Scientist: don't anthropomorphise this

Journalist: noted but that won't stop me

I mean, we were all thinking it. Putting the warning to stop us from doing so seriously while still indulging the joke was the right way to go.

This is related to big pickup trucks too.

And super loud cars and bikes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm willing to bet that most people who roll coal fit into this category. Loud muscle cars and ridiculously loud Harleys too. Anything to get attention, especially if it makes them feel like they've got a big fat... wallet. Yeah let's go with wallet.

As someone who drives a subcompact car, I can get behind this.

But if I ever buy a truck we'll have some words.

Well as they say… speak softly and carry a massive dong

Shout out to my outlier small-balled chill primate dudes in my life.

Aren't human beings also just primates too? I think this'd apply to us as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Huh, I guess that's why I'm quiet all the time.
