TIL I should eat beans before a date.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is lemmy, we'll encourage you to eat beans for all scenarios

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

Beans are very nutritious high in both protien and fiber. Truly a great food

When you wait until he's asleep and then try on his colon.

Jokes on you, these were actually written by dogs enjoying the sweet scent of manass.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Oh shit that took me far too long.

But when did this horrible trend start with young men putting like half a bottle of cologne on them?

(it's a major issue for me due to sensory overload)

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing since cologne was invented.

FWIW I went to high school in the early-mid 00s, and during those days, it wasn’t cologne - it was Axe body spray. My friends and I would joke about there being ads in the future similar to the, “Did you work at such-and-such and develop mesothelioma? You may be entitled to compensation.” Except instead of asbestos filling your lungs and giving you a disease, it’s Axe. That crap was in the air perpetually.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

It was always Lynx/Axe Africa as well

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Oh god, the smell of the middle school side of the building... it was putrid. Axe mixed with with misted body odor from the boys who had gym in the morning.

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 month ago

It's not just young men. There are men and women of all ages who wear too much perfume or cologne. I seem to be allergic to some of them, because I will often have my sinuses suddenly clog up, get a massive headache and swelling in my throat from smelling them.

On multiple occasions at work, it's been so bad that I have to go ask a coworker to take over helping a customer because their perfume is giving me such a severe reaction. Then the perfume continues to linger for hours after they are gone.

I remember in highschool that some of the other boys seemed to think AXE body spray was an adequate substitute for showering regularly.

It's not. It just makes you smell like AXE and BO.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Find a colon scent that works for you. You'll be surprised how women respond to it and it'll make you feel more confident! One of my favorites smells like wood and leather, for example.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Love to know what your diet is.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They're actually a beaver.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Then it would smell like vanilla

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

The lovely part is that the voiding of said area has a unique sound. Just imagine, as the beaver buddy, hearing three distinct sounds coming from the bathroom. You'd know which one to head in after to take a sniff.

It took reading the comments for me to realise this was about cologne.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

If "Bologna" is "baloney", should "Cologne" be "caloney" or "calonay"? Or colony, it's a cognate of the roman place name "Colonia Agrippina".

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If "Bologna" is "baloney"

It's not

I defend with "Colonia Agrippina" only if the enemy knows both Capo Ferro and Thibault. Of course they rarely realize I'm not left handed.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium or CCAA was the name. Today it's Köln tho so good luck with that :p

I'm so spelling pilled I thought that was the joke

No joke, those women are just into pegging.

Why thank you, I can bottle some up for you later..

You wanna go get some Taco Bell?

Köln*

Colon is closer in spelling than Cologne

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Would any of you like to try my colon?

Or a bunch of us get together and try each others colons, like a gang?
Wow, imagine how eye opening that would be. The lovely fumes of all those used colons just hanging in the air...

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Women : Ew, he looked at pictures of feet? That gives me the ick!
Also women : Oh, that guy is coming by...

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

This might come as a shock, but women have a wide variety of opinion on different things, much like men do.

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shout out to Colon, Michigan, magic capital of the world.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 12 points 1 month ago

I hope it's a sister city of Darmstadt, Germany.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

How much cologne do these guys spray on? It’s the least concentrated scent, it’s 90% alcohol. Shouldn’t last longer than an hour or two.

Or do these people think cologne is what parfum for men is called?

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean they obviously don't know what colon is, how do you expect them to know the difference between cologne (a word they don't know) and parfum?

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

These terms are interchangeable from a product sales perspective.
