Mens boots, cargo shorts, overalls, and hats are a god damn vibe. Just the sheer fucking quality.

WHY CANT I HAVE THE LUXURY OF AQUIRING GOOD CARGO SHORTS!! WHYYYY

I just want to smell like something other than tree, cold tree, or beach episode tree.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 hour ago (3 children)

I'd prefer not to have any smell, but that is apparently really hard to do.

And why do all products for men have to look like I'm cosplaying a sci-fi tactical commando?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 27 minutes ago

I have persistent skin issues (psoriasis) and most specialized products are unscented.

This may be the singular upside to this situation ^^`

I also prefer to have no smell, speed stick makes a unscented deodorant and I have a scentless body wash, havent found a good shampoo yet though. Just using head and shoulders.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I assume having no smell is really hard to do and to cover up the slight chemical smell they put a stronger smell over it. That being said I am definitely not a deodorant taste tester so 🤷‍♀️

How about tree chopped into firewood?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Sawdust, yes.
Idle firewood loitering, no.
Burning tree bones, yes.
Vanilla cookies, fuck yes.

I don't like wanting to eat myself constantly

Me at the grocery store yesterday: "These cookies look delicious! And they're 90% off!"

Wife: "Those are lactation cookies..."

Me: "I didn't know that was a thing... They still look good though..."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 minutes ago

But did they taste good?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Lactation cookies ??? What is that ???
Cookies that came from tits ????

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Food that contains nutrition, galactagogues, and folk-remedy ingredients to help with (human) milk production. Arguably, they're just food.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

why did they have to take that name for a milk boosting plant and not the name of an elete squad of cyber astronauts or something :/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 50 minutes ago

Because the word for galaxy comes from milk haha

I thought it'd be a synagogue for Galactus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

Oh that term is such wasted potential! I thought it was going to be about radical public breastfeeding as a form of protest!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine being able to shoot cookies out your nips. That'd be fuckin' useful.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And by higher quality they mean jammed full of things that don't actually enhance the product but just act as fillers to make it seem fancy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

And the nature of which has to change every 3 months so that a new and improved version can come out.

The rule is buy the default-gendered variant. If there a special "men's section" or "women's section" for a certain product category it means you'll be ripped off.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Especially women’s. In French we call it “la taxe rose” (the pink tax).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

the French have such a way with words, that's almost as good as "le cigarette will cause le cancer"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

Not sure I appreciate the irony. But you’re correct that it sounds very similar in french.

One could say: “la cigarette va causer le cancer” although that sounds very “english” and is probably what someone who learnt french knowing english would say. The more “fluent” way would be “fumer peut mener au cancer”. But both are technically correct.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

it's called pink tax in English too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 56 minutes ago (1 children)

I mean unless it's a more expensive product marketed to men, in which case it's called an example of fragile masculinity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 50 minutes ago

I call it the Axe Tax
