What if I already look like a dingus?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Then if you wear it you'll be an even bigger dingus and make other dinguses look less dingusy. It would kinda be a public service of sorts I guess.

The lesser known brother of the Overton window - the Dingerton window.

Two dingi don’t make a right. Or something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dingi.

Pronounced ding eye? Dingii? Ding gee eye?

My brain hurts now.

It rhymes with dinghy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But thats just a single dinghy.

If you pluralize that its either dinghies or dingii?

Meh, my autistic brain gets stuck on weird stupid shit like this.

Its like... If you have a donut, then a second donut, you have two donuts.

You can say two donut to be cutesy i guess?

Very hard for me to tell when being cutesy is appropriate.

One dingus, two dingi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

If the root singular word is dingus, this makes sense.

If the root singular word is dinghy, as I guess I have always said, then it does not.

Well at least I partially understand my own confusion now, thanks!

Don't they cancel each other out?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately they multiply instead of cancel

One times one is still one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

i times i is -1, though. Imagine that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That's too complex for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Hmm. They might. Hadn’t thought of that.

This requires more research. You must buy one - for science! And, I guess, for “science “.

No, if you touch two dingii together you still have two dingii.

Two sexy, sexy dingii
