advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Can't a man have hobbies!?

Many of you have been asking if I intend to step up as the next Pope. I wanted to confirm that yes, I will be Throwing My Hat Into The Ring. I have submitted the beginnings of my New Bible to the Vatican: a stage play retelling of the book of Genesis... complete with guest star Vriska Homestuck and Active Audience Participation

Don't look at me like you're also bound forever to the yoke of online arguing

Does anyone know of any other examples of somewhat popular internet phenomena like Twitch Plays Pokemon, Blaseball, and Horse Race Tests where a large part of the appeal is taking something very simple, interpreting what happens in it as overarching narratives, and making your own fun of it? Those are the only ones like this I can think of offhand

methodology

[ID: Five panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A grayscale person with glasses and an olive green person with a rectangular build are sitting on chairs, while a grayscale person stands at a lectern, moderating a debate.

Glasses: "...and so, you see, it is the failure to correctly interpret the phrase "touch grass" and subsequent urge to not only perpetually be in contact with grass, but actually become grass, that is the fundamental driving force of the autoverdephile."

Moderator: "Wow! It's no wonder that you're one of the most respected researchers in the field! Green person, what do you think?"

Panel 2: Zoom in on the olive green person.

Olive: "...

I think first of all we need to figure out what drugs this person is on.

Then we need to burn down every institution that allowed them to have a career."

Moderator: "Woah there! There is not need to get impolite!"

Olive: "Did you hear anything they just-"

Panel 3: Zoom in on the one with the glasses.

Glasses: "Hold on, moderator. There is a grain of truth to their chlorophyll-addled ramblings.

I am not on any drugs at this moment. Which is precisely the issue."

Panel 4: They proceed to sip from an enormous box of "hallucination juice" through a straw, with the panel reading "sluuuuuurp" in large text.

Panel 5: The alleged researcher, now heavily pixellated, says: "We may now proceed, friendly jellyfish creature."

Y'know that quote about "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

Also applies to queerness and neurodivergency

White people love to be like "I avoid Black people because I'm scared I'll accidentally be racist to them" and think it's 1) somehow not racist to do this 2) a normal thing to do and admit

it's not glamorous, but it's also not honest work, and nobody needs to do it

*beginning to suspect my roommate is a pulley* hey man would you mind picking up this big crate by changing the direction of applied force, thereby reducing the force needed? no reason

"Are you a Homestuck", no, I was like 25 when Homestuck debuted, so I don't have the excuse of the comic's fandom being a formative part of my identity. You're talking to a guy who has an original printing of The Starlight Calliope on the bookshelf over his bed; I'm something worse.
