Got 12, but i also slow down to yell “Grosses vaches” when driving by cows. (Fat cow)
“Smells good!” When nothing smells good
18/20 jfc… This was probably a quarter of that before being a middle aged dad and inheriting my father’s clothes.
I am quite surprised how many Lemmy users have such high scores on the dadness meter.
I am dad of two and I perceive myself as a pretty square, but I have near to 0 points.
Hi "quite surprised how many Lemmy users have such high scores on the dadness meter.

I’m dad!
I always say “flock of cows” to bait someone into saying “herd of cows” so that I can say “of course I’ve heard of cows!” Watching their faces is priceless.
I do this from time to time but with bison. I will casually slip “flock of bison” into a conversation hoping someone corrects me to “herd of bison”. So I can say. “No I hadn’t heard about your bi son. You must be so proud.”
I use school of deer when spotting deer and things like herd, pod or flock of fish while fishing.
I feel personally attacked
Nothing about a lot of grocery bags and exactly one walk?
When my kids were little, I joked about getting the “special saw” for their injuries. Looking back now, that’s pretty terrifying but at the time, … Same.
I think I’m about 90% dad here.
With four children, I think it still means I have to parent them all.
I refuse to use any of these.
Instead I like to come up with my own new ones.Like when someone comes back in right away after forgetting something.
I’m like: “Finally! Do you know how worried I’ve been?”Considering how much I love dad jokes, puns, and combinations thereof, I’m SHOCKED that I only scored 1/20! And I only point out horses SOMETIMES, depending on the situation.
Dogs, though? I’ll interrupt whatever you’re saying or doing to point it out no matter what.
Unlike horses, dogs are precious treasures that people NEED to be made aware of immediately, so they may coo and melt!
… What is a dog of not a worse horse?
Obligatory link because he’s a great poet and I’m sure this was just contextual and not his true feeling about dogs.
It must 80ies or 90ies dads??
Ouch… 18/20
Edit: They forgot the mandatory clicking of the tongs after picking them up.
And don’t forget the requirement to pull the button two to three times immediately after picking up a power drill.

That’s because that’s an everyone thing, not just dads. I have done this since I old enough to hold them.
Of course. Makes the food taste better.
(I do that with the table marker things at Chick-Fil-A too…)
I WOULD do it, but my tongs are silicone-coated (for air fryer removal)
I have the other 2. Combined we can make a whole dad
cool, now you only have to decide who enters who
I thought about this recently and it does make sense. You’ve gotta test the spring so you can use the right amount of force
well, I’m 55, so the 20 of them, and some I still says once a week :)
As someone who used to work in retail, if I’m ever caught saying “guess it’s free then,” I sincerely hope everyone in the store immediately stops what they’re doing to form an orderly line to take turns slapping the piss out of me.
I used to just say, “If you can run fast enough. I don’t know if I’d chance it though… Tony’s working today.”
“Nope, actually means it’s not for sale. Sorry.”
The shocked pikachu face they make is fucking priceless
In my experience, they usually take the counter-dad joke in stride, and we move on (sometimes they do make an obviously exaggerated expression as part of the joke). I’m probably an outlier, but I’ve always found “that means it’s free” quaint if just really trite; it’s just trying to be friendly and make my monotonous day a little more fun, and I understand from their perspective that it isn’t conspicuously overused. So I take the joke for its intent (I’ve never seen it used seriously, and imagining a remotely sane human being doing so strains credulity) instead of its actual novelty or cleverness. I will never make it because it’s so worn-out and I know it’ll make most people in retail groan, but I don’t begrudge people who do, since I’ve never seen it used in a sincerely harassing, negative way.
One thing I have grown into is to refuse to use my time to try to find prices for stuff, when the store fails to label it.
I’m right there with you! That was the only one that I refuse to do!
