I had a CPR class yesterday and someone made a joke about the victim dummy choking on a tide pod and the instructor got dead ass serious for about 30 seconds and gave a PSA about not eating tide pods, he was like "it's not funny your body will dehydrate it isn't food"

See I’m starting to feel old cause I never really thought it was funny to begin with...all these youngsters with their new fangled fashions....but there is this doughnut shop here that makes a “tide pod” frosted jelly filled doughnut...

tide pods are the dumbest meme

It needs to be over


To be fair, it was started as a dumb meme simply because of how dumb it was.  But like with many things...

 

Also, I saw this and it made me laugh

I was having a discussion with a friend about food and how I can get a whole frozen duck at the supermarket for less $ per pound than ground beef right now, which is insane.  Then the topic of lab-grown meat came up, and while I support scientific advancement, that still weirds me out a bit, at least in terms of me eating it.

But my own logic makes no sense because I then bought fried chicken that had been cooked like 30-40 minutes prior in a dirty supermarket deep fryer, thrown hot into a plastic container and left under a lamp.

I embrace the future

At work, one of the customers left an entire orange peel in the bathroom trash, and for some reason that was unexpectedly emotionally taxing.

Just sitting there in the shit room, eating the wettest stickiest most time consuming fruit.

Hey, maybe they were peeling the orange while walking past the bathroom, and just popped in there for a second because that was the closest garbage can?

Have a little faith in humanity.

In order to do what they did, they had to walk past another garbage can that wasn't in a bathroom. This was a sticky fingered shitter, there's no getting around it.

Somebody got 86'd from the place where I work last night, calling the bartender a ho, screaming about shanking us pussies.

Meanwhile I'm trying to deliver tacos to the family with children watching and listening in horror, wearing the dumbest hospitable smile on my face as convincingly as possible

There was a guy practically giving a superhero sermon outside the theater when my mom and I were picking up tickets. He made some good points about DC's movie failures until he switched the topic over to why he thought Black Panther wasn't worthy of being the first mainstream black superhero. I was so glad my dad wasn't there because he would have verbally pulverized him. The guy deserved to get called out and was, but if my dad had done it, that guy would be traumatized for life.

I was standing in line in a gas station to get cigarettes when a little old man tapped me on the shoulder, handed me a pamphlet, and said, “Jesus.” I took it and said thanks.

He had been talking with another old man in line about his arthritis, and how moving around is the best way to keep it at bay but ditch digging sure is hard on that daggum arthritis. 

What I find most compelling about this is that the man spent more time shooting the shit about arthritis than he did telling me about Christianity. Not that I mind or anything. I didn’t want a theological discussion. It just seemed odd. It was like that one word, “Jesus,” conveyed everything that he needed to tell me but some fucking joint pain needed to be talked about in depth. 

Another interesting facet of this interaction is that I looked like a normal human today. I understand being preached to when I dress like I normally do. I look like a godless heathen, but I was dressed to see a lawyer today and felt like I looked like a nice Southern Christian Lady™️. Maybe he saw through my disguise. Idk.

the pamphlet has pretty pastel colors though, so that’s nice?

you shouldnt have made eye contact.

its like in pokemon games where you minding around your own business but as soon as you make eye contact, prepare for your life.

 

maybe the man thought there was some hope at converting you but soon after he knew you were beyond saving.

So theres this guy where i work who is terrible at his job, and every time you try to help him along or suggest how to do something correctly he always shifts the blame: "oh, that wasnt me" and "nobody gives me feedback so i dont know if what im doing is right."

So yesterday one of the guys who knows what hes doing goes over there and tells him where things should be going. 

Well, he goes to a different leader and claims he is being harassed.

I threw all caution to the wind and, even though the screen didn't cover it completely, slept with my window cracked, and I feel like it's a nice day. People never shoulda stopped living in caves with the fresh air and the cave diseases, probably. I'm having a nice time pretending this is the start of a long, and gentle spring (great anime watching weather), and not the precursor to new and disastrous weather events I've never fully considered before.

I wasn't physically up for a 9 hour drive to Indiana, so I got the soap opera details of went down at my uncle's funeral when my mom got back. You'd think my family going through a funeral two months after the last one would be depressing as fuck, but everyone has been laughing for three days straight because of the unexpected situations. I actually wish I had been at the funeral to witness this shit.
