Gifts for my best friend who broke both of his arms? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

128 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

Jerk your buddy off for him since he can't do that right now

Nothing says you care like a no-homo handie.

A bro-job, for good measure

OP never said they were a man. Maybe it's a no-hetero handie.

Let's maybe just leave that to his wife. Or his mother.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

OP is obviously a man or else they would be asking how to support the pregnant wife.

Reddit is leaking, lol

Shhh. It's not like our first thought was "flashlight"

Than one day he had an accident, they had to amputate his arms -- and he was sad that day. Yes he was sad that day. He can't surf, he can't skate and he sure can't masturbate no more.
