My female colleague told me the other day I'd make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.
"Whoever did your circumcision did a really good job." :/
I need more context 😭
As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I "really knew how to live."
"You have the most beautiful intestines!" And several other similar things as I was checked for cancer.
It's like the saying goes: true beauty is on the inside.
there was a comment thread where there was something along the lines of "when my roommate peed you could HEAR how his urethra was wider than a normal person" and I don't know how to feel about it
This is disturbing
I've had several people throughout my life tell me they like my earlobes. Had a friend as a kid, and her adoptive dad was obsessed with them. He was a very quirky and funny person, it was never creepy but still weird.
I don't know how weird it is but I've been told a few times that I have a "calming presence". It's a very nice compliment, just don't understand why or how.
This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.
Natural adaptation.
Could that be why?
Oh. Well that tracks, yeah.
Baseball, huh?
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I'm a "goddess among mortals" for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I'm an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn't seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
Most carrot cakes I've had contained raisins. I don't think it's chiefly an American thing but it definitely seems common enough.
I hate it. Anything that dramatically breaks up the texture of a food like that is a culinary mistake.
Raisins in cinnamon rolls is the true crime
This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don't mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I'd choose...I dunno, german chocolate or something.
Embrace the joy, Goddess.
She is correct. You are absolutely divine for excluding raisins, you radiant goddess, you!
She's right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You're a hero.
raisins are an abomination
I’m 38, male, chubby, can’t grow a beard for shit.
Raisins are wank. You’re “a goddess among mortals”.

Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.
I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was... special.
they just do that sometimes, it's normal

Irish people ask me what part of Ireland I’m from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesn’t have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.
Her "you look like Kevin federline"
Me "well fuck you too"
Her "what?! He's hot!"
Me "I stand by my statement"
I honestly forgot he existed
First girl I ever kissed complimented me on my nice looking hands at the teenybopper bar. Weird at the time, took me a couple of decades to realize women look at our hands, think of us touching them.
