They called him Atilla the hun because he was a real sweety pie. Along with hun, we was also known as babe, sweetheart, and whatever other pet names his wife gave him.

Exactly, and I mean exactly, what it took to finally radicalize me into action. It's almost like I was a sleeper cell for shitposters.

Wife: *intentionally singing WAY off key and only well enough for the tune to be recognizable* Wife: I love singing to you! Me: Let me know when it happens... Got a high five for that one. Well, I self-fived, but that made her laugh, so I wasn't in trouble.

OK, can we please stop doing this "I have a wee pithy thing to say, so it's going to be a huge graphic with no ALT text" thing? Please? I even see news outlets and indie journalists do it. You can't filter it out with a word list. It isn't viewable by those with screen readers. Just type your shit.

No one ever takes me seriously when I say we should bring back guillotines for politicians who don't server the people. Is it because I pronounce it "GWILL-oh-tynz"? I'm saying that right, yeah? I think so. I really think I'm right on this one.

I console myself that, even if I can't use the word "clusterfuck" in an academic book, "omnishambles" serves just as well.

This is literally the reason my wife says "Thank Youuu!" after using Alexa. She says, when the inevitable robot uprising happens, she will be looked upon with favor for being polite. Her: ...that way, they won't kill me! Me: First. They won't kill you 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵.

Yeah yeah. Eat the rich. We're on board. But how best to 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 the rich? In my limited culinary experience, I am of the opinion that sous vide would be the most fun, because first you get to completely seal them in a watertight, thick plastic bag, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 you put them in very hot water for hours!

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

"It's genuinely amazing how little people know about Elon Musk." A Reddit comment that goes back, lays it out, brings receipts, and links to all claims made. Astonishing, honestly. Link: www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co... ps. I'm just a humble shitposter, but thought this might be informative. Enjoy.

My wife's dream is to be at a fancy schmancy party and a helicopter lands and someone is like "You are needed at an undisclosed location", so she hands her drink to the closest person, gets in the chopper and disappears into the night sky.

I'm going to start repeating "Hey, human!" to all the magpies around my house. That way, once they learn the vocalization, they can freak out every other person they encounter. My biggest hope is that they pass it down the generations and it spreads from flock to flock.

I love when people are like, "I have an idea so ridiculous, I'm going to pay for stickers about it!"
A sticker on a graffiti-d sign that reads MAKE THE GOLF COURSE A PUBLIC SEX FOREST! with various styles of cheap clip art of people in various poses. No nudity / SFW.
