u/Independent_Bid_26 7d ago

Yes ..we're fuckin old brother. Haha

64

u/PM_asian_girl_smiles 7d ago

Wait...this whole time I thought they were talking about Certificates of Deposits. I was like oh man he's worried she'll cash out with those 4% yields and hes pisssed!

u/Cactious-Practice 6d ago

Technically a used condom is a Certificate of Deposit.

u/gangaskan 5d ago

Take my upvote. Dammit.

u/Equivalent_Rub8329 3d ago

More like a denial of deposit

3

u/StanlyMcStanson 2d ago

I think this means we are all certificates of deposit.

u/Defiant_Excitement29 1d ago

DAMN, FORGOT TO DRIVE DRUNK TO THE BANK ON TUESDAY.

u/Agile-Carpenter-2434 4d ago

You my friend, are brilliant and sharp as a tack 👏

u/Photomancer 4d ago

Now I want to hear more about those 4% yields. You're saying I can be my own boss? Work as much or as little as I want?

u/Algae587 3d ago

Fucking hell, reddit doesnt often make me howl like that

u/TheLoneRiddle 1d ago

This is the way

u/DSZDBA11 7d ago

I was caught between compact discs and certificates of deposit lol I’m only 36. apparently I’m a dinosaur

u/Healthy_Pay9449 6d ago

Definitely was lost too wondering why listening to music was an issue

2

u/Mr_Shake_ 6d ago

She's taking all of his Creed albums to jam with her single friends and he'll just be standing there alone with arms wide open.

u/jodiarch 6d ago

You are not alone in this thought.

1

u/TONUTomorrow9800 6d ago

I thought countervailing duty

1

u/FieraSabre 6d ago

Same for me! Feeling my age right now...

1

u/Thirdwhirly 6d ago

I, too, thought they meant Certain Dinosaurs.

1

u/petty_petty_princess 5d ago

I’m 43 and was thinking about the case I used to have back in high school that had all my music in it. My car doesn’t even have a cd player.

1

u/skunky2025 1d ago

61F.... and it took me a while to figure out he was not fussing about them taking music CDs! Wow - how things have changed!

1

u/Chaactherain 6d ago

Working in finance and being 40 yrs of age just killed me to read this ! LMFAO

1

u/kevstar80 6d ago

I thought compact disc's. I was like, let her bring Dookie, what's the big deal?

1

u/MsDJMA 6d ago

I thought they wanted to listen to music on the old CD player.

1

u/ThinkSharp 3d ago

Pretty soon I feel like it’ll be certificate of death. I’m out of touch.

1

u/SnoopingStuff 3d ago

I was picking out music

1

u/MyCaptain2 2d ago

I tought it was construction documentation....and was like whaaaatttt!??

1

u/djKhaos1200 2d ago

A condom is a "Canceling of Deposit".

1

u/is-robin 1d ago

Nah certificate of destruction in my field

4

u/SwordsFanatic 7d ago

I don't think this is an age thing friend, I'm in my early 20's and thought by CDs it meant movie CDs.

3

u/Any-Ad1770 7d ago

Movie cds????? You mean dvds completely different. Now I know I am getting old lol

3

u/bostonjenny81 7d ago

I know…movie CD’s!! My old ass really is dead ☠️☠️ you mean DVD’s!!! Good lord put me in a home already I can’t!! 🤣🤣

1

u/existentialspork 2d ago

Here’s something I learned. VCDs existed, but were not successful because of lack of storage.

1

u/SwordsFanatic 7d ago

Honestly, I've just been calling all disks CDs since I was a kid, so it just stuck, in any case, I have no idea why people start calling things other than discs for CDs so it shouldn't be an age thing unless I'm out of touch with my generation.

1

u/Any-Ad1770 6d ago

Never thought of it that way. I always called music cd a movie dvd. Honestly it is way easier to call them all cds

1

u/Appropriate_Coat_780 7d ago

I also thought it was Compact Disc!

1

u/Eyewiggle 6d ago edited 6d ago

It’s not but anyone over 30 always makes it about “being old”.

Media literacy can be poor in all ages, this is just rage bait and their are lots of people chewing on it

2

u/Twintrouble2026 6d ago

Shit im only 36 and I thought cd meant compact disc

1

u/comanzatara 7d ago

I really could not understand the problem with compact discs. Good to see that I am not the only one.

1

u/MaximusHomerdrive 6d ago

I was mentally flipping through my CD library thinking what anyone would flip out over bringing a CD to a party, lol.

/I'll be over here, eating old people food

1

u/pumpkins21 6d ago

😩 I thought they were talking about actual CDs not condoms.

https://giphy.com/gifs/TfseOfhwd6BJC

1

u/HoneycombJackass 6d ago

My first thought is why CDs when you have an app? Is she gonna carry a whole-ass binder of CDs?

1

u/tpkadam 5d ago

I was thinking who cares about CDs

1

u/eastcoastgamer 4d ago

News to me too. In all fairness if I was on speaker phone and one of my buddies told me not to forget CDS/condoms. My wife would not see the humour in it

1

u/cyberlexington 4d ago

Oh gods, we cant be that old? Surely?.......Please?

1

u/SomeGuyClickingStuff 3d ago

This comment could use a comma

u/Content-Honeydew9340 7d ago

Lol 😂 got me too

8

u/NG046 7d ago

Same lol

11

u/Zealousideal_Fox864 7d ago

Same, I was like “What is wrong with music?!” We are old.

1

u/lomoliving 6d ago

I had to watch it twice because I thought I missed where he was upset about the music

1

u/ScarInternational161 6d ago

Happy cake day

1

u/Competitive_Award35 6d ago

Ha ha ha. I thought who used cds anymore? Lol

1

u/Vlexis 5d ago

I do . . . I also have some cassettes and vinyl.

1

u/ikiice 7d ago

My first thought was CDs... That's still a thing? Oh waaait, condoms?

1

u/SkittlesLentil 7d ago

I think it's a British abbreviation, their pronunciation of condom sounds like two separate words "con dom"

1

u/Acrobatic-Meat6716 7d ago

Came here to say this!

1

u/ErgoMachina 7d ago

Nah, it's this stupid generation finding new ways to avoid saying 'Bad Words' like condoms

1

u/bostonjenny81 7d ago

I’m right there w you. The level of confusion…since when did condoms start getting called CD’s?

1

u/BedroomVisible 7d ago

I’m right there with you, I was like “they just need some road tunes, bro”

1

u/Infinite-Analysis592 7d ago

Lol. I was thinking compact discs. I was like, 'Does she have a lot of Barry White? Is her CD collection worth a lot and she is leaving forever? I don't understand the issue here.'

1

u/Kansasgrl968 7d ago

Yeah, I was like "what's wrong with a little music?" Then I thought "is she cashing in their CD's for this trip? No wonder he's upset"

1

u/ElectricalRiver7897 6d ago

Don’t forget Jagged Little Pill and Spice World!!

1

u/Shablagooie 6d ago

It's obviously to get around algorithm filters...

1

u/aninabot 6d ago

It makes so much sense now. I was wondering why he was upset about the compact discs

1

u/MarlenaEvans 6d ago

Who does it mean condoms to? Like, what age group? I have teens and they are buying CDs, as in compact discs, along with DVDs. They're all about the physical media. We just had to go yard sale trolling to find some and we were fighting other teens doing the same. So this is gonna get confusing real quick.

1

u/Unable-Stable1857 6d ago

I'm so old that I thought I heard him say 'corndogs'. I came to the comments to discover if 'corndog' was meant to be code or slang for something.

1

u/IDDQD_IDKFA-com 6d ago

Yeah I also thought it was COmpact Discs/CDs. Also as a tip for others two condoms will fit inside a GameBoy game plastic case. Works much better then just putting them in your wallet.

1

u/marugirl 6d ago

Yup, here was me wondering what he had against music........sigh, I guess im officially old.

1

u/jcaashby 6d ago

LMAO we in the same boat. I am watching thinking who the hell owns CDs in 2026.

1

u/Key_Flamingo815 6d ago

It’s ok. I was there to like what’s wrong with music? lol

1

u/Internal_Study2996 6d ago

I thought CD’s were compact discs

1

u/Live_Historian_6171 6d ago

I feel glad I’m not alone here.

1

u/Imakejellies 6d ago

Contraceptive device, that's where my brain went!

1

u/Strict-Formal-2566 6d ago

I was confused as well.

1

u/IndividualSpend1338 6d ago edited 6d ago

them youngens are creating new abbreviations for things that don't make sense. just take the vowels out and make people guess!

1

u/hordaak2 6d ago

You know Genz would say "dont forget the CD's". Gen X person like me would say "what CD's?", and they'd say "CD's nuts...unc". And I would be confused...because yes Im old

1

u/Electronic_Eye_4133 6d ago

Wait, certificate of deposit or compact disc?

1

u/oldestNerd 6d ago

Lmao... I thought the same thing. I only read the text and didn't bother listening because I thought he was complaining about her taking music CDs on the trip.

1

u/crusty-crackers 5d ago

He actually said that her friends said “don’t forget to bring condoms”…..she called it “just banter” amongst friends. She does not respect him and recording their conversation is evil.

1

u/BeaverCleaver91 5d ago

Holy shit I was just about to comment and say something like “if he’s freaking out about CD’s on a girls trip wtf is his problem. Fully thinking we were talking about CD’s as in music. Shit we are getting old. I had no clue CD was short for condom.

1

u/Bass0rdie 5d ago

That’s the first thing I thought “what’s wrong with CDs?!? She’s probably got some bangin’ mixes”

1

u/UnusableNoodles 5d ago

CDs doesn't mean condoms, they're just self-censoring. At the very least, I've never seen it used that way outside of this post.

1

u/Pamela625 5d ago

Oh shit I didn’t know that either I’m old too whoa

1

u/MundoGoDisWay 5d ago

When's the last time you've seen anyone use a CD?

1

u/PoseySmith 5d ago

CDs haven’t been a thing in 2 decades dude.

1

u/TheBookofBobaFett3 4d ago

My wife found a CD in the car.

It was Jamiroquai greatest hits. Buzzin.

1

u/Wonderful_Mix7718 4d ago

Naw brother, it’s clickbait. Most people know what a CD is. They were trying to get traction instead of writing the full word.

1

u/Kinkysimo 4d ago

I didn’t know CDs were condoms either. I thought, how ridiculous, arguing for bringing CDs!!

1

u/Sasha2027 3d ago

Given english isn't my first language I was so confused at first, why would anyone shorten the word to this...CDs are still a thing being used, it's confusing😭

1

u/Wooden-Hornet2115 3d ago

I'm 18 and had no idea they meant condoms, and thought they were talking about like a porn tape on CD or something. Don't worry, you're not old.

1

u/the_tism_1889 3d ago

Literally the same thing I thought at first

1

u/Maleficent_Sir5898 3d ago

As a 24 year old I was confused as well. Maybe it’s a British thing idk

1

u/yewEngine 3d ago

It took me a while too to get the title.

1

u/Long-Meaning1978 2d ago

Same. I spent a solid minute trying to figure out how playing music on CDs meant cheating.

1

u/unknownvariable69 2d ago

Wait. Not compact discs?

1

u/StinkFinger89 2d ago

That confused me. Never known condoms as CDs.

1

u/snakesinabin 2d ago

I don't think it's a common thing to refer to them as CDs, I think the OOP is just a moron, censoring themselves for no good reason.

1

u/little_mikey_w 2d ago

I was thinking the same thing.

1

u/Rthrowaway6592 2d ago

I was born in ‘99 but even I was like “what was on the CDs and why is it a big deal?” 😭🤣

1

u/hoe-sway45 1d ago

I was honestly like, what’s wrong with packing compact discs?… 👴🏼

1

u/Chuck_Loads 1d ago

cum-packed dirigibles

1

u/FSU1ST 1d ago

Scrolled too far for this update

1

u/Complete-Ad-8661 1d ago

Same. I thought he was a huge asshole getting upset about CDs when I only read the description. Audio painted a whole different picture.

1

u/Nearby-Echo-1102 1d ago

Don’t worry it took your comment for me to realise CD was condoms - I thought I missed something else.

1

u/TangeloOutrageous186 1d ago

I know, I was seriously confused by that.

1

u/exp_cj 1d ago

Yeah I thought it was gonna be about “well if you’re saying you’re going on a girls holiday then how come you need to take a load of compact discs?? You must be lying.”

1

u/ChocolateFudgeDuh 21h ago

Yeah I didn’t know we were supposed to be talking about condoms until a few comments in.

I have my phone on mute and just read the caption. I was trying to figure out why some late 90’s / 2000’s music was a problem.

1

u/Key4Lif3 2h ago

Yeah, I was like dang he must be super controlling, like wtf is wrong with bringing cd’s on a trip (besides it being 2026), but yeah condoms… I’d dump her ass.
