i know I'll get downvoted to oblivion for saying this but I don't care; I think this is disgusting. i don't like shaming people for who they are or what they do, or bullying of any kind, BUT i also think it's absolutely apprehensible behavior to engage in a romantic relationship with someone who uses discord.

No, no, no! Come on! Cooper was right... This guy wants to have sex with me!

"Listen, Mieke... I don't want to arrange any meetings with you, you sick, German freak. So please keep your hands off my genitals, and never write to me again, and don't come to America. Goodbye."

Amazing movie

Mi scusi

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Real talk here, Eurotrip was a leagues better internet relationship story than Ready Player One could ever hope to be.

Is the problem that she uses Gnome, or that she uses dark mode?

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 59 points 1 year ago

Doesn't that look more like Windows 11?

[-] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 did rip off gnome 🤔

a cis person in the year of our lord 2025? disgusting.

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Doesn't look like gnome in any way. That task bar looks like windows 11. Gnome doesn't have a task bar. The "bar" of icons on the left are discord servers.

Maybe she's just cheating and accidently sent you a private pic from the person she's cheating with, don't give up hope /s

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

I don't get it

Isn't it pretty normal not to shave your legs?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 year ago

I think the implication is that the discord girlfriend was an overweight man pretending to be a woman in order to catfish

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

He has very dainty feet then. Twinkle toes even. But it's probably a dude yeah.

[-] VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Can't rule out that's a close-up of a capybara. Gf is 3 capybaras stacked in a trenchcoat? Rule 1 of the Internet--pics or she never happened.

Which number is “there are no girls on the internet?”

[-] VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I heard this one as, "everyone is a cat".

Quick search says Internet Rule 29 0r 30, "the men are nen, the women are men, or cats, or undercover cops".

Also, "...almost none of the numbers are standardized".

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, she's fat. The horror. The betrayal. He thought he had a girl who loved him, but little did he know she was fat. And nothing is more horrific than that. Thank God he found out, he might have started caring about her, like an idiot.

[-] Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.org 39 points 1 year ago

I assumed the joke was his "girlfriend" was a man who's been lying to him, at least that was my initial thought from the exceptionally hairy legs.

[-] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

Seems like the obvious joke to me too...

It's okay to be disappointed if you exchange pics with an online flirt and it turns out they're fat.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It is. It's not okay to post them on the internet so people can mock them because you them unattractive. If she was missing a leg, or had scars from self harm, or burn marks, he probably wouldn't have posted her on the internet so people could join in on his disappointment.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 10 points 1 year ago

It's a he

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Why is everyone assuming this is about weight? What's the reverse image search part mean? I feel like there's something else to this.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

When he attempted to reverse search the image, he didn't find any matches which lead him to believe this is a real photo from the person he's chatting with and not a joke or something like that. There are two assumptions (based on this thread anyway, order has no bearings on which one is more "true" or not).

  1. (My assumption) He is disappointed because the girl is fat/hairy and therefore unattractive and unworthy of his affection.

  2. He is disappointed because the hairy leg makes him think his "girlfriend" is his "boyfriend," otherwise known as a catfish, and he is feeling tricked/embarrassed/hurt/etc.

My knee jerk assumption was weight. When I encounter posts with fat people, I'm used to people responding in revulsion so I took that train of thought.

[-] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think (2) is the far more likely scenario.
