Boys have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute post.

Hey speak for yourself!

Or, you know, it's a reference to a song by Kelis.

Edit: That led me to this instrumental mix of the song, which would be a pretty awesome dance track on its own.

I was focused on the information the referencer added. The song makes no mention of labor or idiots. The tweeting author's message is that there is a distinct value difference in laborers and idiots. Please excuse me, I took it too personally, because I am not only a laborer and an idiot, but I am also boy who is predisposed to an attraction to yards containing milkshakes. ๐Ÿฅค

The joke, and I can't believe I have to explain it to you, is that if her milkshake brings the boys to the yard, they better make it worth making a milkshake.

If the song lyric was "my milkshake brings the girls to the yard," the joke would be exactly the same.

Well are the girls going to mow the lawn or do they just stand there like idiots?

Girls have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute comment.

[-] tastysnacks@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

So will they just stand around displaying their inherit value, or providing instrumental value equal to that of a delicious milkshake?

[-] randomdeadguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

You would have to pay me, and even then...

boys implementing the superior solution of not mowing the lawn because f**k lawns.

deserving a milkshake for their ecological actions

good boys ๐Ÿ‘Œ

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 week ago

But of course not dairy milk because they are trying to do positive ecological actions.

"Hello, police? There's a group of boys fucking my lawn. Send help."

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

It's about 20% working, 80% idiots, but the idiots are crucial to productivity

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Got a bad run this time - all idiots. Gotta reroll I guess. Go get the blender back out.

Nah, just give it a bit! Individuals switch states back & forth, it's the "construction site principle"

[-] kabynbojski@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Whatever you do, don't give them straws.

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Warm it up

The boys are waiting

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Who drinks warm milkshakes?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hot chocolate is just a warm chocolate milkshake.

The yard in question:

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

Meh. What flavor is the milkshake? Will having the milkshake even make life better for anyone?
