[ Today must be a day for shitposting, because Kanan's got one too. ]

You know, the text thing doesn't usually give me much trouble. The devices have a pretty good voice-to-text and text-to-voice function on them. Unless you're typing a bunch of abbreviations, they can be hard to parse sometimes. The letter "y" seems to be either "why" or "yes" depending on the context, for instance. Still haven't figured out "L O L".

I even get some of those... what do you call them, "emojis". The device will tell me if there's a little smiling face or a finger pointing to the left or whatever, that's fine. Right up until there's a bunch of... vegetables? I don't know a lot of the vegetables on this planet. What even is an "eggplant", and what is "eggplant sweatdrops"? Are you watering your vegetable garden?

-- ah, but the eggplant thing means someone wants your dick. Or maybe just dick in general. It's the desire for the general concept of a dick.

[kanyounot]

Yeah that... is good to know. I guess.

And peaches are butts? At least I've eaten a peach. Those taste good. I still can't quite picture an eggplant, even knowing that it's apparently shaped like a dick.

[burlyboy]

Shaped like a dick that'll split you in two! It's just this, uh - it's a long purple fruit that's kinda bulb-y at the end, and on top there's a green stem. You should try it sometime! It's good. It's, uh... earthy, and savory, kind of like --

[burlyboy]

Heh, heh, heh.

[kanyounot]

....Riiiiiight.

[ Is it inappropriate to say he doesn't swing that way for a vegetable? ]

[burlyboy]

Listen, if you're gonna bring up the sex emojis, you're gonna get a jizz joke or two.

[kanyounot]

I know, I brought it on myself, no matter how unknowingly. I should've figured it was a sex thing, given how much the teenagers around here seem to use it.

[burlyboy]

[ Magnus snickers. ]

Most things you don't understand around here wind up being sex things.

[kanyounot]

There are worse things for people to obsess over, I guess.

[burlyboy]

Yeah, like spiders.

[kanyounot]

I was thinking more along the lines of "genocide", but yeah, sure, spiders too.

[burlyboy]

Why is genocide the first thing to come to your mind when we're talkin' about what people are obsessing over? Kinda taking it from one to a hundred there, pal.

[kanyounot]

Guess it says a bit about where I come from that there are people who do obsess over genocide. Enough that it's a concern.

[burlyboy]

I mean, I'm sure there are folks like that where I'm from too. Doesn't mean I'm thinking about that all the time.

[kanyounot]

Were you fighting a war against an oppressive and genocidal government where you were from?

[burlyboy]

Not the genocidal bit.

[kanyounot]

I'm glad, then.

[ He means that. ]
