I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.
For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.
For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!
Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.
Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.
Or just don't give a fuck.
Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text "nothing says I love you quite like fisting". Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read "I have 5 stars on youporn" with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I've ever heard. Most of the profs "loved" me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.
Not the complement you think it is.
It wasn't really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn't giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess?
She could replace my right hand any day.
Yeah I didn't think about that.
