My wife and I aren't a queer couple, but memes like this make me feel like we're missing out.

[–] Zorcron@lemmy.zip 39 points 2 months ago

Anyone can buy neon space cat underwear. You don’t have to be queer. 😸

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Don't let your dreams be dreams. Buy those space taco cat briefs today. Flaunt them like you know you can, honey.

You can be a queer couple some day

[–] Imacat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My wife and I aren’t queer either. I wear black and she wears the neon taco space cats.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

My wife wears the black underpants and I wear the fun ones.

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 38 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Posts like this make me wonder why all of my underwear is black, it's not like anyone else will see them!

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I knew a music teacher that only owned black underwear, on the in theory that if her underwear showed during a student's recital it wouldn't be obvious. (Her recital uniform was all black.)

Are your a music teacher?

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, but I also only wear black xD

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh this is simple, you're a goth. Your music taste can now only be Depeche Mode, The Cure, HIM, & London after midnight. Please see Thagasaur on your way out for your obligatory palmette tattoo.

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I hate all of that music 😭

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

They're all wrong. You're either an av tech/engineer or a mime with amnesia.

Or maybe it's a Wee Sing in Sillyville and you're actually wearing a kaleidescope of colors that are all the same value.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

Only alternative is to become a music teacher or Discworld Assassin. I don't make the rules.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

It's the law

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Sorry, dems da rules.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I looked up palmette and saw a feature of art deco buildings that I haven’t really seen in tattoos, then looked up “palmette” tattoo and even with the quotes, it was all saw palmettos. What’s a palmette tattoo look like?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Literally the first image that came up when I searched "palmette tattoo".

You sure you were spelling it correctly?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s the architectural feature that came up, so I probably spelled it correctly, but it was the same as how I spelled it in the comment.

I have never seen that kind of tattoo before and many of my friends would probably be considered goth (but we’re olds and I’m not observant). Does it reference something?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I usually see it on the top of the hand, and I'm old too. Wonder if it's regional. I've seen it mainly in the southern US

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, maybe. I’m from New England and live in Germany.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I had the same question but laser taco space cat

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

But you see them.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like the ones with spaceships

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

The neon taco cats are flying the spaceships...

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 months ago

They're space corgis, I'll have you know.

And I'm the one with the boring underwear. The cuts I like tend to come in solid colors, maybe sometimes with flowers.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

I'm "only" ace with usually straight partners but I am definitely in the neon underwear camp. Excepts it's parrots, tucans and flamingos. Life's too short to give a shit.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 8 points 2 months ago

Damn this one is brutal

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

DAmnit! I thought my wildly eclectic bright red underwear with zippered pockets let me be queer enough in my sea of solid colored maroon/black/blue/and-the-one-odd-blue/green/brown/maroon-camo underoos. Now you're telling me I have to get a partner with drawings/designs?

[–] TessaRekt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Y'all are wearing underwear?
