Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I greet them as "brother fullname" to make them sound like they're a monk or priest or something.

Brother Maynard, bring up the Holy Hand Grenade

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Armaments, chapter three, verses 15-25.

Then didst the lord smite the evil hordes and banish them <"skip a bit, brother">, erm, ahem...

And lo, shalt thou take the holy hand grenade and removest thou the pin.

Next shalt thou count to three, three being the number of thy counting.

Count thou not four, neither count thou two, unless thou proceedeth forththence to three. Five... is right out.

Then, having counted unto three, shalt thou lob the holy hand grenade at thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

No, three, sir! Three!

"hello spare parts."

(Identical twins can donate organs with no rejection risks and no 8-year organ lifespan)

It's what it says in my phone too. Maybe an EMT will find it and know where to grab/give spares?

100 years ago when I was a kid one of my gaming buddies, the darkest black kid in town, would greet me the very pasty mixed kid with "greetings my dear 100% biological brother, how has your day been?"

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Your friend sounds awesome. Did you guys stay in touch?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 2 months ago

His brother you mean

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It is always projection, isn't it?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

"hah, gay!"
their eyes roll so hard they pop out

The most common greeting between brothers is usually "Hey dumbass"

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

My siblings and I greet each other like Buster Bluth talking to Tina Belcher.

"hey brother"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

My brother and I do say “Hey, brother.” To each other all the time, but it’s specifically because of Buster Bluth.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

"Huh, figured you would have killed yourself by now."

Yeah, not all families are happy ones.

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 months ago

"Oi, bitch."

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago

"Hey" "Hey"

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Us now as 40-somethings: Hey. What's good?

Us as teenagers in the late 90s: Sup, cracker? You busy being a homo and shit?

We are white.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most of my siblings say my name, though my younger brother does often say hey bro (we didn't grow up together, my father has been round). For a while I called my father "father person" and he called my older brother and I #1 son and #2 son, but not as a ranking, just a statement of our birth order.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Narrator: it was also a ranking.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

“Sup fucker”

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

Dumb nicknames, definitely

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My sisters say “hi sis” all the time.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

When they greet each other.

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

My sister always leads in with "comrade brother"

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Me: “Hey look it's [dream_weasels brother first name]!“

Him: middle fingers up Ha! Gaaaaaaay!

Me: Got 'em!

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes do "hello identical twin" because it's very stupid so I love it.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bonus points if it's not actually an identical twin. Or twin

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No bonus points, haha! It's my actual identical twin.
