i’d like to point out that when i made this post, all of these comments were at the top, but now if you look at the thread they’ve been replaced by completely different comments 

so please, for the love of god, look at the source link this thread is a neverending source of entertainment. people have added so much fucking shit since i made this

I was proctoring an exam for a student today while reading these, and I had to stop because I got to this one and almost fucking died

these are making my day

Okay, this one’s killing me:

These ones got me:

Ooohhh noo I can’t breathe and there are literal tears streaming down my face

Have a very, VERY good laugh people

this post is missing the BEST ONE:

Sleep deprivation is a HELL of a drug isn’t it

Story time. I was looking for these at the hardware store not too terribly long ago and didn't know what they were called. When a sales associate asked me if I needed help, I said I was looking for the drunk octopus hooks and held up my fists in a boxing pose.

She knew exactly what I was talking about, though.

look, fandom as a whole certainly has its own built-in biases and problems that need to be addressed 

but like

every so often i think about all of the deep, nurturing lifelong friendships that only ever happened because one day two internet strangers were like ‘oh hey, we agree on which fictional characters should kiss!’

people who are right now helping each other survive via connections they initially forged by liking the same sailor moon girl or something

the internet is a goddamn garbage pit but it is also a goddamn miracle

something i love about timeloops is that they satisfy the urge to study blorbo from your shows like a bug. i've trapped them in a timeloop and i'm subjecting them to situations. the narrative is a jar and i'm shaking it.

genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

Do you ever think about Janeway’s calendar? Maybe in the months after Voyager gets stuck in the Delta Quadrant, the computer suddenly piping up “Reminder: Wedding Dress Fitting”, “Reminder: Contact Caterers”, “Reminder: Check Honeymoon Bookings”, and she wants to delete them because they’re painful, but she can’t - she can’t, they’re her only reminders that she had a life outside this ship.

And one day she gets the reminder that she never really needed to set: “Reminder: Wedding Day”, except that on her wedding day she’s yelling orders and fighting off Kazon. And at the end of the day she’s exhausted and angry and so so frustrated that she snaps at Harry and the Doctor threatens to put her on medical leave (again). But Tuvok is there too, and he knows exactly what day it is. He was going to take her down the aisle. And as soon as their shift ends and they know they’re safe, he’s hugging her because “it is logical to offer comfort and finally, finally, she deletes the rest of the reminders.

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like "movie fan SHOCKED because i'd rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station" as if you're supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison

Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that's told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck

Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

my dad took some ancestry tests and eventually found out who his father was (and that he has 5+ siblings who are also finding all of this out) and honestly it's been pretty bizarre and emotional so far, naturally

but one of the biggest changes for me is no longer having to give the whole spiel of "oh i know i'm racially ambiguos but hey there's a whole story behind it because this that and here's my father's backstory"

like no i... i just have a grandpa from Nigeria now

...that's way less mysterious >:(

Congratudolences OP, your family are hilarious

when a film or tv show takes place somewhere where you have been, it is your sacred duty as viewer to say “i’ve been there” every time you recognize a place
