The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 83 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

[–] PanGodofPanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand why you'd send them to eachother if you both know the other doesn't like them. Like, what? I'm happily married and me and my partner send videos specifically because we either think the other would like them or want to make the other groan at a bad joke.

And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 16 points 1 month ago

Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure you’re making this up.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're right, women don't exist lol

Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.

I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel "Technological Connections")

Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it! 

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

It’s a good video though.

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D

[–] megaman@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

A female friend of mine says Technology Connections is "boy coded". Well, she is missing out

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am female and disagree with your friends. I love Technology Connections and Alec.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It's weird that people are trying to gender things like this

There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.

He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don't utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what's being run through.

I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc

[–] Nickelalloy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

"Babe, a follow up on the dishwasher just dropped"

Well i know what we will watch this weekend.

I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.

I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.

Women: Men don't know how to share their feelings.

Men: share feelings indirectly through content because it allows them to place some distance between themselves and their fear of criticism for having insecurities

Women: Gawd, I don't care!

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 18 points 1 month ago (5 children)

The woman in this scenario is still sitting and watching the video though?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Not sure if the makers of this meme considered this but the woman in there is an escort/partner robot, she is designed to please him (who is also a, more advance, android himself)

What’s masculine about it? My wife does this to me all the time.

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The number of women in my environment who do this to me is fucking ridiculous.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 11 points 1 month ago

Maybe it’s because you’re in their environment!

I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.

The feminine urge to watch your boyfriend's videos that you won't find funny or entertaining

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 8 points 1 month ago
[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Started watching YouTube with my SO but unlike OP found content we could both enjoy.

It ruined my recommendations and I'm ok with that.

Fun story... We were watching something together and I dozed off holding the remote. Woke up 10 minutes later and YT had auto played some car restoration video. "Sorry, I must've been tired. I'll find something else." "DON'T YOU DARE. I'm invested now. I have to see if they're gonna get this thing to start!"

My penguin.

Why is this gendered? This is just a thing annoying people do to other people.

Content of the post aside, this is one of the worst types of guys on the internet. Celebrity avatar posting celebrity pictures. Get a personality, man
