Me: "There should be a Boy Scouts for adults."

Me, 3 seconds later: "Oh yeah. Military..."

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

As a life long boy scout (cub scouts through eagle scout) and as a navy veteran, I feel qualified to tell you the military is definitely not adults boyscouts.

The military is more like that game you hear about high school dudes playing in the locker room, where everyone Jerks off on a cooki, but the last to cum has to eat the cookie. That's basically exactly what the military is like. If you aren't a big enough jerkoff, you get the cookie. Everyone around you is always jerking off. And all you do is think about how much you don't want to be the one eating that cookie.

"Oh no... I guess I have to eat the cookie again." - My gay ass

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Lmao.

🎵IN THE NAVY🎶

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Cut out the cookie...

[–] Dax87@forum.stellarcastle.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that sounds like something a seaman would say

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hey now I was an airman, not a seaman. We get testee about that lol

George first taught the Army the Cookie Doctrine at Valley Forge, but then their dicks started to freeze and break off

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Armies didn't exist before George Washington

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

ours didn't

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Then there is "hurry up and wait". "Everyone has to cum on the cookie by 5am but stare at it until 2pm."

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Icky cookie?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just want a NOLS type thing for adults instead of just teens.

Question: are potatoes a vegetable. If so, do I get that badge if I eat French fries?

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

culinary terms are pretty arbitrary but when a dietician extolls eating vegetables they're not talking about starches like potatoes and corn

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So you’re saying that potatoes aren’t really a vegetable, so it’s a bit of a starch to count them as such in your diet?

[–] xpinchx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes. Approved by me.

[–] uncouthterran@reddthat.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would actually be down to have these on a denim jacket or something

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Be the change you want to see

[–] HairyOldCoot@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We don't need no stinking badges!

(Just in case: not hate, just a possibly obscure reference)

[–] TryingToEscapeTarkov@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or Blazing Saddles?

[–] HairyOldCoot@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

This is what video game achievements are for. They give adults the feedback life usually doesn't give.

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These unlock the trophy hunter in me.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'd like to introduce you to Geocaching

[–] wmcduff@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

If somebody actually wants merit badges, the Rebel Badge Club exists.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I would enjoy shows a lot more if I could stop at just 1 episode.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Well this is depressing AF. I think I need to pay my bills now and do other mind-numbingly boring and mundane tasks.

[–] ellaella_ayayay@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'd never get that Netflix badge.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I will get the bottom left and right badges one day, I swear.

[–] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Very good meme! I likey very much.

[–] M137@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The "ate a vegetable" is more of a kids badge, though. Adults generally like vegetables more than kids and choose to eat them more often.

I feel like this was made by some 'murican whale that only eats fast food and drinks soda.

[–] daddyjones@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm an adult, I'm not American, I don't only eat fast food or only drink soda, but I do hate vegetables.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Same, am whale. Plankton ftw.
