I always take off my watch when I'm fucking. Feels weird with the algorithm watching.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah who tf out here fuckin with their watches still on idk some folks have no respect πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

[–] Psythik 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hell, I take mine off to masturbate as well.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How the hell are we suppose to do those 10k steps per day now?

[–] Psythik 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Joking aside; I work in a warehouse. I'm closer to 30K a day.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Yeah I started gaining weight when I got my forklift certs. Same eating habits but 20k steps less per day. Now I work in an office so 10k a day is unattainable unless I actively make time to walk in my day.

I kinda envy you is what I mean.

[–] eek2121 6 points 10 months ago

Not me, I want them to know I am asserting dominance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you take your watch off then it can only be because you're fucking. The algorithm knows.

[–] SexyTimeSasquatch 1 points 10 months ago

Sure. It can know that I am, but that doesn't mean I want it watching.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago (5 children)

What am I missing here? Why "not my family?" Did they mean like "oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!" It just reads really strange.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It's kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.

For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say "not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop."

It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!

I like your ice cream example, but I'm going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tell them that the old men on Lemmy say stop it.

Goddamn it I'm "only" 37 and I don't understand English anymore lmao

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

It was a good run!

At least grok has been around since β€˜61.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Don't worry. I'm 25 and neither do I.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.

[–] Theharpyeagle 6 points 10 months ago

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

It's a variant of the sarcastic "that couldn't be me"

e.g.: "Goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before the final exam? That couldn't be me /s." -> "Not me goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

They put their watches in "wrestling mode" then their parents get notified of when they stopped "wrestling"

Not is the correct word.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tell me you're old and out of touch without telling me you're old and out of touch.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh boy just you wait. It'll come and go faster than you realize.

[–] kamenlady 2 points 10 months ago

I know, I'm turning 53 this year and omg it's going too fast.

[–] Ghostalmedia -4 points 10 months ago

It’s a typo.

Should be β€œnow”

[–] Dasnap 31 points 10 months ago

Tandum bike.

[–] obinice 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If it's not their family getting the notifications then who is?

How are they going to someone else, And how do we have a picture of it?

This is so confusing

[–] wieson 20 points 10 months ago

It's slang grammar. The family are getting the notifications.

The "not" just shows that it is embarrassing for oop (see also the crying emoji).

Imagine oop covering their face with their hands and saying "oh no! Not this! Not my family getting these notifications!"

[–] anarchyrabbit -1 points 10 months ago

I think it's a typo it is meant to start with "Now" instead of "Not"

You burn about 21 calories during sex.

Why does Richard always finish working out 10 minutes earlier than his girlfriend?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Are they wearing their apple trackers while "working out"?
