You're not the first, and you weren't the last.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Only because im the end of my bloodline

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago

Sounds like your uncle has a secret about your parents!

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

But, did he ever get busy in a Burger King bathroom?

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 130 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Uncles aren't in your blood line, but maybe he knows something about your Grandpa

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 100 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Uncles aren’t in your blood line...

He might be dropping two new pieces of information.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

His uncle jacked off in an Arby’s, and his mom scraped it up off the ground.

[–] Stiggyman@ani.social 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are they not??! In my country an uncle or aunt is your parents brothers or sisters

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Your bloodline is your ancestors and descendants. Aunts and Uncles are blood relatives, but not on your bloodline.

Generally not bloodline. I have a few friends who donated embryos to their siblings, but they are more outlier than norm.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Huh? In what way aren’t they part of your bloodline? Unless you’re talking about uncles that are married into the family, but otherwise they’re literally blood relatives.

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

maybe not in your family tree...

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can’t find any definition that says that. Where are you finding that definition. Bloodline is relatives by blood, uncles are relatives by blood, hence why uncles could gain the throne in any bloodline inheritance society.

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

A bloodline is a direct line of descent or pedigree, representing a sequence of ancestors from which a person or animal inherits characteristics.

There I took 30 seconds to find the actual definition.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"all the members of a family group of people or animals over a period of time, especially when considering their shared family characteristics: " - cambridge

"(usually of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain." (what you're talking about, but you're reading it the wrong direction) or " all the members of a family group over generations, esp regarding characteristics common to that group; pedigree" - dictionary.com

"A person's bloodline is their ancestors over many generations, and the characteristics they are believed to have inherited from these ancestors. You can also use bloodline to refer to the ancestors of animals such as racehorses." - Collins

"1. (usu. of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain." "2. ancestry; family." - Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary

"One's ancestors or their character or one's ancestral derivation:" - The American Heritage® Roget's Thesaurus

"the descendants of one individual; "his entire lineage has been warriors"" - WordNet 3.0

The problem here comes from the fact that you are reading your definition and going upwards, rather than starting at the top and going downwards. Line of descent goes downwards. It's literally in the definition you gave. So even your parents aren't in your line of descent, because that's going up. But if you are talking about a bloodline from your grandparents then yes, you and your uncle are in that bloodline. cause that's what line of descent is.

so no.. "Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood." is incorrect. If you are counting mother and father and their mothers and fathers all the way back then yes, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline.

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago

I agree, you and your uncle are in grandpas bloodline. But uncle is not in YOUR bloodline, and grandpa wasn’t in the OP discussion.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

TIL, double checked an it’s true. I never would have thought it had to be a direct line. My uncle has more of a DNA match to me than my great great grandparents. Weird word.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

they're using it wrong. They're going upwards with it when bloodline is a line of descent. So your parents are not in your bloodline, but of course that's not what we were talking about since they directly said "Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood." Since they're including grandparents to infinity, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline. You can read my comment for more..

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Good point!

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

Both you and your uncle are in your Grandpas bloodline.

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

this relation is not symmetrical

[–] Muehe@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

True, but colloquially your grandparents bloodline is still (one of) your bloodline(s). So you share a bloodline with your uncles and aunts.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe his uncle is his bio dad

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 24 points 1 week ago

Uncle had a goonsesh in Arby's with OOP's dad

[–] rslogix89@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, how did you think the Horsey Sauce was made?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] rslogix89@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] snooggums@piefed.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It is horsey sauce, not employee sauce.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

what happens when they employ horses?

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Probably this

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dining room or back of house?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 6 days ago

Probably some lame technicality like doing it in the bathroom.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Directly onto the chicken patties.
