I'd think he'd be suspicious after the lack of children for 15 years, but who am I to judge

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 145 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The joke is that the husband and his friend went to Thailand and his friend transitioned. Now the old friend is "missing" and the husband is married to who that friend became.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 117 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Thanks, I'm dumb and thought she murdered his friend.

She kinda looks like someone who accidentally shot her husband in the head while joking around about shooting him in the head with a real gun.

I'm trans and thought she murdered his friend too lmao

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm smart and I though she murdered his friend

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm drunk and I though she murdered his friend

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

Smart and drunk are basically synonyms

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't know if I'm smart or not, but I think part of the joke is that the husband doesn't recognize that his now-wife is his former best friend, and that unlikely circumstance kept me from understanding the joke even though I read the explanation. (Not the explanation in this thread but the more ambiguous one in the other thread.)

Im norwegian, and I was a question mark until I read the comments which made me transition into an exclamation mark.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Does it say something about me that I got the joke immediately?

I thought this was some boomer shit about spouses not listening to each other?

So many different interpretations in the comments.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought it was just that he didn't need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha

This would also be a funny interpretation.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not so dumb, given this is probably a screengrab from "you", and this character would definitely have murdered his friend

Ah, I thought that she kidnapped/killed her husband's best friend. Yeah, maybe I watch too many crime/police bodycam vidyas on YT.

I understood "we met shortly after" as talking about the wife and the best friend. Like a hyperbolic expansion of the "adult men don't talk about their lives with their male friends."

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 74 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Thailand

[–] illi@piefed.social 133 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's the joke (the friend is the wife)

[–] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 74 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Oh thanks I didn't understand the joke

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It wouldn't be funny if it was obvious. Thanks for your sacrifice.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Why wouldn't it be funny if it was obvious? Most funny jokes are obvious, at least after the punchline.

Everyone knows that to transition into a woman you walk into a booth in Bangkok called the "cunt machine" and after a magical girl transformation sequence you walk out a hormed and surged up doll

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Shiny bright lights transformation like in Sailor Moon

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

Thank you, I had no idea what the OP was about.

As someone who transitioned and then dated her male best friend. It was fun, and while it didn't work out in the end because of things outside the relationship, it was one of the best relationships I've had.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Respectfully. That is really cute and heartwarming.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My best mate and I used to joke that if one of us was a woman or both of us were gay, it would have saved a lot of time.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ah, if only both of you were women and both of you were gay :(

If anyone is curious where this comes from, and whether or not it is AI.

Bet they played Striking Vipers

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

In other words, lying to your partner for over a decade? Why and, most importantly, how?

Edit: I wonder what the people who downvote the comment mean by them.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Sheesh. Can't a woman be bored by some old story without everyone jumping to far-fetched conclusions!

Now that's a good friend. Feeling sorry for his friend who can't find a girlfriend. Then disappears in Thailand so his friend can meet the love of his life.
