Remember when the broccoli farmers dumped a ton of broccoli in front of the White House?

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I needed to know as well. I found this:

George H. W. Bush broccoli comments - Wikipedia

https://share.google/bjHl21VmFgvPi3dAx

He banned broccoli from Air Force One, which prompted California broccoli growers to send several truckloads of the vegetable to the White House, most of which was donated to a food bank.

No child of mine will have fine motor skills or hand and eye coordination!

There is also a fidget spinner designed to give the baby ADHD!

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 days ago (6 children)

You can’t give people ADHD, it’s not something you cook up.

I see the joke comprehension dependency wasn't injected :P

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I caught ADHD from my friend in highschool when we were making out in the storeroom before art class.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@piefed.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I sure caught cooties from a few cuties in highschool

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it not cooties? Cuties is a group of cute things.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 days ago

Also a brand of citrus fruit

Through trauma, all things are possible

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think they confused ADHD with autism.

I've heard of those referred to as "busy boards"

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 97 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

No they're a Chinese plot to have every child become sleeper agents who will then unlock your front door so a Chinese soldier can come in and poop in your toilet, move your salt and pepper shaker and mess with your pillow configuration on your bed.

My honest, hard-working American feng shui!

Does it come with a Covert Companion?

[–] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Baby's first Master Lock.

Gotta teach them young that Master Lock is shit.

"Click out of one..."

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 38 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Where's the pill bottle cap and a BIC lighter? Those are skills kids born today will need when they grow up. Maybe like a bubble wrap sheet but with beer can ring pulls instead?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I want to know the origin... Did someone get sick of others stealing their lighter lol?

[–] Mad_Punda@feddit.org 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Seems likely to me that someone came up with that pun and also had too much time and some concrete.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

So you're saying it could be anyone from DIWHY?

I hope they make a LOT of noise too, otherwise I'm not getting one.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The noise-making toys have a tendency to go "missing" in our house.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 9 points 3 days ago

If you hate your friends partner, buy their kid a drum set 😉

I went to Montessori and it was awesome. I got tons of memories from there even though I wasn't more than 4-6 years old, which is really saying something.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@piefed.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is that when they lure kids into the basement by promising them wine and then build a brick wall around them?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No, you're thinking of "the cask of amontillado". Montessori was an old monastery south of Rome, which was destroyed by ravaging children in WWII.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago

Give one to a husky owner and tell them it's a dog toy 😏
