I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!

It is Italian, but doesn't mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

Also, in related news, today I learned:

In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

It's a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

My first thought was ".... Again? They need some better contraceptives" but no, it's the same one... A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

This is a sign. The second cumming of Christ.

Thats it, you won the comments section.

Even mother nature looked at our present timeline and said "Yeah...fuck it....let's see how crazy shit can get."

[–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am kind of disappointing this is actually from 2023 though! It needs to cum again.

Fake news! The entire iceberg does not look like a dick.

It’s just the tip.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

everything reminds me of her

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I always thought "D.C." meant "District of Columbia." TIL from the combination of your username and post that it means "Dildo, Canada."

Kind of a weird name for the capital of an entirely different country.

THE PROPHECY!

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, who names a bay in county Dildo Conception Bay (or vice versa)? The iceberg is just the tip!

Didn't need this to realise that but I'm glad it happened anyway.

You think that's big, you should see the size of it under the water.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also, this is what it looks like when it's cold.
