I'm getting too fucking old, the fucking etymology on this is hurting my brain. I guess I grasp the concept, but wtf does a cake have to do with it. Why can't you just say you find someone oddly attractive or w/e.

[–] nerdyshades 60 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The "cake" is a literal cake, and the concept is printed pictures on sticks or straws that you put into the cake as you mention or explain the unconventional person. It's just a "viral" online trend, a random fun thing friends do.

That sounds terribly inefficient.

'Mum, I've got something really important but slightly complicated to tell you. Give me three days to do some shopping, design some graphics and build accessories with them on, then bake a cake 👍'

It's for content. Not for coherence.

I think they meant "hear me out" crush

[–] 5too 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's a meme apparently. NerdyShades has the answer, but if you Google "hear me out cake", Forbes has an article about it.

We're all officially old!

[–] 200ok 4 points 1 month ago

I shouldn't be surprised. This seems normal by "skibidi toilet" standards.

Yeh it was eye opening how far I have drifted from the zeitgeist when I had to decode so much additional context to even be able to parse the sentence let alone see the humour of it. Feelsbadman

I feel like it might have been a typo of "case."

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

Or maybe "take?" But yeah, "cake" being there briefly made me feel insane.

How old are you? Beef cake has been used to describe an attractive muscular male body for decades. Not that far-fetched to see the connection.

Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal vibes

I know a woman that utterly hates that elf dentist guy. She's a lesbian though so maybe this lady is on to something. I need to understand the sexual energy at work here.

[–] aeronmelon 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kudos for correctly identifying him as a dentist.

[–] Jarix 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What else would you identify him as?

I’m too high to understand what this is trying to say

Her mom wants to fuck Hermey

For the dinosaurs in the audience, The typical use of this meme is when you'll be watching some sort of "you laugh you lose" or really any sort of commentary video/livestream where they might insert a funny gif or have a visual gag with some romantic or sexual edge to it, such as the one attached below.

Upon seeing this somebody will usually comment "hear me out" as if they are offering a defense as to why it's reasonable that they are sexually attracted to this character as part of an imaginary conversation that the reader would be having with them, where the reader is chastising them for having such thoughts. It's not that funny. It's just one of the many types of phrases that gets squawked by the "chat" in these videos.
