damn, i've picked up a wave of new followers who are NOT pornbots following making A Funny. so...hi!

i'm jay/charlie, nerdy 30-something, he/him/his. i don't always make original posts, but when i do, they're often very stupid jokes that make me giggle.

i write fanfic, which can be found here on tumblr or here on ao3, and is at the moment mostly for the horizon video game series! i'm most well known for my epic length WIP choosing life, i'm pretty sure. that's been on hiatus due to my irl being nuts lately, but is coming back this upcoming month! and i will be doing a drabble a day for fluffyfebruary 😌

i also sometimes do fanart, found here on tumblr. it's often more funny than beautiful, but i like to think i have a good sense of humor and i LOVE a fun cartoon illustration

my main interests are horizon video game series (current fixation), star wars, and dc comics. i tend to reblog any meme i personally find funny, so a lot of that too. i'm also a programmer in my day job, so uh. expect lots of good-natured swearing about computers.

i consider myself a very friendly person, so feel free to shoot an ask or a message! i'm still VERY busy in my irl though, so please don't feel bad if i don't respond right away

happy blogging y'all!

just learned that coke as in coca-cola as in the famous carbonated soda is canon in star wars and frankly I am upset

@jetiisse pointed out that the existence of Coca Cola in Star Wars implies the existence of real, actual, honest-to-god space cocaine, which means that not only does spice (fake space cocaine) exist, but it is in direct competition with coke (real space cocaine)

of all the countless products to make canon for the advertising deals, they had to choose the one that implied the existence of actual cocaine in Star Wars

I feel like everyone need to be aware that there is also diet coke:

and sprite:

and they’re in there cause they serve the drinks at galaxy’s edge so they made them a part of star wars.

which I think is the funniest thing to happen to star wars canon since they decided darth vader’s lightsaber can change lengths because of special effects inconsistencies in the original movies.

“Disneyland insisting that Star Wars land is canon accidentally made cocaine canon” is perhaps the funniest sentence in existence

Donna Lee Parsons isn’t particularly well-known in hardcore/punk circles, but she should be. She played a pivotal role in rock history. Before she transitioned, she founded Rat Cage Records, a record label that released the Beastie Boys’ first two EPs; she signed them at their very first show. Twenty years later, after Parsons came out as trans and the band’s meteoric rise to fame, the artists quietly paid for Parson’s gender affirmation surgery. According to member Adam Horovitz, since the men knew she wouldn’t accept the money if she saw it as a charitable act, they claimed they owed her royalties from their EP Polly Wog Stew.

[...]

So if you’ve ever worn a ‘lightning bolt’ t-shirt or listened to Victim in Pain or found yourself fondly recalling a Beastie Boys show you went to, you have a transgender woman to thank for that. And we should know her story. If you call yourself a hardcore kid, Donna Lee Parsons touched your life.

last year i was eating in a fancy, large restaurant when i began to hear a rumble and the distant sound of people chanting ‘potassium, potassium’ and suddenly hundreds of people dressed as bananas flood this restaurant chanting potassium over and over and we were trapped there for a very long time because the bananas would not leave and they were everywhere

i wasn’t joking

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

A good samaritan indeed

most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it

He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system

meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes

they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode

it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.

the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down

Brennan Lee Mulligan is enrichment for Sam Reich

it's a very efficient system
