Anon made the right call, she only wanted him for his fries, she would have been gone once the fries were gone.

Yes officer this bait right here.

Edit: After further discussion, I don't think they were baiting.

There was a post on here a few days ago which got a lot of visibility which was a screenshot and/or meme about some guy who massively overreacted to a seagull stealing one of his chips (aka fries in USian), grabbing the seagull by the legs and slamming it into a wall, killing it 😬

I suspect that's what this other person thought your comment was subtly referencing 😅

(for the record I'm British and have had seagulls steal my chips multiple times, they're super bold in the UK and it's really annoying tbh but anyone who reacts by killing one is a psycho)

Hmm I think I vaguely remember that post; definitely wasn't referencing it in my comment though.

Well maybe your not bating.

Like a seagull. :/

Where did seagull come from, did you have a pet seagull?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seagulls are known for stealing food and running (well, flying) off with it.

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, then, never mind, I thought you were referencing another post. Sorry for the distraction.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

No worries, it happens lol.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

bro they fly everywhere, nobody knows where a particular seagull came from. replace it with a pigeon if that's more appropriate to your location

They’re just outside waiting for fries.

I’m not the person you were talking to, to be clear. 🤪

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Darnnit, I need to double check these things.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Haha no worries I do the same thing all the time.

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

In case you're serious, I think the :/ conveys feelings of disappointment that seagulls leave you when you run out of fries, which has obvious implications in a romantic context.

Maybe shes acturally multiple seagulls in a trenchcoat

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

omg I'm using this next time someone asks for my food

[–] lemmy12369@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

It would been that meme where the top panel: guy has fries Bottom panel: eww hr he has no fries
