I’m just going to come out and say it: I don’t give a Kentucky fried fuck about the kids.

Virtues have been signaled. Two saints enter, one lemming leaves.

I know, I really don’t understand why people would take advice from a mechanical parrot. You’re better off throwing chicken bones or interpreting the flight patterns of crows.

The fungus definitely sits around all day musing “why walk when you can ride?” /s

I’m no fun-guy, but I don’t think it works that way. When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels. I imagine a zombie fungus driving an ant is akin to a person riding a Silt Strider in Morrowind—a body horror vehicular experience.

Instead of a family tree, you have a flux capacitor.

Ah yes, a life of rigid control and mandatory conformity. A great life, indeed. /s

Behold! BEHOLD! The birth…of a copypasta.

I thought you were against bangers.

They don’t say male because that is encapsulated in “be me.” It’s males all the way down.

My favorite is “I lived through the Cold War”, as though being a veteran of propaganda saturation makes them an authority.

And I hope we’re imagining the same kind of suckerfish.

There are new versions with extremely similar names.

Or one of those fish that clean the side of the tank in Chinese restaurants.

In my personal opinion, those folks need to lighten up. We’re talking about a completely fictional realm where there is plenty of fantasy diversity expressed in other ways, written by a British man who was born in 1892. Enjoy it or don’t, but there really isn’t much foundation to assume that Tolkien was trying to be racist with his literary choices.

From the Wikipedia article on Tolkien and race:

In his personal life, he was anti-racist both in peacetime and during the two World Wars.

Sure, we can throw in some black characters in new productions of his work, but judging the man by modern standards is just looking for outrage.

This is just a glory hole with extra steps.

I don’t know OP well enough to complete the meme, but I did work for Apple for many years, and several of these details don’t match their script at all.

Missing parts? The interior of that phone is one soldered piece. Just shrugging the question off? Apple people will talk your head off about the diagnostic test to sound clever. Battery swap? They would have been looking at replacing the whole unit because that’s how they roll.

This story is a lie.

Oh, cool, I just missed the memo. It’s too bad they can’t change the community name to reflect that.

Squid Game isn’t a movie, so why is this posted in movies?
