On another note, I wish we could copy tagline text in Jerboa

First time seeing this but I'm almost positive that cropping out the comment he's replying to to leave his motive for writing this as a twist at the end makes it funnier.

I didn't crop out the comment, someone just made this a tagline. So that twist ending is exactly how I read it, too.

My friend is having a baby in a few weeks. I'm sending her this tomorrow to show solidarity.

Fun fact, you can see all currently 1,649 taglines by entering window.isoData.site_res.taglines.map(t => t.content) into the console

This is the tagline you're looking for:

Bullshit dude, bullshit. I once ate a tray of 24 assorted muffins: blueberry, lemon poppy-seed, cranberry apple, banana nut, even bran. Large muffins too, like you'd buy at the bakery, not grocery store mini-muffins. I ate the first five or six out of hunger, and the next dozen I can only attribute to gluttony, but the last half dozen were devoured by determination alone. A part of me wanted to stop— I was full, the muffins had become repulsive, and there was a disconcerting pressure in my chest. The other, stronger part of me knew that if I gave up on that muffin platter I would admit limitation. A limited man can rationalize his every weakness, turn away from every challenge, live his life within the narrow confines of comfort; that's not how I live my life. But I digress. It took six days for my bowels to move, and when they did I shat a monolithic muffin block so wide it could not be flushed, so dense it would not dissolve with repeated flushing, and so heavy it took two hands to lift. The measure of anxiety, pain, pride and love is indescribable, so don't tell me I don't understand childbirth.

This is an amazing bit

We need more muffin satire

What a fucking rollercoaster. But a tray of 24 muffins would not take two hands to lift
