Lol so oblivious. They obviously just take turns using the bed.

[-] Blum0108@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago

They take shifts like on a submarine

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 38 points 11 months ago

So they alternate going down?

[-] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 11 points 11 months ago

It's only polite

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Stairs? Right? You mean going downstairs to keep guard in the kitchen, right?

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

That way they always have one on guard duty

When my now wife spoke of her "two unmarried aunts who live together in the same bedroom", I wasn't expecting that they were sisters who just kept living together in the same bedroom with different beds on either side of the room, even splitting it sitcom style with a clearly defined line down the center, for 60 years.

And when I explained to her that my friends "aunts" are not actually sisters, they are in fact lesbians who have been together since long before marriage was legal and now just don't see the point in a piece of paper when they've spent the last 35 years together, she had her own moment of realization.

I explained about Sappho and her friend, how that was basically what you had to be among older generations that had to hide it, just roommates. Then promptly showed her that video.

You're only stupid when you stop being curious.

Here you go: https://youtu.be/4ZuydxEUpFM?si=klh0sb9EcC9hpElB

city street, woman walks by talking on the phone

voice fading in "And they were roommates!"

camera swings around to film phone holder

"oh my good they were roommates"

Each time I see something from Vine, I'm flabbergasted at how much of a fuck-up it was for Twitter to shut it down.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Lmaoo, this video is somehow cult in the community?

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 11 months ago

Funnily enough on of the various places I've lived while working in tourism really was a small room with two beds that would've been split straight down the middle if they ever gave me a roommate but there were only ever 3 people living in the place at any one time and nobody else wanted to share the smaller room with me, which is fair since that was the most even division of the space.

"...OMG they were roommates"

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

I often wonder if that lady knows she's one of those most quoted people on the internet.

[-] afk_strats@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

My headcannon is that she knows. She had too much of a vibe to not know what Vines were.

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

Saw a tblr thread stating she was the poster's sister's kid's teacher

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks Simone.

I was in my thirties when my aunts stopped being roommates. I had the good fortune to go to their wedding.

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

I mean they're probably still roommates. Just roommates with (tax) benefits.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Well he's not wrong.
