ok but the way one piece fans talk about the show must sound very insane to anyone else like...
"oh yea Scurvy McCalico? love that guy. he first shows up in episodes 669 right after the jenga tower arc but only really becomes important once he leaves the frog leg pirates to join the communist party around episode 2357 during the fairy bread massacre arc only to die from shitting sparkles out his ass two episodes later.."
For anyone who, like me, is the last person left that didn't know what this was, it's an ADHD medication and in the USA the cost for a prescription could run $400 so this is pretty cool.
Okay this is just getting funny now
Oh no.
Ohhh no.
Even nonreligious people already easily succumb to thinking an AI is a real being, even when they know it's an AI. People who literally program them and know they're not conscious can still fall into the trap. It has already happened to actually harmful extremes more than once already.
Now combine that with the people who think a book is the real word of God if that's what the book itself says and would do literally anything that think God is asking them to do.

So jaded by cgi that I didn't think this was impressive at all until I realised it was all an actual size set
It took me a solid few seconds to realize those type bars swinging back and forth at the top are actually peoples legs

sometimes you need to give up committing to the bit when someone genuinely can’t tell if it’s a bit or not and is getting distressed about it :/ sorry
sometimes all u need to do is take one second to say "(yeah this is a bit)" if someone is genuinely asking because they genuinely can't tell, and then you can continue with the bit. i just feel like refusing to acknowledge someone saying "i cant tell if youre joking or not" and you just continue, or even say, "im not joking" then you're not being very funny, you're just being kind of mean, i think.
obviously there is nuance to this and if you know someone really well sometimes going in harder on the bit will make them get that it's a bit and that's fine if you know them. but just be mindful, yknow? not everyone can pick up on stuff like that, and pushing harder on a bit by saying "im serious" when someone asks if you're joking or not can be harmful in some situations.
