If you’re an American when you walk in the bathroom, and an American when you walk out of the bathroom, what are you while you’re in the bathroom?
…
European.
(By the way Jeff I promise this joke is a lot funnier if you read it out loud.)
Solid!
if european solid i think you need to go to the doctor
Can't go to the doctor. I'm American
Then go back into the bathroom
@givrally European yourself?

I'm from Ireland so I can approve this joke
Thank you. Here, for you:

I'm British, I'm stealing it
My precious gift :(
i’m half-irish half-british i’m stabbing that last guy
Wait! Maybe he will put the potato on display in the British museum next to all the other things they stole
GLORY TO MY BRETHREN
There is no glory in being stolen from your purpose and shamelessly put on display in a glass cage; to be gawked at by the public while you slowly rot. There is no glory in imprisonment, where your absence leaves thousands to starve. There is no glory in being a trophy when you are destined to be a hero.
Okay. Stab it is 🔪
@eowyn-igneelcheshire you know what? After reading your reply I don’t feel stabbing would be enough. Get in line everyone and choose your weapon:

I almost forgot to mention: this woman came into the penguin enclosure with a KESTREL??? I said “oh my god is that an American Kestrel?” and she said “Yes! She was outside doing raptor education for the kids, but she doesn’t like to get rained on.”
#she was watching the penguins with what I will anthropomorphically project as skepticism
kestrel: i hate rained on!!
human: here is birds in water
kestrel: ……no…..

I used to call in to my local radio station every day in middle school and request that they play the Kingdom Hearts theme and they never did because I didn’t understand how the radio worked back then but one day, one fucking day the radio host was like “for the kid who keeps requesting this song for two years straight, here you go, oh and by the way we’re blocking your number” and they fucking played it and beating the system was worth never being able to request a song ever again

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls
Time to take this post entirely too seriously:
- I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.
- When I was in college I had a professor who was an expert on detective fiction. He had a longstanding beef with the idea that "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was the first detective story. He thought that it seemed way too polished to be inventing a new genre, and also that the whole orangutan business had the vibe of someone subverting preexisting audience expectations and maybe engaging in a bit of stealth parody. With the help of some student volunteers, he went trawling through old magazines and newspapers and found hundreds of detective stories from the early 1800s that just hadn't garnered enough individual attention to be remembered. This was because most of them sucked balls. He created an online archive of them, so you too can read these mostly terrible stories.
