I vastly preferred the lack of context. The context is extremely depressing lol.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 78 points 8 months ago

Always remember to add "lol" to the end of dark and depressing statements to make people less worried about you lol

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 24 points 8 months ago

That's just how we depressed people roll lol

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

It's lol all the way down lol

This is why childhood trauma is so damaging. You have nothing to compare to so whatever you experience as a child becomes the foundation of your mind.

Babies scream because whatever they're experiencing is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 35 points 8 months ago

Well today I got screamed at because my 18 month old handed me a long string of beads that was wadded into a bunch of tangled knots and I untangled them. I don't know what I was supposed to do but apparently that wasn't it.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

I know what I said.

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 32 points 8 months ago

Whenever I see a toddler with a cold or the flu, I feel extra bad for them. They're all congested, sneezing, coughing, possibly pinwheeling in the bathroom... a lot of them have never felt worse than that, and it's like, "I'm so sorry. You've got decades more of this to look forward to, little friend"

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

One of many reasons I'm not having kids.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

They're pretty well right about it when they're just born.

[-] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 84 points 8 months ago

My toddler screamed at ear hurting levels because Mom forgot her hug. Chill is not the word I would use to describe most toddlers.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 40 points 8 months ago

I prefer fire alarms. They are either at full chill, or complete panic. Very little in-between.

[-] gsf@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Whoa if you think about it that's true about fire alarms too

[-] brianorca@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

But fire alarms usually scream when it's worth screaming about.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Fire alarms scream when someone uncovers a pot of boiling water too quickly.

[-] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago

That's what you get for using a photoelectric smoke detector in your kitchen instead of an ionizing smoke detector!

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

They spensive :(

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I joke that my kid has the communication skills of an alarm clock.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 81 points 8 months ago

Kinda compliments how they can also throw a nuclear tantrum for absolutely no reason where you, the parent, may also have zero context for what’s going on.

[-] diffcalculus@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Have you ever missed your lunch nap? If that doesn't make you scream....

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 6 points 8 months ago

I do feel sad about skipping the siesta. Relatable.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Mine screamed at me this evening because we put a hand on a corner of the counter that he had already smacked his head on once this morning.

I don't even know anymore lol

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 months ago

To be fair they moved to Florida.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago

Or the alien landscapes of the Southwest

[-] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Y'all folks living in Endor or some shit, with trees everywhere. That's the real alien landscape. 👽

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago

Actually, an aerial view of Denmark would show that the vast majority is farmland, then coastline, then sub- and urban areas and THEN forests 😄

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

The alien said from a cloud of dust cuz there's no roots or soil base

[-] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

What's a soil base?

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh, geez. I grew up in the US of the '80s and '90s and was talking to a friend about all the abortion clinic bombings we had back then--like not just murdering doctors (although that did happen), bombings--and how, thinking back on it, that was a super fucked up normal to grow up with.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Before that they were firebombing churches. There was a surprising amount of bombing in the sixties and seventies.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Wait till you hear about gun deaths

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 months ago

I wondered the same thing when landing in Salt Lake City for a connecting flight.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

SLC looks wildly unnatural

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

[-] Evia@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Not necessarily. Speach and language develops at different rates in kids and I can totally see a moderately advanced two year old using a complete simple sentence.
