did she do the invisible ink treatment?

[-] Master@lemm.ee 35 points 6 months ago

Written with her dads cum. Touching message indeed!

[-] RedC@sh.itjust.works 88 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I regret expanding this comment

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

As do I, but at least I was able to block another "person" from my view.

[-] Master@lemm.ee 22 points 6 months ago
[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 6 months ago

And the dude who suggested using semen as invisible ink was named Cummings...

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I'm down for more cum facts if you got any.

Cannot believe I just typed those words.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

He didn't mind expanding something on the paper...

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 110 points 6 months ago

Now imagine how fucking sad it would be if he had accidentally put a blank paper in there, thrown out the heartwarming and touching letter he'd written to his kid with all the feelings he never could express otherwise and died thinking his kid would at least find some comfort in those words.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 114 points 6 months ago

I have a feeling that the blank paper hit harder. It seems like that gag perfectly encapsulated her dad's sense of humor and their relationship.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 49 points 6 months ago

Yeah, if I were in her shoes, it would be impossible not to imagine my dad chuckling to himself as he slipped his mortal bonds, smug with satisfaction at having pulled the longest, pettiest prank possible on your kid. That piece of paper would be a treasure.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 48 points 6 months ago

Reminds me of someone who said their dad died. They logged into the dad’s Facebook. He’d made a number of status updates over the preceding months, that gradually grew sadder IIRC.

Not a single reply to any one.

Visibility was accidentally set to only me. The guy never knew.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 6 months ago

That’s really unfortunate. Devastatingly so. Well, now I’m sad.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

It’s OK, it’s only been in my head for several years 🙃

[-] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 42 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I did this before. I was about to die and then accidentally put an empty letter paper into an envelope and thought the letter I did write to my daughter was my scratch paper... so I threw it away. I later passed but through a stroke of luck my daughter found my letter in the trash and was still able to read it. so I can rest easy now knowing that.

[-] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

you…passed?

I didnt realize theres internet in the afterlife

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

Haven't you heard about "the dead internet theory"?

[-] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

there's fiber up here

[-] Raxiel@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Was the letter reassuring her that, even at the end, you had chicken?

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Is this a Leroy Jenkins reference?

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It was actually a hidden message and she had to hold it under warmth to read it, never knew and threw it away.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

He actually put both in there.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

the ultimate dad joke, the letter was actually swapped with a family heirloom the entire time.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 49 points 6 months ago

Many years ago, my dad and I were talking in the car, and I memorized a random license plate. Since then, he's occasionally asked me if I remember, but I'm not allowed to say it or write it down anywhere because that's cheating. If I remember right, he's planning to quiz me on my wedding day, whenever that happens.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 32 points 6 months ago

but I’m not allowed to say it or write it down anywhere

Convenient

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 14 points 6 months ago

The only assurance he has that I'm not going to make something up is that he knows I don't lie.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago
[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

That sounds like a lie. I gave up lying looong ago.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I was just poking fun that you can’t prove it to us

Not that we know the original anyway ٩(^‿^)۶

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Haha, I don't have to prove a thing to you. This is between me and my father.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 10 points 6 months ago

My older brother used to make me memorize random things. When he took me to practice driving, he'd quiz me on the color and type of cars around me. He'd ask me license plates of people in the parking lot or to remember long combinations of words letters and numbers

At one point, I could glance at an SSN or credit card number and remember it for a while... I can't do it anymore, but my passwords are great. It's amazing what the mind can be trained to do

We also came up with this stupid super long url, I still remember it decades later but he can never get the whole thing right. One of these days I'm going to buy the domain name and put something up there, it's almost a password in itself

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 25 points 6 months ago

Can you give some examples of credit cards you've memorized? Don't forget the three wacky numbers on the back.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

We should know when they expire as well, just to be sure.

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Record yourself signing it in ASL. Doesn't break his rules.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

I’d see it as a positive, could have been Anthrax

[-] deathbysnusnu@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Caught in a Mosh!

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 6 months ago

Maybe he wrote a secret message on it with invisible ink containing the location of El Dorado, the lost city of gold. You still have it, right?

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 months ago

Man, he really didn't trust you did he?

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago

She destroyed the sealed envelope! He really shouldn't have trusted her with it!

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Better than opening it to "you were adopted"

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Mine couldn’t even put in that much effort

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

They lost the envelope before giving it to you...

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I hope it was truly meant as a dad joke. It kind of reads like a control issue.
