Is that cup tied to the pump? Is it a public cup? I think I'm going to be sick.

I personally wear a ninja turtle mask everywhere I go, but I’m down to share it.

Yes. Before germ theory and the 1918 pandemic, this was a common thing.

Find some peace by thinking the caption is wrong. I can't see her DRINKING. She looks like a model! She was only posing with the pump.

Is the kid doing a super rude gesture or just a weird gesture?

MeatPilot@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 1y

I vote he is doing the eat a pussy gesture. I can almost hear the "lap lap lap" sound.

He wants to drink from her cup, if you catch my drift.
