I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.

[thelovers-thedreamers-and-me]

in retrospect we probably should have given the fairy tale writing to the Brothers Happy instead

[takaraphoenix]

"average German fairy tale is full of fucked up shit" factoid actualy just statistical error. average German fairy tales are no more fucked up than others. Fucked-Up Shit Enjoyers Wilhelm and Jacob, who lived in cave & wrote fucked up fairy tales each day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted

Hey, remember me? We spawned into beginner village together! You reclassed to Archmage? That’s awesome, don’t you have to get to like, level 60 for that? …Huh? Oh, haha, well, no not really, you know how it is with us village kids. Dropped out of the main questline like, way back. I just sort of play to fish, I’m not very good at combat. I’m doing okay for myself though, I caught a Sea Bass the other day that sold for 10g! Oh, um, sorry, didn’t mean to— no, it’s okay, i get it, daily dungeons are like, super important. It was really nice to see you again

[beloveddawn-blog]

Heyyyy, it's me again! Oh, the dungeon? Yeah, no, it was fine. Pretty standard, and my friends are pretty good at them so it didn't take too long. Sorry for just running off like that, it's just the paladin becomes kinda preachy when we're late for things... Hey, I, Uh... Wanted to ask you a favour if you don't mind? I have been woefully neglecting my fishing skill tree. Like I'm SO bad at it. And there's this thing happening, and I need a special fish for it, and I was hoping... No, no, I don't need you to *do* anything I was just hoping for some pointers? 'Cause it's pretty far away and all... Oh, you do like travel? Just not having to fight? Oh. That's... Oh. Okay. Um... Did you want to... Go to the festival? With me?

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real: Nature.com

I'm a bit frightened for the time when someone less ethical than the person that did this decides to repeat the experiment but leave out the part where they come in later and announce that it was fake and people wind up diagnosed with the fake condition and all kinds of wacky hi jinks ensues.
