That wouldn't work in Latin (were the correct translation to give the meaning you want would be something like Veni, Vidi, Eiaculatus), but it kinda works for english-speakers who also know enough Latin to get it, though I suspect most don't.
Next to none of us know Latin, but we pretty much all know "I came I saw I conquered"
Well, as I pointed out somewhere else, suggesting "I came, I saw, I came" in English as the name of a strip club or whorehouse is by itself pretty much the whole joke, and people don't need to know Latin to get it (to get "Veni, Vidi, Veni" one needs to know both the original expression in Latin and that the word "Veni" means "(I) came"), exactly because as you say, pretty much everybody knows "I came, I saw, I conquered".
Putting it in Latin for me feels more like a way to signal one's above average educational or cultural level, that anything that enhances the joke.
It should be more transactional.
Vendi, vidi, veni
(Technically it should be Emi, vidi, perveni)
"Ever since the city of Rome opened the 'Veni Vidi Veni' gentlemen's club last month, tourism has increase sixty-nine fold."
I laughed too hard at this. Thanks!
What is even a roman-themed brothel? Is that just an excuse for AIDS?
Why would the sex be unsafe? There are Trojans everywhere.
Nah, Trojans only hang out at Greasey places
Well, people present could wear some sort of short attire for easy access...
"I arrived, I saw, I arrived"?
Why?
I came, i saw, i came.
"I came, I saw, I came"
Vine, vi, me vine
I don't know how does it hold in italian, but in spanish kind of still works. Nevertheless, In spanish "venirse" isn't that common for came.. well, at least not where I live. Acabar, correrse.
Any Italian friend in the comments that can bring some light into the matter?
the 'veni' usually comes last, tho.
Right, which is why it's there at the end.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
