Oh man you had me until I read the page name.

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 95 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You had me until I read this comment.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It took me two or three more tries after reading this comment.

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

It took me until coming back the next day

[–] knightmare1147@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I had to double check after I read this comment.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 6 days ago

This is like that "OneTimeIDreamt" account on Tumblr(?maybe).

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 days ago

Yep i definitely missed the basketball reference.

Really wondering like did they just not dry afterwards?

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 43 points 6 days ago

Whoever wrote that, they knew exactly what they were doing.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 44 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Of course I do. What do you think the ball washers on a golf course are for?

[–] Hope@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think basketballs fit in those /s.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Try the ones at the bowling alley. They might fit there.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't know if those wash so much as just shine(o) the ball(o)

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago

Slips into the basketball

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago

His ball of choice is likely a bit smaller than a golf ball. Should fit fine. Might need a stepladder.

Wasn't that how some guy earned a Darwin award?

Well you gotta rinse your balls off afterwards. And bouncing your balls a few times outside first might help. Maybe let some other people play with your balls too. Guys, little girls, whoever wants to, really.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I will take my dirty balls to playgrounds, so kids can play with them. They really enjoy them, as I keep them nice and round

No need to wash them, if they get dirty anyway

Well, you certainly want to wash them if you let kids lick your balls, but otherwise agreed.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ew! People that are these bad at taking care of their balls should be parted from them.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Unless it's covered in shit, why would you wash it?

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean who’s gonna smell your balls anytime soon?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The neighbors dog is usually pretty interested.

Just smear a little peanut butter on your balls, and the neighbor's dog will lick them thoroughly.

In the advanced class, we use orbital sanders.

Sometimes I'm attracted to men. Sometimes I read this shit. There is no overlap.

[–] al4s@feddit.org 24 points 5 days ago

Have you seen the subreddit in the screenshot?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Reminds me of an old joke about a golfer who was so dumb he broke his leg when he fell off the ball washer.

My hands after touching the ball... Never again
