Me when the dictionary lies to me and makes me believe the 20 words English has for "Decke" are interchangable. "A blanket? That's not a blanket. It goes into a case so it's a duvet. Might be a cover. Unless the cover isn't a blanket which covers the bed but a cover for the blanket. A quilt maybe?"

I guess I have successfully tricked the Youtube shorts algorithm into thinking I understand Japanese

I dress like my own grandfather but also Bióre face cleanser and moisturizer in the morning are the differece between "the horrors persist but so do I" and feeling like an actual person

I'm having so much fun getting excited about buying the most middle-aged stuff like a dehumidifier or a fancy tooth brush

My sister just explained to my mother that she gets me to cut things in the kitchen not because she can't do it but because she knows how much I like playing with my knives and I said to our mom: "It's the same as not pressing the stop button on the bus when you see a kid who's excited to do it"

I just looked at the Steam achievements for Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. I'm in Winter of the first year on the Switch 2. Already 50 hours into the game. The rarest achievements is starting Year 6.... brother. That's 300 hours at my pace. Are you ok? lmao

You'd think the normal reaction to the neighbour's dogs shitting in your yard would be to REMOVE THEM and CLOSE THE GATE before you start cleaning up the turds

If you want to disable this there are two menus. One under Rewards, easy to find because it's just the owl and then one under Drops. The one under Drops has the Special Event logo and is called "Sub for exclusive GamerDuo badge". You might have to scroll a bit for that one.

Me: Man, I wish there were a guide or a FAQ to this game.

Everyone: There is one... check the Discord.

Me: It really is too bad there's no guide or FAQ for this game.

People wanted to run away from Twitter. Complained all the alternatives aren't Twitter enough. Come here because it's the most like Twitter. Site moderation starts acting like Twitter. SurprisedPikachu.jpg

The language learning and fitness industry function in the exactly same way where they sell you on the idea that something that takes actual time and effort can be achieved easily if you just pay a subscription to unlock the secret minimum effort path.

I will never stop complaining about cartridge razors because I'm a software dev and these people invented end-of-lifetime and compatibility issues for KNIVES. This is insane!
"Oh you have to buy a new razor because we no longer sell these cartridges and the shape of this piece of plast-"

Gave up and finally ordered a dehumidifier with HEPA filter for my bedroom. Woke up today coughing. Condensation on the window and 70% humidity

The true horror is looking for a text, only finding a video and then it has NO voice over. It's someone typing the shit you are supposed to do into Notepad, flailing around with the mouse over things you are supposed to click. It is in 144p so you can't even read anything. Also chiptune music

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

There's something incredibly funny and messed up about having grown up broke because now my mom and I basically have reversed roles where I am extremely ressourceful and think "do I really need this?" while she feels guilty and says "You should spend 150€ on merch before it's out of stock" 😅
