The two genders: cigarette and joint. Spliffs, blunts, and vapes don't exist, you're either a cigarette or a joint.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha, thank God we don't have problems like that.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 20 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it would be silly to try to create a strict system of binaries to describe something as complex as human beings and the constantly changing world we inhabit.

Vaping Weed 🧞‍♀️ no weird glycerin just heat and resin

[–] python@programming.dev 52 points 9 months ago

That's actually accurate in German.

"Eine rauchen gehen" (female) - going to smoke a cigarette

"Einen rauchen gehen" (male) - going to smoke a joint.

Yeah lots of people hate their body for reasons other than gender.

Anorexia, for example.

[–] ring_raitch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

I mean sure! But also, the instance op posted to.... 🤷‍♀️

Don’t be blunt. Don’t spliffgender the fag. In these dire times we need to joint hands, like the Dutchie

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Is that supposed to be a joint? With a wick? And some kind of filter?

My lawn.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The wick is just the end of the rolling paper, you twist it up so it burns more evenly. The filter is called a crutch and it's just a piece of scrap cardboard to give you something to hold on to do so you don't burn your fingers and lips

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I’m guessing you are not from the US or Mexico.

[–] M137@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's hilarious that you so perfectly embody the ignorant 'murican stereotype with both of your comments.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I should have added /s to my comments. I didn’t think I needed to.

[–] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

I am from the US and joints that I roll have both a wick where the paper rolls up at the end to hold the leaf in and a crutch at the back to hold onto with your fingers. When you buy a preroll at a dispensary, they look like this as well. Where are you that these basic convenience features of pot smoking have not managed to come your way? I've been rolling joints like this since the 90s.

How do you not know what a cone is and you're trying to make it a geographic thing?!

[–] ichmagrum@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

People not from North America, on my hellsite? It's more likely than you think!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Go smoke your weird wick joints with your cardboard holders.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Worst stoner science stuff ever. Just as "I dont do bongs, they are too hard".

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Eh, twisting the paper actually helps, and the crutch is nice. I don't care for smoking all the way to the end of the joint and hurting myself. What's so bad about either of those things?

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

You get all the tar and big ash particles in your lung for no reason.

Joints hit very fast thats true. But I mean, smoking tobacco doesnt make it worse because tobacco is disgusting. But Cannabis, with all its fancy terpenes, why burn it away, turn the sensisitive terpenes into tar?

Vaping is really great, went from pure joint (not a blunt as they use tobacco leaf as wrapper I think) to that+filter to minibong to Vape. Arizer Go, just perfect device that lasts forever and you can replace the standard size battery

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think it's one of those cones you stuff the weed into. The "filter" is more like a sieve to prevent doobie snacks.

[–] M137@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, this his how joints look in Europe. Only people I've ever met that didn't roll like this were Americans.

[–] Basil@lemmings.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand how a joint would work without a filter? And no twist at the end? Do they just leave it open?

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They use the small papers and just leave a tiny little space at the end where the filter would usually go, and it just gets all smashed down and soggy. That's why people used to use "roach clips" because the end of the joint would be a soggy, tarry mess that you couldn't hold on to. I don't know why anyone who's ever smoked one of those shitty little joints would ever insist they're superior to one with a cardboard filter in any way.

[–] Verat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

My parents used to use Roach clips and swear that it is "good enough" but whenever I roll for them they get filters.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

Thats not even a filter thats a "filters remove the THC" stoner science paper thing.

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

Also there is charcoal filters specifically advertised for rolling joints since at least a decade. A brand populat in Germany is linked. Another populat one is called actitubes and Rolling paper companies like Gizeh also make these now.

Gotta love the TikTok label

All of them... The collective called "TikTok label".
