You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese πŸ§€

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am not a woman, but I would be fascinated too

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Fun fact: if you are ever on a plane with a crying baby take a slice of cheese and carefully place it on the babies face. The parents will be so happy with you for calming the baby.

I read that on Reddit at some point. It seems like solid advise.

Do you need to use Elmer's glue so it doesn't slide off?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Roquefort works best.

But the chicken looks like shit in a vase after like 1 day whether you water it or not.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rookie mistake, you forgot to take the meat off and bleach the bones. Sure, it's a lot of work, but a glass vase full of chicken bones is a time-honored legacy.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don’t you mean get β€œUs” a rotisserie chicken?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You stay away from my chicken!

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just hear me out, what if instead it was our chicken?

They could have made him look more Staliny.

Problem is, she's vegan, so she's against picking flowers and against eating chicken.

It's best you just save the money for a month or several and buy her LEGO.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Lego is like the modern version of roman families handing down their armor and weapons to future generations BC ain't no fucking way they affording a whole new set each damn time the Gauls start acting up.

If they'd had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit

[–] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I really hope my mom hasn't gotten rid of my lego collection after I moved out like she did with my rocketry collection without asking me...

And no oligarch will spend 500€ on a crap LEGO car when a real (used) one costs less. And while Cada has much better ones for 200€.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

Lots of vegans, and non-vegans, are anti-picking-of-flowers, because if you leave them to live, they live longer and look prettier, instead of wilting sadly in a vase until they're fully dead.

So for some people, it's better to give them a live plant, so they can kill it by accident on their own time.

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Ive been vegan for more than a decade and most of my circle is vegan. I don't think i know of any vegans against cut flowers. The only argument i can see is that if you were cutting flowers found in the wild then you could be harming the environment which indirectly hurts the wildlife and pollinators. But i think most vegans would be ok with buying flowers. My wife and i also just grow our own and cut only a fraction of what we plant.

Btw if we're talking about Costco for chicken, they do have reasonably sized bouquets for as cheap as $10. And while that chicken will be gone in a day or two, Ive kept a Costco bouquet alive for my wife for a minimum of a week.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Broccoli is for sustinance, picked flower will just needlesly die. :P

I’d be picking them bones, know what I’m saying?

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or you can get her a hotdog combo and still have $3.50 left to spend for yourself.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 12 points 1 week ago

or, like, a whole egg

[–] tang999@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Just don't eat the chicken on the way home. You're asking for trouble.

As an AroAce women I think the choice is very obvious :3

(Especially if garlic bread is a side dish with the chicken and maybe a salad)

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can go out into a field and pick a whole cute looking bucket of flowers. Chicken it is.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

In that case, do both. Cause I’m already counting on chicken.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also those Costco chickens are way better than regular grocery store chickens from like Safeway or whatever. They’re way bigger and juicier, I think they’re brined or something. It’s like other stores aren’t even trying.

The flowers?

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Or get a chicken bake, a hot dog and a soda and still have money left over.

Edit: I just went to costco and their chicken bakes are 3.99 not 2.99 😭

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The closest thing to flowers I ever received was a cactus. It died.

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do the flowers also contain concentrated microplastics?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Of course! What doesn’t nowadays…

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Those are complimentary

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like how this users history is just animal communities and shit posting.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What can I say, that’s all I’m good at πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

[–] WereHacker@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

It is mayday after all. The theme should be bread and roses. You should have your chicken and the flowers too.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LPT: If you want to keep her, you get her both at the same time.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But I only have $5.00 πŸ₯²

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

A flower and half a chicken?!!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Haha, you'll have to repay the debt another way then, brokie.
