I always take off my watch when I'm fucking. Feels weird with the algorithm watching.

[–] eek2121@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not me, I want them to know I am asserting dominance.

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you take your watch off then it can only be because you're fucking. The algorithm knows.

[–] SexyTimeSasquatch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure. It can know that I am, but that doesn't mean I want it watching.

[–] casmael@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah who tf out here fuckin with their watches still on idk some folks have no respect 🤷🏻‍♂️

What am I missing here? Why "not my family?" Did they mean like "oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!" It just reads really strange.

[–] ablair24@lemmy.wtf 88 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It's kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.

For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say "not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop."

It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!

I like your ice cream example, but I'm going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tell them that the old men on Lemmy say stop it.

Goddamn it I'm "only" 37 and I don't understand English anymore lmao

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

It was a good run!

At least grok has been around since ‘61.

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Don't worry. I'm 25 and neither do I.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.

[–] kksgandhi@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

It's a variant of the sarcastic "that couldn't be me"

e.g.: "Goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before the final exam? That couldn't be me /s." -> "Not me goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before"

[–] huginn@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago

They put their watches in "wrestling mode" then their parents get notified of when they stopped "wrestling"

Not is the correct word.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s a typo.

Should be “now”

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tell me you're old and out of touch without telling me you're old and out of touch.

If it's not their family getting the notifications then who is?

How are they going to someone else, And how do we have a picture of it?

This is so confusing

[–] wieson@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It's slang grammar. The family are getting the notifications.

The "not" just shows that it is embarrassing for oop (see also the crying emoji).

Imagine oop covering their face with their hands and saying "oh no! Not this! Not my family getting these notifications!"

[–] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's a typo it is meant to start with "Now" instead of "Not"

You burn about 21 calories during sex.

Not the way I do it!

(I burn 1 calorie)

Why does Richard always finish working out 10 minutes earlier than his girlfriend?

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Are they wearing their apple trackers while "working out"?
