For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Back when I was married, I would not have been surprised if my water heater line looked like this when my (now ex-) wife took showers. That woman would take insanely hot showers. πŸ˜…

As an aside, she also had an insane sense of smell too.

Come to think of it, maybe she is an X-Men mutant.

Which means my kids are going to be X-Men.

Oh boy.

I disagree. It's a solid line in the image, but it's making its way toward liquid and gas rapidly.

Wow same with mine! Super long, super hot. She would do the same with our kids and get annoyed that we couldnt all bathe (excluding me since im a morning shower person) and have enough hot water for everyone. Hmmm i wonder why... explaining this was just met with eye rolls and that it shouldnt be that way. I just made the plunge for divorce as well so I just keep thinking of all the things that will be normal again. This, plus not needing 30 packs of toilet paper every month alone will probably save me a fortune and thats just the tip of the ice burg.

Burg is probably related to boroughs.

In german berg means a mountain and burg a castle or a town with fortified walls.

Back when I was married

So you're not married to her anymore?

my kids are going to be X-Men

So you haven't had kids with the woman you used to be married to, but you still intend to have kids with her in the future?

Clearly they're x-children

Sigh. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Are you doing this on purpose?

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Doing what? Pedantically over-analyzing everyone's comments? I would NEVER! 🀭
