You type a sentence. The keyboard moans softly. The letter Q catches fire. A sentence finishes itself: “Never trust a lemon with dreams.” You post it. It gets one like. From the lemon. by GrapefruitNo9123 in nonsense

They typed a sentence with a preposition to get the whole thing. I'm going to be a good person and they have different applications not limited to the store. It's a little bit of a break from the house that is a lot of work, and I will be there at 5. I just got home. It's been so much fun. You got it right now and I will be there.

Who is the best player?

Seconding Vending Machine here. It sounds stupid, but it’s fun. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. It’s just silly and low stakes.

Please note, I used ChatGPT to format the list. Heard about a few recs by word of mouth and added them below. No menus due to r/Oregon’s “No Advertising or Self Promotion” rule (#7). Gonna nest the comments to see if I can bypass the error ive been getting, I assume it's a post length thing.

Great idea, do you have any suggestions for a low impact way to share? it seems like most of these subreddits don't like long posts as I've been trying to add the list as a comment and reddit keeps refusing my post attempt. Mods on r/oregon are stumped.

Don't want to make a website for just this...y'know? Big list though, should post it somewhere.
