I see two possibilities:

  • You get paid for posting this kind of nonsense - in which case then I get it, everyone has to make a living.

  • Your brain is actually broken

A quick run through your recent posts have shown that you're actually the author of some of the worst posts I've come across on here, so kudos. But I'm afraid it's now a "no" from me, and I'll be blocking you from now on.

20 - although that's regardless of the season. I only ever wear pjs to bed if I'm ill.

The one I encountered on Reddit (way back when) was more focused on occasions where slightly wonky translations led to funny results, rather than just making fun of bad translations, or the people who wrote them.

E.g.

  • The now-famous "Do Not Want" meme
  • The German translation section that included the Nazi flag instead of the current Germany one.
  • The utter nonsense written on a t-shirt I bought last time I was in Japan "Nither down on some it own american films the innocent sucker dupe speak to me blow-in baited onself because this way. Chiken just pain sent I hope come together up on the naked out-colling Rizy up road a little fat-man. BEAT SOMEWHERE"

It's like the posts showing unnecessary quotation marks on signs - it's not about making fun of the people who wrote the sign, it's funny because it now conveys something else.

E.g., a sign outside a farm offering Fresh brown "eggs" for sale.

I was about to suggest the same guy. His stuff is brilliant.

This is also an oversimplification.

Colonies were always rebelling. The main issue that led to decolonisation was that there was no longer the resources required to maintain these big empires.

Coal was more expensive, troops were more expensive, everything now cost too much to maintain.

It's the end phase of every empire.

Or something went wrong and they somehow seduced an entire nursery.

100% recommend these.

You can get remastered versions on Steam (Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are both excellent).

Simon the Sorcerer is also in this genre, very funny, and voiced by Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf.

I'll roll out

"What about the good things Hitler did?"

Well if you really don't have a preference for one or the other, it might be worth keeping an eye on the future.

People's jobs, especially expensive jobs, are going to be replaced by software.

So ask yourself:

  • What does an accountant do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?

  • What does a lawyer do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?

  • What does a doctor do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?

From where I'm sitting, medicine seems the safest bet.

Ah, so you have BMWs in the States as well?

They were doing so to find out which country you lived in, since you neglected to provide that information yourself.

I'm British, I charge my car at home, and on the few occasions I use public chargers, I interface with and pay for them through apps.

Knowing that you are from the US, though, means that YMMV. Your home electric supplies have significantly lower voltage than here in Europe, so home charging might be a less viable option.

They weren't being creepy, they were trying to give you a helpful answer.
