minus-squarePsythik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·14 days agoBoat. It’s a fucking boat.
minus-squareAlteon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·14 days agoHaaa…there’s MANY boats mate. Not sure how you missed that. Dozens. What would you call a group of boats? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t call it a boat of boats.
minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·14 days ago What would you call a group of boats? I’m being told by the IDF that a group of boats carrying food and medical aid is called a “publicity stunt”. I’m also being told it’s Hamas.
