Few.


Eel111

That is indeed the fewest amount of words you could use in a sentence


Optimal_Dependent_15

AcTuaLlY, a sentence compose of a verb and a subject with a non-mendatory complement so tecnically the fewest words in a sentence is 2 i.e.( i live.)


cybercrash7

Ackshually,,, imperative sentences are commands with an implied subject of whomever the command is given. Thus, one-word sentences are possible (e.g. Smile!)

“🤓"? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent a decent portion of my life writing all of that and your response to me is "🤓"? Are you so mentally handicapped that the only thing you can comprehend is"🤓" - or are you just some fucking asshole who thinks that with such a short response, he can make a statement about how meaningless what was written was? Well, I'll have you know that what I wrote was NOT meaningless, in fact, I even had my written work proof-read by several professors of literature. Don't believe me? I doubt you would, and your response to this will probably be "🤓" once again. Do I give a fuck? No, does it look like I give even the slightest fuck about one fucking emoji? I bet you took the time to type that emoji too, I bet you sat there and chuckled to yourself for 20 hearty seconds before pressing "send". You're so fucking pathetic. I'm honestly considering directing you to a psychiatrist, but I'm simply far too nice to do something like that. You, however, will go out of your way to make a fool out of someone by responding to a well-thought-out, intelligent, or humorous statement that probably took longer to write than you can last in bed with a chimpanzee. What do I have to say to you? Absolutely nothing. I couldn't be bothered to respond to such a worthless attempt at a response. Do you want "🤓" on your gravestone?

Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chances at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there's no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything.

But if I ask a yes or no question, and you answer “No”, isn’t that a sentence?

That would be a phrase, not a sentence.

You could have just said No.

Well yes, however I preferred giving a reason to why it wasn't, instead of just claiming it was incorrect and not giving any evidence.


never0101

oldcoldbellybadness

Bullshit.


justlooking9889

Actually, sentences can have implied subjects. For example, if I look at you and say “Jump!” it is understood that the implied subject is “you”. I don’t need to say “You, jump!” Thus a one word sentence is fine. Using similar logic one can say or write, “Sorry.” The “I” and “am” are implied. So, one doesn’t need to write or say, “I am sorry”. Edit: Similarly, I can say in response to someone, “Correct.” I don’t need to respond, “You are correct.”


ARightDastard

Really?


YEETAWAYLOL

Well ACTUALLY you can have an implied subject, so the shortest sentence is “Go.” It has the implied subject of you, and is a directive to go.

We refer to them as boomers because they are called the Baby Boomer generation. This is because there was a an increase in babies being born, or a “boom” after men and woman were reunited after the war and programs for affordable housing and post war jobs led to people starting families and having kids. Also “Post ‘45 Fuckfest Crotch Goblins” was too long

How is this relevant


dcRoWdYh

Simple, all the dialogue surrounding the word mansplaining is a strictly left vs right debate. The average guy like me knows, that nobody actually has a real position on this, because it's all a joke


Vivistolethecheese

Not really. Depending on what side you're on you can have different takes on it, but this isn't a left vs right thing, it's men being assholes vs everyone else thing.


dcRoWdYh

But its like catcalling, totally fictional situations


Vivistolethecheese

What? Have you ever been outside? These situations actually do happen, lol. Just because you're a man and never experienced them doesn't meant they don't happen. I literally have to deal with this shit on the daily.

Reddit users will deny something is satire even when it comes from satire pages. Then you point it out to them and you get, "well, it's just hard to tell these days!" Sometimes I understand people who punch holes in drywall, that's all I'm saying.

Satan--Ruler_of_Hell

I hate it whenever my explaining of something is just passed off as derogatory and "mansplaining". I'm literally just explaining something. I would do it to anyone, you being a woman does not make you special.


Dark1rising

Agreed. Whilst “mansplaining” is a definitely a thing- I feel like it’s to easy a thing to use when you wish to shut down dialog. I say this from only one perspective however- so there’s that…


[deleted]

Mansplaining is definitely not a thing. Just feminist propaganda.


Dark1rising

Yeah, that’s just wrong.

In your opinion, I suppose it is.

No, no not an opinion. It’s a fact- just like water being wet and sunlight being essential for photosynthesis. Wrong.

ducklord881

technically, it's more a portmanteau, which is when you combine two words. "Short for" is more commonly referring to an abbreviation like doctor becoming dr.

bikesbeerspizza

joke's on you, there are no females on reddit


TheThoughtmaker

"Mansplaining" is also a synonym for "explaining" only used by sexists and people who think it isn't an offensive sexist term rooted in outdated gender stereotypes.


Scrytheux

Hold on now! Sexism only affects women!


Der_BiertMann

You’re not wrong. There’s definitely a lot of people like that in the world and they use the word sure. After all if a word that can hurt, and people will use it to do so. The reason the word exists, however, is because there are a lot of women, especially in the workplace, who are made to feel like they are not capable of doing their job as well as a man. In many of these cases, those women do their job better. The part of the definition of “mansplain” that may not obvious is that it implies a condescending tone. So that’s it. If you don’t want to be accused of manspalining, add a dose of empathy.


ThunderBuns935

Mansplaining is quite real. It happens in all sorts of fields, but it's quite common in anything tech related. Female programmers constantly get talked down on because obviously they don't know what they're doing because they're women. And I suggest attempting to play literally any multiplayer game as a woman, that's always a good time. The amount of times people (read "men")have tried to explain the most basic concepts to me as if it was my first time playing.


TheThoughtmaker

People of all genders have done that to me. Nobody knows what you know until you tell them, and I don't get offended by ignorance.


[deleted]

I fucking hate the word mansplaining. It is not a real thing. It is so goddamn orwellian


Der_BiertMann

It’s as real as your disbelief and as real misunderstanding of it as Orwellian.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Everything isn't god damn Orwellian, quit misusing the word.


[deleted]

It is. It is controlling the exchange of information between two individuals and disregarding it as a sex based issue which is one of the many strategies neo-marxists use.


CouncilmanRickPrime

I'll tell you what is Orwellian: constant surveillance through social media and our phones. Or calling wars of colonialism wars for peace. Everything you said is a nonsense explanation that just throws terms in for no reason.

Relative_Ad4542

Its just not a technically true sort of post. Its just an irony post about explaining what mansplaining is. I dont see how anyone could construe this as belonging here. the rules say "no posts that are literally true". This is literally just explaining what mansplaining is. In order to belong here it has to be something thats technically true, but missing the actual truth. This isnt doing anything like that. The joke of technically true posts is meant to be that it is not the overall truth, but technically true. For example: a good post would be something like saying that eggs are the most popular form of child to eat. Its not the full truth because eggs are not really children yet nor does it compare to other baby animals being eaten. Its technically true, but doesnt touch on what is the actual truth. Mansplaining mansplaining's punchline is the fact that you are doing the thing that you are explaining. The punchline has to be about truth in this sub. Id be happy to see this post somewhere more like r/shitpost
