7.74 inches was my favorite hint that it is satire.

You don't measure your penis with a digital depth gauge?

[–] ironhydroxide 25 points 3 months ago

Only when sounding

[–] Ulvain 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Everybody knows real men measure their penises in metric

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The meta joke (sorry for my German accent)

No but now you made me want to get out my micron gauge.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Every little micron counts. Eh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, exactly. This is pure satire.

That it's near indistinguishable from reality at this point, is a tragedy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Implied +/- 10 thou accuracy isn't appropriate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In my case, that would be the difference between nonexistence or double size.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Measuring your penis down to the hundredth of an inch; totally not insecure at all.

[–] booly 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lists penis length to hundredths of an inch, won't list height, only posts selfies of himself sitting down.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's clear from the text he's 5'7"

[–] booly 12 points 3 months ago

This is clever, I had to look again and literally laughed out loud when I saw it.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago (2 children)

One thing turning people off is certainly that they're imagining they have hundreths of an inch accuracy instead of just writing 7 3/4.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

The more accurate the number looks the more realer it is! That's stience, you rube!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

You got something here. That is how Americans or people used to the imperial system would write this. This is satire, but not from someone that uses the imperial (inch) system regularly. Here in Germany, you don't use fractions like that like Americans do.

The fuck is atlanto-mediterannean ?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 3 months ago

He wants to say he’s white, but not one of those swarthy Greeks or Italians that make his bloodline impure.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

sigh he's from Atlantis

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If I remember right, there are only 3 countries that have coastlines at the Mediterranean Sea AND the Atlantic ocean. Spain, France and Morocco.

My guess is, he uses such a weird definition because he is North African but wants to highlight his not being brown, because that doesn't go well with his white supremacy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

all three of those being famous for their pale complexions, of course.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Doesn't matter because nobody is applying to be his girlfriend.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Oooo that true. Don't forget the Rock.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

There's a certain level of racist that gets really involved in classifying humans into small subcategories so they can know how racist they should be to each one. Used to be popular with "scientific racism" in the 19th century, but you don't see it much anymore.

It's extra weird.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

If I had to guess, after seeing this weird shit and watching too much pseudo-archaology debunking stuff lately: he means the descendants of the Mediterranean and Atlantian people. There's a crazy group of people who think Atlantis is real, and either had a worldwide advanced culture, or at least through the Mediterranean.

The Atlantis myth was heavily accepted by the Nazis as the ancestors of the Aryan people, which is why the Aryans are "so much better" than everyone else. It is still a popular tool to belittle ancient people and to say their accomplishments had to be done instead by this white Atlantian group instead.

It means one of their grandparents is from Italy, otherwise it'd be "Northern European".

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I refuse to believe this isn't a hilarious joke account.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Yeah this shit reads like an onion article lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Probably, but then, there are people out there that would unironically post shit like this.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Anyone here ever play Disco Elysium? That Atlanto-Mediterranean sounds like something Measurehead would say.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I'd be willing to wager that the Venn diagram of Lemmy users and people who have played it is basically just a circle

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

OCCIDENTAL HAPLOGROUP B4 IS DONE GIVING ORDERS AROUND HERE. THE INFLUENCE OF THE "HAM SANDWICH RACE" IS WANING.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

"Ancap" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Wtf is wrong with this dude.

Obsessed with comparison.

E: if anyone reading this has intrusive thoughts of comparing yourself to others, stop that shit. Comparison to others is a killer of all joy, and nobody cares except you.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

He learned it from Daddy Trump.

[–] rocky1138 20 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I thought inches didn't convert easily to decimal...?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I love that he’s rounded it to two decimal places. As if a woman would say, “7.7? That’s it?”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

yeah, there is no way the measurement instrument was precise enough to make that last decimal significant

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

He just wants to filter out all the women who understand sig figs because he can't handle dating someone smarter or more educated than him.

Also, if he was going to measure in fucking inches he should've just called it "3/4"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He measured on a heartbeat to ensure it was as big as possible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

during high tide

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Digital calipers use decimal inches rather than fractional. I’m guessing that was what he used to measure himself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

I'm thinking he used his eyes and threw out a number that he liked.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

After reading this, I want to convert his inches with my left foot

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is one place where the metric system really shines. If I say I'm 6.5", it sounds like I'm desperate for that last half inch. If I say I'm 17cm, that's just what it is.
