I thought the picture was of a muscular arm punching a hand

but that's a left hand

edit: realised literally 5 seconds after I posted this what you meant, I am big dumb

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently I'm big dummer. I don't get it

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in the same boat, a leftie and still don't get it 🤷‍♀️

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

wait i've also gone back to not understanding what

[–] someacnt_@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Are we ever going to get the answer?

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I made the comment and I am wracking my brain for what I originally meant.

I think what happened is this: I, a left-handed person, incorrectly identified the Michigan mitten as being a left-handed mitten rather than a unisex (for hands), and then I mistakenly misidentified the actual hand itself as being a right hand.

With these two thunderously incorrect facts in hand, I made a joke that implies that 'of course a righty dominated world would be unable to even see how a left-handed mitten could be mitten shaped.'

Only it was a confusing joke because (a) a common feature of mittens is that they can fit on either hand and (b) the hand in the mitten was a left hand anyway.

At least I think that's what happened. I was pretty high then, and well, I'm pretty high now too.

Fucking hell this thread has me lmao

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

it looks like a crab hand. too bad there's no crabs in the lake.

Not only are you wrong, but you missed an opportunity to bring up that they are called Chinese Mitten Crabs.

This is offensive to my people's culture.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah dude, this is hate week. I don't want to see any posts about that state up north.

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 9 hours ago

The state referenced in the OP. It's Thanksgiving week, which means The Game is on Saturday. I hate those bastards up north like an Arsenal fan hates the Hot Spurs.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Relax, Pauly Shore.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

Bold move not putting the UP on this. If Wisconsin wasn't so wasted and full of cheese they might have done something about it.

[–] mr_satan@monyet.cc 17 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

He's got two hands and both of them are left

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

and can only be held with the palm facing you.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

He's got two left hand that can't flip over.

[–] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

What about all the land that looks like it should be part of Wisconsin?

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 30 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Michigan was a state first, suck it cheesehead

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Both of you can suck it.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't push them.

If you anger them, they can will the Cheese Blockage aside, and go full auto.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We have the advantage for going full auto, we have motor city.

Or what's left of it.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 21 hours ago

That was a brilliant trade by Michigan to get rid of Toledo and get something in exchange.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I have honestly never had the thought that the U.P. should be part of WI until reading your message. Lol

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Isle Royal should at least be part of MN.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 6 points 21 hours ago

You mean all that Wisconsin that the Yoopers should absorb

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 19 hours ago

They say even cowgirls get the blues

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Real question is. Do you point to your palm or the back of your hand?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

When you have two left hands and no wrists.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Oven mitten. Though personally I think it's more of a crab claw
