Once you know ALL of the Tell Tell Signs, You will Start To See Them More Frequently In Real Life, Just Like When You Buy A New Car, You Start To Notice That Same Car EVERYWHERE?!, Well That Same Rule Applies To This; Once You SEE THEM, YOU CANNOT UNSEE THEM, AND THEY APPEAR EVERYWHERE IN YOUR REALITY BECAUSE THEY ARE EVERYWHERE IN YOUR REALITY. IT’S A BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS, TRANSGENDER AUGMENTATION SURGERIES THAT IS,… HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHO THE CLIENTS ARE?

The comments are also… very interesting. Apparently Tyler Perry, Will Smith, Journey’s Steve Perry and fucking Messi are trans men.

We are legion!

“Transvestigation” is fucking insane and there are a lot of people who are convinced that many celebrities are secretly trans.

I think it mostly started with disgusting conspiracies about Michelle Obama (they literally believe that Sasha and Malia were kidnapped, even have specific missing children they think they are). Alex Jones and his ilk think Michelle was born Michael.

This was a thing that developed I think late in his presidency, then it expanded to several other figures. My favorite is Donald Glover as a trans man - I’ll gladly welcome Childish Gambino into my community.

It’s a serious “Q anon” type mentally ill worldview.

It gets to be 98 degrees instead of 101 degrees.

Bro - I was literally a fucking teacher during the peak of that moral panic. I spend more time every day with teenagers than half of you on this thread do. Every kid knew it was a fucking joke. A handful of children actually did it on purpose, and like every moral outrage/hysteria it became “teens are doing this wild crazy thing!”

Yes, teenagers do dumb fucking shit all of the time. It’s not the shit the media picks up on for the viral clicks.

The real shit teens are actually doing is vaping shady carts and creating massive group chats to bully each other with naked pictures. But that doesn’t sell the same kinds of ad impressions as “there’s a stupid TikTok video that when viral so we are going to assume this is a massive regular thing that hundreds of children are doing.” Talking about those issues involves parents having to, you know, parent but instead it’s gotta be about stupid shit.

The real “hiding under a rock” is being distracted by the newest stupid TikTok video instead of dealing with the things teenagers actually do.

Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?

Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.

> How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod?

Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?

You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.

Do creative people have viable paths to income that aren’t social media?

How does one survive as an artist or a small film maker, when there is no patronage, government funding for museums is constantly on the chopping block, and any form of art you make is going to be uploaded whether you like it or not?

Our society essentially has no paths to success for creative types other than social media - especially with C-suites deciding that they’d rather use the plagiarism machine to make slop than hire actual content makers and artists?

Making things like clip art used to be a job. You used to be able to paint signs. There was work for mid level artists. Now, your options are trying to go viral on social media/hunt for commissions.

You get this a joke?

Children were never eating tide pods either.

I have a Honda civic, which was sold to me with defective air conditioning, which was never covered by the warranty because fuck Honda. My phone literally overheats and stops working. I’ve almost had heat stroke multiple times just trying to get to fucking work.

My goal I think is to be a science clown. Balloon animals with a touch of biology, comedically “failing” at chemistry experiments, the physics of juggling. The goal has been percolating in my head for a few years, but now I’ve lost all sense of shame and feel like I could confidently fall on my ass and look like an idiot to entertain and educate.

100% serious. I spent like 10 minutes entertaining a two year old by failing to juggle earlier today and that was the most joy I’ve felt since November.

Just not looking for the low effort, Reddit-tier jokes. Wanting actual advice or at least funny jokes.

Just interesting that for all the hysteria about trans women going into women’s restrooms to rape, she’s remarkably nonchalant about women raping men. (UK law defines rape in such a way that cis women can’t really commit it anyway.)

Everything does honestly. I have unmedicated adhd I think. Been meaning to take some wipes to it.

“I swear to god” - for emphasis because it’s such an obnoxious thing.

If I could afford a phalloplasty, I’d go for 5” and be delighted with it.

The Harry Potter series is so weird about this.

It’s like a joke that a girl essentially tries to roofie Harry and gets Ron instead. Voldemorts mom drugs a muggle into loving her.

The early naughts were a little more aesthetic.

love me some Hot Dad

It goes clicky click in a nice way. It feels solid, my other keyboards are shitty dollar tree ones which have RGB for some reason.
