ive recently been able to get over my sensory issues regarding moisturizer by literally just saying "im going snail mode"

I’m

The youth are lost

Not in a million years would I have ever thought of this

For extra comedy, there’s the recent TikTok of someone asking “What’s a word you pronounced incorrectly one time and it still haunts you to this day?” Justin Timberlake himself replies with “Me.”

I have no proof but jsab is trending slightly we might have more than 20 people in this fandom now

it should be socially acceptable to roll around on the ground groaning in pain . it wouldnt help get rid of the pain but i would feel a little better about it

The grim reaper was initially illustrated as doing a mundane, regular job that everyone has seen done - a reaper swings his scythe and the hay falls, just as easy as people fall as death swings. Now many people who have never been to a farm only know the scythe as the weapon of Death personified, and farmers in most places of the world don't even use them anymore.

Imagine Death personified as someone doing a modern regular, mundane job. Imagine thinking "hoo boy, this is it for me. The Grim Bin Man is coming to collect, hauling my sorry soul into the trash compactor of his great eternal garbage truck."

ask not for whom the dustcart rumbles

it rumbles for thee

(soul collection schedule may vary on weekends, bank holidays, and with strike action)

wait wait wait wait @needsmorebirds you're onto something with this but

did you know?

eating can make you be not lightheaded

the real true purpose of having a brain is to think about fictional characters

so many of the best foods in the world are created by leaving some shit in a jar and letting mysterious and terrible things happen to it

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

thought autocomplete would take me to outlook dot com not realising id forgotten the T before i pressed enter. However was very much pleased at what it took me to instead. I think I don't want to see my emails now. I think I will stay with the oul.

the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever

steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!

i think the most interesting part is that steve (and the others, mostly alex) are constantly misgendered by not just fans, but official minecraft content itself. merch, social media posts, etc will often refer to steve with he/him, and alex with she/her, although sometimes they seem to omit pronouns entirely. the developers, though, have seen them as genderless since basically the beginning

before notch became who he is today, he posted about gender in minecraft, ending it with:

and in an interview with lydia williams, she talks about how she was corrected on steve’s gender (presumably by her coworkers at the time):

and again, in the latest skin-related video, both steve and sunny are referred to solely with they/them. the developers seem pretty set and comfortable with the genderless nature of the player characters, which makes it really confusing as to why the rest of the branding ignores that fact entirely

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.

i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like

"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital

"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not
