It's for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.

+1 for the double entendre title 😄

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thanks, I was proud of that.

[–] Viking_Hippie 6 points 1 month ago

As well you should be 😄🤜

Pardon my ignorance - what's 'play with my nuts' a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

He was a peanut farmer.

[–] aeronmelon 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can't play with?

I didn't think so.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What's he gonna do? Beat me up?

[–] _stranger_ 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is how you get Isekai's to the peanut farmer world.

"I Antagonized Jimmy Carter Over the Internet And Now I'm In Another World But I'm a Peanut That Farms and Also There's A Demon King?!?!?!?!?!"

Totally underrated series that really picks up in Season 4.

Sorry Jimmy, it's Mega only for you now

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Probably not, cause they'll make some decent sets and then send then send them to a random Walmart in bumfuck Idaho and nowhere else, unless you want to pay 4x the price on Amazon.

Honestly I think Mattel don't want to be in the brick business sometimes.

I find "LEGOs" very upsetting.

Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

"You can't play with Lego anymore."

[–] pyre 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

fuck that. Lego is a company and I don't need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don't like it they can suck my dick.

I really don't understand why there are so many people passionate about how to "properly" use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

just play with your Legos and get over it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (19 children)

I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.

[–] pyre 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm pretty sure the reason Lego isn't supposed to be used is because they don't want the trademark to be genericized. the all caps thing is stylization, I doubt they give a shit if you type it all caps or not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Brought to you by the folks behind "Get Off That Nintendo and Go Outside" while you were PC gaming. Lol :p

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Lmao Legos adults

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LEGO is too an acronym. it stands for Leg Godt, Danish for "play well"

[–] Bassman1805 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (8 children)

That's...not an acronym. That'd just be LG.

Language is flexible. Deal with it.

You called down the ire of practitioners of the dark arts known as prescriptivism.

At least he still has 37 years to play with a Koosh ball

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 4 weeks ago

Jeez. Even my dog who loved her Koosh ball was only 98 in dog years when she died. They're apparently making them for tortoises.

[–] Treczoks 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No one is getting hard at 99.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Not since Roz passed last year anyway

[–] FlyingSquid 7 points 4 weeks ago

I don't know whether that's funny or sad.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You're gonna throw him in jail? He doesn't even know if he'll live for another hour.

[–] Crackhappy 9 points 1 month ago

This meme made me sad.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, his are probably hanging so low by now that they make legitimately enjoyable fidget toy.

Conspiracy theory time: maybe they hate old people…

[–] Ensign_Crab 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I'm certain that Jimmy Carter has every reason to be satisfied with the amount he's built.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 weeks ago

Fuck those Vikings, Jimmy! You go ahead and build that AT-AT.
