Nah, Squid's quintessentially middle aged.

I'd say Sponge seems like an impressionable 20s-something, and Patrick has the vibe of some overly confident know-nothing 30 yr old haha

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 22 hours ago

I had a hard enough time converting cat years to human years.

Don't make me do squid to horse.

My horse was a gift. I'm not allowed to look in it's mouth.

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 72 points 1 day ago

Holy shit is that why it's a thing? Cause you would be checking the age and it's rude?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

I thought it was more generally the health of the horse? Apparently it's both

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, I've been told this is why. Because then you'd know if it was a good gift or not.

The horse told me it was Durex.

That's one mighty big condom.

[-] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

The horse sized ones aren't OTC. You have to ask the pharmacist as they are behind the counter. Not because they are prescription strength or anything. Apparently its because climatologists keep stealing them for low altitude weather balloons.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

You know if you know, I guess.

I had a classmate at school who used to boast that he could suck his own dick. We expressed incredulity, but it was a weird flex for one so homophobic.

My wife has had no complaints. Well, not on that topic at least.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

This isn't always accurate if your horse has neglected teeth. Make sure to schedule those floats, y'all.

The teeth Squidward used to eat his first Krabby Patty

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

We can now verify that Squidward is in fact a 30 year old horse

From Wikipedia:

The Galvayne's groove occurs on the upper corner incisor, producing a vertical line, and is helpful in approximating the age of older horses. It generally first appears at age 10, reaches halfway down the tooth by age 15, and is completely down the tooth at age 20. It then begins to disappear, usually half-way gone by age 25, and completely gone by age 30. The groove is named after horse expert Sydney Frederick Galvayne who claimed he had invented the use the groove to age a horse; however, it had been earlier described by his teacher Professor Hamilton Sample.

What a prick lol

[-] Colalextrast@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

But if we called it the Sample Line we'd confuse it with the lines at Costco, and we can't have that. The Sample Lines are too important.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

what, you don't got tooth line? hey everyone, laugh at abbadon. they don't got tooth line

this is a future meme

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

So that's where “long on the tooth” comes from.

[-] MurrayL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Well, sort of. While it does refer to horses, it’s actually a reference to how their gums recede as they get older, making the teeth look longer (at least according to Brewer’s).

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 10 points 1 day ago

Also "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Really thought this was a picture about the Alien monster extracting mouth thing.

You just typed it. It looks like a three and five next to each other, in that order.

What'a ya? Dense, or somethin'?

That brown stripe just keeps circling around like it's loading new teeth.
