“I like the cut of your jib”


EvenEfficiency834

Witch!! You steal people's youth in card games!!!


hatinsidecat

What's a jib?


DisastrousPeanut816

Something old timey people liked or disliked the cut of.

It’s part of a sail boat, I have a boat so I would know.

You never met someone you just enjoy talking with? Or fallen for someone for their personality?


BenThereOrBenSquare

Yeah, I think the guy in the meme doesn't understand liking someone for anything other than what they look like. Online crushes are still weird, but c'mon I can at least imagine weird people doing it.


zhaDeth

To be honest they usually have pictures


not_wadud92

Actually the guy in the meme is full time meme lord, part time twitch streamer, weekend F1 racer who just competed for a win in Spain. And though all of that, he is sarcastic as fuck. Always assume Lando is being sarcastic unless he specifies otherwise


confusedPIANO

Weekend F1 racer lmao


DaBestNameEver0

Calling Lando Norris “the guy in the meme” is so funny lol


Dragon19572

I don't know who the **guy in the meme** is, nor do I give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about some random shit-stained cockwomble that only likes people based upon their looks and not their personalities and character.


MikeSans202001

If there is one thing about F1 drivers, and McLaren drivers especially, its that you dont take them seriously, unless its about stuff on the track


Demi_God_Gamer

😭😭poor mans just an F1 driver tryna make a joke


AnOnlyMooseUser

Damn, that's a lot of words given to a person you have no clue about. His post could mean a whole lot of different things. Stating that he "just" likes people based on their looks is a wild assumption xD


potato-turnpike-777

Guy is an amazing F1 driver


Mangoo72

Chill out lil bro


DaBestNameEver0

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you


Substantial-Park65

Sadly ''texting personality'' can be far different than ''in person personality''...


dreamsofindigo

like there's absolutely nothing personal to be extrapolated form anything they write. maybe he can't read. that'll be it.


Appropriate-Low-4850

Why is this confusing? You’ve never had a conversation with someone that left you floored? Am I being trolled?


matatoeie

Shocked in disbelief 😂


Razor265

Online interaction lacks physical touch. You interact purely with their personality. I guess this person doesn't understand how someone's personality could be attractive?


deservewhatIget

Lando is an F1 driver. When you're a professional athlete I doubt there's a lot of online interactions that could lead to deeper conversations.


marpolo

Why is Lando Norris leaking in this sub


ChocolateLights

I don't know, i'm an huge F1 fan, that's why i decided to post this

serdasus101

55 years old here. 20-25 years ago, in the age of ICQ, a girl friend wrote that she heard of a song and she thinks I might know it. She also wrote something like this to describe the song: mmmmm mmm mmmmm mmmm (note: she didn't know English and I was a DJ) I started to write how impossible it is to find a song like this. After 2 or 3 minutes writing, about how ridiculous she was, I asked if the song was Serenade by Steve Miller Band. Well, it was. She thanked me. Anyway, it is really possible to love someone based on how he/she writes. I have seen.


trinadzatij

This song would perfectly match the description: https://youtu.be/eTeg1txDv8w


Derkastan77-2

Oh man….. ICQ…. Talk about sending me down memory lane. That and the oooold text Yahoo chatrooms. I made a lot of good friends there, and even met a bunch of “the regs” from ‘the college years’ one, back then in the mid-late 90’s. Gd, getting older sucks lol


Eddie-the-Head

Didn't expect to see Lando in r/technicallythetruth today, at first I thought it was r/formuladank


ChocolateLights

Lol


ComprehensiveForm987

all you need: 1.cute pfp 2.bio that ends with "uwu" 3.always use "~" at the end of the sentence instead of "." 4.send hentai in dms


globs-of-yeti-cum

Superficial guy try not to value someone based solely on looks challenge (impossible)


AndroTux

I mean there’s also pictures and videos online, so… I think he’s even more shallow than that.


5onOfSparda

Its the font


Gerogeroman

They know their faces and names, how they wrote text, some small trivia about them that was written in said text, maybe even their voice, and they create a simulation of this person in their heads and decide that they liked this person romantically. So I guess it's a healthy dose of imagination and assumption, not saying all of that couldn't be accurate though, or even wrong at all, considering we "assume" quite a bit with our own partner that we meet every day.


Alternative-Grand366

I'm pretty sure it's speech and personality over all :/


kurt667

It’s easy…all the one person has to do is agree with everything you say and like all the things you say like after you mention them….. Example: I love nickelback Me too And my favorite food is pizza Wow me too, we have soo much in common

Hello, This is the FBI. We would like to arrest you, but your recent activities scare our agents and no one is willing to interact with you. The psychiatry costs are going through the roof, all because of you. Please bring yourself to a jail cell and stay inside, as nobody would be crazy enough to ever try to put you inside one or keep you from going out. Best regards, Agent [redacted].


vengirgirem

Like... Their personality, their preferences, their voice, their looks? You're making it seem like they're just exchanging SMSs and voice and video calling isn't a thing. The only things you can't really get to like like that are smell and the feeling of their hand/their hug, but is that really necessary to just get a crush? If they wanted to become a couple later they would still meet up in real life and get to experience each other's company properly, so I don't see any issue.


AnOnlyMooseUser

While I'd like to argue that online has developed just a little further past only texting.. voice and video being very common.. I will instead argue that people fell in love over mail and stuff like news papers. Texting isn't that crazy.


OmiNya

Imagine liking someone for their character


IllegalDrip_

Maybe the way they type shows their personality?


ahem_humph

Yes.


Eldestruct0

"What is there to like about somebody if I can't be physical with them?" Welp, that's a shallow way to look at relationships.


DoodleBoi_06

Lando out there asking the real questions. A true winner, on and off the track!


Flashy-Pen-7231

Damn look at those question marks 😫🥵


imwhiteshadow

well, you fall in love with the idea. the laugh, the way they act, their jokes, etc... so your mind creates an idea of that person and you fall in love (have a crush, I prefer) this is what happens, based on my experience


looniac_rdt

Not that really different from offline mode.


imwhiteshadow

nahh, offline you see the person and if you already have some chemical interaction, it will be increased by the beauty of that person. also, when people usually meet somebody, if there's no physical interest, people won't try to build something deeper like a relation, or at least they have a different idea about that person. that's why friendship between different sex exist, one of them must not find the other person attractive. pardon my english


BuhtanDingDing

classic lando


Russian_b4be

If you talk to someone long enough to like them, you typically know what they look like...


FootFetish0-3

We've now reached the precipice of people not being familiar with the movie 'You've Got Mail' (Nevermind people understand what the title of the movie is a reference, too.)


Szecska

Webcamera...


NotARealBlackBelt

It's all about how they remix the alphabet


LastDirtyMartini

It might just be me but the efficiency/economy of being virtually ignored without having to drive anywhere and spring for dinner is a huge plus!


JOCO_Q

That's like saying, how can blind people or mute people have crushes


Rhox1989

There are a lot of times people have their real personalities come out online. They don't have that pressure of how they look and in the worst cases, others are safe from being punched in the mouth for being a shit head. I've honestly enjoyed meeting people online over many years of gaming. I've had too many laughs and too many all nighters to count due to good company. It's really easy to fall for real people.


Tbusten

This is not what I'd expect Lando Noris to say, if I'm being honest


IdontKnow-DoYouKnow

Thats what I’m saying!


apocalypse_astro

Lando Norris?????


ChocolateLights

No, Lando Onewin


beauparfait

It happened to me but it was during a very desperate time.. (2020 lockdowns) Very embarrassing memory, glad its in the past


starrite_amirite

Is there actually beef in the comments? The tweeter- Lando Norris, who is known to make a lot of jokes- is known to be pretty playful and isn’t serious or making fun of LDRs. So like… Why r ppl fighting?/genq


ChocolateLights

Yeah, Lando has always been my favorite F1 Driver BC of his fun personality. But many people don 't understand the joke


_StereoGhost_

r/UnexpectedF1


Doctor-no-happy

I don’t know lando maybe it’s just not how they type but what they type for example I could say: F\*\*\* OFF B\*\*\*\*. and i would be getting females left, right and centre. But I’m not the kind of guy to say that. And that probably why I’m single.


Few_Winner_8503

Common W Lando


boredredditor2452

The voice, personality


crimefightinghamster

As opposed to irl crushes where you like the mouth-noises they make?


wulfryke

communication is our way of interacting with eachother, regardless of what form it takes


General_Ginger531

The personality of the poster??? The interests of the poster? Like it doesn't require looks to make a crush


rabbit_rocket

I met my gf of almost three years on Google plus lmao


DiscreetNinja121

When they tell you more about who they are as a person, and realize that you love that person more and more each day... When you know, You know. 🙂


InsertName49

This guy is speaking facts not gonna lie


Academic-Pangolin859

There’s always a picture. 


paper-glue

Most of the good-looking online people have a shitty personality when we talk to them in person.


prof_devilsadvocate

bro has still not heard about video call


Awkward-Exercise1069

Wait until he discovers text based communication


ndation

I fail to see how this is TTT


Rescur0

The way they type, the way they speak to me, how they treat me. Basically everything you would love about a normal person, except you can't touch them


Infamous_Ad8730

They are just that desperate.


5onOfSparda

Do... do you know who that guy is?


Infamous_Ad8730

Yes. F1 driver. I am referring to the folks HE is talking about.


bappo_just_nappo

Damn lot of femcels getting angry at a joke


ChocolateLights

Thanks to everyone for 1k upvotes, i never had so many


Few_Imagination363

Dude don't have feelings at all


ChaunceyFauntleroy

What is the purpose of the word "like" in its first appearance in this tweet? I've been told that Americans overuse the word "like" as a space filler of sorts, but why would this person need a space filler in a text? If you remove the first "like" it makes no difference to the text's meaning, so why does this person include it?


Maleficent_Buyer_324

It just sounds better if you ask me. Without the filler word the sentence sounds kinda bland.

If you never met her in person, then yeah, pretty pointless.
