I guess if you consider silently scrolling through variations on the same dozen jokes over and over a form of exploration...

It's a bit ironic when meme culture cluttered and homogenized the internet

None of these Trump posts are oniony headlines

Is everyone upvoting this just because it's funny? It doesn't read like an onion headline at all

I got weirdly emotional the other day reading about Yellowstone and thinking about what people must have thought when they stumbled on Old Faithful.

Had they ever seen anything like that? Probably didn't even know what it was. Even if they were a first generation American, it's not like Europe is covered in geysers.

I got kinda sad knowing that every major natural feature on earth has already been discovered. I know that's hyperbolic but...the bottom of the ocean isn't something a normal person will ever see.

This product is a bit of a parody. The free/paid tier is mocking grammarly

What they did to notepad was the final straw for me.

Yes but that's done naturally, not shoehorning it into conversation with people who have no idea what you're talking about

Those are idioms. The anime kids were weirdly incorporating Japanese words into their communication with English speakers and doing kamehamehas in the hallway.

Here's something more analogous: A friend spent the summer before senior year in France and when she came back, you could not get through a conversation without her dropping a French word or relating something to "how they do things in France". And yes, we made fun of her until she stopped.

Do you have an example or is this from an 80s movie? I can't think of a single sports term someone would use to insult you or say something is cute.

Not sure how common it is outside of media for people to be throwing footballs around in the hallway, either..

I think both the greentext and tweet are wrong.

It's not liking anime, it's the type of person who gets obsessed with anime. Most of the anime kids at my school were VERY immature and wouldn't shut up about Japan. They'd call you baka and say a dog is kawaii

Only my metalhead friends and internet friends knew I liked anime. I didn't want to be associated with that type of fan.

Not in*

You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you're not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you're a NEET.

Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You're not a NEET if you're just between jobs.

It also implies that you're not seeking out any of those things but I don't think that's a "requirement"

Obviously it'd be dangerous regardless but it got me thinking....does a chimp have the fine motor control to operate a firearm?

Lmao

 
 

I was messing around on Bing trying to generate animals camouflaging into various environments but never spit out what I had in mind. It did, however, expose me to furry porn despite my prompt not requesting it.

Some other examples (not including the aforementioned one because I don't want to get banned lol):

 

Based on two rumors/conspiracy theories:

  1. Walt Disney had his body cryogenically preserved in the hopes of being resurrected later. Unsubstantiated but funny

  2. The film was titled "Frozen" so when you search for "Walt Disney Frozen" you don't learn about the first rumor
