If you go to Reddit, you will inevitably very quickly come by posts that seem to be from regular users, but are actually fill-a ads.

Funny thing happened and I just happened to be eating their food when I filmed it. We did a thing and it failed at other joints but succeeded at their place. My dog can do a cool thing with their box, etc etc.

It feels like they have an army of as people dedicated to creating this content.

It started soon after they got a lot of bad press for finding anti-LGBTQ organizations. Instead of changing their ways, they decided to change their image through social media posts and largely succeeded. Most people associate their brand with good times now, even though they don’t know why.

Much like whenever US police murders someone, Web gets flooded with memes and videos of cops doing fun things and being generally great fun.

They already run what seems to be every other post on Reddit, so why not streaming, too.

Looks like the person who yanked the blowtorch was the real unsung hero of this take.

Stable Geniuses. All that bunch.

We’re not blaming oil rig workers. We’re blaming the industry. And yes, food manufacturers and fast food restaurant chains (not farmers) are largely to blame for the obesity epidemic.

I once lived in Ankara, Turkey and had my family send me a cassette with the latest album of my favorite band from Gdańsk, Poland. Never got it and moved on (and moved out).

I got a message from my former neighbors 9 years after the tape was sent, informing me, it has arrived. (It was around early 2000s)

Uhhhh I’d so like to see that!

Googly eyes. Don’t leave home without them

That hall of fame Reddit thread where a guy announced he will try heroin just one time, then comes back to explain how the experience was and how he will try again. Over the course of many posts we see persons entire life unravel as other posters scream of the top of their lungs for him to stop.

Never figured if it was real or scripted, but hella effective.

Jeez! Terrifying. Sounds like something from It’s Always Sunny!

Great way of thinking about it.

Interesting take, but I don’t think I can agree. While typical American humor is often based on question-answer/punchline structure, many comedians managed to excel at purposefully breaking it.

Think about Joe Cera, John Wilson, Nathan Fielder even Jon Benjamin or David Cross. They are all very funny (it the audience that vibes with their style), yet usually avoid the idea of buildup-punchline.

For a more universal surreal humor you need look no further than the granddaddies of the entire school: The Monty Python crew. They often went out of their way to ridicule the idea of a punchline and were/are some of the funniest people in history.

(You could always argue that humor does not equal jokes I guess, but these were just my 2 cents)

Great example!

I feel like it stood the test of time. Was my top pick with Idiocracy being a close second.

Unless you’re into a wide stroke gestural drawing, large Wacoms may be unnecessary for you. My illustrator wife just sold hers in favor of an iPad with Procreate and Astropad.

Wacom pen displays have great screens and pens, but are unwieldy, loud (fans tend to break, too), finicky and run on weird drivers that may or may not just mess up your day.

Really bad experience for a product costing multiple thousands of dollars.

eBay has become the place for scalpers to sell overpriced wares, after they emptied store shelves. From toilet paper to graphics cards, that’s where the buyout stock, sell for profit happened.

Now even without shortages, this philosophy persists at eBay. Nothing to lose for them, free money to make on uninformed buyers.

Worst case they end up not selling and can possibly return items for full refund.

Scummery at it’s finest

I SHOULD GO.

Congrats, glad it worked out for you :)

Welp, we had Friday, didn’t we? (Last week there was an excessive heat wave that kept everyone indoors. Friday was lovely and then on Saturday the smoke came in)
