I feel like they're overthinking this a bit.

[–] don@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A bit? They’re practically dragging NASA and Harvard-grad psychologists into it. Possibly even an MIT mechanical engineering team or two as well.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I might have understated that a bit.

This isn't just how your inner voice sounds whenever your in public? You're not always hyperaware of what you're doing and how you look, so you can avoid anyone thinking you're strange?

What, you expect me to believe that you just exist as yourself when others are about, you're not perpetually terrified that they could notice you?

Just be a human w/ a body in a moment of time. If thats cringe the cringe needs confronting!

[–] yuri@pawb.social 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Being a human with a body is fucking cringe, why do you think I wanna be a robot so badly?

[–] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't know how to tell you this, but the first part of your sentence answers the second

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's how that language construct works. That's pretty much the point of it.

[–] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know. My whole project here is to get the attention from there to the content

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what's going on, but have an upvote

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it's doesn't. They didn't say "why do I wanna be a robot", they said "why do you think I wanna be a robot". The focus is on your beliefs. You said being human shouldn't be cringe, and they're challenging you to explain the facts given your beliefs.

[–] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... and the whole point is it shouldn't need explaining. The emphatic "omg being human is so cringe" doesn't come with explanations, it's a mere reflection of the social athmosphere of never beeing enough. It emphatically bends to a zeitgeist that contradicts being human itself (making someone say "having a body is cringe").

That might seem subversive or creative, but it isn't, wich is very out in the open once you shift focus on what such emphasis is emphasizing

I think otherkin are a phenomenon that would continue to exist even absent our current repressive social conditions and the negative implications humanity has gained in the wake of its own atrocities. Although in a more liberated society, otherkin would be much more common as more people come to find themselves on a deeper level.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Otherkin rights!!!

so arousing being a grown adult drinking from a water fountain. pert little hydration booty sticking out behind u. know just what to do with my eyes. stare longingly into the chrome phallus delivering me sweet nectar. then close them, half from genuine pleasure; half erotic performativity. then, rising, choking on fluid, wiping the remains of my intimate encounter from the corner of my mouth, a smirk of pleasure on my plump, hydrated lips.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good ol' fashioned internet. Just like mama used to make it

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I make my hydration booty pop on purpose, I arch my back and moan while drinking

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

turns around with water flowing from his mouth Oh! I'm so wet!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I haven't been able to use a water fountain since becoming aware of just how germ-ridden and gross those things tend to be.

[–] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago

I have been able to use a water fountain ever since I ignored germs and gross things. (Nothing adverse has happened)

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or fountain sodas or ice from dispensers. Same problem of mold buildup if they aren't maintained. At least it's much harder for people to put their mouths on those...(but not impossible).

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least it's much harder for people to put their mouths on those...

I know that if I search the web I will find video proof of this being done routinely, so I won't.

Where there is a will (and a smartphone) there's a way.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can taste it when a restaurant isn't cleaning their nozzles properly. It's fucking nasty.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yummy yummy germs in my tummy

I always count to twenty to know when my turn is up, and why is no one reminding me to save some for the fish?

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never close your eyes when using the drinking fountain.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Or while bending over and sticking your butt out.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I count "steamboats".

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Hay does normal human things stress you out? Me too
