Stupid sexy Danes. This'll show em for not wallowing in filth.
Note: many accounts from Native Americans circa 1500CE describe Europeans as being absolutely disgusting, stinky, pockmarked, dirty savages.

One of the dismissals from natives to Portuguese colonizers was “go bathe”. It’s still used to this day in Brazil when you’re fed up with someone’s antics.
The Aztecs, it's said, would follow Cortés and his soldiers with burning incense to mask their smell (though that might be hearsay).
We’re censoring the world hell now?
Don't shoot the meme vector! The censorship wasn't my addition, I swear.
But yes, I'm given to understand some online groups on shitty social media sites censor even mild curses to maximize their reach, because of algorithms deprioritizing or reporting content as 'adult'.
Can you please uncensor it before (re)posting? I’m offended.
Sounds too much like work, I'm allergic to that
My man!
Smoking can damage your health.
And so can work!
Fuck you and knock that shit off. We're not all a bunch of goddamned filth-mongers like you, willing to say such crass words as H-E-double-hockey-sticks, you piss-coveting ass-licking bastard-fucking son of a bitch.
You should have the decency to represent yourself better in the fancy domains of Lemmy and the internet overall.

I can't think of a single reaction gif that wouldn't include a sad "RIP"
Calm down Corporal O'Reilly.

Ah so dead internet fodder
“I find the word ‘heck’ insulting, I prefer the term ‘hot place of torment and despair.’”
I find the terms "torment" and "despair" to be aggravating, can you use the terms "unfun poking" and "the supersad"?
Dang, what a world when taking a bath once a week, and occasionally changing your clothes was the height of attractiveness, effective enough to undermine the chastity of wives. The husbands must have been some sticky, slovenly bastards.
They most likely just washed themselves with wet rags on the other days. There was no running water back then, remember?
It is funny that one of the main ways they can tell there were Vikings in an area was due to the number of combs. Vikings would carry several combs made from different materials.
