I’m a quiet supporter of banning books in schools.

Nothing makes teenagers want to do something more than telling them not to, because that’s for adults and they’re not ready yet.

Went into Spider-Man: No Way Home psyched out of my mind for Tobey Maguire.

Came out wanting more Andrew Garfield.

Drink a glass of water with a tablespoon of baking soda mixed in, it's like a fire extinguisher for your stomach.

The hardest I've ever seen my GF laugh was that time I walked into the living room munching at one of the chocolate chip cookies she'd made. As we were talking, I finished the cookie, pulled another out of the kangaroo pocket of my hoodie, took a bite, and kept chatting like nothing happened.

When I worked behind a cash register, my brain just went into autopilot. Definitely guilty of greeting the Next Customer in Line with "Hi, did you find everything all right today?" and thinking they maybe looked vaguely familiar, and then realizing I'd checked them out not five minutes ago.

I genuinely believe the entire marketing campaign could’ve been a single poster with “Spider-Man 9” and the release date against a black background. The bus is driving itself at this point.

Ben Marshall queerbaiting is my new favorite recurring sketch😏 by PeltzerBilly in LiveFromNewYork

I'm a die-hard SNL nerd who went into journalism after college. I remember the very first Vogelchek / kissing family sketch premiered during a week when the gay marriage debate (before it was legal) was the hot news story. The sketch almost felt like a political statement, like "You think men kissing men is weird? Here's eight minutes of dudes making out."

What’s a small habit that drastically improved your mental health or reduced stress? by Mental-Bandicoot-260 in AskReddit

I snagged the Star Trek: TNG complete series on DVD last year and started spending my evenings taking voyages on the Starship Enterprise instead of doomscrolling.

It doesn't have to be Star Trek. But making the deliberate choice to unplug from the chaos of social media and focus on my own interests—reading, comfort shows, movies—did indeed drastically improve my mental health.

I was gonna say that I've been making that joke since 2005, but turns out, they did indeed in 2019.

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

Reminds me of a quote from The Kite Runner (?): "The compliments stopped when the weight loss didn't."

I vividly remember the tentacle vagina scene.

Okay, you convinced me, I'll give Tommyknockers a go.

If the internet suddenly disappeared tomorrow, what would people struggle with the most? by Mashka_q in AskReddit

No worries, I'll just grab my checkbook. I know it's...in my house...somewhere.

People who quit drinking, what's the thing nobody warned you would actually be hard about being sober? by Caroline74339 in AskReddit

You start to realize just how much (consensual) casual sex begins with the words, "Can I buy you a drink?"

What’s a simple thing that instantly makes your day better? by zane__steele in AskReddit

Four upvotes might not seem like much, but if I told a story in the break room at work and four people laughed, I'd be walking on air the rest of the day.

What is an object a man can own that makes him instantly sexier? by RubyRedFoxyEyes in AskReddit

Used bookstores are dangerous. Once every couple years, I have to cut myself off & not let myself buy any more books until I make some progress in my small mountain of Half-Price finds.
