Imagine making a small talk with your barista and they slide their social battery badge down a level

OMG I bought that pin last week and it arrived today!

imagine sliding this down mid conversation lmao

In a good day I'm in yellow ngl...

You're at a lunch with friends when they all stop talking.

They were distracted by the low health sound of your social health bar

Do-do do-do do-do

I need this for... reasons.

you know what? this sort of thing should be normalized. if im talking to someone, and they feel like they need a social break, let them use this! plus it might help people who have trouble telling where they're at on that scale

all i can picture is my wife making eye contact as we walk towards the party and sliding it allllll the way down as a way of telling me that i am forcing her to socialize against her will and that we could be on the couch petting the dog right now

I'd want to be able to control this from a remote in my pocket. (Mentally/magically would be even better.) That way, I could have it drain away on its own during a conversation.

not enough fucked up little freak animals in the barbie movie. not enough busted ass capital-c Creatures. barbie god's mistakes.

where were they. greta where were they.

What uh. What's the frog story 👀

Avatar

back when i was in second grade, my elementary school organised a school market with every class selling their crafts for charity. the contribution of my class were hand-sized ceramic frogs we made in art class. each one of us made one of them to be sold for five euros a piece (this is important later). the quality of the frog i made varies drastically based on who is telling the story, and for reasons that will become very apparent later there is no way to check, but i stand by the fact that it was average looking, if a bit wonky.

the day of the market arrived, and all frogs were bought within minutes, snatched up by enthusiastic and proud parents. all except - mine. because my mother hates spending money on unnecessary things, and she hates children's crafts even more. so she - loudly and vehemently - refused, in her thick eastern european accent, to "spend five euros on an ugly frog".

i will never forget seeing my ceramic frog alone on the slightly wet cardboard, surrounded by the imprints left behind by the already sold frogs. all the while other parents are getting more and more agitated, trying to get my mother to put the frog out of its misery. eventually, she budged, and spend five euros on a wonky frog. she was absolutely furious about this.

so furious, in fact, that when we came home to where my father was remodelling the kitchen, she WALLED IT IN. that's right. she cask of amadillo'd that poor ceramic fool. put him into the open wall and slapped concrete over it faster than my poor seven year old self or my dad could protest. out of pure anger over loosing five euros. and that's where it remains, until this day.

my mom hates when this story is brought up, which is why we bring it up all the time. she also thinks she what she did was right, because "do the other parents know where the frog is? no. only your creation is safe. because i love you." morally, i would disagree, but on a pure factual basis, she has a point.

i made her another ceramic frog for her last brithday, which was not buried like some pharaoh, and everytime guests compliment it my brother loudly goes "oh you should see the other frog he made" and when they ask to see it, he points at the wall. this is hilarious to him and infuriating for my mother. and that's the frog story.

@/alex-wtf replies by tagging the previous person and writing, “that’s because she gave her naturals to gandalf and had to replace them.”
