Apparently "Doing One-Armed Pushups like a Pro"

So, focused physical exertion.

"what to do when someone texts you an apple emoji."

I'm extremely curious to see how this plays out.

[–] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 1 points 28 minutes ago

β€œmaybe I shouldn't have texted that reaction to his apple emoji, but it felt right in that moment"

Just wait until bots learn how to write agit-prop. We won't be able to keep up with it.

Ok, so I guess I'll need to move to the USA in the future

Now you can avoid your death indefinitely by never going there

"Thinking before you speak" is an important skill to master for all kinds of situations. It can improve your relationships with other people and enable you to express yourself in a more effective way. Start by using the THINK acronym to decide if what you have to say is True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, or Kind. Then,

Should maybe have yelled "Don't Remove The Pole! The building will collapse!" But instead I was using the T.H.I.N.K acronym.

Celebrating Onam apparently. I didn't know that existed even, but it seems so fun it's deadly.

I spent way to long thinking it was "How to make Scorpion man miss you". Thought I was gonna get stung.

[–] Odo@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Yes, dying from the most dangerous of human endeavors: small talk.

How to run away from an abusive home.

I was already planning to run away from an abusive home.

This is horrifying

I managed to get this: How to Fire a Gun.

So it's at least plausible.

UUUHHHHH


monday


inhales

I like coming here.

In break times, i often get to see her, with her long skirt, her adorable jacket, and her soft, long, brown hair.

She is rather tall in her friend group, she must be 13, maybe 14...

It doesn't stop me for loving her even if i am in my 40's.

Nothing can.

It's not a barbaric attraction like thoses weird pedophiles.

My love is pure.

She's made to be mine.

"I want to be with her together."


tuesday


She just leaved the school to buy her meal.

Today she did attach her hairs into two braids, with ribbons at the ends.

She is so cute.

"I absoluetly want to be with her"


She seems to be alone right now.

"Is it my chance?"

Slowly, gently, silently, I put some chloroform on the piece of cotton.

Softly, purely, nicely, I approach her from behind.

Strangely, surprisingly, quickly, she does a barrel roll and a backflip, and face me with an assault rifle.

Rougly, straightly, immediatly, she say: "ladies and gentleman, we got him"

Painly, horribly, trementously, i get perfored multiple times by supersonic projectiles, and fall on the ground.

"aww man"

I just died trying to get a middle school crush to like me.


Guys don't call the police it's for the thing

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago
