A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Edit, it's the underwear that is white in this question.

Tighty whities

Cause they are tight fitting and white.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Itchy britchies

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

And in some unfortunate cases, not tidy.

A friend got pantsed back in middle school, revealing tighty whities and a brown stain. After that he was forever known as Skidmark Steve.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Oof. That's unfortunate

[–] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tighty whitey because they fit snuggly and they are overwhelmingly white in color...

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

*snugly. Snuggly is something different.

[–] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 10 months ago

i said what i said... lol...i'm going to leave it anyway

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If it is tight fitting, then you bought the wrong size.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Why do you keep posting this?

The only danger there is someone may misunderstand and think you have a manatee in your pants.

On second thought, that’s not a danger. It’s an opportunity for hilarity.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Is that manatee in your pants or are you REALLY happy to see me?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hell son, they sure ain't tidy I'll tell you that.

[–] dangercake@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

Not with that attitude they aren't

Huh. When I first got to Lemmy, I looked around for the no dumb questions community, look like it has grown a lot since then!

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Are briefs segregated by skin color where you live ? /s

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

Hi diddly ho, my friendly Lemmy-writo!

This might also depend on how much you want to sound like Ned Flanders... So take your pick carefully!

Tighty white supremacy

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If it is tight, then you bought the wrong size.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

Does that change the name?
