When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross
My mother used to say “If wishes were horses,” and I had no idea where that came from. I didn’t get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it’s a very old saying so I guess adults weren’t always gross.
Ok that’s enough internet for now. Please alert me when it is safe to return.
Internet? That’s enough humanity. We had a… run. Time to burn it all down.
fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn’t a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.
They say dictators don’t need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.
Humanity’s fine if we ripped down these over-paid pedos instead of allowed them to run billion dollar scams…
If you’re the last one out, please shut off the lights.
Don’t wait standing
(I dont know if this translates, in argentina we day “get yourself a chair” or “don’t wait standing” meaning that something wont happen)
The meaning of the idiom is remarkably clear in English. I propose we adopt this one.
Pull up a seat at the table.
I think we say, “don’t hold your breath,” in English.
Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)
I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…
“Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”
… yeah, I like the chair one

No, that’s wrong. Here’s the correct saying: If wishes were horses than I horse you a wish cock up the ass.
“Don’t kink shame”
idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao
It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”
Definitely the piss hand, unless your bowels are unwell.
…is not a sentence I thought I’d be typing today 😄
Liquid is harder to hold tho, so I think it depends on how you (subjectively) define when your hand is “full”
Well I know what phrase I’m using at the next opportunity
That sounds kinda close to an old saying I’ve heard once in over 40 years
Put a finger in your mouth and a finger in your anus, and hope; if that doesn’t work, switch around.
Lmao, where’d you hear that one?
High school from some staff member I think. Maybe 25 years ago.
It works. I’m going to start using it in fact.
I don’t know how to understand the anger I feel.
Better pull the plug on that bell, because “it’s here to stay”, some people says proudly.
This place is currently safer than other places right now.
