Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

If they’re a company that deals in exposed machinery where hair can be caught in running, then good for them. It’s protective. Being essentially called isn’t fun for anyone.

If they’re not- then fuck them.

EDIT: I get it now. Thanks! I’m not good at this type of humor. So I took it literally. Thanks even for the explanations.

I feel like tying people up just for having long hair is a bit much, but I am also into rope play so whatever

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t even catch that! Damn you ASD!

fellow ASDer: took me awhile to learn how to read subtext. Lots of practice and weird ideas. Now it's almost automatic and I've forgotten what ideas I've used (remembered one, a " mental workbench"). Except now masking is my obsession and it feels like 60-70% of my brain is dedicated just to "decoding" everything I hear (i.e. figuring out unspoken intent) ...

Yeah ... I'd rather have just never learned this to begin with, haha ... too exhausting ...

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Wow! It does sound exhausting. Thanks for sharing that though.

But then it applies to everyone with long hair.

Yeah I'm a metal dude who works in a chemistry lab. We exist.

That's not what it says though. It says that the girl must be tied up if they have long hair.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah. That was explained to me. I’m not good at subtle humor. So I didn’t get it at first.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Food service as well.

[–] Annually2747@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But this isn't how you read that?

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I didn’t get the point (or joke) of it until after when it was pointed out to me.. I don’t pick up on things like that easily. Figured I’d leave my original statement up as an homage to my inability to detect subtle humor.

[–] Annually2747@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're the straight man in a comedy duo. :)

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Seemingly always.
