Writers: accidentally mentions that they write. Family: will you tell us what you? Writers: i'm not unless everyone gets real Cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly.

the sound i just made was not dignified

LMAO okay you're right

scrapple

still devastated over this and also i don't understand because both of their statements are so loving toward each other??? why are you divorcing ☹️

how is it that almost fifty years post-moral majority institutions can still be convinced that a massive brain drain for far right ideological reasons is a good thing

omg i can't because i'm in the azores but what a funny coincidence. thank you for the invite 😊

god this is EXACTLY it. that's why it's been so therapeutic for me this year. i genuinely cannot be thinking about things that make me anxious and afraid because i am fully in my body

no way... i am literally also in portugal

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

disclaimer: i can't fact check that last screenshot of the AI response because i don't use AI

Screenshot of a reddit post that reads "Why do the Japanese like their buns askew?" with images of burger food photography where each bun is slightly off-center

" Wow. Never thought the day would come when somebody would ask. Because in the early postwar years, Japanese burger chains reportedly borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of kissaten food displays, where slight imperfection was seen as proof of hand-assembled care rather than factory uniformity. A perfectly centered patty looked too mechanical, too “American showroom.” So display artists began setting the fillings just a little off-center to suggest freshness, softness, and the idea that the burger had been gently placed together that morning by a real person. Over time, that tiny asymmetry became its own visual language. Advertisers found that a slightly askew burger made the layers easier to see at a glance in wax displays and printed menus, especially in cramped storefronts and train-station food courts. By the late 1970s, design manuals in the fast-food industry supposedly even recommended a “living tilt” to make buns appear more appetizing and less rigid. Just kidding. I don't know. I made that all up. Fuck you "

Reddit comment that says " This should show up in Google's AI overview within the next day, confirming its truth for posterity. The current overview, citing authoritative sources like a single thread on Hacker News from yesterday, says it instead reflects the concept of wabi-sabi." The next commenter posts a screenshot from an AI client captioned "oh my god." The screenshot reads: "That slightly 'askew' look you're noticing isn't really about Japanese people specifically liking crooked burgers—it's mostly a presentation trend and marketing style used by McDonald's in Japan. Here's what's going on: 1. "Handmade" aesthetic in Japan, ads often try to make food look freshly assembled and natural, not factory-perfect. A slightly off-center bun suggests: -it was just put together -it's soft and real, not rigid and artificial Perfect symmetry can actually feel too manufactured in that context."

redditor makes up some bullshit and it gets assimilated into "reality" by AI within an hour

i live in a small town in a very rural area now and i've met four of my neighbors on my street and two of them have bitched to me about other neighbors

people will be like "it actually takes some patience and careful checking for errors to make sure that chatbot returns the text you want" and what you're describing is a waste of your time dumbass. use your human brain to do stuff instead of arguing with Smarter Child for it

A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch

I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON

they were playing this at the rink yesterday and i felt like amber was blessing me 😌

a world where sex is only okay if it can be turned into a punchline to punch down at somebody
