Mr. Hands has entered the chat.

Everything I know about Mr. Hands was deduced from context, and I’m going to keep it that way.

That's for the best.

I am unfortunate as I had no context and did not see these warnings in time.

Is there anything else that could satisfy the rumblings?

What are these comments, I thought this was about the "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" idiom

I am too scared to ask

Never heard that idiom before, in my language we say "I'm hungry like a wolf". Horse eating wasn't totally uncommon either though.

No you're right, it is, the commenters here are just too freaky

He will eat the horse, right? That's the "joke"?

Psionicsickness@reddthat.com · 11 pts · 241d (2 replies)

I think it’s that he won’t. The horse is too majestic.

And delicious

a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 239d

And dignified.

Gobbling on a horse cock is not as nutritious as it may seem.

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 241d (2 replies)

I thought the point of the idiom is horses being large and you are so hungry you could eat a (whole) horse

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social · 3 pts · 241d (1 reply)

I feel like that can't be the whole story because then you could just say cow, which are even bigger

I guess. Horse meat is not eaten as often. It's good though
