Isnt the point to collect the things you like? And followers are just along for the ride?

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

the year was Two Thousand and twenty-five. I took a puff of my Electronic-Cigarette, inhaling the vapours. my mobile terminal buzzed in my pocket, a flat slab of microchips and glossy touchscreen. I ignored it....... probably another Electronic-Mail

The fact that getting put in the little jail that made your legs numb from sitting wrong for so long was an HONOR and REWARD and employees were fighting over it definitely says something

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

Nowadays, insomnia is the real shit. Our ancestors used to flop into the sack after a long day of moving bags of mud around, but now we have all kinds of new anxieties to worry about. It's no surprise that our minds can't settle when we've spent the entire day being screamed at by modern everyday problems like "emails," "taxes," and "the abstract concept of the hypercube."

To bridge this gap, scientists have developed Sleepytime Tea. You've probably seen it before: on the shelves of the grocery store you'll notice a box of tea with a bear having a gentle little nap. He sits in an armchair. He enters the realm of torpor, where no work responsibility can reach him.

A great promise, but one that cannot be fulfilled. No simple human tea can knock out a full-sized brown bear. In the interest of truth in advertising, we present to you: Extreme Sleepy-Time Tea. Rest assured: your ass will be visiting Little Nemo before you get to the bottom of the mug.

How do we do it? Pharmaceutical-industry cowards continue to argue (unsuccessfully) that we have laced them with a powerful medical-grade soporific that is just a little bit on this side of insanely addictive. We say: that's a lot of big fucking words, nerd. Maybe you should be buying our tea to quiet those huge brains of yours down. Here's one on the house.

So when you're at the store next time, think: do I really want to be conscious for whatever is going on around here? Then reach for the box that has a bear absolutely blasted out of his fucking gourd, drooling on himself in a manner akin to lobotomy. Extreme Sleepy-Time Tea. It's a fast-forward button for life.
