TIL I should eat beans before a date.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is lemmy, we'll encourage you to eat beans for all scenarios

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 days ago

Beans are very nutritious high in both protien and fiber. Truly a great food

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Oh shit that took me far too long.

But when did this horrible trend start with young men putting like half a bottle of cologne on them?

(it's a major issue for me due to sensory overload)

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 days ago

It's not just young men. There are men and women of all ages who wear too much perfume or cologne. I seem to be allergic to some of them, because I will often have my sinuses suddenly clog up, get a massive headache and swelling in my throat from smelling them.

On multiple occasions at work, it's been so bad that I have to go ask a coworker to take over helping a customer because their perfume is giving me such a severe reaction. Then the perfume continues to linger for hours after they are gone.

I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing since cologne was invented.

FWIW I went to high school in the early-mid 00s, and during those days, it wasn’t cologne - it was Axe body spray. My friends and I would joke about there being ads in the future similar to the, “Did you work at such-and-such and develop mesothelioma? You may be entitled to compensation.” Except instead of asbestos filling your lungs and giving you a disease, it’s Axe. That crap was in the air perpetually.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago

Oh god, the smell of the middle school side of the building... it was putrid. Axe mixed with with misted body odor from the boys who had gym in the morning.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

It was always Lynx/Axe Africa as well

I remember in highschool that some of the other boys seemed to think AXE body spray was an adequate substitute for showering regularly.

It's not. It just makes you smell like AXE and BO.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

When they stopped washing their assholes.

When you wait until he's asleep and then try on his colon.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Like a glove.

Jokes on you, these were actually written by dogs enjoying the sweet scent of manass.

It took reading the comments for me to realise this was about cologne.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I thought this was a meme about guys not washing their asses because it makes them gay.

Well. That's all very unfortunate.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

that's how you know she's a keeper

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Find a colon scent that works for you. You'll be surprised how women respond to it and it'll make you feel more confident! One of my favorites smells like wood and leather, for example.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Love to know what your diet is.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They're actually a beaver.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

No, beavers smell like fish.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Then it would smell like vanilla

Colon should be discovered, never announced

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Silent but violent.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

Köln*

Colon is closer in spelling than Cologne

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

If "Bologna" is "baloney", should "Cologne" be "caloney" or "calonay"? Or colony, it's a cognate of the roman place name "Colonia Agrippina".

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If "Bologna" is "baloney"

It's not

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Buh-log-nuh

I defend with "Colonia Agrippina" only if the enemy knows both Capo Ferro and Thibault. Of course they rarely realize I'm not left handed.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium or CCAA was the name. Today it's Köln tho so good luck with that :p

Women : Ew, he looked at pictures of feet? That gives me the ick!
Also women : Oh, that guy is coming by...

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

This might come as a shock, but women have a wide variety of opinion on different things, much like men do.

I'm so spelling pilled I thought that was the joke

At least put an "e" on the end, goddamn

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Why thank you, I can bottle some up for you later..

You wanna go get some Taco Bell?

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

Would any of you like to try my colon?

Or a bunch of us get together and try each others colons, like a gang?
Wow, imagine how eye opening that would be. The lovely fumes of all those used colons just hanging in the air...

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Shout out to Colon, Michigan, magic capital of the world.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 12 points 4 days ago

I hope it's a sister city of Darmstadt, Germany.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

How much cologne do these guys spray on? It’s the least concentrated scent, it’s 90% alcohol. Shouldn’t last longer than an hour or two.

Or do these people think cologne is what parfum for men is called?

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I mean they obviously don't know what colon is, how do you expect them to know the difference between cologne (a word they don't know) and parfum?

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

These terms are interchangeable from a product sales perspective.
