I live in Kansas City. The closest ocean is 750 miles away. I want to punch every single driver I see with salt life on their car...

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For the longest time I thought it said slut life. I laughed very hard when I found out the truth. I still call it that when I see one. And yeah, I hate them as well.

Sounds like a shirt idea lol. Kinda like "south butt" being a parody of north face.

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I still own my South Butt coat! It's somewhat tattered now and thus not worn, but I loved the raised eyebrows when people read the logo and it didn't say what they thought it would.

I want to get one so bad but my wife wontbley me lol. I'm jealous of you

A quick glace on fleaBay shows a few used coats, but I'd just get one of the tshirts if that suits you. I am sure someone else is making those now and they are only $20 or so. Wear it when the wife is out of town.

Alright, this one got me cracking up on my lunch break

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 days ago

I thought that too. I was almost pleased with the state of the world for a few months, over that misunderstanding.

They really want you to know that they went to the beach once, and they might do it again.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hey, they're just being honest about their high sodium diet.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah salt makes stuff taste way better

PINK HIMALAYAN SEA SALT ISN'T EVEN FROM THE HIMALAYAS!!!

I always thought that it was people being brazen about cocaine addictions lmao

I lived in the southeast near the coast and these stickers were everywhere. Now I live in the PNW and they're nowhere to be seen. And yet, Confederate flags are semi regular and I fear I will never escape the sound of mainstream country music...

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Makes you pine for the Salt Life days, doesn't it?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As someone who lives on the coast I never see that. I assumed it was a desert thing, like Nevada or whatever lol.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Salt, as in 'salt water,' life.

But lizards do have salt flats and the shirts spread faster than the knowledge of what the fuck a salt life is so...

It's just a sticker for your F250.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Been thinking of getting a sticker maker, maybe I'll put a sticker on my 2001 Tacoma that says "Arctic life" note I live just outside of the Mojave as in if the San Bernardino mountains weren't present it'd be a 10 minute drive.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The NCR ranger puts an "Artic Life" sticker on his armor before pointing at it and saying "Patrolling the Mojave, eh? EH?!"

The hell's a Nevada?
<hauls ass to Tahoe>

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact the state of Nevada just straight up stole the name from the city in California that has now had to rename to Nevada City.

That's pretty funny actually

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

This is the first I've heard of it.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only 750 miles? I figured KC would have to be like 1000-1200 from an ocean

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Did you forget about the Gulf of Mexico?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, I just wasn't thinking of it as an ocean since ocean isn't in the name

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it’s generally considered part of the Atlantic. Or at least that’s how I think of it.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yup. Visited Galveston last year.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I live less than an hour from large bodies of salt water and feel similarly.

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I feel that, but how close are you to the nearest salt mine lol
