Disabled toddlers are welcome everywhere.

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Either that or the toilets are for disabled people and giants

Yooo anyone got the phone number for the big lady on the left? :3

*118 verified possible genders

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Some believe in a possible island of gender stability above 180.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Not including exotic ~~atoms~~ genders like positronium

But a lot vanish before they are observed.

I wanna pre-emptively name one that hasn't been discovered yet "bolognium."

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but some genders can only exist in strict laboratory settings and often for only a very brief moment.

Aside, I like the implication that when things get hot and melty, though, folks end up being gender fluid.

Yeah, but it's the gender gas and gender plasma you really have to watch out for!

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The most interesting behaviour happens at the gender triple point. And don't get me started on Bose-Einstein condengender!

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

There are only two genders: ferrous or non-ferrous.

Why not “Ma” for “male”? Why is the women’s bathroom the “female bathroom” and the men’s is just “man” or “men” or whatever??

[–] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not “Ma” for “male”?

Because then it's the restroom for your mom.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Good point. It would have to be much larger.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Men and Femen

[–] Wander@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it isnt in an english speaking country, and makes sense in another language?

[–] GoddessOfGouda@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point. It’s weird how Fe is so close to the English word Female tho

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Might be because of Latin root...

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Triangles are masculine, obviously.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Kiki moment

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why didn't they just use tungsten instead of iron?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I've never seen the English word for "manganese" and thought it was some "manga" pun, like anime.

It's kind of silly, too. The German word is even closer ("Mangan"), but I never realized the similarity.

[–] eth0p@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

This looks extremely familiar... do all universities do this?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine the conspiracy theories if they use the first letters of each sex "Fe" "Ma"

[–] naun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They wind up with a humanitarian aid camp.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

did the men and females community make it over to lemmy yet
