It's funny, because two male electrical plugs will still pass electricity fine if you put them together.

I am not an engineer, but I've heard hardware stores will refuse to sell anything to you if you are trying to make a cord that's male on both ends due to that being a crazy dangerous fire hazard

But still, plugs aren't people anyway...

On that note "Oh but a key that opens any lock is more impressive than a lock that opens for any key."

"Yes, but my vagina isn't a lock, it's a hole... and your penis isn't a key, and it sure as hell isn't unlocking me without my say so."

i don't know if the thrust of the original original post was meant to be homophobic, or racist, or both.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Well, the answer is definitely sexist. So we have all three in one meme.

It's twitter, so who knows: it might even be ironic.

[–] ForthEorlingas@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What you're referring to as "Twitter" is achtually "X, the service formerly known as Twitter" 🤓

[–] Posh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

The URL still says ‘twitter’.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

To answer the question implied ( how do lovers with non-hetero bits get it on? ) the answer is any way they can. The sex is not about making sure the parts fit but engaging in physical intimacy and expressing love (or at least extreme horniness) for each other, and so any given couple is going to figure something out, even if its frottage or oral or whatever.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

That's really confusing for me since in German we have a seperated word for engaging in physical intimacy/extreme horniness that excludes sex. The closest to that in English would be to make out with someone.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Yes. The LGBT+ community sometimes uses the word outercourse (as opposed to intercourse ) also play is a supercategory.

Oh. Yeah. Forgot about that. I looked up "rummachen" and there wasn't a good translation

[–] Shunned_Marble4378@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

petting is sexual intercourse without penetration but not without having an orgasm though. so 'rummachen' is definitly different.

I think they consider sex to be sinful if it's not purely for the sake of procreation.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

That's the case for a lot of modern Christian ministries, though they'll hum and haw about circumstances, such as if an infertile woman should have sex with her husband.

The scholarly consensus regarding Paul's proscriptions is that even childbearing is inappropriate since the apocalypse is imminent. That sex is only allowed to sate men whose lust burns too hot (or something to that effect.)

Obviously, the apocalypse didn't happen before that generation died, and Christians had to renegotiate with their dogma.

It's also noted that there's no such thing as rape or consent at the time, in that in any sexual encounter, the dominating / penetrating individual is the one taking power and is presumed to have agency. So when two guys get it on, the top is guilty of adultery or fornication (and is killed for such sins) but the bottom is free of responsibility. He is killed anyway because the incident pollutes the land with bad spirit and requires the death to regain its purity (which is really rather chthonic for what becomes a very spirity dogma).

There's a lot of apologetics devoted to navigating this because otherwise modern Christians have to contend with the lack of consensual sex, the chattelization of women and active participation in institutionalized sex slavery (non-Hebrews captured in war were totally allowed to be sex slaves), so it's all a mess.

The analogy with the plugs and sockets is so lame anyways.

They want to compare a plug and a socket but the analogy falls apart once one takes a moment to realise that the penis analogy, a plug, is a receiver for electricity.

Do eggcells suddenly travel up dudes dicks and deposit babies inside them?

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Why would electrical cables be biologically designed? They don't evolve, they're man made.

What idiot out there thinks that iPhone is birthed from some sort of biological design womb?

There's also hermaphrodite connectors, connecting any way whatsoever. And then there's connectors which are assigned male or female but when you look closely enough it's not so clear any more: The general rule is that whenever a stiff conductor mates with a a springy conductor then the stiff one is male and the springy one female, but then have a look at e.g. DB connectors (serial, parallel, VGA cables) and you see that the ground/shielding is stiff on the side that is springy for all the signal lines, and the male connector thus completely envelops the female one.

CEE 7/3 sockets (German) are unambigiously female, while CEE 7/5 sockets (French) have a male earth, and then you have bisexual plugs, CEE 7/7, mating with both.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Isn't the rule that the female connector should be closer to the power source and the male closer to the appliance? So you don't accidentally shock yourself.

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Live conductors should never be exposed, but that doesn't mean that they need to be female as in be the springy part, they can also be stiff conductors that are shielded somehow. Take say DIN 56905, hermaphrodite power cables for stage lighting and stuff

Steve Jobs is alive and gets bred by a Macintosh like cattle to birth iPhones

The same idiot that thinks an omniscient, omnipotent being created you and gets mad about your sexuality.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I love jokes like these, other variants I've heard are

"Libtard can you even tell me the difference between Sex and Gender if they're REALLY two different things?" "Well it's quite simple, you see the difference is that I didn't have gender with your mother last night."

"There's only two sexes!" "You're right! There are only two sexes, the sex I have with your mom, and the sex I have with your dad."

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Just FYI, telling them the difference between sex and gender is the difference between biology and psychology usually shuts them right up.

Why is it okay to be sexist?

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That's not really how yo mama jokes work, in an insult sense. They work by implying that suddenly you're, socially speaking, their father, the rest is flourish. Like the maid uniform your mom wore last night.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These types of jokes "work" because people consider it an insult when you somehow suggest their mother is promiscuous, or fat, or whatever. When you wonder why that's sexist ask yourself why these kind of jokes aren't told as: "Me and my friends gangbanged your father."

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why would anyone care about that? I already explained how they work: A new man moving into a mother-son relationship is not exactly a trivial thing, you're completely ignoring even the concept to then assert, without argument, that it must all be due to sexism.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

I care for that because I don't think that sexism and misogyny are in any way better or more justified than other forms of bigotry.

[–] normalmighty@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

So this person thinks too dudes bang by smashing their dicks into each other full force? At least now I see why they might be a little concerned lol
