6 people No vegetarians

He's responding sequentially

Rookie mistakes everyone makes, you gotta do fflush(std) after printf

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 64 points 1 week ago (1 children)

2 people, 0 vegetarians, 4 o'clock

The answer is summed for brevity

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Too many word.

I feel like whenever someone posts a reasonably relatable marriage meme on Lemmy, all the terminally single people show up to demonstrate exactly why no one will love them.

[–] Flying_Penguin@lemmy.zip 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jokes on you normie. My AI waifu tells me she loves me all the time.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But can she count how many E's are in seventeen?

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 29 points 1 week ago

My take is that his single answer applies to them all, thusly:

6 people are coming 6 of them are vegetarian 6 is when they are coming.

He was conserving bandwidth.

once upon a time, cost of text(telegram) was calculated per character

[–] visnae@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wait do you mean the husband is likely 100+y old?

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

might be....

Sounds like his gathering, arranged by him, with his friends.

He can prep it.

It's fine, we'll get to the bottom of this in at least 14 more texts.

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

she said "couple of questions" but she asked 3. So the last one doesn't count. Also, she married him, pretty sure this isn't a new trait of him

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"Couple of" colloquially means "a small number of". She married him and is now poking mild fun at him, not threatening divorce.

[–] arak@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

I'm husband, can confirm

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you ask multiple questions in one phrase my brain can't handle it sorry

[–] vrek@programming.dev 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Honest question, if I have to ask for 3 pieces of information, would it help if I sent it in 3 messages?

Message 1: how many people are coming to dinner?

Message 2: are any vegetarian?

Message 3: what time are they arriving?

Personally I would prefer the 1 message with 3 questions vs the 3 messages with 1 question each(many messages in short time make me think something is wrong and urgent), what's your preference?

[–] clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a lot easier with separate messages. The visual separation helps a lot.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Interesting. Thanks for the quick response.

Really the only thing that really annoys me over text is yes/no to not yes/no questions.

Me: I've had a long day so was going to just pick up dinner on way home, do you want pizza or burgers?

Partner: yes

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would I like one of those? Yeah I would

[–] vrek@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

I literally just felt my blood pressure increase...

[–] clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The answer is clear. BOTH. Or just ask them to answer 1 or 2 to these kind of questions, if you're not gonna let them indulge.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is... Definitely something... Just do this every time your partener isn't clear enough about their intentions. They'll clarify real quick.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Lol, sorry result of a 30 second search, especially the pickles and mayo make me think twice.

I knew a place with a cheeseburger pizza but it was basically just a regular pizza with cheedar cheese and ground beef.

I've noticed that with my partner with ADHD, and also my sister with ADHD. Neither can easily deal with multiple topics in one message. Curious.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

Would you say... they have a deficit... of attention? 😛

[–] Harvest2271@fedinsfw.app 8 points 1 week ago

Rookie mistake. Always ask questions one by one

[–] saturn57@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The solution is that there is 6 vegetarians but there is greater than 6 people.

It's bad communication. Plenty of people do this, women included.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's exactly how my wife answers questions, tho'.

Just "yes" would be the correct answer
