Refusing to use nail polish remover to clean off permanent marker because that's "for women". It's acetone, my dude, acetone.

All solvents are gay. That includes water, the gayest of solvents.

This makes sense, every gay person I've met drank water.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's like my science used to say in grade school, "100% of people who consume dihydrogen monoxide end up dead".

Water has quite a few side effects, the evidence is clear!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just like how 100% of people that conflate correlation & causation die.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean it was sarcasm

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Phrasing is wrong. You have consumed water and are alive.

The correct phrasing could be something like "100% of people who died have consumed dihydrogen monoxide at some point in their lives".

You have consumed water and are alive.

Bold assumption! Jokes aside, perhaps that was the phrasing that he used. Unfortunately it's been quite a while since I was in grade school.

Water, the universally gay, solvent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The H in H2O stands for homosexual, it’s true, look it up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If only it could dissolve the gay away.

Meanwhile I buy my wife nail polish that just happens to be the same color as something I need to touch-up or paint.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"metallic grey...gee...thanks?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have at least 2 dozen metallic grey nail polishes lol... I'd be stoked to get another!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Real men use isopropyl alcohol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I don't even know what that means... Like you got a sharpie mark on you? Permanent marker on a white board? What scenario is that lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
