I will never become a supervillain...mainly because it requires a PhD, and I don't have the willpower to endure several more years of school.
There's just something oddly hilarious about saying something really intriguing, going very in-depth with a genuine and partially comedic point, and then finishing the post with half a sentence. It's like the punchline is to be inferred, and I love it. In this essay, I will
Preface: I'm dyslexic.
I've heard the word "subpoena" said verbally several times, but just today, I learned how it's spelled.
Ew.
Is there a god?
That's for you to decide and for no one to find out.
People who lived 60 years ago probably experienced tens of "historical moments" that nobody today cares about because all we remember about the 60s are the music, the clothing, the hairstyle, and the lunar landing.

"They may take out servers, but they'll never take our movie nights!"
I'm a fan of Linux, but I'm hesitant to switch before I know very little about OSs and how software worth with hardware. I like a PC with good specs, but I don't know which specific specs are decent/crappy so I buy prebuilt PCs that sound good enough to me. And prebuilt PCs often run Windows.
Even-numbered years seem to go faster than odd-numbered years, with the exception of 2020.
I'm so tired I tried to hang my bathrobe on the showerhead instead of the doorhook.
Ankyloglossia might actually explain why I had a lisp at a young age.
By the way, I wasn't joking when I said I went to the dentist yesterday, and there I learned I have ankyloglossia. I just added the punchline because I felt like it.
I went to the dentist yesterday and apparently, I have ankyloglossia. I tried to deny it, but I was tongue-tied.
Self-deprecating humour would be one of my skills if I had any.
It is socially acceptable to give a valentine to your grandmother, but not to your mother.
Theory.
Flynn Rider was never supposed to be in the movie. He's just a guy who showed up to set one day and started asking questions about the plot, and the crew decided to just keep him in the movie. That's why he's the most real character; because he has no idea what's happening.
I didn't know the 3DS internet services should be shut down this year. I transferred so many sentimental mons up to my copy of Sun, and I intended to transfer them eventually, but now I'm too late. I should have been more up-to-date with what was happening. They're stuck in Alola forever now :(
Have you ever had that feeling where you've owned a product for many years with no issue, but as soon as you see an ad for that product, you suddenly feel ashamed for owning it?
*cough*

TIL the YouTube app has an incognito feature. That's pretty convenient. Too bad it doesn't work with my Premium features, but I understand why.
Resisting the urge to write chapter one of several stories that I have no intention of finishing.
This is gonna be the hottest and nerdiest take ever.
30-bit colour should become standard. I'm sorry, it just offers significantly more value in comparison to so-called "True colour."
TIL about the words "deasil" and "widdershins" which are synonyms for "clockwise" and "counterclockwise," except the word widdershins traditionally means 'the wrong way'
All cologne, perfume, or fragrance commercials are so bizarre. To me, they never made sense.
Then I realized. They are all scents, and can't make sense, because you can't sense scents through a TV screen.
A pianist may use all the notes at his disposal, but a true artist is not bound by such conventions.

If you enjoy reading the thought I put into writing here on this platform...
Thanks.
I hope you have a splendid evening.
I'm probably not the first person to have this thought. Emojis and emoticons have different vibes.
I use :) when I'm genuinely happy.
I use 🙂 when I'm trying to be condescending.
I use o_o when I'm shocked.
I use 😳 when I'm embarrassed.
I use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when I'm like whatever.
I use 🤷 never.
Me, to my friend: "I'm very in-touch with my inner child."
My friend, to me: "Okay, Michael Jackson."
I kinda don't get it, but it's whatever.
Dear programmers.
When it's interchangeable, which do you prefer? Single quotes or double quotes?
I just had an in-depth conversation about fluorescent light bulbs and how there was this huge initiative many years ago to use these instead of incandescent ones, and yet the initiative failed because everyone uses LEDs.
I don't think that take is specific to any generation.
Part of me thinks that it's not the genre itself, but the standardization of the television industry that restricts the execution and ultimately dooms most shows to fail.
EngLAND → EngLISH
ScottLAND → ScottISH
IreLAND → IrISH
NewfoundLAND → NewfoundLANDER???
Charles O'Rear is not commonly known relative to pop-culture. But once he passes away, everyone will surely remember him as an amazing photographer.
"Blind Man Verbally Abused by Animal Activist for Having Seeing Eye Dog"
This is officially the worst headline I've ever read.
Just because you're right, doesn't mean you've successfully insulted me.
Sometimes I wonder how much of Shakespeare's "exotic" choice of words was actually just a bunch of at-the-time pop-culture references.
Consider:
The familiar event yielded two nickels.
Notice the reference?
I had the funniest Freudian slip happened to me recently and I can't stop thinking about it.
A skidsteer and a forklift are not the same things. Knowing how to drive one doesn't automatically mean I can drive the other. That's like me saying "You know how to drive a car, so now go fly a boat"
There are things my mother says that I understand having grown up with her, but may be completely incomprehensible to a stranger. Some of these are more obvious than others.
- pass me a kaniffee
- I'm not as think as you dumb I am
- we're off like a turd a hurdles
10 years ago, I lent my copy of Pokémon Black to a friend. He lost the cartridge within a week.
For years, I've had an empty Pokémon Black box sitting empty on my shelf.
Today, I'm very pleased to have found a reasonably-priced replacement for the game I lost eons ago.
I'm daydreaming about purchasing a high-end digital photography camera because I'm interested in photography but not interested enough to actually do it.
Currently fighting the urge to buy expensive tools used for hobbies that interest me in which I also have no intention of participating.
