I told a coworker once that m&ms were my kryptonite and she went and gave me a huge bag of them. I don't think the average person understands what kryptonite is.

Saying something is your weakness is common to say it's something you enjoy so much you can't help yourself.

Missed opportunity by not dropping dead at the sight of them

In hindsight it’s good superman never needed surgery as a kid.

When he did need a fake tooth extraction he used his heat vision to puncture the sedation gas tube to drug the dentist

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That seems incredibly unsafe, is Supes qualified to administer the gas?

Worst part is that he only wanted it to fake medical procedures as reinforcement for his Clark Kent persona. This was when he was in school (iirc, i read the comic from my fathers collection as a child) so couldnt possibly have gotten any qualifications for sedation yet

Edit: I think it was golden age supes, iirc he also faked bad eyesight and a broken arm in the same comic. Anyone else knows which story Im recalling? Which one was it? He was planning to send a robot for any later dentistry appointments which lacked the tooth

Clearly written by someone who never read the Evil Overlord List.

Maybe they did understand and just wanted you to die.

[–] lath@piefed.social 26 points 1 day ago

Forbidden pleasure that you're too weak to hold back from.

Wouldn't it be you who's using the word wrong? Or do M&Ms literally make you weak/kill you?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're not good for you, and I can eat a family size bag without stopping. So yeah, they make my resolve weak and lead to premature death.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 23 hours ago

And you eat the bag without stopping because you really like them.. So clearly she understood exactly what you meant.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

I mean, they do. They’re not exactly there for the nutrition.

She was hitting on you, kryptonite makes you weak in the knees and vulnerable for her to attack.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Nah, getting him weak to make her move

You now are locked in a wicked battle of the wits with your own personal nemesis.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damnit. I always wanted a nemesis and this Lemmite just casually picks one up with a throwaway comment.

[–] FluorineBalloon@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That... That sounds exactly like something my arch nemesis would say! Someday you shall face the wrath of... The Procrastinator!! Mwoooohahahaha!

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

I see. A nemesis who waits to strike from the shadowy future.

I won't stand for it! I'll stop you before you even start, Procrastinator!

The average person is actually illiterate like in a legitimately does not understand language beyond a 5th grade level kinda way
