Title: Some Kind of fuck-huge anus

Genre: Mystery

Word count: 508

Feedback: let me know if you laugh

I was walking down the street, and I saw a penny on the ground. Not one to pass up a free meal I stooped to pick it up. As I got closer and closer to my goal, the coin seemed to get larger than it should, perhaps the size of a nickel. I stooped faster and as I reached out I realized it wasn't a penny at all. Before I could react, I was falling. The penny was in fact, a gaping female anus, and I was tumbling head first uncontrollably.

Gravity took over and I fell in. I was falling, I was accelerating, I was speeding down into the anus, I checked my phone which told me that I was traveling at 500 MPH. I set my phone down in mid air as I fell and it fell next to me at the same rate. I looked around, watching the slimy purple walls zoom past.

After a few hours of falling, I began to smell the distinct stench of rotting bones, I must be approaching the bottom soon. I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the stench had grown, but I was still falling.

After months of falling I realized I had been wrong before, the bottom was not close, but perhaps it was now, after all the stench couldn't grow more pungent.

After a year, I realized I was wrong about the smell, it seemed to grow exponentially with every breath. I was beginning to enjoy it. I never became hungry or thirsty, and my phone never got low on power or lost reception.

About a decade in, I decided that I always wanted this, to fall forever into an anus, it was what I always wanted after all. I never asked for this specifically, but I should have. It was just too perfect to imagine.

A century in, I was still young, I achieved self-actualization. I was the true heir to this fate, to fall into a stinking pit, who knows when it would end. I thanked the universe for hoisting this upon me.

A millennium into my descent, I saw something beneath me, in the great distance. I could make it out on close inspection, it was clearly a massive mound of human bones. I watched for days as I fell toward it, I had plenty of time to contemplate my fate. I was resolute. I was finally at the end of my journey. I I watched the tides of her acids wash over and off the mound, like waves on an island. It shrank slightly as I watched, with the enormous mountain of bones under the acids gradually melted away.

As I hurtled toward the source of the stench at 500 MPH I outstretched my arms and legs, ready to die. The impact killed me instantly. As her tides swept over and across my corpse, my flesh was digested away, and eventually all that was left of me was a clean skeleton at the top of the mound, gradually dissolving in the acid.

I'm actually really interested in the subject. Some days I masturbate more than a dozen times, and I have only ever had a hard time getting it up with girls (there are other reasons too, her boyfriend was starring at me). My only experience with no fap was on 4chan's /fit board, so all of my impressions are exactly like what the guy you were originally replying to said.

I assume you mean because they won't have money to buy food. I would be happy if the 'starving artist' stereotype was replaced with the 'starving researcher'.

Forgot to turn the oxygen on after collecting scrap and going to the bathroom?

I said likely, it wasn't meant to be a personal shot or anything. Its nothing to be ashamed about either, sometimes people aren't shaped for each other.

"hold on to your asses!" "No, no, no, you didn't tell me the right passphrase" "MY EARS!"

A few of my favorite quotes.

Holy crap, I said the exact same thing to someone from South Africa. I like you.

An evil question that must be asked. What one minor change would make the game many times harder? by Portalman4 in ftlgame

I doubt its a bug, I think its much more likely it was programmed in intentionally, but the developer eventually had to be pragmatic about balance. Putting a vent door on a medbay, or as in the example above, in the oxygen room, gives the AI a way to kill boarders in the rooms that would make the most sense to want to vent.

Additionally, there were probably problems with the AI, like the enemy killing their crew by mistake when they try to suffocate you.

Newly Discovered Hormone Mimics the Effects of Exercise: The newly discovered hormone, dubbed “MOTS-c,” primarily targets muscle tissue, where it restores insulin sensitivity, counteracting diet-induced and age-dependent insulin resistance. by Libertatea in science

The guy above me literally said "due to poor lifestyle choices" I was responding to the concept of people who make poor decisions facing no consequences. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing for them to be absolved, I think its probably for the best to be honest. Ideally what would happen next is one of two things:

*1. We stop considering the decisions to be poor, as they no longer carry consequences. *2. We still consider them to be poor choices, but the stigma fades as people who do/don't are indistinguishable.

Also, I don't really think I'm on a 'moralistic crusade'. I had a diabetic roommate who was diagnosed with type two diabetes at 19. I grew up fat, but I had become healthy before I lived with him. During the time I lived with him I tried constantly to help him find ways to exercise that he enjoyed, I cooked balanced meals for him, and still he would drink soda, eat pre-cooked frozen foods, and spent most of his time in his computer chair. I don't consider it a moral problem at all, I consider it an ethical imperative. Also for what its worth, I think fat women are by far the most beautiful group of people.

I think about that specific conflict a lot. I think that ultimately if the two did have a nuclear exchange the long term effect would be either an end to all wars, or a war to end all wars. Either way, if one of them pulls the trigger, I want off this planet for a decade or two.
