every time there's a rock song that goes into the bridge and comes back with the singer doing the final chorus an octave higher than before, i recover 1d8 hit points.

this is 100% the face that every dog makes when you shout "WHAT DO YOU HAVE?? DROP IT!!"

if you make a joke on Mastodon, no matter WHAT the content is, after 50+ boosts people will appear in the replies that take it completely at literal face value.

you could post "a man walks into a bar, says ouch!" and if it receives 50+ boosts, then you will begin seeing replies like "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN STEEL BAR PLACEMENT IS DEREGULATED BY PROFIT DRIVEN CROOKS!"

this theory is commonly known as Eugen's Gambit. and i love it.

by the time i wake up on the west coast, there are already like 2-3 threads where Karen and Laser are disagreeing about something.

i use my phone's text to speech to play it through the speakers on my morning commute, and i pretend they're the local morning radio DJs with feisty banter to get me ready for the day.

none of my coworkers around the watercooler understand what Karen and Laser in the Morning is, but they know it's great!
