I had overlooked this handsome cat, thanks

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

My void when he's dead set on playing with the flower bouquets

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Angry blackhole.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's my cat! Give him back!

Ceci est mon chat maintenant

That smirk is throwing me off. Why smirk over the pets?

This is layered. First thought is all the pets are fixed. Second is she finished transitioning.

[-] Beldarofremulak@discuss.online 47 points 1 week ago

They got robbed and since he was on a business trip his testicle jar wasn't stolen from the cupboard.

I see you too are a fan of linear puzzles.

[-] Anahkiasen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 week ago

I thought it was a trans joke at first yeah, like a "for now..." smirk :D

[-] inlandempire@jlai.lu 9 points 1 week ago

Oh wow I thought it was about bearded guy planning a vasectomy lol

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

You know they dont remove the testicle during a vasectomy... right?

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

Yeah they're thinking of an orchiectomy

As someone who has had a vasectomy, can confirm. What they do is to disable the sperm making, while leaving pre storage intact, by only cutting the spermtube.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 1 week ago

Story time, and yes, it's topical. Twice.

One summer a whole bunch of years ago, I was on my way to my vasectomy appointment, wife is driving because they won't just "let" you drive yourself home. (And no, you don't want to drive yourself home.) The last stoplight before the medical center is out, completely dark, stop signs folded open. Huh.

We park and go in, and it's dark inside, just emergency lights on. Ohhh ... power is out. Man, now I have to reschedule this and do the whole "get my gumption up" thing again. Go up to the office to figure it out.

Get to the office, they have a desk lamp on the counter, apparently plugged into the emergency circuit. It's the only light. Explain why I'm there, and that I'll probably need to reschedule. Doctor calls from the side, "We've got enough light back here, we can do it today." Well okay, lfg.

Get on the table, there's a big ol' stand fan behind my head, the big fat round kind on a tall pole stand, like you'd see in a Catholic grade school in the 1980s, and it was 20 years old then. HVAC must be down, doc needs to stay comfortable. Again, must be plugged into the emergency circuit. Nothing else is powered.

Now, this fan is doing wonders for the doctor, and nilch for me, so I ask for a wetted towel that I can use to keep myself cool. I'm kind of swiping my head and face as the doctor is working. When the towel gets too warm, which happens almost instantly, I unfold it and hold it way up into the breeze of the fan to cool it down again, and then back to wiping my brow. Lather, rinse, repeat, all while the doctor is snipping my junk. It was like getting a vasectomy in a M/*A/*S/*H unit.

The second part of this story is how many years after that, I came down with testicular cancer, and one of 'em had to be evicted.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Who did you piss off? 😳

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

Testicle Jesus, apparently.

The deferens between those operations is vas

[-] Zaraki42@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

You cheeky bugger...

[-] inlandempire@jlai.lu 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, but a joke in a comic strip doesn't have to be exactly accurate, does it?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No, but it does help with the flow of the joke. If you have to make that kind of leap for the joke to land, it's a bit arcane and won't reach quite as many people.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Because he’s… the last man standing.

I have to admit that this conjures up more horror vibes than anything

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I'm so glad you shared an image ripped from Facebook using a screenshot so that we can all experience the extra overlay that darkens the bottom half.

Just in case, here's the copy posted by the artist themselves:

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

If the artist name was cropped that'd be one thing but clearly there's no ill intent

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

No, just laziness and ignorance.

This is too well-drawn to make no sense

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

5 neutered pets, one post bottom surgery trans woman.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What doesnt make sense to you? Everyone in the picture is a biological male and everyone except the bearded person had their testicles removed. The red hair might also be on estrogen considering the hint of tiddies.

[-] edg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

the "still" made me think that the red haired one also had them at some point

[-] theLetterJ@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

"biological male" more like biological hand on biological forehead, this phrase is mostly used by queerhaters and TERFs, FYI

Ah my bad. I meant "originally had balls, but got them snipped off".

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago

I don't think it's your bad? Isn't the whole point of trans acceptance acknowledging that someone can be born male but realize they are actually a woman, making a distinction between sex and gender?

Seems like you're being attacked unjustly because you lack their perception of purity.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I never read it as an attack, just as a warning to avoid that terminology (which is fair since it is kind of weird and confusing/improperly defined to my knowledge). When I read 'biological male' it did scare me a little but the rest seemed fine so I see no reason to be upset personally.

[-] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago

The dog on the guy's lap is clearly unhappy about it.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Me, but instead of saying that to some dude it's my pet rodent

[-] natecox@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

What did they do to little Billy?!?!?!

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago
[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I did get a vasectomy though.
