It’s literally not a meme. Not even “figuratively not a meme”. It’s less of a meme than Milhouse, and Milhouse is not a meme.

Whoa… I realize I am old now that the word “meme” no longer means “meme” in any way, shape, or form. It’s a totally different thing now? See: “Forced meme”
tl;dr: this is not a meme

That’s an insane thing to do lawl. If someone sends me a voice message in a text thread, I just say “you gotta type that out!”

Who upvotes this bullshit without even a lazy cursory check to learn it’s completely false?

I LOVE house centipedes! They can take all their million legs and crawl all over my house. I’ll even save them from my cats, as I don’t want the lil guys getting hurt! My cats can play with all the ants they want, but centipedes are too leg’d for me not to love.
We do occasionally get venomous centipedes tho, those I do have to kill if they’re in my house. Sorry lil dudes. I’ve only found one in my decade at this place tho, the rest were friends!
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 22 hours ago:
Ugh PUBG was one of the best games ever when it came out for computer. Full of jank, sure, but every time you started a new game, it was an ADVENTURE! I always landed far away from people so I could get max exploring in. I loved that there were tons of garbage items on the floor, like clothing and stuff. It made every time you found a nice gun or attachment feel AWESOME. Then as the round is further in, I’m armed to the teeth and driving a bike with a sidecar towards the action. Then I hit a twig and my bike launches into orbit, doing 500 flips, exploding on impact. Except the time it didn’t—I was driving and my partner was in the sidecar, we launched and did a million flips, and it landed without so much as a bounce (doing damage to us and lighting on fire, but not killing us!) I wish I had a clip from that moment, with our reactions.
Then PUBG mobile came out, and a friend of mine was sooo into it, and soooo stoked that he got so many kills and was so good at the game. I’m not a teen anymore so I’m not a fun-ruiner like I was back then; I didn’t have the heart to tell him he was playing against majority boys with bad AI, and the game has crazy auto aim for players.
The computer version removed all bad loot, so everything you find was guns, ammo, attachments… suddenly everything was inundated with loot. If I wanted that, I’d just go play a game with load outs! I want to have to hunt for good gear, that’s what made the game so unique for me!
Then PUBG went full on garbage mode. Removed proxy-chat, went F2P, and added bots. Fuck bots! Ruins the concept of the game completely. I uninstalled the day bots were added and never played again.
I am very happy to have had a few 1v99 wins before bots were added. My first win against 99 others happened maybe 50 hours in, and my watch warned me my heart rate hit 180. I’ve never felt that kind of rush from a game before or since.

Oh defo don’t feel too bad about that! They’re all like that, honestly, for everyone I know who has gotten one. The thing is, while they’re not like… La-Z Boi or whatever a big comfy chair is-comfy, you should able to sit in it for a solid 8-10+ hours in a day without it hurting your back, bum, or legs. My previous chairs were pretty comfy, but fucked my shit up after a bit if sitting. I’m also not huge and one had foam and one had mesh, and both got soooo flat I was sitting on plastic after like two years.
I also expected to sit in an areon B and have it feel GODLY after the internets told me it would be, but really it’s just a thing ya gotta adjust every setting to make I fit your body.
I adjusted the one I tried a ton and made it feel nice, but the Mirra 2 had a crazy adjustable rocking toughness, and you can unlock it so it rocks all the way FORWARD, and there’s two levels of rocking back—back, and wayyyy back. I do more relaxing than at-computer-work all day even when working at home so I went for that one.
I would kill for an Aeron when I have to go into the office. I’m sitting up a lot more there and lounging less.
- Comment on Tell me you're an adult without telling me you're an adult 5 days ago:
It’s my job and my hobby and some health issues, mothafucka, go judge elsewhere. I’m exercising again (only at expert level on best saber, used to be much better) but I need a place I can sit for a long time when shit’s bad. A nice chair bests bed rotting all fucking day
- Comment on Tell me you're an adult without telling me you're an adult 5 days ago:
Mirra2! I tried Aeron and wanted one the MOST, but I had a Mirra 2 next to an Aeron B and sat back and forth between them for like 15 minutes and finally decided “the Mirra 2 seems more… relax.”
I can sit in it for 12+ hours in a day and my bum and legs never fall asleep. My back feels amazing. The lumbar support is stellar. I love it so much.
- Comment on Tell me you're an adult without telling me you're an adult 5 days ago:
I told EVERYONE when I got my Herman Miller. I went through multiple 140-200USD garbage chairs. Now I have the best most comfy amazing chair ever and I love it so much and I’m finna get another one for my partner. Holy balls it’s so amazing sitting in a chair for 12 hours in a day and feeling AWESOME after.

I only skimmed a couple reviews because I like going into games blind. My favorite game experience I’ve ever played was *Ragnarok Online”, which had basically no quests or goals other than “be in the world and make a name for yourself amongst all the other godly player characters who sit around and chat wearing hats.”
No direction or NPCs telling you what to do. Move one map over to explore a new place and get one-shotted by a flower from across the map doing 5x as much damage per hit as your max health. Then come back after you’ve explored for 40 hours and kick fuckin flower ass for eight hours and lose a day of your life grinding and chatting.
I think Kenshi might be my kinda game.

Gawd I love drinking but I can’t do it anymore cuz very specific things (used to drink 10+ drinks every night for almost half a decade and tbh it was the best thing ever aside from the weight gain and the fact that if I kept going it would kill me) so now I’m just into some drugs I like.
It’s been ages since my last drink and I’m VERY lucky, I went from years of ultra heavy drinking to nothing cold turkey (in a controlled setting, no anti-seizure meds or benzos either) and no seizures, no withdrawals, no DTs. Just crazy bad sleep for a few weeks and then 6-8+ hours a night every night after about a month.
I wish I liked THC more, but it depends on the day. Sometimes it’s nice! It’s just about time for my tri-annual heroic dose of X, though. It’s been more than a year and that’s unacceptable.

Ugh yeeeep I feel you on salvia. I still have some 40x extract. I did it once and I hated it soooo much. I felt so weird, I kept hallucinating, the body load was awful, and I felt like I had flashbacks too hahaha.
n,n-DMT is the opposite of that. The body load is the heaviest of anything I’ve ever done, not even close. It smells like aliens. It tastes like aliens. You need to rip big rips three or four times in a row and hold it in to break through. Your body is SCREAMING at you to stop after the second rip. But if you manage… it’s the most actual legitimate magic thing in the world ever. Legitimately actual magical wonder. All of the jokes people make are true. I saw a color that doesn’t exist in the regular world. I can still see it in my mind and that was like 16 years ago. I don’t have the right crayons to show other people, but I do have a vial full of graham cracker-colored powder I’ve had for ages. I think it’s time to try breaking through again soon.

Nawhhh those are not actually psilocybin, so if you’re only looking for mushies, you’d probably not be as into those! All of the things I mentioned are powders you eat, except 25i which is sold as acid but it tastes bad, is a bad feeling, and can harm or kill (unlike acid)
I don’t blame your apprehension! The things I’ve mentioned are once-per-year or once-ever drugs for me. I will only ever do 5-MeO-DiPT again because my current (forever) partner has never tried it and would like to. None of the things I’ve talked about are addictive, but they are man-made. Mephedrone is the most evil man-made chemical. It’s like ecstasy you sniff and it makes you feel REALLY good, for a little while. And then you can just do more. And there’s no hangover! …until you do it a few times. Then it becomes the most fiendy thing in the world, ever. I’ve tried everything and the only problems were alcohol, Xanax (both were not terrible to quit, just a few days of feeling not great and getting bad sleep.) Meth was fine but didn’t me wanna keep doing it. Opiates were okay but maybe just not for me, they felt cool but the only good type I’ve ever tried was smoking actual opium, that smelled awesome and felt nice.
But Mephedrone… the final time I did it, both nostrils were clogged and bloody and dry and I couldn’t breathe out of them and ALL I COULD DO was look at the white pile in front of us and watch my mates take lil toots and salivate, thinking “oh my god I would do ANYTHING to get more of that into me right now”. It was an all-consuming feeling and thought, encompassing my entire existence. Eating it doesn’t work very well and at that time, I hadn’t plugged anything (put it in my bum) or I would have taken a chunk of it and gone to the bathroom. It was THAT fiendy.
I woke up the next day smelling of cat piss (Mephedrone reeks) and was astonished something could make me feel that way. I vowed never to touch it again—I kept that vow.
That was like 15 years ago or so. If someone was like “I have a gram, wanna snort it” I would 100% say yes absolutely in a microsecond. But now I’m old and wiser and know I can’t just have piles around… the other worst part is how cheap it was. Five, ten USD a gram in bulk, and a gram is a LOT, takes you way further than a gram of coke.
Evil, addictive, fiendy shit. Don’t ever do it. But it’s fucking amazing. (I feel like I’m in that scene from Walk Hard the way I talk about it.)

If you’re interested in a comfier trip, I hope you’re able to find them someday! I was lucky and just stumbled across them via friend groups. I’ve tried everything basically… my friends all seem to like the 2c chems, but I’ve tried them all and haven’t been a fan. I HATE 25i. Hate hate hate. I spit out immediately. Ptooey.
AMT is very comfy, same with 4aco. I was a bit sad when we came down from those, and usually at the end of a trip, I’m very ready for it to be done. They both just felt like really clean mushy trips with no shitting.
5-MeO-DiPT was the WEIRDEST time I’ve ever had in my life. Insane body load, insane auditory distortion, and my only experience with temporal distortion… we were listening to a song we were extremely familiar with and the song would pitch down, our bodies would become heavy, and time would sloooowww doowwwnnn like the song was being played on a turntable at too low of an RPM. Absolutely insane feelings. I was SO happy it was over when we came down but I was also very happy I had that crazy experience.

You might like 4-aco or AMT. Mushies have historically given me horrible tummy problems and hour-long waves of shits, but 4-aco and AMT are very similar to mushies and did not make my tummy angry at all!

Ugh it’s so hard to break through though… out of 10+ times with n,n- I’ve only broken through a handful of times.
The most intense 15 minutes of my life each time, though…

They were! I got lucky—I have some raspberry Pis and a dashcam, so I bought like ten endurance and extreme or whatever performance MicroSD cards mid-last-year. My partner was like “do you NEED those?”
“nahhh but I wanna have them as backups on-hand”
“Absolutely fair!”
Now while cleaning last weekend, I found a couple 128-256GB endurance cards and a bunch of 256-512GB SanDisk Extreme micros I tested for authenticity and put in a box. Looked up the prices now and… woof!
