    I took a picture of a sparrow once. They’re called Spatz in German. In my local dialect, they’re called “Spotz” ʃpɔts in english it’s pronounced like “shpowts” - which is one of the words used for penis as well. Picture in German is Bild and in the local dialect it’s “büdl” ˈbʏdl in English pronounced like “boodle” (you have no pronunciation for ü).

    So in my local dialect, a sparrow-pic is pronounced the same as a dick-pick. Spotzbüdl - ʃpɔtsˈbʏdl - spowthsboodle

      We kind of do have a pronunciation of ü The cornish town Bude, would be pronounced by locals as “Büd” It’s how I explained to my kids how to handle umlaut words, if it was the English word “lane“ imagine it’s spelled ‘laen’ and then get rid of the e to make ‘län’. It’s rare but some English words still use æ as a sound not a pair of letters. Spelæological for caving for instance. Often simplified to speleological.

        I feel like it’s easier to tell English speakers to make an “eee” sound with their lips and then pronounce the vowel in question (ä, ö, ü) with the rest of their mouth (at least that’s how we do it when we sing in German, I know choral German doesn’t always line up with proper German pronunciation).

    This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

    Doesn’t happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.

        For my spotted dick recipe, I like to let the raisins rehydrate in a bowl of lemon juice. Really gives the flavor a little extra pop of brightness.

          Add a pinch of oregano and basil as well (maybe even some freshly ground pepper if you’re looking for a zing) and they’re good to eat as-is! Very seriously, tried this once while high, and now it’s the only way I boil any kind of pasta. Nothing can beat that “core” zest you get when the base is well seasoned! And they complement seasoning cheeses really well, makes for a neat snack!

              Ooh, I completely forgot about those mixes, thank you! Most deffo should be even tastier! I kinda’ started mainling basil and oregano since starting to bake pizzas (it is a crime against humanity to not add basil and oregano to a pizza, that is all) and I forgot other seasonings existed:))

              And, yep! Plus they work with absolutely anything that way, and make meal prep a lot faster if you’re in a rush (I would eat a double-portion of what you posted, honest truth!)

        I met girls on tinder who told me how they always get dick picks, and i’m pretty sure most of them is to make them seem more interesting or for attention. I know that sounds like victim blaming, but i asked more than one girl how you send pictures on tinder and they just deleted me or made some things up on how you send pictures.

      I don’t agree. To me, it helps to emphasize the ridiculousness of coming in swinging with a dick pic instead of starting an actual human conversation and acknowledging that the person you’re talking to deserves respect and has more going on than a hole for you to stick something in.

        That goes without saying. But to be clear, we don’t know the dick pick timing. Also I think that regardless of the vulgarity and the obvious stupidity of sending your meat to a person who didn’t ask for it, there is something positive to be found in any expression of desire towards oneself no matter how crude and idiotic.

          Lemmy is the first place I have used this name, so I doubt it. One of the longest use ones, like almost 20 years, had Mr. in it, so I just think its dudes wanting other dudes to see their dick, maybe get one back. that or some sort of scammer/conman.

      Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you’re a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don’t notice me therefore you’re a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you’re hot so you’re a slut. Doesn’t have anything to do with what sex the “slut” may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

              I will concede and do some research.

              For whatever reason I was under the impression that a word had to reference a specific group to be a slur. Like, anyone can be a slut. Man, woman, trans, black, white, et cetera. Like, who is “slut” targeting? Sexually active people? I know that it is weaponized against women, usually those who are NOT actively engaging in promiscuous activities, but I haven’t exactly come across many slurs that can be used against multiple groups.

              Perhaps the root of my understanding of what makes a slur itself is the issue. Like I said I’m going to do some research. As a known slut, I apologize to any who came across my comment and were offended.

        I guess it would make sense to counter that slur with a counter-slur.

        I.e., when somebody calls you a slut, respond by calling them a “needy one” or sth. Might hit a spot.

      Sure but that doesnt matter. The point is making insults they thing will hurt or humiliate you, because they feel humiliated. People do that by insulting presumed insecurities.

      Women get called fat ugly sluts, men get called small dicked virgin losers. We’re just calling each other failures at our gender roles.

          As long as he was accepting the no’s gracefully, and wasn’t an asshole to any of them… Then yeah, that’s a pretty honest way to play the numbers game and find someone who is also dtf.

          I mean did he show everyone his dick without asking if they wanted to see it though? That’s what I meant by likely getting arrested if doing it irl, comparing it to sending dick pics.

      We know why they do it. That doesn’t make it any less inappropriate. These guys don’t care who they make uncomfortable in their quest for validation. It’s like a kid that throws a fit to gain attention, uncaring about who they might hurt in the process. Except unlike a developing child, these men should be mature enough to know better.

      Does it ever work at all? even 1 in a million times seems too many to me.

      I’ve only known of that working in Grindr or sites like that where thirsty population is high, and where most people are seeking for that. But in normal social media I wouldn’t expect to ever work, at all.

      It is. But the reality of those sites is that for a guy the vast majority of your messages will never be read. You are shouting at the void and hoping for the best. This does not incentivize taking the time and psychological investment to write thoughtful messages, because you will send comparatively few and the lack of response is harder to deal with when you’re more invested. It incentivizes sending the quickest messages that you care about the least to as many as possible. The guy didn’t send her a dick pic, he sent every woman in a 50 mile radius the same dick pic hoping that with enough sheer volume he’ll get a response.

      It’s basically spam that wants to fuck you, because non-spam options don’t get you anywhere.

      I’ve gotten some on Discord. Men don’t send unsolicited dick pics to show off, they show them to harass. I only get them from people I’m not paying attention to. Like if someone messages me and I stop messaging back that’s typically when I get them. You can’t fathom doing it because you’re (hopefully lol) not someone who would sexually harass people. They don’t feel shame for doing it. To them, getting any sort of reaction to it is the goal. Telling them “you’re disgusting” would be giving them attention and something they want.

      PSA: When you get unsolicited dick pics, block and report. Don’t respond. Don’t reward their behavior. If you’d like to go on some crusade to tell their mother (I’ve seen some people do that lol) that’s another topic, but never reply to them directly by saying anything.

      It sounds like my experience is a little different from this woman’s though, I typically get them after I stop answering. I haven’t ever gotten one in the first message. But the “uh, hello??” part tracks with what I’ve seen. It’s attention seeking behavior.

      Me neither I did it once after she pretty much threatened to strangle me if I didn’t. 🤣 And yes we still have contact to this day.

      But I will never send one unsolicited, it’s so fucking weird, it’s the same as the flashers in the park, what 30 years ago, dumb fucks with no common sense or decency.

      And it is so useless, I mean the woman that would like it I wouldn’t like, and the woman I would like will hate it. So there is nothing to gain unless you have a really low bar.
