Why do people think that "flipped out laughing and SOBBING" is a normal reaction to that. Lets pretend the situation did happen. Any normal (we're well past that point) person would have just laughed and said "ok see you soon" but laughing and sobbing? Why the hell does everything have to be so over the top "are you ok" is the perfect response though

They're letting everyone know how funny and crazy their lives are. Their responding by laughing so hard that they were literally sobbing during the story suggests that the joke actually is that funny, even though it wasn't. It's just a lame as hell attempt to make their story seem funnier.

I could buy crying but sobbing is associated with grief and terror

I loving hate that Tumblr trend of writing everything in capitals. At least that “I'm so furious/sad/literally shaking that I have forgotten how to spell“ bullshit seems to have disappeared, thank God

What is the origin of the caps lock and why did it ever seem like a good idea? Is it a programming thing?

Caps lock ("shift lock") goes way back to at least manual typewriters.

Catberry posted:What is the origin of the caps lock and why did it ever seem like a good idea? Is it a programming thing? From Wikipedia: quote:The Caps Lock key is a modified version of the Shift lock key that occupies the same position on the keyboards of mechanical typewriters. An early innovation in mechanical typewriters was the introduction of a second character on each typebar, thereby doubling the number of characters that could be typed, using the same number of keys. The second character was positioned above the first on the face of each typebar, and the shift key caused the entire type apparatus to move, physically shifting the positioning of the typebars relative to the ink ribbon. Just as in modern computer keyboards, the shifted position was used to produce capitals and secondary characters.

You can just make something look like it came from Tumblr right? Like how there templates for other such memes? It always really annoys me when you see the comments just descending down the page in that nesting style and you can almost tell people are just trying to outwit each other with some kind of funny comment or some sick burn so that a screenshot of their crowning achievement will last forever on facebook.

Crossposting from the IOSM thread: This is a friend of mine from way back whose online presence has become restricted to his commercialized cosplay activities and defending himself from strawman attackers that almost certainly don't exist. If ever you tell him that maybe he should calm down and that nobody is sitting here judging him for his opinion on the Spiderman reboot or whatever, his wife jumps in and reminds you that WHAT HE NEEDS IS SUPPORT RIGHT NOW OMG EVERYONE LEAVE HIM ALONE. Behold the following exchange that is definitely a thing that happened in real life:

InequalityGodzilla posted:True story, in college one of the guys on the same level of my dorm had decided that he hated fruits and vegetables and decided that, since he was no longer under his parent's watchful eyes, he was no longer going to eat them. About 3 months after the year started he went to the campus health center complaining about constant tiredness and bruising easily. They told him to go to a real doctor because they didn't know what the gently caress. Any doctors out there? I know there are some lovely diets out there but usually it takes years of just eating cheese and bread to catch scurvy in a developed country. Even then it's rare because people will accidentally ingest small amounts of vitamins.

Catberry posted:Any doctors out there? I knew a dude in college who claimed to have been coming down with scurvy after several months of garbage undergrad-apartment living, and if his story is representative, I'd imagine most of these cases are more "some dumb kid who eats nothing but canned chili hears about the symptoms of scurvy somewhere, notices his teeth are feeling kind of loose lately, works on eating an orange sometimes" than anything really life-threatening, and I completely buy that dumb college kids with terrible diets are giving themselves minor vitamin deficiencies. The guy I knew was definitely clueless enough to do it.

One of the Penny arcade guys got scurvy from eating like a goon iirc (at least he wrote that he got scurvy).

If someone in the modern era in a first world country is claiming to have scurvy, chances are great that they were just browsing webmd and saw a couple symptoms that matched what was wrong with them and they went with it. Some people go with colon cancer to freak out about, some people go with the funny sounding ones like scurvy.

The amount of Vitamin C necessary to prevent scurvy is so tiny that the majority of people accidentally prevent themselves from getting it. You have to have the gooniest, spergiest diet (like a 19th century sailor eating nothing but salt pork and hardtack for months on end) to be deficient.

I had to be out of the country for three months to get surgery in the US (weird insurance thing) and was the only one who really cooked in my two-goon house. My partner got doctor-diagnosed scurvy towards the end of my stay just from eating like crap so I absolutely believe the common goon is capable of clinical scurvy. eta: I made fun of him relentlessly for this and he eats healthfully more frequently now (and takes a vitamin c supplement) uranium grass has a new favorite as of 19:08 on Apr 14, 2017 |
