Yeah, but they’re just thirsty by nature. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Kinda goes without saying. 😝

I wonder if they function any way similar to the mic/speaker polydirectional thing. 😅

Frankly, I think this is their way of asking nicely, “Please, take good care of this one in particular— or it’ll scream like a magic white boy jungle savior, and nobody wants that, right?” 🤔

Ooh, so scary nowadays. Much wow.

The Boondock Saints’ve gotcha sorted, then.

Fun fact: many of the sayings I grew up with are halves of themselves at best.

The ol’ chestnut, “Great minds think alike”, for instance, was originally followed with “but, rarely do they differ.”, and that’s a completely different message & tone.

“Blood is thicker than water” used to be “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”— the absolute opposite of the common usage these days.

“Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back”;

“The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese”;

Idiom truncation is simply a part of diachronic morphism… though, when the cuckernutters’re running things, systemic stupid reigns. 🤷🏼‍♂️😶🤦🏼‍♂️

“Viberose” seems like something I’d gift to a lover before a long work-trip, to keep them humming happily while I was away, NGL.

“Vibarus” just looks like a peen pill, but that vibe-coding Icarus probably needed one. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not the first time a 360-noscope was referred to as a “bubble pop”. 😂🤌🏼

That’s a different con.

You’re off the current quest path, but the devs were tuned for immersion, so you get a stick.

…if the people weren’t intentionally under-educated and manipulated en masse for generations to prefer illogical, irrational, and self-destructive patterns by their respective “government”.

FTFY.

Wasn’t that a Robin Williams flick?

Is it still shite, though?

In general, you’re not wrong, but you completely missed the point, friend.

You see a tortoise misnamed a turtle and you upvote? Don’t be part of the problem, please. We’re working against it as fast as we can here.

Downvoted because it’s not animated, obviously.

Is it the same turtle all the way down, or iterations of —and in which direction does it multiply?

TBF, that was the “most humane” way they seemed to be able to think of, back then. Not excusing any of it in the slightest. Just let that sit for a minute, is all.

At that moment in time, a sufficient number of people aware of this standard were ok with said bullshit —despite everything about it screaming no-effort Americana-brand snow-job (or simply couldn’t be arsed to GAF, sure).

FWIW: Edison filmed a fucking documentary of Topsy’s 1903 electrocution, the absolute psychopath. 😱🤮😭🤮🤬

(CW: animal abuse, murder, etc. Please be aware that it is gut-wrenching, and will likely stick with you. Proceed at your discretion.)

No one said stop.

Was that the time they were electrocuting elephants for science & lols? (fucking Edison) 🤮🤬
