minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·2 months agoSure, but you still have to respect the form of the statement. You have to pretend that something happened to someone else. For example: “How would someone remove a 4 1/2 inch cylinder that’s stuck in an m&m minis tube. Asking for a friend.” Not: “I got my dick stuck in an m&m minis tube, how do I get it out? Asking for a friend.” Everyone knows that you’re talking about yourself, but you’re supposed to pretend that it’s your friend who’s the idiot.
