minus-squareTJDetweiler@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·7 months agoIf you’re prone to getting sick, you’d have a weakened immune system. If you’re prone to getting sick on week days only, you have a weekend (end of the work week) immune system
minus-squareWalrusByte@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 months agoReplace “weekend” with “weakened” and it should make sense. It’s a play on words since normally you would say you have a weakened immune system if you get sick a lot, but since they’re only well on weekends, it’s a weekend immune system.
