RAWDOGGING THE INTERNET

Someone once described LimeWire to me as, "having unprotected sex with the internet," and they were completely right.

I mean, she's still using it correctly in that context. 👀

If I say something "tastes like ass" and I'm eating, like, a bagel, I'm probably saying it tastes bad and not like ass cheeks.

Yeah, I think how she is using it is completely acceptable. We all understand what she is saying and what she means... that's a win in my book.

ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I'll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you're reheating it for some reason.

3

Air fryer usually get the cheese a bit more melty and pulls out moisture in the crust that causes staleness. Nothing is better than an air fryer reheat in my experience

3

I put my leftover pizza in a Ziploc bag, it doesn't dry out even after a week (and probably longer, but at that point something else is eating it...)

Have you tried an oven?

Microwaves just suck for heating up leftover pizza.

Cataphractreply
lemmy.ml

yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @[email protected] though. But I mean I'm not expecting miracles, anything that's been reheated after days isn't gonna be like when it's fresh.

2

I tend to grill mine in a foil pouch which isn't so bad either. I think you could probably grill it directly on the grate too, but there's more risk of it burning.

2

I have a panini press that can be propped open, and it's the best thing for reheating a slice of pizza. I usually microwave it a bit first just to heat it thru, but sticking on the panini press makes the crust, ah, crusty again.

I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. "Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!"

I had a friend who thought "Netflix & chill" just meant watch movies and relax, so she had it on her dating app profile and couldn't understand why she only got hookups.

The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?

It's a double entendre. It means both, but much more the "hook up" subtext.

From what I can find online, it originally meant what I thought it did, but quickly morphed into mainly being a hookup afterward.

It's like the older "come inside for coffee" thing. It could be just that but much more common to use it as pretense for initiating some coitus.

My daughter, still in elementary school a few years ago, asked if we can Netflix and Chill after a long day.

I had trouble explaining to her what it meant.

I think it can mean a both - that's the great thing about a noncommittal word like chill. I think the key part is that whatever happens is casual.

But yeah would probably get a lot of hookup attention on a dating website

2

I don't know, I don't think of sex as chilling. Just like I don't see sport as chilling. Chilling should be more calm and less purpose-driven.

  • Comment 1: Why do some comic artists only post to social media?
  • Comment 2: It costs money to make a website.
  • Comment 3: It only costs $10 to make a website.
  • Me: The comic artist is not making any money right now from us on Lemmy.
  • You: Social media platforms are profitable.
  • Me: Yes, they are. Additionally, I believe that comment 3 is unfair because that person is not paying towards the $10 for the comic artist to make their own website.

No, it really, seriously, doesn’t. People that rely on social media are just lazy and ignorant.

4

And it gives you some degree of control over reposts and people stealing content. If your not on the platform you cant really contest claims against a video or post.

3

Plenty of ways to host for free, even with a custom domain. (Though the domain is $15 per year) Like GitHub. Or you can even just use Tumblr with a custom domain.

Maybe they don’t want their comics browsed.

Used to be, you got one comic with the sunday paper. There was no bingeing your favorite comics you just waited until they came out.

My guess is they don’t have enough material for a whole collection yet, and they’re using social media as feedback mechanism

Lemmy is a rounding error with regards to the size of large social media.
Also, most of us are here not because we're small-social media enthusiasts but because of Reddit's business decisions.

I mean, this is true if "used to be" means "prior to WWII" (or maybe even earlier). Publishers have been putting out collections of comic strips in book form for a very long time - I grew up in the '70s reading Pogo compendiums published in the 1960s.

Not that you're wrong, of course, but you can't blame people for wanting to be where the other people are.

As a fanart hoarder, the number of great artists I know of who seem to exclusively post their work on Twitter, a completely unsearchable platform that lossy compresses anything you upload to it and makes it a pain in the dick to get highest quality downloads, as opposed to a browsable upload platform like deviantArt, Pixiv, or Tumblr, infuriates me.

I think I know why a lot of them do it, too. To them, their work is intentionally ephemeral. They want to draw a thing, release it to the world, be admired for a day, and let it fade away into the aether. They don't want a browseable archive of their past work. Art they draw is disposable. Twitter is the best platform for this, as everything on Twitter is naturally consumed this way. That, and its audience is way larger than any of the other platforms I mentioned, so they get more eyes on their work.

Yeah, an archive exists on Twitter, but unless you want to scroll scroll scroll through every single tweet they've ever made in reverse chronological order, you're never going to find what you're looking for without some kind of external indexing tool. All of this before Elon bought it and further enshittified it within an inch of its life. You can't even browse posts without being logged in anymore.

I still like the phrase "raw dogging reality" as I have zero desire to do so.

lemm.ee

Ok, but like the use of the word is correct as it evolved from the original meaning.

That dude is just explaining (albeit recent) word etymology to her.

It's like porn - "art porn" is not the same as "porn art" (eg food-/history-/Earth-/map-/artefact-/engineering-/city-/justice-/penmanship-/sky-/human-porn etc).

My sweet child Came home from elementary school saying he played Cookie in the middle. Apparently to the teacher, it's Monkey in the Middle but the teacher didn't like kids being called monkeys, so the kids called each other cookies.

Only for me to Google it and it lead to the definition I was familiar with: Ookie Cookie. 😱

On the Internet though I curse all the time, though I don't often curse at someone specifically (excluding CEOS), more at a general company/group of people. Though more commonly I use it as a filler word like "so fucking funny"

This is how you end up with a generation of kids who grow up using "rawdog" to mean something other than "unprotected sex". Just talk to your kids about sex.

Well Billy, it's when a penis penetrates persons vagina or anus without using a condom.

Have fun now explaining condoms or why they would put a penis inside someone, to a person who is still learning how to wipe their own ass properly.

Part of the reason why parents dodge these questions is because they know that more questions will follow, and while kids absolutely should be learning about sex (as in, having healthy sexual relationships) from their parents, that's a conversation that's better started a little closer to puberty.

Past the "Whyyyy?" stage, and before the "buuuuh leave me alone" stage

Omg the downvotes, people are not ready to have open educational conversations with their kids or am I missing something?

lemmy.world

Just in case you really needed an answer.

In a sexual context, having sex without protection. In conversational context, it pretty much means with no support or accessories. So her "raw dogging" a bus ride means no music/entertainment, she's just going to have to look out the window or something.

10

Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That's an important distinction.

10
sh.itjust.works

Specifically, "raw" is rather obvious - meaning unprepared, as in to not use a condom

But the dog part comes from a more sinister usage where to "dog someone out" was to "pimp someone out" - ie coerce someone into sex work.

Reminds me of the time I had to explain to a friend that twat was not a synonym for twit.

31
lemmy.world

I once used the word twat around my then-girlfriend and she "corrected" me, insisting it was pronounced "twah". Turns out she thought people saying it were trying to use the French word toit and mispronouncing it. No idea why she thought anybody would want to call somebody else a French roof.

12

You're friend wasn't the first to make such a mistake. There's a poem from 1841 by Robert Browning, called Pippa Passes, in which he misunderstands the meaning of the word "twat." Apparently he thought it was the name for part of a nun's outfit.

But at night, brother howlet, over the woods,
Toll the world to thy chantry;
Sing to the bats' sleek sisterhoods
Full complines with gallantry:
Then, owls and bats,
Cowls and twats,
Monks and nuns, in a cloister's moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!

That reminds me of the time I went to a roller disco as a child, having just seen Mr Bean at the pictures that afternoon (this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_(film)). There's a bit at the end where Mr Bean's in a convertible waving at everyone he sees, when this hard knock rides up on a motorbike and responds with the middle finger, so Mr Bean naïvely copies the gesture and ends up sitting high up on the back of the seat giving the finger to everyone and no one. Ironically enough, I was too young to know what the finger was, so I just naïvely copied the gesture myself and started skating in circles around this sports hall giving the finger to everyone and no one. I don't remember anyone doing anything about it either!

Man, people my age (39yo millennial) have been using "raw dogging" to mean literally doing anything without some sort of protection or barrier between you and something nasty for a while; not strictly sex without a condom.

"Ew .. You cleaned your toilet without gloves? You just raw dogged that shit?! Bro, I'm going home. Fuck this BBQ."

Tbf the kind of person who might make this mistake is exactly the kind of person who would be embarrassed discovering the true meaning. The kind who doesn’t swear but is exposed to people who do and pick up the vernacular without the origins.

People will often only hear slang in this context and have no idea it relates back to sex at all. This comic is very true to life. I was definitely the kid that used terms without knowing their true meaning.

Clearly the sudden popularity of this phrase comes from this exact confusion.

lemmy.world

Alternatively the phrase suggests a wiener is cooked for protected sex so it wasn’t the best used metaphor in the first place.

4

Raw can also refer to the lack of a protective layer. One can rub their skin raw, for example, meaning the skin was rubbed so hard that the top layer was removed. The "cooking" in this case would be the skin healing back. And putting a condom over it for safety.
