Boys have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute post.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Hey speak for yourself!

[–] tastysnacks@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So will they just stand around displaying their inherit value, or providing instrumental value equal to that of a delicious milkshake?

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You would have to pay me, and even then...

Or, you know, it's a reference to a song by Kelis.

Edit: That led me to this instrumental mix of the song, which would be a pretty awesome dance track on its own.

I was focused on the information the referencer added. The song makes no mention of labor or idiots. The tweeting author's message is that there is a distinct value difference in laborers and idiots. Please excuse me, I took it too personally, because I am not only a laborer and an idiot, but I am also boy who is predisposed to an attraction to yards containing milkshakes. 🥤

boys implementing the superior solution of not mowing the lawn because f**k lawns.

deserving a milkshake for their ecological actions

good boys 👌

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago

But of course not dairy milk because they are trying to do positive ecological actions.

"Hello, police? There's a group of boys fucking my lawn. Send help."

It's about 20% working, 80% idiots, but the idiots are crucial to productivity

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got a bad run this time - all idiots. Gotta reroll I guess. Go get the blender back out.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Nah, just give it a bit! Individuals switch states back & forth, it's the "construction site principle"

[–] kabynbojski@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Whatever you do, don't give them straws.

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Warm it up

The boys are waiting

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Who drinks warm milkshakes?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hot chocolate is just a warm chocolate milkshake.

The yard in question:

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Meh. What flavor is the milkshake? Will having the milkshake even make life better for anyone?
