Anything to help the children of Gaza.

Someone is going to feel sore everywhere for a while

I love the euphemism that she "slept with" 583 guys. I mean that's a lotta naps in 6 hours! Takes me at least 20 minutes to drift off.

Some people just built different I guess

OnlyFans star Annie Knight is sharing an update amid her recent hospitalization after sleeping with 583 men in six hours.

It's bizarre that US uses "sleeping with" to mean "had sex with". Readers clearly understand, she uses the word "sex" in her quotes, but the magazine/site insists on using that bizarre euphemism.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

The same turn of phrase exists in e.g. German.

I don't think that that's very uncommon. When one "goes to the bathroom", it's understood that this is a euphemism for urinating or defecating, not just hanging out there.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Agreed. It just seems like a weird editorial decision. Maybe it's because I'm not a regular US reader, or I live in a different country, but it seems to slightly obfuscate what happened.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I am currently using the bathroom... I mean defecating.

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Jfc it’s just as bizarre as every other fucking cultures language on earth but I get it, it’s popular to shit on America while it’s fighting a civil war that was never declared. Easier than realizing this shit show is coming for you next.

I'm not talking about the US, I'm talking about US Magazine. I've seen other US publications use "sex" to refer to sex.

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

The "Us" in "Us Magazine" isn't all caps

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

One fewer word/syllable.

I think they should pare it down further though, and just say 'fucking'

Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

583 men in six hours.

That's about 37 seconds each.

[–] tomatoisaberry@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You're assuming one at a time.

Question is the mean jerk time assuming the dtf is presorted.

[–] who@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

I think that's reasonable when when calculating an average.

It also assumes that men were the only other participants. ;)

“I don’t understand why people have such an issue with it. These guys are just out here living life. They’ve been given an opportunity, and they’re like, ‘F*** it. Like, let’s just do it.’ They’re just having some fun. I think the people that are hating [are] probably just jealous, and their lives are really boring …I mean, the more they hate on me, the more views I get, and the more money I make.”

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

“…I mean, the more they hate on me, the more views I get, and the more money I make.”

I think that pretty much sums up a big part of America's problem right there lol

This is the third name I've seen with a sex with hundreds of men title in the last month or so.

In this a new trend??? In which case ... I hate to be old school but wtf

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

i assure you that group sex is not a new trend. it predates agriculture, civilization, and humanity itself.

those numbers would have been incredibly difficult to organize in the pre-internet era however.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

It is, and there's a handful of people trying to one-up each other.

With great financial success, I might add.

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I think they might be trying for more than just one up

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

With great financial success, I might add.

Hopefully that hospital trip worth it.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago

She's buying a house at 28, so possibly.

Besides, I've needed medical treatment for something that happened at work before.

The next TikTok challenge

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Well alrighty then
