If anything it would make them faster as the floaties would increase the speed the hand goes up

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 16 hours ago

this guy hand jobs

[–] Lanske@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Boebert approves this message

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 17 hours ago

"from German". I'm not being elitist, I am not German. But lent words have origins.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I read the caption before I took a good look at the picture and I assumed that "floaties" meant something very different.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Well at least someone here is getting floaties. I'm sitting here either dry or wet as a bone.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

better to bone wet than dry

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I would also like to keep my bones wet for as long as possible too

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, I've got this far down the comments before realising we were maybe talking about arm based flotation devices and not turds.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Floaters greatly lessen my enjoyment of hot tubs as well.

Yeah spots everywhere and you don't know if its an bubble on your eye or just the floaties

If hot tub handjobs really are a thing I've wasted my life

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You want to go the pool route. In the hot tub there's little differentiation temperature wise.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Look man

Y'all know far too much for this. I'm 34, my ex cheated on me 5 years (or 6 idk, I lost track) and have gotten laid once in that time.

It doesn't help i have ADHD with some weird mental thing preventing me from trying to hook up with anyone for any reason

Wait, no, I think my ex and I did try in a pool once but when they say "pool closed" we assumed that meant cause no staff was around

[–] Wav_function@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

some weird mental thing preventing me from trying to hook up with anyone

Do the test

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. I've been screened. That one gives me between 20-24 depending on a couple of the middle of the road answers. There's another one that's much longer that highlights the ADHD and general anxiety traits, but the two categories ASD rates high on are low scores.

I mean I get it. I'm an engineer, I overanalyze the shit out of everything, I'm anxious socially, I get bored as shit easily, I'm terrified of effort yielding no results. It's paradoxical in my head: I am lonely, crave social interaction, but I'm so terrified of it I avoid opportunities as much as possible.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Best thing to do is (i know it's cliche) but to not worry about it.

Just focus on yourself and the hobbies you find fun. Then start to look for others (not romantically) that also partake in those hobbies. Maybe try and find local in person meet ups or spaces that accommodate for it.

You just be you and eventually you'll attract someone without effort. No one is completely unique and you will find a common ground with someone that will eventually flourish. And because it's around the things you already love, it'll be less effort.

I know ADHD can throw a spanner in the works too (I have it as well). But it will come to you either through practice or by o professional help (like I did) depending on the severity.

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They are but are very dry. Water is not good lube. Better one person sits on the edge of the hot tube with there legs in the water.

Lazy rivers work also..

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Skill issue.

Use silicone-based lube for water play.

[–] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 5 points 19 hours ago

Instructions unclear, silicone now in bladder.

Also, it's kinda ass to put that in someone else's filter system, and you don't want to be dealing with it in yours.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but like, the water is just going to clean everything off. Especially turbulent water like a hot tub

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

It doesn’t. It takes soap to get silicone lube off.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doing anal with a girl in a hot tub isn’t much better

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 16 hours ago
[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are, so next time take off your floaties.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Nice try, I'd drown immediately if I did that

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 1 day ago

This is my favorite post of the morning. Laughed well and shared with a friend. Thanks, Onion.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dammit! These are schwimmflügel, there IS a proper English term. Use It!

Edit: Thanks @dan@upvote.au I realized a left out a diacritic mark.

[–] dan@upvote.au 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

schwimmflugel

English

🤔

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Kindergarten, Rucksack, Schadensfreude :)

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 17 hours ago

except they are and were lent from German.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's actually Schadenfreude

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Schadensfreude isn't invalid, it's just a rare variant. The "s" allows for a smoother connection between the two words. If this spelling is confusing, just pretend the "s" is silent.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 17 hours ago

Do you mean silent as in ilent?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, it's at least not valid in German. There might be people using that word in English, I don't know.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Ze fix? Ich stehe korrigiert, danke!

Aber zu meiner Verteidigung: laut Ngram-Viewer ist Schadenfreude (~0.000130%) 144-mal so häufig wie Schadensfreude (~0.00000090%).

Floaties image search: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=floaties&t=ffab&ia=images&iax=images

Nary a schwimmflügel in those results at all. I rest my case.

Honey, you have to put some elbow grease into it.

I love onions

Safety first though!

That's when you go for the foot job instead.
