Nebulous cloud of pollen concurs.

[–] Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the surrounding flora: "That's right, lay down like that, let me pollen all over you"

That implies that bukkake's arent usually vegan. I am confused.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, humans are technically animals, so no.

[–] Bdtrngl@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't veganism usually based on consent? Therefore consensual bukkake is vegan.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point, I suppose that depends on the definition of veganism you prefer. Usually a moot point since you can't meaningfully apply it to anybody but humans.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Keen to try eating some vegan human meat.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Vat-grown meat will probably offer you that opportunity soon!

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ok, I have to know, WTF is that? Context?

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Looks like a tree full of pollen getting cut down.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got a pre-roll ad for antihistamines before this video. Well-targeted.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah but with a refractory period like that, who cares?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

A++

Great format, reminds me a bit of the short form video of what going live would be like in medieval times

laughs maniacally in permethrin + DEET

I'll see you in hell, ticks!

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wish DEET didn't melt my clothes.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never apply DEET to your clothes, that is what permethrin is for and it works great! Put it on all your outdoor clothes/gear!

DEET works great but is only for skin, let it dry first too.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Permethrin on shoes and clothes, DEET on skin?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had DEET on my skin and sat in a UBER and my leg was sitting against the door of the car. After I left, I took paint and plastic with me on my leg after a 15 min ride.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, DEET will melt synthetic stuff: Let it dry on your skin before you do anything and for clothes/gear use permethrin

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It was dry, but I started sweating and it became liquid again.

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

Ooof.

Silver lining, maybe the fee was cheaper than the healthcare after a bad bite. Did you pay something?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No, I actually didn't notice until after I already left. I was wondering why my leg has melted plastic on it. Lol

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

DEET scarred my water bottle, but it's no biggie because I've scarred it worse by dropping it.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

Mold spores give it five stars.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ticks are glad it's summer again.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

If people could see what I’m seeing, they’d never go outside again

Quoting what I remember reading a year or two back from a doctor who treats Lyme / tick diseases. Horrifying.
