The number of women in my environment who do this to me is fucking ridiculous.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 4 points 2 hours ago

Maybe it’s because you’re in their environment!

I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

In the old days we did this with Monty Python movies.

Comment all your favorite 1h+ videos here. I'll watch them eventually

  • HelloFutureMe's rewrite of Legend of Korea that would make it a good show, rather than the most-retcon-filled bullshit I've ever seen.
  • Mother's Basement's Happy Science Trilogy (look for "a cult made this anime", and strap the fuck in, because the 8th-dimensional spirit of Isaac Newton is here to convince you to pay some Japanese guy all of your money)

I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.

I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

What you share your vague niche interests with the person you care about? Woah slow down there buddy you might need to hold your horses buddy! /s

What's the word the youth uses? oh yeah,

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 27 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel "Technological Connections")

Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it! 

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago

Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

It’s a good video though.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 hours ago

What’s masculine about it? My wife does this to me all the time.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 43 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 43 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 5 points 5 hours ago

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!

And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 9 points 7 hours ago

Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 7 points 7 hours ago

Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.

[–] Hond@piefed.social 20 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

your gender doesnt bother me one bit.

we gonna watch that 3 hour youtube essay about every goomba glitch in SM64 no matter what.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You got my hopes up, but it's only 2:24 =/

[–] Carrot@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pannenkoek has so many sm64 videos covering the most niche topics, you've got plenty of content there if you are hearing of him for the first time

[–] Klear@quokk.au 1 points 3 hours ago

Ah, no. I watched a bunch of his videos, including the whole invisible walls one =D

[–] Voxel@programming.dev 7 points 7 hours ago

That video was fire

Every Goomba Glitch in Super Mario 64 by pannenkoek2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcI1kUvVMYM

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I cannot believe I watched another 2 hour video about mario 64 tricks. I think he spent more time making this video than they spent coding it.

It’s really impressive how he does those in-game graphics to illustrate radii and stuff, though.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 6 hours ago

Fascinating.

What does gender have to do with it?

Women: Men don't know how to share their feelings.

Men: share feelings indirectly through content because it allows them to place some distance between themselves and their fear of criticism for having insecurities

Women: Gawd, I don't care!

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Disregarding the genders, in proper communication it’s the senders responsibility to encode their message in a way that can be decoded by the listener.

Sharing your emotions are not so different, it’s still the senders responsibility to share more directly if their partner is not picking up on it.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 15 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

The woman in this scenario is still sitting and watching the video though?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure if the makers of this meme considered this but the woman in there is an escort/partner robot, she is designed to please him (who is also a, more advance, android himself)

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It makes the meme even more sad that the implication may be that women have to be paid and/or designed to be interested in their partners.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 5 points 6 hours ago

That's not true though.

Content of the post aside, this is one of the worst types of guys on the internet. Celebrity avatar posting celebrity pictures. Get a personality, man

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 hours ago

He has a personality. He is literally Ryan Gosling.
