Refusing to use nail polish remover to clean off permanent marker because that's "for women". It's acetone, my dude, acetone.

All solvents are gay. That includes water, the gayest of solvents.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

This makes sense, every gay person I've met drank water.

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's like my science used to say in grade school, "100% of people who consume dihydrogen monoxide end up dead".

Water has quite a few side effects, the evidence is clear!

[–] mack7400@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just like how 100% of people that conflate correlation & causation die.

[–] kzhe@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I mean it was sarcasm

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Phrasing is wrong. You have consumed water and are alive.

The correct phrasing could be something like "100% of people who died have consumed dihydrogen monoxide at some point in their lives".

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 3 points 11 months ago

You have consumed water and are alive.

Bold assumption! Jokes aside, perhaps that was the phrasing that he used. Unfortunately it's been quite a while since I was in grade school.

[–] KingBoo@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Water, the universally gay, solvent.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

The H in H2O stands for homosexual, it’s true, look it up.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If only it could dissolve the gay away.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Meanwhile I buy my wife nail polish that just happens to be the same color as something I need to touch-up or paint.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"metallic grey...gee...thanks?"

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

I have at least 2 dozen metallic grey nail polishes lol... I'd be stoked to get another!

[–] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

I don't even know what that means... Like you got a sharpie mark on you? Permanent marker on a white board? What scenario is that lol

[–] chitak166@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Real men use isopropyl alcohol.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)
