This is ancient AF. Cutting off the post date is shitty,

I suppose that's fair, but the post date should still be included to prevent people who aren't familiar with it from thinking this just happened.

I’m a gay black Chinese trans stamp collector with a low flow toilet and I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to geico.

but whats your favorite stamp

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The one on your mom's lower back is up there.

i think you have me confused with someone whose mother would admit to getting a tattoo (oh these eyebrow tattoos? they're different)

Trans stamp collector or trans stamp collector?

CA queer and African transvestitic or genderish philatelist with a dynamic fluid excretion contraption that's saving money hand over fist?

As a black woman I find this amusing.

As a Bronze Age Mesopotamian copper salesman, I too feel this way.

You’ve never seen copper as fine as what my suppliers are making!

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sorry to highjack the thread, but I've been on hold with customer service for hours. I want to lodge a complaint about the poor quality copper you sold me. I need a refund.

[–] ArchEngel@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Send a stone tablet dude. Its the only way to get through to these guys.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even back in the day, you had to submit a ticket.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

How else will they keep track of the work?!?! It’s that way for a reason!! Now start chiseling!

*clay tablet

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

But I have a similar complaint with the clay salesman. The reed guy sold me defective goods too. This is bullshit!

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You son of a dog! You owe me restitution! I traded you several of my finest goats and linens, and your copper has pitted and degraded more than the copper from other traders. I see you have other complaints, yet only my downvote has been inscribed thus far. I bet you're manipulating reviews, you scalawag!

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago

As an AI enhanced dildo, I find your sense of humour wonderful.

As an underwater basket weaver from Northsouthern Scandinavia this guy seems like a dick but I have no expertise on the subject.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm going to guess you were, or are, in the US military? Am I right? Lol

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No? What made you think so?

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

"underwater basketweaving" is a phrase you hear a LOT from military and prior military in my experience. I've only ever heard it from military family

Edit: they normally add "with an emphasis in wicker"

I'm a speaking horse (I'm Bojack Horseman's sister) and am qualified to say that this is a lie because I have a PhD in lie detecting.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Well. We all heard it straight from the horses mouth.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Vaush, stop making alt accounts!

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

As a green Martian, I find this credible
