Words are the hands of the mouth
At some point in the future there will be a movement to completely drop all computer technology for privacy reasons
Privacy services are sometimes hard to learn so people will just decide to go back to the old days. I imagine that it will be easier in a group.
There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat
I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...
The only feeling worse than "Why didn't I think of that?" is "I thought of that, but didn't do anything about it!"
A jungle is technically just a crowd of plants
Shadowrun mixes fantasy and scifi, so someone out there has definitely made a Comm-Ent phreaker/hacker character by now.
Comm-Ents running aerials in their uppermost branches of their head but nobody can tell ‘cause they’ve made’em blend in. Paranoia’s even harder to pin down when the “trees” can literally be listenin’.
Ignoring the movies, Josie and the Pussycats were a way better cartoon band than Jem and the Holograms
I just realised that this is not a painting by René Magritte (en.wikipedia.org)
"Virgin" and "Fucker" are both used as insults. Damned if you "do it," damned if you don't "do it."
Starbuck milkshake is like tobacco
Just realize: They call coffee, but unless I order black coffee, anything else feel like milkshake....
If one conjoined twin commits a murder without the consent of their twin, will both have to go to prison or nobody?
Golden retriever are the Volvo of dogs
The line in Super Troopers about the Taliban Warlord was in date, then hilariously out of date, then disturbingly in date again.

Skateboarding is just "The Floor is Lava" on wheels
descriptions of Demons and the arcane rituals required to banish them feverishly relayed by occultists in ghost/horror stories are a direct homomorphism to computers and actually how awful they are
Unironically....
Can we all agree to look up a local third party candidate and mention their name to someone you know who is also local?
I like ballotpedia.org but am very open to other resources or suggestions for how to get good info. Honestly half the reason I’m posting this is to start a solid thread of resources....
People were really doing martial arts under waterfalls for hours without a break, I stand in the shower for twenty minutes and my skin starts having a tantrum, getting wrinkly and shit.
Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife?
Saying 'completely turned my life around' is normal, but saying 'turned my life around 360°' (rather than 180) is stupid.
QWERTY Keyboards on a touch screen are still the stupid!
Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn’t make sense in modern society on modern devices.
Jellyfish are the storm clouds of the sea
In Star Trek, Commander Data is socially awkward because he lacks training data. This might be because he was built and developed in isolation from the rest of society.
I Am Able To Change My Race, Right?
This is from my last post, many people disagreed with my belief. Since people are able to identify and claim whatever they want to be. I am now a trans white.
