If you’re holding a hot dog and the person you’re talking to is crying, how long do you have to wait to take a bite?

@HailsandAles I think as a gesture of concern you have to offer to share the hot dog or risk the dog trying to snatch it.

@mikemccaffrey @HailsandAles @Binder "may I offer you a topologically ambagious sandwich in this trying time?"

@HailsandAles no wait just eat it

[argonaut@mastodon.social]

@HailsandAles @tayfonay as long as you possibly can for your own good, because biting them will probably make them cry longer and perhaps even harder…

[andthegeekshall@mastodon.social]

@HailsandAles a nanosecond.

[andthegeekshall@mastodon.social]

@HailsandAles time each bite with their sobs.

@HailsandAles I am a dirtbag and probably am hungry so I'm going to eat that hot dog.

@HailsandAles
It depends which stand the dog is from and how attached I am to the person.

If it's a fascist and there's not enough celery salt on the dog those tears might just come in handy.

@mikemccaffrey @HailsandAles @Binder if they're crying, I'm pretty sure a hot dog won't help.
However...
You can offer them yours, saying, I'll go and get another. Helps assuage any guilt about taking your hot dog.

@HailsandAles

Offer them the hot dog. If they refuse, chomp away.

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@HailsandAles depends on why did you make them cry. If it is your 4 year old starving after you picked them up from kindergarden, you better give them your hot dog, if it is an abusing racist/fascist/MAGA idiot & you told him off & kicked him in the nuts, munch away & laugh.

@HailsandAles Maintain eye contact with a neutral expression while you listen to them, while slowly bringing the hot dog up to your mouth.

[m3t00@app.wafrn.net]

maybe it's the hotdog

[jlm@mastodon.world]

@HailsandAles
Considering a hot dog is 3 bites for me, the harder they cry more likely I'm finishing my hot dog

[jabsonik@ihan.outo.la]

@HailsandAles @jonne The whole time it takes to slowly lift the hot dog into your mouth while intensely staring straight in the crying person’s eyes.

@HailsandAles OT - your HDR profile pic is messing with the color scaling of the whole screen (Ice Cube app on iOS). Overall not nice to look at, but cool hack.

[hailsandales@metalhead.club]

@axel_hartmann I don’t even know what this means. It is not intentions and looks normal on my client
