The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.

I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel "Technological Connections")

Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it! 

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

It’s a good video though.

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D

[–] megaman@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago (4 children)

A female friend of mine says Technology Connections is "boy coded". Well, she is missing out

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am female and disagree with your friends. I love Technology Connections and Alec.

It's weird that people are trying to gender things like this

There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.

He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don't utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what's being run through.

I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

"Babe, a follow up on the dishwasher just dropped"

Well i know what we will watch this weekend.

I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.

I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.

Women: Men don't know how to share their feelings.

Men: share feelings indirectly through content because it allows them to place some distance between themselves and their fear of criticism for having insecurities

Women: Gawd, I don't care!

What’s masculine about it? My wife does this to me all the time.

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 28 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The number of women in my environment who do this to me is fucking ridiculous.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 11 points 2 months ago

Maybe it’s because you’re in their environment!

I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.

The feminine urge to watch your boyfriend's videos that you won't find funny or entertaining

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 8 points 2 months ago
[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

Started watching YouTube with my SO but unlike OP found content we could both enjoy.

It ruined my recommendations and I'm ok with that.

Fun story... We were watching something together and I dozed off holding the remote. Woke up 10 minutes later and YT had auto played some car restoration video. "Sorry, I must've been tired. I'll find something else." "DON'T YOU DARE. I'm invested now. I have to see if they're gonna get this thing to start!"

My penguin.

the masculine urge to bite myself as hard as i can while a woman watches

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why is this gendered? This is just a thing annoying people do to other people.

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 5 points 2 months ago

This place attracts a lot of fundie social justice warriors, unfortunately. Or it's Russian trolls, same difference.

Yeah well I don't particularly want to watch TikTok videos about cabinet refurbishment. I also dislike the suggestion that "we should do this".

Content of the post aside, this is one of the worst types of guys on the internet. Celebrity avatar posting celebrity pictures. Get a personality, man
