I would watch a sitcom about the most unlucky vampire who still manages to survive somehow.

Californians: “idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don’t know what he wanted.”
Context: as long as I’ve been on the west coast, I’ve literally never heard anyone call it the shore.
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD
SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 hours ago
Yea we call our side the Eastern Shore.
MrShankles@reddthat.com 7 hours ago
Lmao, I was having the same thought. “Shore” wouldn’t have crossed my mind unless I’m talking about Gulf Shores. And that’s a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; “shore” just isn’t in my vocab like that

Off topic, but it paints a grisly picture of humanity that all vampires have higher standards for consent than many humans.
hansolo@lemm.ee 22 hours ago
Seriously.
One vampire Dev pops “by clicking agree, you consent to vampires entering your home.” Into line 57842368 of the Instagram/FB TOS and suddenly it’s a feeding frenzy…
…How does one seek a script to Black Mirror?

Dystopian technofeudalist vampire is now one of my favorite new tropes. Thank you.

A “standard” implies it’s a societal norm they’re participating in, rather than a supernatural compulsion they’re restricted by.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
That’s a good point. Perhaps they’re instead restricted by a social code of honor and limited empathy. Like they could come in against your will, but most won’t because it’s a shameful violation of vampire ethics, and they would feel bad about it.
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
That’s because vampires are fictional.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
You’re right, of course, but you should still see the comment about Bryan Johnson elsewhere in this thread, if you haven’t already.
kamenlady@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I’m beginning to realise that even stones may have higher standards for consent than humans.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
For the sake of us all, I hope you’re wrong, but history being what it has been, I’m having trouble coming up with a counterargument.
VolumetricShitCompressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 hours ago
How does the lore work? Does the vampire need to hear the right thing or does the person need to mean the right thing?
makyo@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
The whole thing is vampire propaganda to make the general population feel more safe

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 hours ago
Otherwise vampires would be getting invited in because some word means “enter” or whatever in a different language.

Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.

Vampires stopped existing when a wild hermit man once declared that the entire outside was their home.

I’m pretty sure the magic preventing a vampire from entering without permission would not be overcome so easily.

Well the first letter is pronounced like the word why. The next one, is like the second name of rapper easy e. Now that third letter, thats a real fun pronunciation. How familiar are you with the 18th president of the USA?
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 23 hours ago
If vampires are sticking to a code of ethics and honour to enter your house than this wouldn’t work
You are answering a question with an answer … not making a verbal contract
You are making a statement … not giving permission

I’m from Jersey (New). I go down the shore, and while down the shore I go to the beach. This is how it’s always been and always will be (until the shore comes up to me because we’ve destroyed the environment)!

Except it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
