Californians: "idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don't know what he wanted."

Context: as long as I've been on the west coast, I've literally never heard anyone call it the shore.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD In 1997

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Yea we call our side the Eastern Shore.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago

Lmao, I was having the same thought. "Shore" wouldn't have crossed my mind unless I'm talking about Gulf Shores. And that's a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; "shore" just isn't in my vocab like that

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 108 points 2 days ago

Beach.

There's no need to call me names, buddy

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

I would watch a sitcom about the most unlucky vampire who still manages to survive somehow.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Huh, I never thought of it that way. Good take. Also, Matt Berry is a treasure.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 91 points 2 days ago

Off topic, but it paints a grisly picture of humanity that all vampires have higher standards for consent than many humans.

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 59 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Seriously.

One vampire Dev pops "by clicking agree, you consent to vampires entering your home." Into line 57842368 of the Instagram/FB TOS and suddenly it's a feeding frenzy....

...How does one sell a script to Black Mirror?

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

Dystopian technofeudalist vampire is now one of my favorite new tropes. Thank you.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Peter Thiel has never felt so appreciated..

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

He's why I have a crucifix-shaped wifi jammer nailed to my headboard.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Oh THAT'S why? I thought it was a kink thing..

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I never said it wasn't. Maybe I just get off on antagonizing billionaire vampires.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago
[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for bringing it back up. These people are literally parasites.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Plus, there’s a (kind of) precedent. All you’d have to do is plan it for April fool’s day.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

A "standard" implies it's a societal norm they're participating in, rather than a supernatural compulsion they're restricted by.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That's a good point. Perhaps they're instead restricted by a social code of honor and limited empathy. Like they could come in against your will, but most won't because it's a shameful violation of vampire ethics, and they would feel bad about it.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I mean, sure. But that's some supernatural ability to compartmentalize.

"I'll drain the blood from your veins in a fit of bestial hunger but I won't just...enter your house uninvited. I'm a monster, not an animal."

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I've eaten a steak before, but I won't slaughter a cow. People are complicated and inconsistent sometimes.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Fair enough.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That’s because vampires are fictional.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You're right, of course, but you should still see the comment about Bryan Johnson elsewhere in this thread, if you haven't already.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'm beginning to realise that even stones may have higher standards for consent than most humans.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

For the sake of us all, I hope you're wrong, but history being what it has been, I'm having trouble coming up with a counterargument.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Vampires are from Staten Island and Noo Yawk Citttttaaaaaay.

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

A lot of us in NOLA, too! And Denver for some reason...

How does the lore work? Does the vampire need to hear the right thing or does the person need to mean the right thing?

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

The whole thing is vampire propaganda to make the general population feel more safe

Big Blood is playing us for fools

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 23 points 2 days ago

Doesn't matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Ah, the Harry Dresden Assassination technique

[-] owl@infosec.pub 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

me: coast?
vampire: Mhm -_- How would you pronouce the first three letters of "yesterday" ^may^ ^i^ ^come^ ^in?^

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Well the first letter is pronounced like the word why. The next one, is like the second name of rapper easy e. Now that third letter, thats a real fun pronunciation. How familiar are you with the 18th president of the USA?

[-] owl@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

Not very, but his name was "Ulysses S. Grant" wasn't it ^may^ ^I^ ^come^ ^in?^

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago

If vampires are sticking to a code of ethics and honour to enter your house than this wouldn't work

You are answering a question with an answer .... not making a verbal contract

You are making a statement ... not giving permission

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

haha! yeah!

like who doesn't know what a sure is ᵐᵃʸ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶦⁿ?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Are you a cop? Because I don't answer questions without legal representation....

[-] match@pawb.social 7 points 2 days ago

"A Beatles song, XXXterday."

Yes No

Three characters you say.
