this post still lives rent-free in my head tho
Screenshot of a businessinsider.com headline, as posted on reddit by user chrisdh79 in r/gadgets: Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters The headline is accompanied by a photo of a person using a tool on the rind of a large cheese wheel. Response from user twec21: Big Parma is putting microchips in people. The lunatics were this close to being exactly right

I thought the evil robot flipping us off from the Kodak building was creepy but jfc
The top of a tall city building with the word Kodak illuminated in red lights. The highest part of the tower resembles a robot, with a squarish body topped by a conical head. Two round red lights look like sinister eyes and some of the ornate stonework looks like two hands with the middle fingers raised

Even knowing it will probably be okay, it’s tough not to hurl when it’s your 73rd ride in a row on the emotional roller coaster
An illustration from the children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, with a drawing of a mouse in blue overalls, a chocolate chip cookie, and a red crayon. The title has been altered to read Please Give a Bitch a Break. In smaller text, it adds “I work very hard. I’m trying my best. I’m so tired all the goddamn time.”
