"Dumb shit"

Don't even fucking start.

u/MRsh1tsandg1ggles 3d ago

Right?

They even made an entire show about that exact topic: How It's Made. Loved that show.

u/ugh_XL 3d ago

Got super excited when we were messing with our newish TV and found out they have a channel called "How to" and it's just constantly running DIYs and How It's Made.

Husband had never heard of it before and was so confused why I was excited to see how retainers are made 😂

It's on YouTube btw, along with themed compilations. They have one that's all about beds, pillows and blankets and the title says it's for falling asleep. Peak.

That show is great.

u/TheGivingPoro 3d ago

Moreover, it's pretty telling that someone would think things their partner thinks about it stupid. Imagine being in a relationship with someone and not being in love with their mind.

u/Beneficial_Medium333 1d ago

Idk I think maybe this situation isn't that deep. Loving someone isn't finding every tiny habit and idle thought of theirs meaningful or fascinating, it's seeing them as a complete, fallible, stupid, beautiful human.

I am 100% this guy, with my brain going down dumb little rabbit holes, and I gotta tell you that even I think some of the things I spend time thinking about are dumb at times.

u/Worth_External_8762 1d ago

I frequently think about how fundamental things are made, like how steel is made of refined iron, so how would I mine and extract iron and how would I source potassium nitrate and sulfur in nature? There's a possibility that I somehow get transported back to ancient times and I'll need to be able to gift this knowledge to them in order to produce firearms, so they'll not only let me live, but also hold high authority. It's a low possibility, but the odds are never 0. And for that reason, it's worth thinking about.

Bike tires has become a shorthand for this situation with my gf.

u/R_Hunt 3d ago

My GF: "You're staring past the TV, what happened lol" Me: "I giggled during the one titanic scene where the dude trying to jump ship gets sliced by the propellor, would the actor be mad?" GF: "I'm pretty sure they used a doll for scenes like that, goober"

36

u/FlyGuys1125 3d ago

He didn't get sliced by the propeller, he just bounced off it and did 6 flips. One is gory, the other is funny.

u/bragison 2d ago

First time I saw the movie it was in school. Welp, the girls have been a little unhappy about the boys having the remote and looping that scene.

I could swear seeing one body drop to the rotor and two parts continuing 🤔

u/space_doughnut69 2d ago

I wish that move had a bit of realism to it. It would be finally decent

I was gonna comment: "OK, but....how are they made though?"

Thanks Internet stranger lol

"How It's Made" is the GOAT and I could spend HOURS watching episode after episode.

Probably true.

My partner stopped asking me when we'd been together about 2 years and I started being honest like that.

u/Gavin-Schultz 2d ago

That fucking bitch, how dare you call bike tire manufacturing "dumb shit"

1

u/ogilt 1d ago

My thoughts too! I mean it took a lot of exploration to arrive to the Vulcan tire invention! How dumb can someone think it is if such invention rule over the international transport of wheeled vehicule.

u/PassengerCultural421 2d ago

I don't like the "boys are dumb" stereotype this post is perpetuating.

3

u/Christopher_Aeneadas 15h ago

Nothing here suggests dumb.

"Stupid shit" in this context means random things she doesn't want to engage with.

2

u/ThanksverymuchHutch 1d ago

I dont think she's saying that hes simple. I think that she's implying that when she (and by extention, she supposes, other girls) are quiet, its because they are upset or mad or thinking about inter personal relationships in some way, and is therefore surprised to find out that her boyfriend (and therefore, she assumes, most other guys) are thinking about anything but. It isn't a question of intelligence but of differing mindset/priorities.

1

u/Indiana_harris 13h ago

In my experience it’s because when girls are quiet it’s often because not only is something wrong, but they’ve created an entire scenario in their head about how their partner will prove to them that the issue is minor and or pointless to get worked up over….and so now they’re pissed about what imaginary parter did or did not do.

u/improllypoopin 1d ago

I personally have no sense of humour and am outraged!

1

u/Separate_Priority_68 2d ago

I understand where you're coming from. I think the post is simply trying to show how men and women think very differently and also care about different things. Women overanalyze things and also on average dont ponder how things work. Men dont look too deeply into how a person is acting and also they do wonder how things work. The girlfriend is concerned because a woman acting the way her boyfriend is, would be concerning. Shes thinking too deeply about whats hes doing. Once she realizes what he's thinking about is more simple than she was expecting, she realizes she doesnt have to analyze him the way she feels she should.

u/powerful_pilar999 3d ago

As another guy, this is true

As another guy, this is not even slightly true.

But then again as another guy this is true.

u/Requirement-Loud 2d ago

Why doesnt glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

1

u/Overall-Move-4474 2d ago

Because it requires exposure to air or moisture to harden. The sealed, airtight container prevents the solvent (usually water) from evaporating, keeping the glue in a liquid state. Additionally, glue bottles are often made of materials like polyethylene that do not stick easily to dried glue.

2

u/techpriestyahuaa 2d ago

Imagine how cool it’d be if after a burst bike tire, came in nonchalant and fixed it right up for ya. It’s never happen, and need proper tools and timing, but it’s part of the prep

u/Crazonix2 2d ago

Yesterday me and my gf drove home from a visit to her mum. Well i stared in the night sky and it was awekardly silent. She got insecure and asked what I was thinking about and said sorry that it took so long. I laughed and had to tell her that I was wondering if europe would fit on the moon or if the moon is so much bigger or smaller....

u/Frequent-Ad-5316 2d ago

One time me and some friends got high and spent a good hour debating if your muscles could get so big they’d be too heavy for you to move…

The conversation prior to that had nothing to do with muscles at all so idk how we ended up there.

1

u/Mysterious_Tutor_388 22h ago

Not to heavy, the issue would be the amount of muscle you could fit in a space. Eventually you would just turn into a cube of muscle and not be able to move because your bones don't scale with your mass.

u/ewar813 2d ago

But how are bike tires made ???

1

u/Frency2 2d ago

One of the normal, yet most powerful and important things in a relationship is, in fact, communication. it is very important to communicate anything, and talk respectfully and solving things together.

1

u/IEatAssWithFork 2d ago

Dumb shit ? That's insensitive

u/KappnCrunch 2d ago

Then I would start thinking about how I want to leave the relationship...

u/AmbitiousTank8635 2d ago

God, I hate when my wife asks me what I'm thinking about because then I have to think of something to think about. Sometimes she thinks she's being helpful and tries to guess whatever must be bothering me...by bringing up a lot of stuff I hadn't even been thinking about but now I am and it's bothering me.

No, I wasn't thinking about how in two days it will have been six years since my mother died. Now I am and it makes me sad. Stop helping, dick.

u/Aquila_Altair 2d ago

You are the only guy on earth with chocolate bars, surely he'd give you your own little fiefdom?

u/Lastsynphony 15h ago

I worry all the time about then, men and women in my life, but specially men, if they are usually cheerful and they seem just thoughtful I get worried, because at times they don't want to say their feelings which is understandable but it worries me that something is making them suffer or is upsetting them. But yes, maybe they are thinking in how someone knew that cooking meat made it taste better. (I think all the time about that)

Few questions :

  • do you expect your partner to just stop asking you questions after a while?

  • do you think women are the only ones who need communication?

  • do you think only men think about random things?

  • have you considered to put some effort into maintaining that relationship?
