You basically guarantee that that character will wind up having to deliver a eulogy or something.
I like this one. They spend their whole life being so careful not to flip the switch by accident, not doing physical activities, not walking in big crowds, never hugging someone, only wearing certain types of clothes, etc. Then it finally happens late in life and the switch does nothing. They realize that they missed out on so many experiences due to fear.
That’s some psychological horror. Could be a Black Mirror episode.
I still have a set of encyclopedias on a shelf somewhere. I was thinking of making it into a learning game when the kids are old enough: like (unplugs router) “anyone who can tell me what year [blank] happened gets some candy”
That makes more sense! Thanks
This was the first translation that google gave me, so I was wondering if “having a ball” coincidentally also became slang for “having fun” in Hungarian.
It has to be upscaling of some sort. That’s not the original background from this interaction either.
Probably, lol. Frakes is mugging the camera like in his Beyond Belief show.

Lol if I see one at Goodwill some day, I’ll know it was you.
I completely agree.
It’s a weird analogy, but it reminds me a lot of t-shirts with funny text on them. When they originally took more effort to make, someone wearing a shirt that just said “got milk?” or “talk to me after I’ve had my coffee” was considered pretty creative and funny. Now that they can be churned out at will with any image you want (you could literally screenshot our conversation and order a shirt that would be here by the weekend.), it cheapens them to the point that it’s a less desired thing to make in general.
It truly is a curse. The poor librarian is probably surrounded by this all day.

I dropped it in the body of the post for reference so that people finding this later can follow.
It was this one:

Nice one, lol. I tacked this on to the post too.
Yeah, it’s biblical.
The abbreviated story is that two women were both claiming a baby as theirs, and King Solomon had to make a judgement. He suggested the only fair way was to split the baby in two, knowing the real mom would give up her claim to prevent that from happening. One woman said split it, the real mom retracted her claim, and Solomon gave the baby to the real mom.
The joke here is that they split an atom instead of a baby.
Perfect. I can replace the old one with this!
Ty kindly
Would you please edit and toggle the NSFW tag on (b/c of the gore)?











Did you design my last motherboard?
