I took a picture of a sparrow once. They’re called Spatz in German. In my local dialect, they’re called "Spotz" ʃpɔts in english it’s pronounced like "shpowts" - which is one of the words used for penis as well. Picture in German is Bild and in the local dialect it’s "büdl" ˈbʏdl in English pronounced like "boodle" (you have no pronunciation for ü).

So in my local dialect, a sparrow-pic is pronounced the same as a dick-pick. Spotzbüdl - ʃpɔtsˈbʏdl - spowthsboodle

I've never sent a dick pic and I don't know if my anxiety/insecurity would allow me to send one even if it was requested.

I can't fathom just sending one to a stranger without being asked for it.

I've gotten some on Discord. Men don't send unsolicited dick pics to show off, they show them to harass. I only get them from people I'm not paying attention to. Like if someone messages me and I stop messaging back that's typically when I get them. You can't fathom doing it because you're (hopefully lol) not someone who would sexually harass people. They don't feel shame for doing it. To them, getting any sort of reaction to it is the goal. Telling them "you're disgusting" would be giving them attention and something they want.

PSA: When you get unsolicited dick pics, block and report. Don't respond. Don't reward their behavior. If you'd like to go on some crusade to tell their mother (I've seen some people do that lol) that's another topic, but never reply to them directly by saying anything.

It sounds like my experience is a little different from this woman's though, I typically get them after I stop answering. I haven't ever gotten one in the first message. But the "uh, hello??" part tracks with what I've seen. It's attention seeking behavior.

This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

Doesn't happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.

Damn, your penis is detachable? I hope they send it back once they're done.

Umm technically by ignoring them she is the opposite of a slut. Just saying.

Not that there's anything wrong with sluts. I'm very slutty myself.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you're a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don't notice me therefore you're a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you're hot so you're a slut. Doesn't have anything to do with what sex the "slut" may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

[–] ExhibiCat@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Good point. It's just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes

The only dick pix I want to see are dik-dik pix.

How can you tell a male dik-dik from a female dik-dik?

Look for the dik-dik dick

So, you're not sending noods then?

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (8 children)

I do like to send noods (recipe is adding salt & herbs to the noodle water, then adding cheese to herb noodles)

That's hot.

For my spotted dick recipe, I like to let the raisins rehydrate in a bowl of lemon juice. Really gives the flavor a little extra pop of brightness.

I still have never received an unsolicited dick pic. I’ve never struggled to get men to like me though… I wonder what it is about me that tells them not to bother with the picture.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's been 15 minutes since you posted, how many did you receive until now?

Edit: here's something even better. A dik dik pic.
