Unsurprising, 90% of aeronautical engineering people are furries.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

It turns out that everyone in every industry is a furry, except that one guy reading this.

[-] closetfurry@yiffit.net 9 points 9 months ago

Whew. I was almost starting to get worried

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Social isolation tends to lead to hyperfixations. Whether that be airplanes or computers.

[-] nyoooom@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Nah that's just the autism

[-] Betch@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Kind of a chicken or egg situation, but I also think it's the 'tizz,

[-] Abnorc@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

is this why flying is so safe? As far as I’ve heard, if you want something done right, make sure the furries do it.

[-] wlsnt@reddthat.com 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Just like software developers/devops

OwO will conquer the world

[-] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 48 points 9 months ago

It will be a better world UwU

[-] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

I’m out of the loop with this. Isn’t this some gay furry dog whistle?

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 42 points 9 months ago

No, it is but a poor approximation of Θώθ, the Greek name of the Egyptian God of Wisdom. Unfortunately most keyboards cannot type the language of the gods, so we poor mortals must make do with OwO.

(/s. It might have started among furries but is pretty much a meme at this point.)

[-] MustrumR@kbin.social 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

From my experience a bit but not really.

I did meet a lot of gays and furries (VR Chat player) and I don't think they have any dog whistles. OwO does indeed helps them recognize people that don't hate them, but it isn't meant to be unregonizable by bigots.

It's more of a opposite, people saying OwO want to be obnoxious. Saying it is either a show that one doesn't mind being seen as gay/furry (and isn't necessarily), or straight up wants to annoy someone.

[-] z500@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Is OwO back? I thought uwu replaced it

[-] shikogo@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

I see more OwO with furries and UwU with weebs but both are alive and well UwU

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 23 points 9 months ago

It's more an all round deviant thing

I'm not a furry, but I find OwO funny as hell

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Use it in a sentence so I can understand the joke. I don't get it.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

Not everything's funny to everyone, man. Maybe it's just not your thing. It basically just implies you're horny and want to fuck whatever you're talking about. Or personifies an object as horny, as in the image.

"That's a big tree. OwO."

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

If O_O is a normal surprised face, OwO is an animalistic surprised face. That's the origin really. Anything else is just contextualization and Internet phenomena.

"Oh man that's a big cucumber O_O" sexually implied sentence.

"Oh man that's a big cucumber OwO" sexually implied sentence, but furry.

[-] pory@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Spiders be like OoOowoOoO

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's a whistle for dogs alright :3

(yes, though I wouldn't even really call it much of a dog whistle, it's not very hidden)

[-] Rockyrikoko@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

[-] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 9 months ago

Why, ya considering a future into puppy play?

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 5 points 9 months ago

Started out as a furry thing, think it's been taken up by weebs now as well. Not sure if it's non furry weebs tho, as you might imagine there's a bit of overlap

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

As someone who was there when the ancient lore was written, OwO has been a thing among weebs for just as long if not longer.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Specifically it's supposed to look like eyes and smile of a dog.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 53 points 9 months ago

OwO what's this? I say, just before drilling a small hole in the fuel tank of the plane moments before takeoff.

[-] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 9 months ago

I am terrified thinking about how many pilots or aircraft engineers zerk off to aeromorph porn. There is too much plane porn online, some of you people are lying about being innocent.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

I'm weirdly ok with that so long as the pilot can't climax without a picture perfect flight and landing.

[-] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 42 points 9 months ago

Sounds like that dude wrote hundreds of OwO's and is trying to cover his tracks

[-] Fjern@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago

If you see OwO written like on a wall or something like this, you are supposed to add a U at the end. "One world, One utopia"

To show the original OwO messenger that you are part of the Owous.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 9 months ago

So,

If you see OwOU written like on a wall or something like this, you are supposed to add a U at the end. "One world, One utopia"

To show the original OwOU messenger that you are part of the OwoUus.

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 27 points 9 months ago

Looks like this is the modern-day Kilroy.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 26 points 9 months ago
[-] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 14 points 9 months ago

I just saw an OwO scrawled in a cargo bin on a commercial flight last week myself.
