When I read "once upon a time" as the first sentence in The Book Of Lost Things by John Connolly it blew my mind tbh 😄

"smart appliances" fuck u i want them dumb as a brick and incidentally as sturdy and enduring

"it has an LCD and an app!" that will be so fun in 7 years when everything still works except the dead screen and the abandoned software.

"so many extra features" so that's why it costs 3x more and has 1/5th the lifespan of the old model.

"4 year extended warranty" buddy where I'm from the dishwasher is a family heirloom and the washing machine helped raise us

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

real "we consulted experts in the neutral zone and these were their findings" energy there.

You and a bunch of other students are the background characters in a teen TV show and you all tolerated the main character’s drama long enough. In the middle of the main character’s argument with another main character, you blurt “can we please learn World History!”

You find yourself in an advanced magical fantasy world. You’re not the chosen one, there is no Evil to defeat, and the only skill you have is reading/writing the native language. One of the locals takes pity on you and offers you a job.

The reason people get abducted is because in the eyes of the aliens, humans are the most beautiful, ethereal beings they’ve ever seen. You, a tiny introvert with oily skin and buck teeth just woke up in a strange room with writing you’ve never seen before on the walls.

Currently looking into which of the batkids canonically took the name Wayne (just Tim and Damian) and theres some comments on what ppl think Jason should've made his surname and this popped up in my head

Dick: so what's it gonna be? You staying a Todd or becoming a Wayne?

Jason: actually ive decided on a completely separate name

Dick: oh really

Jason: im gonna name myself after one of my favorite heroes

Bruce, leaning in expecting "Robin" or "Batson": and who's that

Jason: im gonna be Jason Wonders

Bruce: ...Wonders?

Jason: yeah. After Wonder Woman

Bruce: *in shock at the feel of utter betrayal*

Dick, choking back laughter: i was gonna suggest "Grayson" as a joke and revealing it as a surprise to piss Bruce off but this is so much better!

alternatively

Jason: i dont want to be Todd and i refuse to be a Wayne
