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

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 6 points 8 hours ago

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

I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.

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.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Fuck yeah, infodump harder!

What's the word the youth uses? oh yeah,

In the old days we did this with Monty Python movies.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Of all the women I dated, the only ones who actually liked Monty Python, I wasn’t really interested in them! Of the rest, the mostly like the scene with the killer rabbit.

Meanwhile, I pretty much don’t need the sound on Holy Grail anymore.

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! 

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

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

[–] megaman@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

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

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 11 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago

It’s a good video though.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 51 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 48 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 7 points 10 hours ago

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!

And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 10 points 13 hours ago

Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 8 points 13 hours 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.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 23 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] Hond@piefed.social 24 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

your gender doesnt bother me one bit.

we gonna watch that 3 hour youtube essay about every goomba glitch in SM64 no matter what.

[–] Voxel@programming.dev 7 points 12 hours ago

That video was fire

[–] Klear@quokk.au 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

You got my hopes up, but it's only 2:24 =/

Every Goomba Glitch in Super Mario 64 by pannenkoek2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcI1kUvVMYM

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I cannot believe I watched another 2 hour video about mario 64 tricks. I think he spent more time making this video than they spent coding it.

It’s really impressive how he does those in-game graphics to illustrate radii and stuff, though.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 11 hours ago

Fascinating.

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!

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Disregarding the genders, in proper communication it’s the senders responsibility to encode their message in a way that can be decoded by the listener.

Sharing your emotions are not so different, it’s still the senders responsibility to share more directly if their partner is not picking up on it.

[–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Just make sure they are really uncomfortable when they do it.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 15 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

The woman in this scenario is still sitting and watching the video though?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure if the makers of this meme considered this but the woman in there is an escort/partner robot, she is designed to please him (who is also a, more advance, android himself)

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

It makes the meme even more sad that the implication may be that women have to be paid and/or designed to be interested in their partners.

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
