If I were gay, I'd probably walk fast as fuck because I'm afraid some random homophobic piece of sh!t could attack me.

I think that's where it starts, yeah.

And all the iced coffee we drink makes us zippy.

I had no idea I was gay...

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Me neither. Does this mean we need to move in together?

Awww, a carpenter and cowboy is adorable actually

"Walking faster is more exercise", no shit.

You know every day I find another thing about me that's incredibly gay. If I were heterosexual I think I might be concerned...

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You know I am hetero, and the more I live the more I find out I do gay things.

I used to think that me being gay came down to if I wanted to bang another guy or play his dick or something.

Now that I'm in my 40s, I've been told I do all sorts of gay things. Like think dogs and cats are cute. I said "aww look at the puppy" and some guy asked me if I was gay as a response. I was also told using your tip toes to reach something is gay. Now I find out my normal quick walking pace is gay.

All these rules are confusing. I think straight guys think about what makes gay people gay way too much.

Do you carry a big thing of water around with you to hydrate? Super gay

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Fuck yeah I do!! I got a metal jug I carry around for work and I have another metal yeti mug for home. Hydration is important.

Giving you an upvote because I'm genuinely curious what kind of people you're surrounded by if they've convinced you all that is "gay". 😭

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

There's a "gay walking pace?" I'm bringing this up with every gay person I know, LOL.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Lol so all these people I'm seeing walking around at 2 mph are just extra straight. Guess I have some feelings to work out since I walk faster than that..

[–] LettyWhiterock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I didn't actually know this was a stereotype? Is it actually one or just something this writer pulled out of their ass?

This is a dumb article. "Light cardio is healthier than no cardio, science finds after years of ~~wasting a shitton of money~~ research".

[–] caesaravgvstvs@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

We're trying to gentrify a neighborhood, you can't do that at a leisurely pace, it's dangerous!

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 1 week ago

Hey, my girlfriend keeps saying that I walk too fast 🤔
