Love this. Literally came to make the same comment and it's the top one

I don't know if "give" is a fair word to use there, lol

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No, in nature the mothers do "give" the milk to their young. Misuse of "give" when referring to dairy cows, however, is common.

bro they mean you gotta crack into the coconut.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 16 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The coconut nut is a giant nut
If you eat to much you get veeery fat (very fat) The coconut nut is a delicious nut,
But most of all it's not a nut!

It's the cocofruit (it's the cocofruit)
From the cocotree (from the cocotree)
From the cocopalm family! (Ayayayayay)

Why is only one username censored?

He ain't gonna dox himself innit?

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the others are enough to find the original thread.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 18 hours ago

The text alone is enough to find the original thread.

I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor's backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 26 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm no nameologist but I think it means they were a sailor who rode nukes around Oregon, like that one cowboy riding a nuke in that cold war documentary I watched.

Edit: here's a screenshot from the documentary

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

That kid was a prodigy. Landed that nuke softer than that jet blue with the sideways landing gear.

[–] kubofhromoslav@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Why not both?

Two words:

Coconut nipples

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?

Edit:

  1. A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young. 
  1. The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans. 
  1. Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

It mentions coconut milk specifically

A warm, white and creamy liquid.

Rolls around on the floor in a little ball.

squeaks when I cut into it with a knife

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

According to Christopher Lee, one stabbed with a knife does not squeak, but sigh.

Hey, I am entirely not trying to be an ass, but in situations like what just happened there, here is what I usually do:

Christoper ~~Walken~~ Lee (EDIT: Derp)

Something like that is what I try to do when I make a silly error, but want to showcase that I made the error, and then also accepted and made the correction.

That way, if somebody in the future, who reads only the edited version of the comment/post/thread sees it, they can understand that perhaps other comment chains based off of the initial error are not non sequiturs.

It also shows that you are humble and admit a mistake, and make a correction, which imo, are good things to showcase... as opposed to doing a 'stealth edit', which leaves no obvious signs of what the original comment was, in the comment itself.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, Walken can tell you about how to smuggle a watch, though.

[–] CuddlesMcBubblefun@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Tree Hampsters!

Semantics are to reasoning what puns are to comedy.
