One of the things I do when I get up to go to another room is check to make sure I have my phone. In case I get lost. This is not a joke.

I just tie a rope around myself and something in the room the room I came from.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I did this but I stopped after I got up to go to the bathroom and ended up in a park being chased by one of my lamps.

I have to be on my game to not be one. 😭

It sucks sometimes to be rocking stuff and change room "What the hell was I doing again?"

I have used "I am not a clever man" so often because of this comic.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same and for like ten years. Nobody has ever understood the reference in that whole span but the sentence alone is funny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this actually the original use of that sentence?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, the original is from the Judeo-Christian holy texts:

Genesis 4:8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Genesis 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

Genesis 4:10 “I don’t know,” he replied. “I am not a clever man.”

This is basically the second plot arc of Everything You Know Is Wrong by Weird Al Yankovic.

We've all found ourselves in the 12th plane of torment one way or another.

Clearly you have never been divorced

Indeed, nothing like a broken relationship to bring out the worst of people.

Can I ask why the mention? Ó_ò

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holey moley, sorry! I got no idea why I mentioned you.

... but now that we are here, I have suddenly the growing urge to get a revenge against a random lemmy user.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fucken with randos?

I have heard even amicable splits are painful. You rarely get married to get divorced.

If you're going through hell, keep on moving.

Make This A Movie!!!

I know the feeling. You kinda space out and start walking in the kata direction and next thing you know you're in another plane of existence. Happens to the best of us.
