yeah I noticed that after I made the comment. it's an unfortunate placement in the design. it'll either make you look sort of naked or like you shit your pants.

but I still dig the potential capability for the mate in my life to weave me clothing besides a scarf.

I'd probably ask for a hoodie, or a halvsie.

Wow. It's been a decade since I saw this. I knit. And every time it makes the rounds someone sends it to me. Even though it's crotchet. Which is the fast way to irritate a knitter.

But you could knit shorts, right?

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 59d (5 replies)

I've done "boy shorts" before. A lot more work than thongs. But it's really more about people not knowing the difference between knitting and crocheting. It's like giving someone who loves metal a Winger CD but it turns out they are a blacksmith.

Is that the boy shorts or the thong? Never seen any of those in a knitted version, so I have no idea what to expect

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 59d (3 replies)

Boy shorts. Thongs have a very different geometry.

This isn't a heat wave, this is a sweltering heat wave.

I used a translation app in case anyone else was struggling with the German

dangrousperson@feddit.org · 6 pts · 59d

Its a pun that doesn't translate well

Zu warm = too warm

Zuwarmi sounds like tsunami in German

=> This isn't a heat wave its a heat tsunami

Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 59d (2 replies)

Your app translates "zuwarmi" as "sweltering heat wave"?

Its a pun on tsunami, and not a real word

robocall@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 59d (1 reply)

I guess the app did pretty well given the fake word.

Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 58d

Whats weird is that it neither tried to do a literal translation nor to preserve the pun, when "too-warm-i", the literal translation, still is at least pun-adjecant

ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 59d (1 reply)

It isn’t just too warm…

It’s TSUWARMI

Sensory nightmare tbh

rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 59d

I have pretty thick body hair. For me wearing this would be a sensory nightmare, and it would also make my butt look like Nancy.
