Consider the following exercise in critical thinking, if you can tear yourselves away from gossiping about each others' love lives long enough to put some actual thought into formulating an answer:

If you had never before encountered a being like yourself before - a human, for example, or however you classify yourself - what would you most want to know about these beings? What are the most important concepts that are fundamental to your existence?

"DTF"?

[ishotyouuu]

u kno

down for a little afternoon delight

dipping the wick

burping the worm in the mole hole

[Wade who the fuck do you think you are, Eric Idle?]

[torrefied]

If this is meant to be an explanation, you're seriously failing at it.

[ishotyouuu]

well maybe ur failing at picking up what im putting down

ever think of that

c'mon ur an adult

im sure u can figure it out

[torrefied]

Unless you're talking about hand-dipped candlemaking, "what you're putting down" is utter nonsense.

[ishotyouuu]

wow now hes getting NAUGHTY

geez dude tone it down there are kids here

[torrefied]

[OK, this + the comment thread with Cashmere = Mello's finally putting it together.]

You're referring to sex.

[ishotyouuu]

HOLY SHIT U GOT IT TELL HIM WHAT HES WON HARV

it only took u 10 minutes dude was it rly that hard

please never let him live this down

[torrefied]

[Since this isn't video, you can't see how Mello is burning with embarrassment - but he is. This seems rather obvious in hindsight, and he feels like he should have been able to guess it sooner.]

When you insist on speaking in absurdities, yes, it's difficult to understand what you're attempting to communicate. That shouldn't be a surprise. Try being more direct.

your wish is my command

[ishotyouuu]

spoken like a guy who foregoes using his dick over using a DICTIONARY u nerd :p

wait are u even a guy its hard to tell

:') yay

[torrefied]

And if I cared about whether you could tell, I would have made this a video broadcast.

[Buuuuut anonymity is much better, in Mr. Paranoid's opinion, so.]

[ishotyouuu]

ur fingers r probably 2 greasy with cheeto dust 2 even hit the button u nerd

oh btw A+ on the hand-dipped candlemaking thing, that was fucking adorable

[He's not even being sarcastic. You are precious, Mello.]

[torrefied]

[Cheetos are emphatically not this boy's snack of choice. He is, however, a giant fucking nerd.]

It was a reasonable guess based on the nonsensical description you provided.

[ishotyouuu]

[Oh, that's right. You guys are more into dramatically eating potato chips.]

dude it wasnt nonsensical if u had even the slightest notion of innuendo

stop blaming me 4 the fact that u totally failed Sex Ed

[torrefied]

[Mello will skip the chips and have a nice bar of chocolate instead.]

I never failed a class. The school I attended didn't really have a Sex Ed class, though. Human anatomy, yes, but more focused on identifying causes of death from wound patterns and such.

[ishotyouuu]

[what the actual fuck is this kid for real?]

OMG IT WAS A JOKE

BE EVEN MORE OF A NERD WHY DONT U JFC

[torrefied]

[He is absolutely for real. This is what happens when you don't keep your science underground grow up in a genius factory that strives to shape its inhabitants after the world's three greatest detectives.

Mello won't deny he's a nerd, though. Everyone knows that to be true.]

I feel like it's also salient to point out that I'm the one who talked Delight into providing condoms for everyone here.

[ishotyouuu]

its not like i need them

im sterile

or is that sterilized

actually im most likely both

i'm so sorry about him /o\

[torrefied]

Are congratulations in order?

wow Mello you're a class act

[ishotyouuu]

not sure they sell "good job on getting cancer" hallmark cards but sure whatevs

he's awful and i'm forever sorry about him /o\ and me, for my lag.

[torrefied]

I'm sure someone's thought of it. Or will, eventually.
