So... We're all just not gonna talk about the fact that 'Root' is apparently a traditional girl's name now, huh?

Snoop doggy dooooooooog

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 year ago

According to BabyCenter.com user data, it's the 13,388th most popular boy's name. https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names/details/root-1704004

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

Root probably comes from Ruth, which is for sure a traditional girl's name

Reminds me of an idiot on FB asking why men's rooms don't have changing stations. "Why don't they, huh?! Ever thought about that?!"

Then a friend of hers told her that almost all do have diaper stations. Then she really got dog piled.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Tbf there was a point not too long ago where most men's rooms didn't have a diaper station

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Suppose it must be regional. Back when I was a kid, 20 long years ago, men's rooms having a diaper station was the norm.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

It's probably regional, 20 years ago is when it started changing for my area

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that is definitely a newer development. I'd bet the vast majority of men's rooms that have them didn't get them at the same time as the women's rooms, unless the building itself is fairly new construction.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Even with my youngest (5), I would always use the bathroom early and check to see if they had a changing station prior to him potentially pooping himself. The majority of the time there was, but the times there wasn't was often enough to make it worth checking. Only if my wife was with us, though, otherwise it was a roll of the dice.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She posted that 25 years ago, and stations were plenty common in our town (Tulsa).

I've been known to go into the women's room to change a diaper when the men's room doesn't have a changing table. It doesn't happen often, but it's supremely irritating to me as a dad.

[–] psivchaz@reddthat.com 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One time I was at a restaurant and I noted that it didn't have a changing station. Sure enough, during the meal my kid needed to be changed. I asked my wife if her restroom had a changing station, and she told me it did.

So I took my kid up to the host stand and asked to talk to the manager. I politely explained that I needed to change a diaper but there wasn't a changing station in the restroom so asked which table I could use, or if I should just use the bench in the waiting area. Manager got flustered and had a waitress check if the women's room was empty and then stood outside the door while I changed the diaper.

About a year later I happened to go back, and I did notice that the men's room had a changing table. It's a small thing, but I felt like I won one.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Good on you and good on that restaurant! Progress is build up of small victories.

It depends where you live. But it does majorly suck when you end up needing to change your kid in a place that doesn't have it in the men's bathroom (I'm a dude). Hell, it happened to me over the holidays when I went out with extended family that was visiting to a nice restaurant. I was changing my daughter's dirty diaper on the stupid little countertop area in the bathroom that had all the concierge type amenities. I just pushed all that crap into the corner to make room and one of the staff came in and gave me a look and I just commented they should install a proper changing station in the men's bathroom in the future.

[–] Benign@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In northern Europe they are always in the HC bathrooms. I'v never seen one inside a gendered bathroom.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Is HC just a unisex/family bathroom or something? Those are somewhat common here in the US, but not common enough to be reliably present at commercial facilities. They're mostly common in publicly funded buildings and/or kid oriented businesses.

Nut milk comes from male cows.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Just like piss comes from the balls.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I put it in my protein shakes

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I mean... think of the gains!

[–] miak@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I love a bit of Bull Yogurt to garnish my Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Edit: would be fun if a restaurant serving Rocky Mountain Oysters would provide the names of the bulls that provided for my meal.

Now that’s an idea for a sketch!

When the yogurt says it's "extra thick" and "has added protein" but comes from cows named Bill, Bob, Jake and Carl.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago

Fanny yoghurt sounds like they might need antibiotics

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is just bullshit. There's no way they'll keep milk from different cows separate just to be able to label the bottles

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 year ago

TBF, if it's a small farm, they could easily list all the cows for a certain batch of product.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I’m thinking you’re missing the point of this post….

Check here for milk from Bulls.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I hear Zuckerberg is starting a company selling yogurt from bulls. He personally tastes each sample to ensure their quality.

[–] kif@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

Informabull, thanks!

consuming animals

Does "Dumb Bitch" think yogurt is literally made out of cows...?

Idk there are plenty of people who like boymilk :3

Riiiight.. Guess we should call cows, which are female, by male names? Then we can eat them.
