Random thoughts...

To randomly confuse total strangers, shout "I call plot twist!," then run for all you're worth toward the nearest exit.

I need to do that someday

I convinced a girl in college to order a diet water at a restaurant one time.

Deleted because wrong thread

Imagine all the money you could make selling “zero calorie diet water” to simpletons at an upscaled price lol

the lemming test

when I'm at a red light, I like to move forward about a foot just to see if
the guy behind me will follow suit...

most will and, if they do it once, usually I can keep doing it and they
will follow every time... unbelievable

My wife was out looking for good lice shampoo last weekend and happened to see a lady making a very conscious decision for one particular brand. She asked if it was any good and took it with her, the stuff worked wonders. No more carrying unwanted pets around!

Did Metallica steal the phrase "Leper Messiah" from the David Bowie song Ziggy Stardust?

They did. They also took a riff from Andy Warhol for Master of Puppets.

My 1-year-old brother learned how to hi-five earlier and started walking around the house trying to give everyone a hi-five. It was one of the best things I've seen this month lol.

At some point in my life I’d like to release an album of funeral doom metal called Now That’s What I Call Funeral Doom!

I'd buy that.

The best Uno occurrence ever happened earlier...
In our family if someone ends up showing one of their cards, the person who sees it is allowed to announce it. My sister saw that my dad (JcHiker76) had a green draw 2. When she said so, Dad replied "yeah, so watch out for it", and on his next turn he made her draw 2.

Anyone else hate when you see news that doesn't matter at all being treated like it's important? You'll see a report that a real life murder mystery was just solved right next to news that some celebrity couple broke up. The worst is thirst trap news. "Breaking news: this celebrity wore a skimpy outfit" like... How is that important?

Media companies aren’t driven by giving the people important news and information, they’re driven by trying to get as many clicks as possible so they make as much money as possible. They do this by posting sensationalist and/or rage-bait headlines (often designed specifically to piss off those on their assigned side of the political aisle), celebrity gossip, or pictures of hot female celebrities wearing skimpy clothing. It’s just the unfortunate reality, the media is not your friend and doesn’t have your best interest in mind.

Of course, it's just annoying when I open up Chrome on my phone and the auto-opening Magenta Portal says "Sports news: [Insert name] shocked the crowd with her barely-there swimsuit" like bruh I don't care and don't need to be thinking about that stuff

I'm in the top 20 posters after being here for a little over 6 months... as much as I'm glad about that it shows I need to get a life

I just realized my favorite Christan and secular groove metal bands (Disciple and Pantera) both have at least one glam/hair metal in their past (Lake of Fire for Disciple and Metal Magic, Projects in the Jungle, I Am The Night, and Power Metal for Pantera)

Those Pantera albums are underrated, although I consider them more or less expensive demos. The band disowned them.

Power Metal is the best one of those 80s releases. 

They still kinda had that glam/sleaze look going on, but the music had become much closer to USPM/speed metal by that point. Wish they had stayed closer to that sound or the CFH sound. I'm a huge fan of their groove stuff too though.

My 6 month old is wearing a onesie with a drawing of John Calvin in a robe and holding a staff. It says: “A Calvinist is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he was predestined to.”

Not to get political, but here's a list of the films viewed by President Reagan and his wife Nancy in the White House and Camp David:

Mostly mainstream 80s films with some older films thrown in, no real surprises aside from Inchon.
