Preemptive edit: Connect keeps deleting the text of my post before I can post it and it’s really annoying. As a result this might not be as articulate as I tried to make my first attempt at a response.
Where I grew up, there was a horse pasture at the the of the road. (And another at the other end, but that one was at the top of a big hill so I never really saw the horses there. I only know it was a pasture because apparently my sister had a horse there, then lost it when she started getting younger brothers.)
Once my mom was driving my brother and me somewhere, doesn’t really matter where, and while she waited at the intersection adjacent to the pasture we could see, my brother and I observed a horse in an odd pose. While waiting to be able to cross traffic, she realized we were trying to figure out the horse’s unusual stance and said “and that, gentlemen, is how horses pee.”
Thank you for reminding me of my mother, if in an unconventional manner.

I like to drink, but I never drink and drive.
I once was at the only liquor store in my small town. While I was making my selection, another tenant came in and asked “is it okay if I park out front?”
The clerk answered “oh, the cops don’t give out tickets in this town.”
Didn’t love overhearing that from them.
- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 2 days ago:
Agreed, but I don’t think the urban legend was claiming that they were doing this legitimately.

While this is good advice, at least where I’m from it’s no guarantee of not suffering the legal consequences as if you had.

When I was a kid, I heard two unsubstantiated rumors about McDonald’s food:
- It used kangaroo meat (not sure why this was a claim)
- It mixed in nicotine (to make the food more addictive)
I doubt that either are true, but if the latter were maybe it would answer your question.

My condolences to you. A VPN might help, though I think those are a lot of what they block. My phone (which is my primary method of accessing lemmy) has an always on VPN; some endpoints work for catbox, some don’t.

Everyone to whom I mention lemmy - even some of those to whom I have before - responds by asking about a musician of whom I’d never heard before I started having these conversations.
- Comment on Switching the breaker to offn't position 4 days ago:
I don’t have any inside information, I’ve just read lemmy comments about it, but apparently there are a lot of source IP’s they block. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a reason why, but I’m guessing for either legality or privacy reasons.

Men and women are both stupid. Humanity is stupid. We should all just work together to conquer that. Boy I’m in a grumpy mood this morning.
- Comment on Should I try this? 6 days ago:
I don’t know; I’m not proud of my genitalia, but I sincerely am not ashamed of it. Other than because I might scandalize them, I wouldn’t be embarrassed to send it to a disinterested party. It’s part of me. Some people might enjoy it.
I think not putting it on OnlyFans is mostly because I’m not proud, not because I’m embarrassed. And if I make a mistake sharing it, well, I think an apology is appropriate.

TIL coyotes are monogamous. Also, I agree with you about Drew Gooden, though I’m curious about your choice of pronouns.

My parents are both long gone, but if I had sent either of them a picture of my genitalia (at least as an adult), I would’ve have just followed up with something like “sorry, that was meant for someone else.” Why be embarrassed? People like seeing other people’s genitalia - and boobs. Nothing wrong with it.
