Kind of, but if you're going to take liberties you'd better be good at it. Most of the well has been poisoned by either trying to turn it into a cartoon for a target audience 5-10 years younger than the original one and adding random bad accents, or replacing legitimate characterisation with bad jokes and reddit memes.

And of course, what happens when you make major changes to characters and settings which turn out later on to be completely jarring with how those things develop in the original. Eat your hamburgers, Apollo.

I am sick of loss memes. I‘l admit that they were pretty funny at first, but have you seen what they’ve turned into?
Ilegible to anyone who isn’t in on ten godamn years of injokes. Loss memes need to be retied, permanently.

12:05 PM eastern standard time, the Muslims have vanished. Check for yourself if you don't believe me. Where have they gone to?

There is speculation, of course. Scientists mention a cosmic storm that passed the Earth on January 20. A man says they are all in caves. Certain groups lament a faulty Rapture. A woman says he has taken their power and absorbed it into himself. She means Barack Obama. I doubt it, but he does seem somehow taller. The ground rumbles at times. The breaking news says WASHINGTON DC, with red concentric circles. I'm uneasy, but what can we do? Terror is defeated and if Obama were a Muslim, he'd be just as gone as them. There's no cause for alarm.

Within months, Barack Obama has declared a war on vague unease. It's a good idea, because frankly we could all use some peace of mind. Approval rating is higher than ever now that the Muslims had left, but I don't think we are happy yet. His eyes are shining sometimes, as a deer's eyes shine in a flashlight beam. Small fissures criss-cross the pavement. Trees are swaying, but the breeze is gone. Something is changing in our world.

Aeroplanes don't exist anymore. Scientists explain that the density of the air is too low to support their wings. Then how do we breathe?! We should have died by now, but I think we are evolving. Our bodies haven't changed, but the atmosphere..

One man says it was the rapture after all, and we have since entered the Kingdom of God. Barack is now the size of an oak tree. He sleeps outside since the rains have ceased, and his skin is thick to bullets. Now he wanders through he countryside impassively. He ignores a rural photo-op. He studies a leaf for twenty days. Only a fool would call this Heaven.

Satellites fall to earth like rain used to. No friction burns them away, so we trudge past countless flecks of solar panel and ribbons of golden cloth. It's a silent car crash every few hours, though cars themselves no longer run. No oxygen remains to ignite their fuel. Obama strides across the landscape, taller than the Freedom Tower. We've given up on assassination; all men are immortal now, and guns no longer fire.

I'm starting to wish the Muslims were back.

We found them with a telescope. Images of a colony on the right side of the moon. See the parts that jut from the lower right? I think they're mosques. Soon they are visible to the naked eye, but how? Their cities are enormous. We watch them as they live and die. They have our former atmosphere; the moon is fringed with blue. "Look at how they wield their guns," writes a man. "I always said he'd take our guns away." They eat and sleep like we once did, building worthless ziggurats. We have everything we wanted, but oh how we envy their strife!

It's long been clear that Obama brought this uncomfortable perfection upon us, but I can't bring myself to blame him for it. He's reminded us all of how our lives had been discarded out of fear. I know now why he grows each day. In time, when we are ready he will reach out into space. He will raise us up in his great hand, to this new Earth that gleams like a frozen star. And if Obama does not carry us, we can climb...

Anyone know where to find that thing where the guy continuously fails to explain what his problem is with being weighed in a pool or something and his sister has her hair tied together and he didn't want to shower? It's as confusing as that sounds.

A while back someone made a spiritual sequel to that one post from 2008 about Obama growing to the size of a mountain and sending all the Muslims to a new Eden on the Moon.

Most of it was about living on a dead Earth while the Boomers praised the economy, culminating with a mysterious figure descending from the moon. The Boomers set upon the figure, who shatters into pieces that fall to the ground. Millennials plant the pieces hoping to see flowers bloom again.

Does that ring any bells?

Big Mac is a cake.

DontMockMySmock posted:

A big mac has 9g sugar out of 219g, or 4.1% sugar. A slice of angel food cake, which is the first poo poo that popped up when I typed "cake nutrition" into google, has 15g sugar out of 50g, or 30% sugar.

augh

Stop loving making up dumb stuff to make Big Macs sound unhealthy, when a.) we all know they're unhealthy already, you don't need to tell us, and b.) there are plenty of actual facts you could be using!

There's more to healthy nutrition than "does this have sugar in it," and Big Macs are unhealthy even though they don't have very much sugar. This all should be extremely loving obvious to anyone who has even the most rudimentary understanding of human nutrition and the contents of a hamburger.
