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

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 78 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

That's just how we depressed people roll lol

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.

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 2 years ago

I know what I said.

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"

One of many reasons I'm not having kids.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 84 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] gsf@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] brianorca@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

They spensive :(

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 81 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

I do feel sad about skipping the siesta. Relatable.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

To be fair they moved to Florida.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 years ago

Or the alien landscapes of the Southwest

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

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

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

What's a soil base?

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Wait till you hear about gun deaths

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

SLC looks wildly unnatural

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

[-] Evia@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years 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.
