I told a coworker once that m&ms were my kryptonite and she went and gave me a huge bag of them. I don't think the average person understands what kryptonite is.

Missed opportunity by not dropping dead at the sight of them

"Oh no, aaagh, now I'm vulnerable to small arms fire!"

In hindsight it’s good superman never needed surgery as a kid. 

[-] Droechai@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago

When he did need a fake tooth extraction he used his heat vision to puncture the sedation gas tube to drug the dentist

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

That seems incredibly unsafe, is Supes qualified to administer the gas?

[-] Droechai@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Worst part is that he only wanted it to fake medical procedures as reinforcement for his Clark Kent persona. This was when he was in school (iirc, i read the comic from my fathers collection as a child) so couldnt possibly have gotten any qualifications for sedation yet

Edit: I think it was golden age supes, iirc he also faked bad eyesight and a broken arm in the same comic. Anyone else knows which story Im recalling? Which one was it? He was planning to send a robot for any later dentistry appointments which lacked the tooth

Clearly written by someone who never read the Evil Overlord List.

Saying something is your weakness is common to say it's something you enjoy so much you can't help yourself.

[-] lath@piefed.social 26 points 6 days ago

Forbidden pleasure that you're too weak to hold back from.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

She was hitting on you, kryptonite makes you weak in the knees and vulnerable for her to attack.

[-] hoppolito@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

oh like, literally hitting?

Wouldn't it be you who's using the word wrong? Or do M&Ms literally make you weak/kill you?

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

I mean, they do. They’re not exactly there for the nutrition.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

They're not good for you, and I can eat a family size bag without stopping. So yeah, they make my resolve weak and lead to premature death.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

And you eat the bag without stopping because you really like them.. So clearly she understood exactly what you meant.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Maybe they did understand and just wanted you to die.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 11 points 6 days ago

You now are locked in a wicked battle of the wits with your own personal nemesis.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Damnit. I always wanted a nemesis and this Lemmite just casually picks one up with a throwaway comment.

[-] FluorineBalloon@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

That... That sounds exactly like something my arch nemesis would say! Someday you shall face the wrath of... The Procrastinator!! Mwoooohahahaha!

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

I see. A nemesis who waits to strike from the shadowy future.

I won't stand for it! I'll stop you before you even start, Procrastinator!

[-] gustofwind@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The average person is actually illiterate like in a legitimately does not understand language beyond a 5th grade level kinda way

[-] unrealMinotaur@sh.itjust.works 59 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

As always, there is an XKCD for this (#3123, Cannon)

Title Text: Achilles was a mighty warrior, but his Achilles’ heel was his heel.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The original original meaning of canon was "measuring rod" or "straight stick," tho.

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Is this why they call big boom sticks cannons?

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

It’s actually fanon if fans are developing the lore rather than the original creators.

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 43 points 6 days ago

It was posted to Peter Explains The Joke and the poster was banned for it.

(The blacked out area is an ad)

If you're on Android, check out RedReader

No mo ad

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

But what is Achille's Achille's heel?

[-] deHaga@feddit.uk 10 points 6 days ago
[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 5 points 6 days ago

Same as Odysseus

Superman has never died from Kryptonite but he has died from getting punched in the face by a big dude with boney hands.

[-] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Not quite true. In an old Legion comic, Lobo grips a shard of Kryptonite he steals from Lex Luther and punches straight through Superman's chest and heart, killing Supes. You don't mess with the Main Man!

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Lana, these crabs this time were not my fault, this whole place is

You were going to say lousy with them

I was, until I realized that’s

Where the expression comes from

[-] OmegaPerseidTwitch@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago

I know the person was either actually dumb, or trolling, but reddit really bams people for nothing. That's why I'm here not there.

[-] hayvan@piefed.world 19 points 6 days ago

This one seems to be bammed for a valid reason though.

Because Reddit has no sense of humor, and should the case be this person actually doesn't know reddit chooses to be dicks instead of helpful? Nah. I reported Reddit for the pedophilia pictures found on there daily and left anyway. The mods pretend to be gods, the site is run by a CEO who is a pedo, and it is just a trash site. Even honest questions get you banned. Asking why you got banned gets you site wide banned. I can keep going but the bottom line is this was not a valid ban reason.

[-] guy@piefed.social 23 points 6 days ago

I think the banning was hilarious and a sign of humour

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

And also not banned by reddit but a mod of the specific subreddit.

Also is it a legit ban or just a comment? I haven't seen this version of the reddit UI before

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Turns out it's actually just sodomy. Sodomy is Superman's kryptonite.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her Fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?

The second she gets a suntan the kid'll kick right through her stomach. The only person with a uterus strong enough to carry his child is wonder woman. That or he wears a kryptonite condom, which could kill him..

[-] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Ugh. I'm not even supposed to be here today.

[-] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago

The only person with a uterus strong enough to carry his child is wonder woman.

… well, there’s his cousin for one…

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

That would solve the cat problem

[-] wrinkledoo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Pink kryptonite

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago
[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Bad writers.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Lex: It's called...Kryptonite.
