol I’m an old. A lot of it came from some…”interesting” fandoms on tumblr and deviantart in the early-mid 2010s.

I wish to set the Higgs field to its lowest energy state.
