Every time my parents or grandparents ask, my wife and I say we won’t be trying until one more year. I think the current value is we need to be 55 years old.

Honestly, if it was Werner Herzog asking instead of my folks... Maybe.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, the amount of damage control I had to do one Christmas when I rejected alcohol and said "no I don't really drink alcohol these days".

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Ha, amazing! Admittedly, I'm at the age where whenever one of my good drinking friends orders a non alcoholic beverage, it's usually followed by an explanation, and because we're us, a good percentage of the time that explanation does involve gestating a tiny new person.

I told my mom that I'm gay. I'm actually not, but it's really effective at getting her to stay the fuck out of my life and she no longer has any interest in such things from me.

She also doesn't try to hook me up with anyone anymore because she's a christian.

You have a baby... Then...

second breakfast meme, but with second baby as text

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looking at the family who have three kids and want more...

I always point at my older sisters 4 kids and remind nosy people that there's already enough of "us"

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Holy callback to whenever this came out. Wow. Audionauts or something. They also did a good Bane rap iirc

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Auralnauts! And yup, the Bane rap is great.

More recenrly, one of them made this 75 second masterpiece:

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's fucking hilarious. I hate that it reminds me of a certain little piggy, but other than that, that is, indeed, a masterpiece.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Awww man, I hadn't made that association. Happily, the bit is too good to ruin. (Not your fault and glad you enjoyed it!)

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I was sad to hear they're splitting up, hopefully they've got big stuff planned separately

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I was pretty choked when I saw that. I'd been excited for them to finish the new series and I was even going to get ready and probably finally watch episode 9.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

At least they're leaving the channel up for posterity. I should probably grab a backup though.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Ooooooooh, that's good thinking. They are literally my favourite youtube thing and I'd be even more gutted if corpo took them away.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Dating and already having nearly grown children in your thirties is also weird. People assume you aren’t allowed to have standards (single moms are for fun) or to raise their small children for them (mommy shopping). Or you are looking for a replacement parent (absolutely not). It’s…something.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Happened to me for like 15 years. I'm so glad she finally gave up it, especially when I was vehemently against having kids in the first place.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

✂️✂️ Best decision I've ever made. To be fair, though, the bar was subterranean, but that also explains the necessity.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am starting to think I should also get my wires crossed. I see no downside for me now that I'm already in my 30s and don't really want kids.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

There was none for me. My shitty marketplace insurance plan even paid for every last dime of it to the tune of over $6,000 (in magical, negotiated, inflated healthcare dollars, that is). I suppose they know as well as anyone how much kids cost.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Forgot to give credit where credit is die, this still is from episode 3 of the auralnauts version of Star Wars. I love pretty much everything they've done and a million percent recommend them:

Ohhhhhh, I was thinking it was from Backstroke of the West but I couldn’t fully place it

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I had never heard of Backstroke before, just looked it up and cannot wait to watch it sometime!

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Fending off both family and coworkers (friends tend to get it). Can’t get mad at them when they mean well, but it can be a bit tiresome. I know who I am and I’ll never change!! Lol.

"didn't I tell you? I donated to a bank. I've got like 30 kids, mom."

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That's Auralnauts!

Baby time! It's baby time!

La la la la la la. Du du du du duu. Du du du du duu. Du du du du - it's baby time!

Here's the original Artists' page- AURALNAUTS! If you don't know Auralnauts, then you are in for a real treat, just watch their stuff from the beginning!

AURALnauts. Yeaaahhh. Goddamn it's been a long time! I feel so.... Ollld :(

I haven't even watched the links, but I can hear both their signature intro sound AND the entirety of the stupid baby time song with c3p0 singing it in my head from apparently nearly 13 years ago. Time moves too fast :(

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You are young as a deer fawn the moment it is grossly being squeezed out of a doe's vagina and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Aww, thank you. That's so kind.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 12 hours ago

The pleasure is all mine.

“What kind of polish did you use on this table? The sheen is ridiculous! Send a bottle of whatever it is back with Darth Maul”

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

What kind of polish?

The Warsaw dialect?

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing the much more appropriate link!

Their stuff is so damned good. Existential Stormtroopers always cracks me up.

The meme is actually an attempt to exorcize Babytime from my head, where it's been stuck for the better part of a week.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Auralnauts are the only satire video producers whose songs get me on my feet and make me dance EVERY SINGLE TIME. They're genuinely my favorite band, I play their songs all the time lol! :)

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Ha, the music absolutely makes it work! Have you listened to Craven In Outer Space"s solo stuff? His synthwave remix of Hit Me Baby One More Time is genuinely one of my favourite songs of 2025. (Concerning Hobeats is up there too)

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! Why yes, I have! I fucking love that stuff. They're such amazing audio techs it's insane, I listen to their songs to learn the craft, no cop. Is that what the kids saying? No cop? Or no cap. Neither of those anyway.

'''Rollin'! Time to go solo,

No I just rolled on by'''

You are only one who:

Has a mother that wants you to to spawn kids? Finds that dating over 30 is difficult? Went on a date with a nice lady? A combination of all three?
