Did your girlfriend come to her senses, and realize how great those plates are?

[-] huppakee@feddit.nl 10 points 3 months ago

Obv its because he chose the plates and not the girlfriend

[-] FlihpFlorp@piefed.zip 12 points 3 months ago

Dear god it them

The myth, the legend, the plate

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Can it bee?

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 92 points 3 months ago

Make a terrible person leave you alone in this one easy step

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

She didn't communicate her needs well enough.

Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 57 points 3 months ago

Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. ...but that's two things now, so...

[-] Tenniswaffles 45 points 3 months ago

Didn't communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond "get fancy dinner plates"? How do you fuck that up? If you're unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

[-] licheas@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

These are fancy. and they're dinner plates.

They may not be "formal", but they're definitely fancy.

[-] Tenniswaffles 16 points 3 months ago

No, they're children's dinner plates. That's about as far from fancy as you can get. Made from sturdy plastic instead of ceramic or what have you so they don't break when an unruly child throws it on the floor to spite their broccoli.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

found the girlfriend

Plain children’s dinner plate:

Context is always important. Again, she meant “formal”,

Should he have known better? Sure. But she should have known him better too

[-] Tenniswaffles 7 points 3 months ago

In no context are the bee plates any kind of fancy.

If you are somewhat tight for cash or shopping for another person some conflict stemming from this is completely reasonable.

[-] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 47 points 3 months ago

Then again I find it weird to give someone money and then say "Buy some plates" without any further details or supervision. Of course anon could have, yknow, asked if the plates are okay before ordering

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 61 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A greentext story is like a dream. You're following the narrative, while simultaneously thinking that this makes no sense and how did things get here.

[-] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago

You reflect on the weird nature of your dreams as you have them? I just go with the flow, accepting things as real, even though in reality they make no sense. Which then raises the question: how do I know I am not dreaming? Sure, things appear to make sense here, as opposed to dream nonsense. But if dreams don't seem weird in context, how do I know there isn't a level above, where what we take as logical makes no sense?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 18 points 3 months ago

"buy fancy dinner plates" is enough details

[-] licheas@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

I mean, depending on context, these qualify.

I like how it has an attached dipping plate. Not doubt for ketchup to dip dinosaurs nuts in

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

those are to give the kid different types of food in correct quantities

source : am dad, even have the cutlery that fits this set.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 12 points 3 months ago

Dinosaur... nuts? Never heard of 'em

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago

Come over to my place sometime.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure thats just a matching bowl next to it.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Dino Nuggies are for kids, adults eat tendies.

[-] latenightnoir 43 points 3 months ago

Are you kidding me?! There isn't a single person I know who wouldn't at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I'd use those plates even for formal events, the only people who'd be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!

[-] licheas@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago

and teenagers insisting they're no longer kids. (same fight as "kids table" stuff. To be honest, when I became an adult, the kids table was always more fun anyhow. Dinosaurs are way more interesting topics of conversation than adult-stuff.)

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

100% same. I'm the built-in babysitter for family events. Why would I want to hear my aunt ask for the 500th time why I'm not married, when my nephews and nieces are playing out a story where Bluey and Sonic the Hedgehog team up to fight crime? Screw boring grown-up talk, I want the imaginative adventure.

[-] latenightnoir 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I 100% believe the moment we try to pretend we aren't children anymore is the moment we deny a huge chunk of what makes us human.

Not to mention a HUGE mistake logistically speaking, because it also means that we wouldn't be working with the actual data. We don't lose who we've been, it constantly gets incorporated into who we're becoming. Those kids we used to be are still there, alive and well (and probably sobbing in a corner for a friggin' crumb of honest, carefree enjoyment of, like, anything!) and all we do is to try to bury them deeper and deeper, until we can't hear those sobs anymore. But those sobs just get worse, until they... stop. After a loong, long time, they stop - killed where nobody else could hear it.

And if all of that sounds insane, it's because it is. That's my point.

Can confirm, these are awesome plates. They were my daughter’s favorites.

[-] Nebula@fedia.io 17 points 3 months ago

Idk what his gf is on about. These slap and anon is clearly a distinguished gentleman.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

Could've been interpreted as he wants kids but anyway.

[-] TRAHR@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

They're so cute.

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune 10 points 3 months ago

Fake (anon has gf) and gay (said fake gf hates the plates)

[-] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago

I'd be fucking delighted if my wife brought home these plates.
