Another version (extra cold, I think!):

Did you hear about the mansplainer who fell into a hole?

It was a well, actually.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That makes a lot more sense and now is actually funny.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yours actually makes sense. At least written anyway, if you say the joke I'm sure you could emphasise the "Well, actually.." just right.

How did the hipster burn his mouth?

He drank his coffee before it was cool

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

That deserved its own post.

Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm gonna need a mansplanation for this one.

Well, actually the joke is making fun of the way certain people explain things to people they think are dumber than them. But don't you worry your pretty little noggin. We'll make sure you understand this joke.

Struggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is why you should have three lemmy accounts: One to upvote, one to downvote, and one to do neither.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I feel like some effort could be saved on that third one by not actually making the account until the "neither" button is added ;P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Interestingly, both, and neither do the same thing here.

Upvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote?

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

Upvote, upvote, downvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote, leftvote, rightvote, bvote, avote, startvote!

I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I'll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I'll discard it if I think it's not actually helpful or interesting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I think I've eliminated the "[well, ]actually" from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.

[–] Tarcion 3 points 11 months ago

Just omit either "well" or "actually". Maybe swap both for "surprisingly" or "unfortunately" depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(

Typical Redditor lol

My wife asked me what "mansplaining" is and now I'm not sure how to answer her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

you're in a dangerous loop.

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

Accurate representation of wish fulfillment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I guess he couldn't see that well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Well well well...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Actually it was a tree, he fell into a tree from a great height
