We can watch them on your phone.

Weird seeing a post from her, I was just watching an old Trevor Moore show with her on it.

Yeah but now I know all about dehumidifiers, what are you bringing to the relationship, Blair?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Desicant dehumidier.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

fr, like ok your loss if you don't want to see this lip reading of a coach absolutely losing it on the game official and how it was pieced together from three different angles

maybe bad example, my ex loved that shit and still sends it to me

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

The way they react its almost like they don't care about the drop site massacre of Isstvan V!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your information is out of date. It's actually so much worse now: we've got bros out here trying to get people to look at their slopgen videos. 😒

Looks to be like you're barely a day old

[–] duhlieluh@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its true, getting ready to nuke my reddit

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Congrats. I remember being where you are now.

Not sure what your plan is, but I used PowerDeleteSuite to spoil my reddit comments.

[–] duhlieluh@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

thanks! i planned on using something exactly like this

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

It's only 37 minutes of technical off-road driving get over it

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

but what if that video is about a master craftsman transforming an old book into a genuine masterpiece? it's only 2h 🥺

( link for those who would watch it with me on my phone )

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I love Four Keys! So I'd be able to get out of watching it on your phone by saying I've seen the whole series! =D

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

but have you watched nerdforge book making yet? (makes custom novels to present to the author in this video)

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

I have!

I'm actually reading The Way of Kings right now! XD

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

that just sounds like a challenge to find something you haven't seen >:)

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 95 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

99% of marriage is sharing stuff you find and 1% asking if they heard you.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (5 children)

you clearly have not met my grandparents with hearing issues. it's like 50% "HUH?" and another 50% "how do you expect to hear me if you don't put your hearing aids in??"

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But when you take them out your ears are so COMFY and nobody YELLS at you and you can’t hear your husband’s STUPID looping tiktok videos playing from the next room.

Source: hearing aid haver who sometimes takes them out at home or streams podcasts through them and just communicates through pantomime and lipreading despite my husband’s patient exasperation.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you can use hearing aids as normal earphones? :0 that's so neat!

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yup! They have tons of cool features nowadays. It’s a lot like wearing discreet earbuds with really good noise cancellation capabilities. They cost so fucking much though, and in the US a lot of insurance providers don’t cover them or will only cover a small percentage of the cost.

Married 34 years. Can't say I've ever been forced to watch videos on my husband's phone. Although if he's splitting a gut, I usually ask if I can watch it. Married doesn't mean attached at the hip or phone.

[–] aeiou_ckr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What is “splitting a gut”?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Committing sepuku. It's the wife's responsibility to stitch a man back up after doing this.

[–] traceur301@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

wow can't even get out of husband stitching duty through seppuku? expectations are so high

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Laughing so hard as to cause abdominal cramping

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Uncontrollable laughter

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

My wife interrupts me, then makes me wait for the video to loop around to the start so she can make me watch it on her phone. Often it doesn't start correctly, so she has to try again. Invariably, by the time it actually plays for me, it doesn't live up to the effort that went into showing it.

If I want to share a video with her, I just send her the link via text like a human being. She can watch it when she wants to, or just ignore it.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Tell her to swipe to the next video, then swipe back. That will cause it to restart. Learning this little trick saved my marriage, and my life, because if I had to listen to that stupid fucking music slathered all over every damn video even just 1 more time, I was going to either have a fatal stroke, or go on a murder spree.

It's okay, the trade deal is YouTube videos on his phone, tiktoks from hers.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I purposely never joined Instagram. No one warned me about the amount of Instagram I would be shown after marriage. Even worse: the amount of abrasive and caustic noise pollution I have to hear next to me in bed from 5 second snippets of people's concert/wedding video shorts on Instagram.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (3 children)

My husband is constantly watching tiktok. The 5 second looping identical dumbshit music clips with screeching car noises on top will drive me to violence some day.

I don't get it.
She wants to get married, but apparently men constantly show videos on their phones, which she doesn't want.

Is that a thing? Maybe I don't know enough guys? The only person insisting on showing me videos on their phone is my wife so...

Or maybe she thinks it's an SO thing. I guess that would make more sense, now I think about it. For sure, my wife is the only person I tolerate this nonsense from.

[–] WalterLego@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's an exaggeration. A joke. People often force their favorite videos on other people and it sucks.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Two minutes in: Wait, wait! It's about to get good!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Counterpoint: I don't think it sucks

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah same. We love showing each other videos, but to be fair we're the attached at the hip type.

[–] WalterLego@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago

I also love sharing videos. But this is about the person that's absolutely obnoxious about it and keeps showing you videos without realizing that the other person isn't really interested.

I usually send the videos I want to share via messenger app. Then everybody can watch them when they want. And from their reaction I can read what kind of videos we both appreciate.

I do share videos in person, mostly when they are absolutely on topic and showing the video does not interrupt the conversation.

My wife actually agreed to watch the new Naked Gun movie with me and managed to restrain the urge roll her eyes through most of it. That's how I know I am loved. 🥰

I must be a woman because I do not force people to watch YouTube videos 💖💖💖

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

As someone married to a woman I can tell you that I’ve got a strong data signal that it’s not necessarily your gender keeping you from forcing people to watch videos.
