You just discovered that some people enjoy holding hands (in public!) and this has shocked you to your core.

Oh my stars! How disgraceful.

Your friend tried to get you to try new pizza toppings, but you only like pepperoni so you picked off everything else.

You're a soil scientist that replicated an important study about erosion and fault lines.

You just realized that it wasn't really Microsoft technical support that you gave root access to on discuss.online

There's no AI behind chatgpt, it's just you typing really fast, and this is what it looks like when you're busy.

Awful. All this extra societal stress is causing absurd levels of muscle soreness. Everything hurts. We are no longer a democracy and, being autistic, I am a target.

[–] m_f@discuss.online 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah, things are not looking great, but @SaltSong@startrek.website captures my attitude pretty well with this image:

Hoping that the MAGAts turn on Musk/Trump like the hyenas from the Lion King when consequences start happening, but in the meantime that's my vibe 👆

Not anywhere close to as good as it is for the girl in the gif.

She just found out that it's legal to drink ketchup straight from the bottle

You were this close 🤏 to a proof that P=NP before being jolted awake by aliens ensuring that humanity will never find it.

You learned to dance a haka, but you have all the coordination of Elaine from Seinfeld.

Edit: sorry, this sounds a bit more dickish than I intended.

[–] m_f@discuss.online 6 points 2 days ago

No, it's entirely true. It doesn't matter though because it intimidates my enemies regardless
