  • Your comment reminded me:

    I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.

    I’m just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.

    Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.

    It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.



  • I think the commonly accepted theory is that your brain is sorting through the day, through problems, through life. Even just playing. This makes sense seeing as how quickly humans fall apart without sleep.

    I was so tired once, that all I could hear was The Spice Girls Wannabe, and just the chorus because I never actually listened to their music, just the repetition of:

    YO, I’ᒪᒪ TEᒪᒪ YOᑌ ᗯᕼᗩT I ᗯᗩᑎT ᗯᕼᗩT I ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY, ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY ᗯᗩᑎT
    SO TEᒪᒪ ᗰE ᗯᕼᗩT YOᑌ ᗯᗩᑎT, ᗯᕼᗩT YOᑌ ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY, ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY ᗯᗩᑎT














  • I didn’t know the word cryptid and looked to the root word “crypt”, then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

    But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

    So I looked it up:

    Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

    Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!




  • I also wasn’t appreciating the word choice, but it makes more sense when pictures are included.

    Alongside the images, it becames clear that they are calling out the hairs-are-standing-up, bad-gut-feeling, skin-crawling creeper kind of weird. And I think it’s useful to point out this ick.

    (Also, I’d wager you’re the eccentric or endearing kind of weird <3)
