A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I assume it's for Large, Regular, Small

S is for Super, not small. Light, regular, super, etc. It's for flow, not for size.

I always found "super" pretty funny.
"So how's your period flow?"
"Super!"
Kinda expect the next option to be "magnificent", "über" or something like that.

Is it an american thing? Pretty sure in Australia it's "heavy".

Super would be weird, as you say.

Super absorbancy or something along those lines.

It explains the absorber rather than the flow. I've mostly stared at pads my life, but it's the same wording

Just for context I'm Danish, so it's not just an American thing

I love people coming in, apparently with no knowledge, and giving an incorrect answer. This wouldn't even have been hard to look up, but you just couldn't help but assume you were correct, just like the person in the OP.

I think it's more fun to see people's creative answers and get a good chuckle.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

It is funny, just like the OP. Part of why it's funny is that people can be so wrong but assume they're right enough that they want to share with the world. I'm glad they do, but it's crazy to me.

They said "I ASSUME" for a reason, they didn't said to be right, they said they assume, it's so fucking easy to just ignore the comments that say "i assume XYZ" if you want an answer

It's good we have you here. Your ability to use context clues really came in clutch. Don't have to worry about finding someone who uses these alien devices to explain them.

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I kind of needed it cause i never hear "regular" as a size, only "medium", so i was hung up on the R

[–] erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 days ago

It is incorrect. Light, regular, super, not large, regular, small.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Why make a random guess if you don't know? 😅 you can just wait for a woman who knows to give the actual answer lol

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I think L is Light
