Her dream of having two boyfriends is gone.

Pornhub has taught me that it is known as 'spit-roasting'

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 70 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, imagine she's standing between the two of them instead.

Spitroasting is |-°Π-|

This is our modern day equivalent of cave painting and I would follow your tribe on the next mammoth hunt

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And then we should ~~spit~~roast it!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ooga booga .... lead on!!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's not truly spit roasting unless she is rotating on the penises over a fire.

..and that's why you got kicked out of the boy scouts!

The steam had to get out somehow.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's like calling all sex "doggy style".

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

So what, one takes waist up and the other's on booty duty?

Edit: Lawrence is going to ban me for adult content.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Booty duty. Gotta introduce that term to the wife.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

She's got two feet, doesn't she?

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's hamburger style but you can also go hotdog style

Chop chop dig dig

Where the hell is the spider?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Last panel, red spider, on the blue shirt.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ah thank you!! It was driving me insane

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, that was sneaky!

One if the ways i have judged people is by imagining how well they would get along with their own clone.

Its of course easy to talk hypothetically but i always felt we would quickly arrive at a mutual understanding that we must obtain an equilibrium at all costs.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 26 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like we'd pause in deep thought for a moment, and then see which games we have are couch co-op, while niether of us clean the dishes.

"....Huh."
"....Huh."

"So... completely identical?"
"So... completely identical?"

"Cool... cool... cool... 42? 99? 007."
"Cool... cool... cool... 42? 99? 007."

"...Yeah..."
"...Yeah..."

"We never tell anyone."
"We never tell anyone."

"Dibs on dayti- ... Shit."

Odd question but why does it have to be clone? What about a sibling or perhaps a twin? Or are those effectively equivalent too and I'm just splitting hairs?

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

Because they are not the same person so their needs, maturity and personality are different.

The person that made me come up with this is actually my sister (during a teenage phase). She would have hated if people used her own rhetoric against her.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well I hate myself so I don't see that going well

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I myself feel like if I could do shadow cloning, Naruto style,(situational clones that stop existing once the task is done) I'd absolutely use it to tag team difficult tasks around the house. I have ADHD and take Adderall, though. Would my clone also be on Adderall, as well? We get shit done, then they all disappear, leaving the original, me.

[–] RecipeForHate1@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 weeks ago

My partner would instantly shoot anyone who dared say "work twice as much." Safe to say, it wouldn’t be me

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'd work double and rake in the simoleans, at least for awhile. Technically, I'm not doing any more work than I was already. Even for the long term, retire in 20 vs 40?

OR, we split down and use the free time to pursue other lines of making money. "Fuck you. Your turn at Lowe's, I'm making dog houses today."

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean you could work 3/4 as hard for 1.5x the money. But presumably you'd have to spend more to support two people, too.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol at the idea that working harder will get you paid more. Also if you aee sharing most things housing. Non disposable household items, car. Your only major cost would be food and most of the time you throw out from spoiled waste than eat. So having an extra mouth would be minimal.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

More like you can work two jobs. But take less hours.

I'd say the percentage of income spent on food probably depends heavily on your income though. Plus for housing you'd probably need an extra room (unless you want to bunk with your clone), but that probably wouldn't add up to twice as much rent.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

True but that kind of defeats the purpose of them being a clone.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There would definitely be a lot of stuff that would need to be doubled, e.g. I would definitely get into trouble with laundry if I tried to clothe two people with my one person wardrobe, and if my clone is an independent being they'll still want a PC and phone (it would be really complicated to set up some kind of timeshare system, especially if they're working a separate job - you could have one clone work in the morning and one in the evening, but not everyone is cut out for working late). Bunking would probably work, but that's going to get real weird if you're living in a flatshare or with a partner. And oh, sharing a partner would be a huge problem if we're assuming the clone is an independent being, even if they're actually a good sport about it in general.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah see this is why you don't really want a clone, you want a half-lobotomized body copy that can complete tasks for you and understand reasonably complex instructions but doesn't have that pesky free will. Then you can just make them sleep in the closet or something.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Depends where you live, here the living costs are almost entirely housing which don't change as you add more people.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

That's not a clone, thats an imposter!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

beautiful .... best laugh I've had in a long time

You can do this already, how much would each individual in a large polycule end up paying towards the monthly bills? Adding more people to the house makes almost no difference to my monthly expenses as its almost entirely mortgage and council tax which won't change with more people. Monthly costs are like house/tax £1300, food £60 each. Maybe a little more energy from more showers, but reduced heating in winter as people put out about 100w of heat each.

Get some pod bunkbeds and really fill the house with people. 2 bedrooms? Lets stick 12 people in there, decent pods will cost several thousand if you want something extremely good and sound proofed, basically fuck all compared to the cost of a house. Larger bedroom can have pods stacked 2 high and 1 stack in the smaller bedroom with 2 in the larger one, each taking 2 people.

Overcrowd your way to affordable housing but with a little bit of money (which you more than make up for in the housing savings) and you can have it pretty nice.

Current costs about £750/each for 2 people. Make it 12 and it comes to like £150-200 each. Just think how little work you would need to do! Or how much money you could have for luxuries.
