Later Jesus was forced to walk across Legos by the Romans

Forgive them father, for they know not of stepping on a 2x2 brick at 3am.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

That's punishment for 'Legos'.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I do not respect corporations. Legos.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If that were true, you'd just call them building blocks.

In Germany we call them Klemmbausteine, because fuck Lego.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let's go harder and do Lego's. Lego's

Well okay I respect one corporation I'll call it hook and loop

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I will call them Legos till the day I die, like everyone I know has for 50 years.

I never heard them called "Lego" until the last few years. So its like kleanex and xerox

Legos legos legos legos legos legos

Don't know (m)any Europeans then?

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago

One Lego would be pretty useless, except as a caltrop.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If I see more than one thing, I put an "s" at the end of it.

I don't support Lego tryin to be like "sheep" and "deer." 🙄

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is "a Lego"; in Europe, that's typically not the way the word is used.

I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I'd misread your comment, and I don't want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you've said...

How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

All but one of those examples you mentioned are liquid, so they kinda don't fit into this question 🤷🏼‍♀️ because we would say "a bottle of glue" or "a can of Mace" or "a bowl of jello" or "a can of kerosene." I don't even want to contemplate AstroTurf /astroturfs, it bugs me 🤣

I think the Lego/Legos debate is similar to the GIF/"JIF" debate.

One just seems intuitively correct tothe majority of people without overthinking it, and the other sounds & feels wrong.

Fuckin' Jesus... He's always like this.

[–] Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

This is why

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Now you can have the satisfaction of smashing it to pieces and then you get to build it, in the end you've got a fully constructed set and you didn't have to build it twice.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I think that guy might be an impostor.

The divine L~~o~~egos

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago

Did anyone else see not a foot in a sandle, but Jesus's weird dick hanging out of his robes?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hate this anti-Mexican bullshit.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Jesus (pronounced differently) is a common Mexican name.
