Icks me out, but I can’t find any moral fault.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 13 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I definitely get why it picks you out.imagine banging your cousin without one of your parents watching while you do it. Gross

can you explain this to a brit

[–] flonflons@lemmy.world 125 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I didn't know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I didn't get high, I didn't get laid... goddamn, how much of life did I miss?

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

It's never too late to follow your dreams!

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I was supposed to get laid with my cousin, but then I didn't get high

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm uninvited to gatherings, and I know why.

Did you at least sneak a smirnoff ice out of the basement and share it on your walk?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago
[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

You have their number? Fuckin' get after it

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Wait, seriously? You guys didn't realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on "the walk"? That's hilarious.

The Royal family

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They appear to be from Birmingham.

Not the UK one.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Does distinguishing country actually matter here?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

The American Birmingham is in Alabama, which has a certain reputation relevant to this meme.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

So does the original Birmingham, which is why they said that.

Yes, in the UK you have to say “bap tide”

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

So, they should know?

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.

It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.

Hope this helps! Go with God.

[–] Hamartia@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is most instructional in this regard.

So you're saying she did nothing wrong?

That fivehead is on point.

It explains much

I understand the circumstances, but maybe next time if you wait until you have your dominant hand available for typing, your post might be a little bit more coherent.

I actually know someone who has a baby with their cousin, who is a minor celebrity.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well you try reigning for 70 years without smoking 50 B&H a day.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You could tell us and then both would be minor celebrities. 🤌🏼

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

uh what if he means the celebrity is a minor?

yikes, cue banjos

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

that's all it takes to make a baby into a minor celebrity? what's it take to be a major celebrity, parents that are siblings?

pfft
