This is how tumbleweeds disperse their seeds. The dried out bush breaks off from its roots, travelling along barren landscapes, far and wide so seedlings can flourish without competition from other plants. The live plant is called a Russian thistle. v.redd.it/ogyj4rbhuxo71

The octopus soup doesn’t boost libido: Recap of 90DFBT90D S05E04

Thanks for your patience on this one! I was sick.

Mike figures out that by outside baggage claim Ximena meant outside, so he takes his bags for a walk and finds her, wearing the classiest pair of stilts to meet feet outside of a voguing competition.

Mike: (Stares.)

Ximena: (Blinks.)

β€œI’m starting to think this language thing is going to be an issue,” Mike admits.

Ximena has been to the Caleb School of Greetings, and notes that Mike is pretty adorable, but shorter than she expected.

β€œWhen he said he looked like an elf, I thought Legolas,” Ximena explains. β€œI did not realize he meant in a workshop building toys.”

After a quiet cab ride, their silence is interrupted by a call that Mike deletes a bit too quickly. No one keeps their phone that tidy. Ximena lobs a few suspicious questions in his direction, which makes Mike happy, since he sees it as a woman rubbing her armpits on his head before the other she-people rally to claim his thoughts.

β€œYes. The questions about this phone call are very romantic. Very.” Jasmine wants to remind you she’s not fucking around. β€œHe should not have a phone, or eyes.”

They stop for lunch, and it’s clear that Mike’s understanding of Spanish is limited to what he could glean from Legos instructions.

β€œThis is a drink!” Mike begins, wondering if the waitress lied to him about the promised alcohol content. β€œTraffic New York eat tired, yes, work.”

β€œYes. Te amo,” Ximena falls back on old ideas, while growing increasingly uncomfortable with Mike and his zero preguntas and no habla of the espanol, and his weird fish pucker that suggests his interest in another kiss. They agree that solutions are for assholes, so they just stare into the void like the mom from Get Out stirred them into her creepcup and then ordered them to sink.

β€œI just know I’m going to wake up with an old man inside of me,” Ximena says as she hunts for a camera flash.

Mike’s first ever 37 hour day continues, as lunch is chased by the surprising news that he’ll be meeting Ximena’s entire extended family.

β€œI think her second cousins are even here,” Mike’s never been more grateful for the language barrier. β€œI didn’t bring enough toys. Even if everyone only takes one marker.”

Juan and Harold are nervous at first, but both are super happy to meet Mike.

β€œHe’s like a dad, but there’s no bars,” Harold has thoughts.

Despite the sweetness of this intro, those rascals at 90DF can’t resist zooming in on Mike’s arm around Harold, like he’s Woody All

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
