OK sweetheart how long do you usually sleep? 12? 14? Like a cat 16 or more?

OMG, I just realized she looks exactly like "GIVE HIM A TICKET" lady.

This is why I hate video games. It lets you not use your signal.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

The fuck did I just watch...

Well, thanks I guess, made me chuckle. Enough random Internet videos for me today! (he says confidently yet we all know he'll be back here 5min after closing his tab)

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 15 points 15 hours ago

This is an endlessly memeable format

[–] it_depends_man@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am so glad that this meme has this amount of staying power, and the way it's being used. Well done.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

I love it. It combines my resentment of misogyny in video game culture with the things I care about in everyday life such as sleep.

[–] Metostopholes@midwest.social 52 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just be depressed and you'll sleep all day.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You have been afflicted with insomnia

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

depressed insomniac... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Can I be your worst enemy?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 20 hours ago

Sadly I have to work…

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago

Yep, that was a very much my fantasy. 9 hours of sleep, with an alarm of "stop right there criminal scum".

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

Roll a d6…this is how many times you have to get up to pee during that sleep. Shouldn’t have drank 10 health potions huh?

Fortunately, I just recieved a bag of magic beans from the local apothecary to help me with with restful sleep!

... hdroxyzine beans ... funny name, I wonder what realm they are from...

EDIT:

Also, to everyone in this comment thread freaking the hell out... this is a joke meme.

The original top half of this is from a Buzzfeed video from a decade ago, featuring gameplay of ... well, some Grand Theft Auto game, beating up strippers.

It has since been a meme template for a decade.

The original video didn't even mention fantasy games as a genre or anything.

In fact you'll now probably find a whole, whole lot of LGBTQ+ people, as well as cis/het people, agreeing that Baldurs Gate 3 is actually pretty awesome.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How dare people seek out fantasy fulfillment. Definitely worthy of HATING the genre. What a troglodyte.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think strip clubs "fulfill" anyone. They seem like a really bad time for sad and lonely men

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 14 hours ago

Where else am I gonna meet my fixer to set up this job?

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Man I wish. Anything more than seven and a half and my day feels wasted. Anything less and I'm exhausted

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

if you're reducing ALL video games to nothing but hentai anime dating sims, then you're not making a point, you're just making yourself look like an asshole

but also, who cares what games people play, or why they play them? or are you going to sit there and try to say males aren't allowed to fantasize about T&A? LOL good. fucking. luck.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

TBF, her original comment was about being able to beat up strippers in GTA5, not about T&A specifically. Not that the context makes it any better. You can beat up just about anything in GTA, taking issue with specifically the strippers is just looking for things to be mad about.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 12 points 19 hours ago

lol that makes it even worse. so every "male fantasy" = beat up women? gtfo...

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Misandrists don't need a reason to hate. They invent one. Same goes for misogynists.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This is just my personal opinion and I could be wrong, but I think women who've been catcalled by adult men since they started growing breasts at 12 years old, have a... Well not good, but understandable reason for hating men. I understand where they're coming from better than I understand any misogynist.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

toxic masculinity is bad for males too. so many dudes i know are still stuck in that high school boy mindset, and don't understand, at middle age, why they make everyone cringe and can't seem to sustain a happy healthy relationship

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, the patriarchy is bad for everyone. Misogynistic men rail against their own liberation because the women are gaining slightly more than they're gaining. Enlightened men welcome the fact that being sensitive, caring, thoughtful, and in love with your partner is now socially acceptable. It's the 21st century and men are now allowed to cry when they feel sad. This is great news. Way better than strip clubs.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

Misanthropes, however, can just gesture vaguely at society in general and be proven right.
