Politician: If the president decides 10% of all money is his money that’s the system working as intended. It’s called The Constitution

Politician: These terrible tariffs I’m so proud of ruined our economy, which is why if reelected I will strongly demand to politely request they reduce import fees by 10% on olives and gravel

Toy Story 5 Woody and Buzz discover that toys are alive because they’re ushabti, holy figurines destined to escort their owners into the afterlife. After Andy dies of old age and his heart is weighed heavier than a feather, the toys reunite to rescue his soul from Ammit

Me: Personal opinion, but I prefer the non-nanite Iron Man armor. It's more immersive to have a physical suit fly down from the sky instead of metal goop just magically appearing on him Fellow WW3 Survivor Huddled Around Campfire: Are you going to eat that rat

Toys are cursed with immortality, trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth as they watch children grow up and abandon them over and over. This is basically the same thing that happens after Queen Marika seals away the Rune of Death

I watched Toy Story 5. It has the same plot as Elden Ring now. Decaying knights lament the glories of a lost age. Lurking in rotten sepulchers they maintain their eternal vigil over a sundered land

Huh, I guess the 20-foot-tall statues lining the underground boulevards do kinda look like me. I hadn’t really noticed the resemblance, they’re just meant to depict the noble everyman

Me: What is a dentist's favorite time? Tooth-hurty! Reply: I take issue with your comment. A dentist's calling is to care for teeth, not revel in their pain. I am simultaneously married to three dentists at once and all of them think we're monogamous, so I know this is slander

I have mixed feelings about data centers. Terraforming the earth into a toxic wasteland in order to replace humanity with a computer god is objectively very cool. But I understand it also comes with some downsides

Data centers promise jobs but hire few people That's why I propose a law that every data center must hire 1,000 Priests of Data to worship the computers, pray to the servers, light candles, etc. The priests will boost the local economy and fill the air with the sweet sound of their Gregorian chants

Imagine the Day after Doomsday. 70% of the global population has been eliminated. The internet is gone. Good news comes over the radio from Svalbard. We still have legume biodiversity, the legumes are fine. But it’s small consolation without your collection of gun charms

We have the Svalbard Seed Vault to protect plants during a global apocalypse, but what about my video game items? My skins, gun decals, magic armor, virtual pets, digital furniture, etc, could all be deleted during an extinction event without backup servers. I propose a Svalbard Gamers Vault

One brain controls conscious thought, memory, intelligence, emotion and it is purely mechanical meat The other brain is in charge of automatic systems like respiration, digestion, etc, has a soul, and will be exalted for all eternity

Bad news about the two brains. Scientists discovered that your other brain, the one that isn’t you, is the only one that gets a soul med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

If you read the Costco membership contract’s fine print, for every $100 they save you, you have to serve them for 100 years in the afterlife. This is still generally considered a pretty good deal

Pollster: Rapidly pushing the make-everything-worse button is proving unpopular among the electorate. Voters want to maintain an agonizing status quo where all things gradually degrade on their own from natural entropy

Firing the 10 guys that prevented lettuce from giving everyone diarrhea was a bad idea, in retrospect. But to be fair at the time nobody knew if lettuce giving everyone diarrhea would be a good thing or a bad thing

It’s politically risky to say that you wouldn’t touch the Mystery Beef with a ten foot pole. You have to diplomatically use phrases like “we are confident our beef is not made from any species besides cow”

Got an email from the supermarket saying that they track where all their meat comes from down to the individual ranch. Everyone is trying to distance themselves from the Mystery Beef

Few games actually have “fully realistic dragon physics.” They just mean they simulated wings and the fire. For it to be realistic the dragon has to been able to get kidney infections. The dragon can suffer depression
