Tweet saying: My bf was slow cooking ribs and I guess they were done in the middle of the night. So this man wakes me up at 3 am and goes "here babe, i brought you a rib." So we sat in bed and ate ribs. I've found my soulmate.

That just shows poor planning from his side.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 85 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's a hobby thing, is this really that big a a deal ?

Yes, I get up in the middle of the night to swap 3D printing filament spools. Don't judge me like that.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

That's fine, but you wake me up to tell me about it at 3am, we are not soul mates. You are dead man walking, later, after I've had some coffee.

[–] Dolphinfreetuna@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, more unwanted soulmates for me! I'll take them all

You typically don't eat your 3d prints though. I hope...

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

No, but like slow-cooked ribs, it's a hobby that requires either good planning or a flexible sleep schedule

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

For some people 3am is just before bed and time for final dinner. It is for me when I don’t have to work a schedule.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

3am? That's when I do my best work.

Sounds like they both enjoyed the ribs right then, so I would say that that's perfect planning. Probably some left for breakfast as well

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Might be they didn't have time to start earlier (work, other life stuff). If you're prepared to wake up in the night then I don't think there's anything wrong with the planning.

Sleep is like the most important thing in life for my partner, this would be absolutely verboten

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it's a rib, not a vertebrae!

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

What does Verstappen have to do with this? How did we even get to talking about F1 drivers?

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Knowing that about your partner brings you closer to soulmate status. In the OP, knowing that she would be happy he brought her ribs and then executing it is what made it cute.

It has always been a cute story, but the sheets face ruin.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 weeks ago

I’m a firm believer of snacking in bed, usually while watching tv. But there are certain types of food that are allowed, for exactly this reason. This is not one of those foods.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe it was on a plate and he also brought a big napkin, and followed up with a hot wet washcloth. The one that already has a stain.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have a big foldable tray with legs, just for the occasion like that. Very helpful.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

My wife and I literally eat in bed 99% of the time using little tray things like that. A dangerous game to be sure, but very comfy :D

I need to build something like that, just for this purpose. Out of wood of course. Need to find some plans somewhere...

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 30 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Glad they're happy but I would be pissed off beyond measure. You woke me up at 3am for this? No I don't want ribs at this time. I have to be up for work soon. Why are they even ready at this time anyway? Did it not occur to you that slow cooking might take a while? And to top it all off you want to eat them in bed and stain my sheets gtfo

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 62 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So he's not YOUR soulmate. Got it.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I'm glad they're happy. What a wonderful world we live in that these two ne'er-do-wells can find each other.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm still looking to find someone who finds my particular brand of weirdness attractive.

But if a woman woke me up in the middle of my sleep to give me ribs, my brain wouldn't be on enough to register what was happening.

I'd probably get confused, put it on my pillow, put my face on the rib, and go back to sleep licking the rib and pillow.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't deserve the ribs

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 16 points 2 weeks ago

If you can't handle my ribs at 3am, you don't deserve my ribs at 6:30pm

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

NO RIB FOR YOU

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Imagine the lives of people who can just randomly eat ribs at 3 AM. No work in the morning, they aren't perpetually tired so they're OK with random sleep interruptions, they don't care about sheets that much, but they can slow cook ribs, so all of this doesn't mean they're broke.
I'm envious as shit, if anything

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

No reason to assume this happened on a work night.

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

Glad they're happy but I would be pissed off beyond measure.

Isn't that the whole point of relationships? For us to understand what we like, what we want, and what we don't, and find partners who fit those things (while simultaneously fitting their preferences)? And then let people with different preferences and different characteristics find their own matches?

I certainly wouldn't be this person's soul mate because like you, I'd be annoyed at the lack of planning and not at all charmed by this particular style of quirkiness. But let other people enjoy the things they enjoy.

Thank you I'll add it

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

First words Adam said to Eve. Same feelings. Can't wait till a snake offers her an apple.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cooking delicious food for people is one of my favorite ways to demonstrate affection.

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

hugs you

There. We're friends now.

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Lemme get one. One rib.
