Another version (extra cold, I think!):

Did you hear about the mansplainer who fell into a hole?

It was a well, actually.

That makes a lot more sense and now is actually funny.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yours actually makes sense. At least written anyway, if you say the joke I'm sure you could emphasise the "Well, actually.." just right.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months ago

Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm gonna need a mansplanation for this one.

Well, actually the joke is making fun of the way certain people explain things to people they think are dumber than them. But don't you worry your pretty little noggin. We'll make sure you understand this joke.

Struggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 9 points 10 months ago

This is why you should have three lemmy accounts: One to upvote, one to downvote, and one to do neither.

[-] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I feel like some effort could be saved on that third one by not actually making the account until the "neither" button is added ;P

Upvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote?

[-] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Upvote, upvote, downvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote, leftvote, rightvote, bvote, avote, startvote!

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

Interestingly, both, and neither do the same thing here.

I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.

[-] Hyggyldy@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I'll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I'll discard it if I think it's not actually helpful or interesting.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I think I've eliminated the "[well, ]actually" from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.

[-] Tarcion@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Just omit either "well" or "actually". Maybe swap both for "surprisingly" or "unfortunately" depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Typical Redditor lol

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

My wife asked me what "mansplaining" is and now I'm not sure how to answer her.

[-] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

you're in a dangerous loop.

[-] Izzent@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Accurate representation of wish fulfillment.

@Arsenal4ever

He fell into a well, actually

[-] RandomlyAssigned@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Actually it was a tree, he fell into a tree from a great height

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I guess he couldn't see that well.

[-] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Well well well...

[-] Echo71Niner@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

They didn't.

[-] regalia@literature.cafe -2 points 10 months ago

on mastodon, saying anything as a guy is mansplaining
