Funny how some people still cling to feminine = bad.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 82 points 1 week ago (1 children)

its just shitty people outing themselves

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Call me sexist, but being a person is such a girly thing to do. It's also such a boy... ly? Boily? ... Boys do it, too.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the word is boyish and its counterpart is girlish.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, boyish girlish, I love her music!

Those manosphere guys only think about strong sweaty broze colored men plowing the fields.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Glistening with sweat, displaying their power with every movement - the biceps, the pectorals, the glutes. Appearing through the dust they worked up while performing their task, unphased by the swirl of nature around them, unbound by the chaotic entropy of the multidimensional Coriolis vortex that they themselves stand at the point of, defiant, inevitable. Adorned with bronze, forged from the same Earth they demand fealty of.

What's not to love?

[–] tquid@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Little rills of sweat making temporary clean streaks in the dust, tracing down across the belt of Adonis, pointing to what is hidden but implied... Sorry, where was I? Plowing. Right, plowing, like manly, definitely straight guys.

Plowing.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm working hard with sweaty men to own the libs

Just chilling near a river, and before you know it some shithead invents spreadsheets again

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Explain to me exactly what's wrong with spreadsheets?

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Spreadsheets are like money. They aren't inherently evil and can even be really cool, but being forced to use them sucks a lot of the fun out of it.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 13 points 1 week ago

I'm gonna need you to come in Saturday to do some more spreadsheets, mmmk

It is funny seeing an increase in young men trying to retcon their choice to not pursue higher education by claiming "real men do blue collar work".

My field used to be like 95% men when I started around 20 years ago. I work in medicine, but our specialty uses a lot of heavy machinery and tools to fabricate custom braces and prosthetics. I work at a university hospital and we haven't had a male resident in like 5 years.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s funny because if you dip your toes into a lot of blue collar work, you’ll find it still requires (or at least significantly benefits from) college education. I’ve met a few people majoring in landscaping or recreation, there’s a lot of advanced shit to learn. I know I sure as hell couldn’t figure out how to use plants to draw water uphill, but that’s what one of the places I volunteer at is doing with their planting. It’s not just men standing around grunting at each other and doing whatever until it looks decent.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Would you mind explain the water thing, and point me to some sources I could check out? I'm sitting in a drying landscape tasked with distributing the available water, and I'm learning how plants and water interact by watching the landscape directly. I would love to find what others have done so far!

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The way it was explained to me was that as the plants we’re putting on an incline grow and intertwine their roots, just normal water uptake from the roots closest to the water source (a spillway for us) will result in some water very slowly making its way uphill underground into the surrounding soil, via the roots. And then the next plants closest to the plant closest to the water will start taking up that water, and repeat the process. I have no idea of this is a local adaptation for Southwest US plants or something that all plants everywhere do, I just show up to haul shit around and listen to all the knowledge the project leaders have! If you feel like waiting a week and a half I can ask for more specific resources about it.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Yes, if you can find out more I'd be super excited - successful restoration of sources and watersheds, which trees, any science published around this, or any practical advice.

Thanks for sharing, and thanks for volunteering, sounds like a really cool project!

Real men dont work at farms, they own farms. Its the farmhands that do the sissy work like plant crops and go to college.

Then who did the surgery on my son??

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 20 points 1 week ago

The surgeon was you all along! And also you’re his mother!

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Was sitting in a capstone senior class at my liberal arts university. Happened to be taking it with a bunch of business majors. Some dipshit derails the entire class by saying "why do we need to learn any of this stuff, like history? I just want to make money."

"Haven't you ever heard the phrase about history repeating itself?"

"Well, if it's going to repeat itself, then I'll just learn about it when it happens again."

There was a literal business school like five miles down the road. And this guy chose to enroll in a liberal arts university and stay for four years. I get that the industrialization of higher education gave us that bullshit "go to college in order to get a higher paying job" and so this dude clearly just bought into that. But... again, no one was forcing him to go to a liberal arts school.

It's just rectangles. Human urge calls for spreadsheets.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Some children yearn for the mines, and the others for the spreadsheets.

They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets

I'm having a hard time understanding this. Is feminity considered a bad thing? Is the use of spreadsheets being looked down on here? Is the trade of grain in ancient Samaria look being looked down on?

What exactly was the point of this post?

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My reading is that it's an intentionally absurd example to lampoon guys who unironically do the "feminine=bad" schtick.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

No, the sexism really doesn’t come across as ironic.

Could you imagine blowing their mind with like, 1999 excel

"So you do vlookup like this and then drag it down to autofill."

xlookup rather than vlookup - we're not living in the Ubaid period.

Ah, the Index/Match technique, I haven't used this one since Heian era

Excel is legitimately incredibly impressive though. That’s like saying imagine how impressed they would be that we’ve been to space and eradicated diseases.

I’m not a computer person though, so maybe I’m just the easily impressed Sumerian farmer, proving your point.

Oh damn, I thought this was going to be about sub-standard copper ignots.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I believe the bad copper notes only survived because he kept them to shove them in their faces when they came back to buy more.

Only planet known to support life in the entire universe and all of existence.

Let’s have spreadsheets and taxes and shit.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 12 points 1 week ago

Spreadsheets were needed for distribution of stored grain to start.

Taxes were used to make it easier to manage soldiers. It was easier to give them coin instead of managing food and stuff for an army.

If we'd stay away from agriculture, all this could've been prevented.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

Nah, spreadsheets are neat. And we need to tax the rich. Let's maybe do away with AI data centers instead.

It's all spreadsheets all the way down, isn't it?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

"something feminine about"

You got a problem with that?
