Reading out reddit stories must be such a hard job bc I know if it was me I'd be saying "this is so fucking fake" ever 5 seconds and ruining the emersion for everyone
The comment sections on those videos are also always great as one person will bravely point out how fake one or two of the stories sound and someone will always ask "why would they do that tho? why would someone write a fake story? what would be the point?" like people havent constantly been lying on the Internet since it was first created sometimes lying is fun
With all this in mind my favourite obviously fake reddit story I heard today was "I went onto my wife's computer and found out she's secretly stalking / purposly turning herself into my toxic ex" Mostly bc I desperately want the next update to be "Turns out it was all part of my toxic exs scheme the whole time, my wife never loved me she was in cahoots with my ex, my ex is so toxic she wanted to keep fucking with me"
some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.
Video links are broken, but I wanted to clarify:
afterbonus:

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.
you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"
Teach your children how to deal with emotions in a constructive way. I wish I had done this with my children.
I’ve seen the Ursula K LeGuin quote about capitalism going around, but to really appreciate it you have to know the context.
The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. All is well.
Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead in the eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.”
She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable”. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”
Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire will fall. And I will help it along.”

i've seen this post before, but now it's taken on a whole new meaning for me, because over the past few days i think the one thing we've established is that on this site plushies are apparently universal
so when i'm reading the notes of that post now and see people saying shit like "I'M A GROWN-ASS ADULT (20) AND I SLEEP WITH PLUSHIES, FUCK Y'ALL IF YOU SEE THIS AND SAY I'M CRINGE"
like... literally who are you talking to
there are a lot of people out there who would judge you for sleeping with stuffed animals after a certain age, so never let anyone tell you that you should be ashamed for it
but none of them are on tumblr
this post is the ultimate reblog bait and i'm pretty sure it was by accident
That gazebo is so fucked
Are you sure gazebo is the correct word?
Are
you
sure?
idk why you’re confused, that poor gazebo needs help
This has hit my dash three times… that final reblog made it worthy.
I only liked this for the gif
You cannot call for help, you must face the gazebo alone
