when I was 7 I wrote a recipe for "melted cheese balls" which was a random bunch of ingredients plus 3 tbsp vanilla. since all the cookie recipes I had read called for vanilla, I thought naturally all recipes should use it

anyway that's what chatgpt does
it's melted cheese balls all the way down

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

also an abundance of flat ice specks in this snowfall are picking up streetlights very well, I walked on an endless carpet of sparkling white instead of a sidewalk, I can work with that

thousands upon thousands of tiny ice crystals falling on dry leaves at just the right temperature and time makes it sound like the entire world is effervescing all around you

As @riversidebryan.bsky.social somehow guessed, the gentleman with this wild hair/atrocious wig was…Mickey Rooney, Jr. He was a guest on GERALDO in 1990. And even in 1990, that hair was…no bueno. He passed in 2022.

I mean let's face it Will Stancil hasn't given a personal thought to tampons beyond visibly shrinking away from them as he walks down the health & beauty aisle, no wonder he can't comprehend this
at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

I designed packaging for a company that makes kids' cough syrup. A big seller was blue raspberry, which isn't an actual fruit, just raspberry with blue dye. One day, marketing asked me to design a pack for "dye-free blue raspberry." I could not convince them how nonsensical that was.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
