Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

If they weren't gay, they'd live in Womanhattan

Hey, heterosexual life mates are a thing.

Can’t two dudes can’t enjoy musicals and a storage room without you folks immediately jumping to “they’re sucking each other off”

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No because I'm lonely and want someone to hate out of jealousy

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

All my heterosexual mates at that level of friendship eventually turned out to be not so heterosexual. I'm sure it exists, I just haven't seen it.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

"they were roommates"

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't two dudes suck each other off without people immediately jumping to "they must enjoy musicals"?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

eeeeeagleeeee

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean, when you think about musicals, storage solutions are the next logical step.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Ooh waffles do sound good right now

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm sorta missing the connection. Do they store Musical paraphernalia?

Storage solutions are also the next logical step when you think about cocaine. I've seen Blow and Scarface.

I (M) had a friend (also M) who I shared a storage space with one summer while we went abroad during graduate school and neither of us was gay. While we were waiting in the storage facility's office, my friend noticed some copies of Self-Storage Monthly magazine lying around, a trade magazine aimed at people who owned or managed self-storage facilities. The articles were mostly about how to keep bands from having rehearsals in their units (nothing about preventing people from living in the units, which we thought was a bit of an oversight given how many people I've known who have done that).

My buddy stole three copies and when he got home he peeled off the original mailing labels and replaced them with labels addressed to him from other magazines that he subscribed to, and left them out on his coffee table. It was always amusing watching people pick them up, thumb through them, and then say "Peter, why the fuck do you subscribe to Self-Storage Monthly?"

neither of us was gay

congrats and happy pride, bros!

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is very funny to me because I have an actual roommate I've been considering getting a storage space with, and we do love musicals...

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you sure you're not a couple and it snuck up on you?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

I hope not, I don't know how I'd break the news to his girlfriend!

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro, can I park my car in your garage?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Park this Big Mac truck

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 11 points 1 month ago

That's life for me in the south (USA). Some people are willfully ignorant and yet also so unintentionally naive.

Unfortunately it's not really safe for my partner and I to be totally 100% out to everybody in all situations all the time. So, if we don't know you well or we know you well enough to know you're personally running the rumor mill because you're a nosy little bitch named Penny, then you haven't earned the right to know our truth.

So, if you ask if we're friends or roommates or if he's your son or any of a million other options besides are you two in a relationship, then the answer is going to be yes, sure, kind of, whatever.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

What says they are gay?

They enjoy musicals. Dead giveaway.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Maybe they're two models who don't even know each other and the blurb was written by an ad agency hack.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Peter, explain why they value a storage room, but would prefer to use it for musicals? Are they wanting to use it as a space to practice stagecraft or a TV room for watching them?

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

It's an ad for a storage unit.

"We like musicals" is code for being gay. The advertiser is trying to create an emotional connection with gay people and virtue signal to their left/liberal allies in order to bolster sales of storage space.

"Like X, but love Y" is a common refrain in advertising because it was implies that whatever the advertiser is selling (Y) will bring the potential buyer more happiness than something which is familiar to them (X).

The ad is actually funny because space is so valuable in Manhattan that having enough space to store your shit makes you happier than expressing your sexual identity.

There's always a 40 year old white guy whose still trying to learn how to smile.

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Smiling is just showing as much of your teeth as possible, right?

…right?

[–] kelseybcool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm in this post and I don't like it 😕

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

That's not smiling; it's a sphincter-tightening exercise (and a nod to his roomie).
You'll know when you know.

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago

That storage space looks like a $10,000 custom closet job as well

[–] PokerChips@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reminds me of a netcredit commercial where 2 dudes are dry humping each other.

I think some intern finally spoke up and that skit finally got yanked.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] PokerChips@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

The best i could find is this mish mash of multiple commercials. Just picture the one with the 2 guys but extended version. It was very cringe. And the only one they showed for a about a year.

So they like being in the closet? Weird, letting the whole world know.

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Is that Papa John?

[–] altphoto 2 points 1 month ago

They have loud parties there every night. We know because they leave their balloons everywhere. And they must be sick to leave the balloons filled with snot like that.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The Manhattan Mini Storage ads are a divine gift
