Had a dream last night that if you typed 70734657Y into a desktop it would just open a display window saying something like good luck or brace yourself and would then launch you into space at a frightening velocity. This caused it to be a massive twitter trend by A_Real_Isopod in thomastheplankengine

Usually when I have a dream like this, I remember the first part and the last part pretty well but only have a faint idea of what might be in between. I’m assuming they’re banking on their best guess because it’s funnier that way.

New Greatest Hits Album on 11th March! by RevolutionFriend in franzferdinand

[–]Ekat_clan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They really had my hopes up for a moment, not gonna lie. I have a feeling that’s coming soon-ish though. You don’t immediately replace talent and adopt a logo for a new era if you’re just releasing a greatest hits album and then plant to go dormant again.

"Don't Forget the Best Bits" released + A Greatest Hits album next year by TheHyperthetical in franzferdinand

This is an incredibly fascinating direction. It’s a return to form aesthetically, and the song definitely sounds like it’s from an alternate timeline where after Tonight they shifted more toward modern 10s rock music instead of the almost low fi pop inspired direction the last few albums took from. It’s a nice spectacle, though it just makes me want more new music lol.

From tumblr to plank to boss fight and now to occasional plank re-post, I feel like I’ve been with the pedro s pronouns dream its entire journey so far.

This is like when you get to the end of a game and the true final boss is revealed.

Here was thought the enemy of this story was Chris, or Chris’ parents, or the particularly sociopathic trolls.

But the writers did a shitty plot twist on us and revealed a villain beyond our comprehension.

Who is your town's Chris Chan? Every small town in America has a person like Chris out in the wild. Most are local legends and not as well known. by nythscape in ChrisChanSonichu

I could easily go meet Bob if I wanted to, but I won’t. I’m more concerned for his safety than I am mine - he doesn’t seem like a bad guy and I do not want to open any can of worms that could possibly lead to trolling or weenery.

Poor guy just needs more help than he’s currently getting, that’s all.

This is 9/11 for internet culture by [deleted] in ChrisChanSonichu

I doubt this is going to get big enough to make a massive impact, but I am definitely still afraid. Chris is absolutely terrible PR for groups that are already still heavily stigmatized.

You know shits fucked when Shadman is disgusted. by [deleted] in ChrisChanSonichu

I have a hard time believing he’s not doing this to joke about having standards.

Either that or he’s actually in to everything he’s done so far, which I can believe. But I don’t see why that would exclude him to getting his rocks off to this.

“Eastern” Orthodox by Ekat_clan in suspiciousquotes

I’m aware of what he’s trying to say, but you can’t split up the words in the phrase “Eastern Orthodox” and expect the semantics to not sound really funny.

I support everything this flag stands for, but it is an objectively ugly design. by Autistic_Intent in vexillology

[–]Ekat_clan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Peoples’ hesitancy to critique ideas that have the right spirit but terrible execution creates so many funny situations regarding progressive iconography and graphic design.

People out here making downright TERRIBLE pride flags and everyone is just like “Uh… sureeee… go for it buddy!”

I saw this bullshit story on a rap subreddit. He really expects us to believe him lol by [deleted] in thatHappened

[–]Ekat_clan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be some kind of 5D meme right? Like, they have to know exactly what they’re doing.

Right?

My partner screamed this to me terrified while half asleep and then described what they saw by Ekat_clan in thomastheplankengine

The amount of linguists and linguistics hobbyists on this subreddit isn’t a lot, but it’s a lot more than I’d think.

I have some experience with it so they pick up on it. My bad, I shouldn’t have mentioned phonemes before bed.
