#funny storage puns

have you seen ticinoteuthis chuchichäschtli the tintenfischart

«Zuerst haben wir uns überlegt, die Art nach einem Kollegen zu benennen», sagte Christian Klug vom Paläontologischen Institut der UZH gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur Keystone-SDA. «Aber das Fossil ist so unansehnlich, dass wir das niemandem antun wollten.» Stattdessen tauften sie den Tintenfisch deshalb auf den Namen «Ticinoteuthis chuchichaeschtli».

now you have :)

Oooh I didn't know that was called "ghost reading" in English!

French terminology has similar but different library ghosts: in some libraries, when a book is loaned out, you put a placeholder in its spot. The exact thing can vary, you can use paper or plastic dividers, signs or stickers, fake books or a carboard box of the same approximate size if you need to fill the space to keep your shelf items standing up, whatever. And it's called a ghost (fantôme)!

Conversely, French-language libraries often also have Hell (l'enfer/les enfers) (the staff-only storage area used to keep the less-requested documents, to collect on demand, in order to free up shelf space for more popular titles in the public area; often down in the basement).

nearly all libraries have a ghost, but medical libraries frequently have a ghost and a skeleton

SFW tfp Knockout core head canons? If your still doing headcanons of course. Totally not a Knockout simp here. Lol.

ah yes. core headcanons.

hehe jk I gotchu! ;3c

Hopefully these are to your liking! As much as I love this fruity car, I tend to avoid writing him because he's just a complex individual and I'm scared of mischaracterizing him! >.< But I think I did these pretty well. Also threw in some Breakdown because he needs more love! Thank you for the request!!

(CW: Minor fearplay, flirty dialogue, human/cybertronian, GN reader, vore obvs, brief disgust at said vore (idk if I need to say all this but thought I'd better be safe than sorry))

-At first he would be totally disgusted, to be honest. Assuming you are a human, he would NOT be keen on having one of you gross little aliens in his internal tanks. What if you give him some kind of injury, make his stomach hurt, or give him bad breath?

-Don't get me wrong, he's a big fan of all things morbid and weird, but that doesn't mean he wants them happening to HIM.

-But as time goes on after you or whoever brings it up, he definitely thinks about it. A lot. A lot more than someone disgusted of it should.

-Suddenly the idea becomes a lot more cute and endearing than he once supposed.

-He might even like the idea of having Breakdown swallow you instead to observe the experience medically and figure out whether or not you'd cause a bug in his systems. Definitely not because he thinks his conjux interacting with such a tiny little thing is cute. And his little belly pouch is cute. Totally not.

-One day he'd simply be too curious to not try. Besides, at this point he's already accepted the fact that he's grown attached to one of those little squishy vermin, so why not toss them a bone. He's self aware enough to know how he feels, unlike some. (Starscream)

-He would SO tease you about it. Like incessantly. Like nonstop. Like it's getting annoying and infuriating. And he's making really shitty puns about it too. let's hope you can survive his cringepocalypse

-Expect a nice long bath as well, since he's a clean freak and refuses to get any earth gunk in his tanks. But he'll make it nice for you, almost like a spa. Ruffling your soapy hair with his claws and dousing you in warm water. You look like an adorable wet cat to him.

-After he dries you off with a plush towel, he probably gives you a little lick or a kiss before putting you in his mouth. Just because.

-"You fleshies have the strangest fascinations… But fantastic tastes."

-(yes another horrible pun)

-He'd swallow you up quickly, but might prolong you going down his throat. You can't deny he's a bit of a sadist, and might think its funny or cute to make you think you might suffocate 😭 sorry

-As much as he was disgusted and weirded out at first, any fear of him being still grossed out is washed away by how loud this boy PURRS. His engine is very happily rumbling and it's loud enough to be heard by any mechs around him. A very happy camper indeed.

-When you make it to his stomach, it is very cozy. Warm and just big enough to have room to breath and shift as you please. Dim red biolights give it a lovely atmosphere and allow you to see yourself and the surroundings a bit. There's a very shallow amount of energon and digestive fluids at the bottom, but it's bubbly like a soda and smells like a rich spice you can't quite name.

-Maybe he drank something to make it smell better. Maybe not. He won't tell you.

-He's a lot more mellow with you tucked away in his storage tanks. Still sassy as ever, but slightly sleepier and nicer. If he could ignore work and just cuddle up in his own berth, he would. It's a very comforting full feeling that you can't quite get with just energon.

-You aren't coming out for a while. Not even if you want to. He found a new thing he likes, and he couldn't care less if you're getting bored. He sure isn't! Besides, you've got plenty teasing banter to enjoy, especially if Breakdown decides to stick around.

-Cheesy pet names are already his bread and butter, but I think after this its going to be even worse. Many more food related ones, to be specific. Morsel, cupcake, snack, crumb, honey, sugar cookie, pumpkin… The list goes on.

-And as embarassing as all of these might be, you can just as easily get him back by massaging the sides of his tank. The first time you tried, he nearly doubled over from the weirdly ticklish sensation. He will be purring so loud you go deaf, but just make sure you don't catch him off guard while talking to Megatron. He can NOT be purring and giggling on the job. And you'll definitely regret it later.

FAQs on Using Pocket Dimensions:

What is a pocket dimension?

A portable dimension that acts as your personal pocket. Also known as hammerspace. It’s simple, really. Intuitive, almost. Ignore that it breaks the rules of physics. I’ve never been good at physics. 

Are people born with pocket dimensions?

Are people born funny? Are people born with terrible puns? Are people born with the useless ability to mimic your favourite character from your mom’s shitty afternoon sitcoms? Yes, some people are born with pocket dimensions. Just like some people are born with superpowers that actually do something.

What do you use pocket dimensions for?

My trainer Spectre will tell you she uses it to:

Transfer damage from one place to another

Store important documents

Store weapons and first aid materials for her hero colleagues

Keep books. She has a bookshelf in her dimension. Organised by colour instead of genre or title or whatever because she’s crazy. But it’s her dimension so she can do whatever she wants

Keep spices and seasonings (you never know when a restaurant runs out of chili oil)

I will tell you I use it to:

Vacuum rooms

Store laundry 

Hide Pride merch

Keep painkiller meds as they’re always handy to have around

Hide earpieces so there is no evidence of my friend helping out the rebels (long story)

Keep my friend’s gun (long story)

Keep nothing in it so when you get trapped in a closet by a bully in a non-homophobic way you can’t do much about it (another long story)

My new mentor Tachythanatous, the (former) supervillain, will tell you to use it to:

Make smoothies

Blend bananas

Squeeze oranges

Impress girls (note: this works)

Store ice cream

Knead dough 

Keep bread in its freshest state because his favourite bakery was destroyed after the war and he misses their sourdough

What can’t you use pocket dimensions for?

Laws of physics say you can’t destroy or create mass. You can just rearrange it. So you can’t magically destroy debris with your mind. You can try to crumple it into dust, and it will probably crumble into dust, but you can’t magic the dust away and turn it into nothing. It’s impossible. 

What happens if you try to destroy debris with your mind?

You die.

What happens if you accidentally fall inside your dimension?

You die, because you can’t control it. You’re lost in yourself. It’s a paradox. 

What happens if you store more than you’re capable of?

You die. And everything explodes outwards.

Outwards?

Listen, I’ll rather not talk about it. It’s not pretty imagining torn up passports and bandages and books drenched in chili oil.

What do pocket dimensions look like?

Depends on the user. Generally it looks like whatever you imagine a pocket dimension to look like. You can make it starry. You can make it pitch black. You can make it look like a kaleidoscope. 

What do pocket dimensions feel like?

It’s your personal storage, so it can be whatever you like. It can be sterile. It can be warm. It can be room temperature. It can be under zero degrees so you can store ice for the summer. 

You can freeze water in pocket dimensions?

Yes! It’s a fun party trick. Tricks people into thinking you’re an ice manipulator (not that you’ll ever be as cool as them). 

It’s also harmless. Ice is just water. Water is just ice. Nothing bad happens if you lose control. It’s not like you’ll accidentally shred your important documents or break your salt shaker or smash a cactus that inexplicably fell into your pocket on the first day of school and all the kids laugh and call you “Plant Smasher” because they’re mean.

It is water. Just water. Hurts no one and no one can hurt it. 

How do you impress girls with your pocket dimension?

Well, maybe girls like those soft butter cookies that crumble at the slightest touch. And maybe girls will find it charming when you carry them inside your dimension without shattering them, hence proving your competency.

And maybe girls have guns that you can keep for them.

How do you impress your mom with your pocket dimension?

Listen, moms always like it when you do chores. Use it to suck up dust from the floor. Take out the trash because you’re the only guy in the household. You can’t fight so you might as well do something domestic. Maybe it’s not badass, but you get to be lazy, and that’s good enough. 

How do you get better at using your pocket dimension?

Trial and error, baby! Just don’t push yourself too far or you’ll explode. Also helps to have a trainer who has the same powers and knows exactly what you’re going through. If, for some reason, your trainer overexerts herself and gets stuck in a coma, she’s probably left you some indecipherable notes and that’s probably the only thing you have left of her. 

If you’re really lucky, the saviours of the city will take pity on you and try to coax out your ability in wacky ways. You’d have to survive their nonsense, though. 

How do you become a fighter?

Err… not exactly my area of expertise! I guess you can use your pocket to store weapons, bombs, fireballs, tornados, whatever those elemental guys do. Then you release them to the appropriate target. I guess.

How do you become less of a loser?

Tach is very excited about pocket dimensions. If you tell him pockets are supposed to store shit and not destroy shit, he’ll tell you a story about a door. (Not a doormat, which I have been frequently compared to.) Specifically, a push-to-open door. One day, the door discovers it can be pulled to open. Does this make it a worse push-to-open door? No, it just makes it a better door because it has an extra function. And it swings both ways. Everything is better if they swing both ways. If you get better at intentionally destroying things, you’ll get better at intentionally storing things. They say it’s like a muscle. No matter which way you exercise, you’re still exercising it. 

Maybe this will make you feel better.

How do you save your friends?

By… being smart and not risking your life! You are not an orphan girl with unawakened powers of mind control that you can use to save your best friend / love interest. That is not a thing that happens in real life. Don’t be stupid.  

What happens if you accidentally fall inside your dimension?

You asked this one before. Putting the “frequently” in “frequently asked questions”, aren’t you—

What happens if you accidentally fall inside your dimension?

As I said, please refer to Question 6 of—

What happens if you accidentally fall inside your dimension?

…

What happens if you accidentally fall inside your dimension?

You die.

What happens if you die?

You die! That’s the end. This is not a good way to go. In fact, it’s a fucking terrible way to go. Great fucking job. I guess someone didn’t read these FAQs thoroughly.

Am I scared?

I dunno. You’re supposed to be.

Am I dying?

I don’t know. Yes. No. You’re still here asking questions. 

Am I? Am I? Am I? 

Okay buddy, hold it. I know things get really wonky once you lose control but—

Am I terrified? Am I crying? Am I forgotten? Am I lost? Am I disconnected? Am I abandoned? Am I hated? Am I pathetic? Am I gone? Am I a loser and a complete failure at everything who can’t even save his own goddamn life?

Please, I need you to calm down.

Am I still me? Am I still me? Am I still me?

You are still you. You have always been you.

Can you save me?

I will try. I promise you, I will always try.

How can you save me?

Anchor yourself to the real world, the one you live in, not the one you’re in control of. Anchor yourself to the world that shaped you, not the world you shape. You cannot lose yourself here. Think of your connections to the outside world. They’ll pull you out of your self-imposed spiral. 

How do I anchor myself?

I’d like to hear a memory.

Do you remember when I came back home in the summer and bought my middle sister the pink pair of sneakers she’d always wanted, but she said I wasn’t the same brother anymore? 

I remember.

Do you remember when I tried to help Mom carry something but I tripped and broke it instead? And she got mad and wondered how the hell was I training to be a hero?

I remember.

Do you remember when I got snarky and pissed off someone so I was tied up and locked inside a closet for hours and hours? Do you remember the dark? The headache? The steadfast belief that my friends would save me? The relief when they actually did?

I remember.

Do you remember when I fainted during orientation because a cactus fell into my pocket dimension and everyone laughed at my misery? Do you remember the first taste of disillusionment, the warning that I didn’t belong here and never, ever would? 

I remember.

Do you remember when the Mutants destroyed my childhood home and I was forced to move away? Do you remember losing it all? Do you remember the sketchbooks, trading cards, board games, action figures, plushies, crayons, books? Do you remember?

I remember. 

Do you remember the storm that flooded the playground I grew up with? Do you remember when they took it down? Do you remember when I cried?

I remember.

Do you remember the long nights I stayed up staring at the ceiling, trying not to think about everything that is lost and gone, the bridges that grew rusty, the memories clouded with time, the torn-down places, the end of my childhood? Do you remember mourning all the jagged fragments I could never keep in my pocket? Do you remember trying to forget because it would hurt less? Do you remember the endless distractions because moving on feels better than dawdling? 

I remember. 

Do you remember not feeling at home with my family, but also not feeling at home at school? Forever stuck between two worlds? Swinging both ways, but never belonging in either one?

I remember. 

Do you remember when I was shaking with rage, never knowing how to be angry, and Mom looked at me in the way she used to look at my shitty father?

I remember.

Do you remember the look on Lyra’s face when she replaced me as the bottom rank for the first time? 

I remember. 

I’d like to hear a soft memory now.

I remember.

Do you remember when I was picked by Bale and Tach and how my team got first place in that exam?

I remember. 

Do you remember the hazy summer days, ice skating with Reina, drinking cheap soda instead of those expensive bubble teas the posh kids buy?

I remember.

Do you remember the eternal struggle in physics class, how that blond boy took pity on me and let me share his calculator, and how he became one of my best friends?

I remember.

Do you remember falling flat on the ground and breaking my nose, only for Cora to patch it up even though she was tired?

I remember.

Do you remember her? Do you remember her? Do you remember her hand in mine? Do you remember how my roommate dragged me to the infirmary on the first night even though she knew nothing about me? Do you remember her smile, her laughter, her blush? Do you remember that rainy day, the tilt of an umbrella, the ghost of a kiss? Do you remember? And do you remember how it ended? 

I remember. 

Do you remember how it felt on the podium? How it feels to finally win something? How it feels to be finally recognised? How it feels to have people looking at you in awe, not contempt? How sweet the underdog victory is? Do you remember hope? Do you remember joy? And do you remember the fall?

I remember.

Do you remember?

I believe I remember. 

Do you remember how it feels? Do you remember how it feels to be me?

…

Hello?

Hi. I think I’m… free?

Are you feeling better?

I suppose so. I’m still alive. I haven’t discombobulated into atoms. That’s not bad. 

Are you in charge now?

Wait. Wait wait wait. You’re the one asking questions. Why— what— how— no. No. No. I cannot ask questions anymore. I physically cannot ask anything. I am not in charge. No!

Are you the one answering questions?

Yes! No! Fuck! I don’t know! I’m not qualified for this. 

Are you capable of this role?

No! I just— I just escaped from a near death experience, man! I think I deserve a breather.

Are you happy that you can answer? Are you happy that you are no longer the pupil, but the tutor? Are you happy?

Well. I mean… I guess I know more than before. That’s something, I suppose.

I can’t forget the past and I can’t let it define me, but I will carry bits of it with me to the future. My memories are what make me, well, me. And I will carefully store them— the good, the bad, the ugly. 

Can you look at the sky?

Looking. What am I supposed to— no. Statements now. Answers now. Um. I am looking at the sky.

Tell me, what do you see?

The sky, wide and endless and constant, eternal and unchanging, something that I can never break apart and store for myself. The sky, blue and purple and pink, beautiful and untouchable.

Do you like it?

…

Do you miss the sky?

…

Do you miss the earth? The solidness of the ground beneath your feet? The blinking traffic lights, the aroma of bread, your favourite band, the smell of grass after rain, your sisters’ laughter, your mom’s sitcoms? Do you miss it? Do you miss living?

…

Did you break free?

I think so.

Did you miss living?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Do you like living?

Yes. I think it’s worth living. I think I’m worth living.

Good.

That’s not a question.

Maybe we can both stop asking questions.

Maybe we can. We both know more now.

In the end, it’s you. 

It’s me.

You are still you. You have always been you.

I’m me. And I think…

Yes?

I think I’m always meant to be here.

Stream Recap, TangoTek, 7/02/24

((A redstone-heavy stream from Tango here, technically-minded readers may have to actually watch the VOD to catch the details. Highlights of the stream include a visit from Etho, some excellent heckling from Mrs Tango, and Tango's general extreme embarrassment over the fact that he is building *mumblechunkloadersmumble*))

5:45 Tango opens the stream on game view in his storage area. He wishes Chat a happy Monday and solicits Chat for a little tech support. Chat is supportive. Tango worked on his laundry room all weekend but now he’s at the point where he has to cut the countertop and that is scary because it’s a big long cut to a bit expensive counter. The tech remains unsupported. Chat suggests turning it off and on again. Tango admits it’s been a couple weeks since he restarted the computer. Today’s plan is upgrading the factory, making things faster. He drops his voice confidentially to tell chat that he might be using… the C word. Chat is full of guesses. The word is chunkloaders. Chat is aghast. Tango knows it is against the spirit of Tangoness, but he is tired of the factory breaking if he leaves its loaded chunks. Chat asks if TNT duping is next. Tango vehemently denies this.

10:00 Tango further explains that this is temporary chunkloaders, they will run while the factory is running and go for a minute or so after Tango leaves the area, long enough for all the carts to return to their places and the factory not to break. Chat asks if Tango saw Impulse’s video. Tango laughs and says he did, but he knows Impulse far too well to be even a little bit fooled. He believes Impulse does not have a backup career as an actor. Chat agrees, but thought it was funny anyway. Tango has not watched the court case yet. Chat asks when Tango is actually going to build the outside of the factory. Tango says soon, maybe as early as next week, but he’s hoping to wait for 1.21. He’s also doing the blimp for the copper farm.

12:30 Chat informs Tango that even Etho has a roof on his base by now. Tango absolutely has to see this, and flies to Etho’s base to see where Pearl has completed the unfinished copper roof with purpur bricks. Tango and Chat are very amused. Tango tells Pearl in game chat that she is the best, Impulse agrees. Pearl replies with a :] Tango says it’s about time somebody built something around here! He compliments the perfect choice of color palettes. Tango admits that he’s probably done less building than any hermit on the server, he needs to do some serious building work. He assures Chat that he has received plenty of puns to stock the new Fun Gus shroomlight store, they do NOT need to send him anymore. He goes through his permits and says he’s going to build a shop for sponges and probably one for chiseled bookshelves, but likely not one for glowstone. He realizes he hasn’t placed his shroomlight permit in the shop and is courting a visit from the Poe Poe. Impulse raids into the stream.

15:10 Tango heads for the shopping district. He asks Chat if Impulse finished his rocket factory or if he got distracted. Chat reports 70% distraction levels during Impulse’s stream. Tango heads for Fun Gus to check for sales and says that when he told the other Hermits about his new shop, only Grian responded and it was with a “destroy it” meme. Sales are not great. Chat still loves Fun Gus. Pearl says in chat that she loves the mushie guy. The redstone shop has a few sales. Chat reminds Tango that he still needs to make skulk sensors and calibrated skulk sensors for the shop, and also that he doesn’t have an ender chest in Fun Gus. He corrects the latter and heads home. A chatter asks Tango’s favorite build of the season, he says he doesn’t have enough builds this season to have a favorite. Tango does not know anything about bundles. A pigman dies with the Skizz Scream in the background, Chat likes this but still wants a greater variety of screaming. Tango agrees but hasn’t got a good clean scream for Scar (another excellent screamer) or anyone else. He envies Skizz’s excellent screaming voice.

21:00 Tango thinks about the plan for the day and decides to get right into making the factory faster. He wants the factory to turn on automatically when he arrives, then when he leaves, stay on long enough to return all the minecarts before shutting down. His plan is to make a player detector involving silenced zombies (Zombies won’t wander unless a player is near) and pressure plates. Chat makes an argument for chickens, but Tango’s pretty devoted to the hostile mob idea. He thinks they wander more than passive mobs. Chat suggests the very wandery endermite. Tango begins mocking up a redstone player detection system. He thanks subs and donos and gets a joke from a chatter. Some science is going to be required to get the timing he wants, but he may use another sapling timer in there like he did for Decked Out. Chat worries that someone flying overhead could activate the farm with a switch like this, but Tango says he’s going to locate it low enough that someone would have to pretty much land on the factory to turn it on.

33:00 Redstone theorizing continues! Chat has lots of ideas for pulse extenders to keep the factory on as long as minecarts are in the system. Tango runs a test between the sapling timer and the armor stand timer to see which one pulses more in ten minutes.

37:30 A Tango Family Member appears and asks Tango an inaudible question. Tango has to leave for a minute. Chat debates whether it was Mrs. T or one of the Tangospawn, but apparently it was just a minor issue with the internet and quickly resolved. Jimmy shows up in Twitch Chat to a warm reception from Tango and Chat. Tango starts the timing test even as he admits that a regular hopper clock is probably going to be better for the actual system. Chat has more ideas for him. Chat also thinks that Skizz should be Tango’s lawyer if Tango gets sued. Tango doesn’t think anyone would want to sue him yet, but he’d hire Skizz. Chat points out that Skizz has a 100% win rate so far.

43:00 Tango explores the redstone of the factory to look for locations to put the new system. He tells Chat that the speed bottleneck is not minecarts, it’s the speed of requests from the system. A chatter suggests a physics-based timer based on falling water, Tango thinks that is interesting but he’s probably going to stick with redstone timing. A chatter suggests this would be easier if he just played Create. Tango laughs. A chatter suggests reading the fullness of the minecart hopper to determine when the system stays on. Tango likes that idea but it’s complex enough to not do on stream. He talks about the difficulty of buiding chunk loaders that don’t disrupt the mail system. Chat reminds him it is time to check the test.

49:40 Tango goes and checks his test systems. The redstone ore has ticked 12 times. Chat is _very_ excited to see 12 bamboo in the system because that is very valuable. ((In Season 7, Mumbo made an early season trade with Iskall that rested on the premise that 12 bamboo is about the most valuable thing you can have, and ever since then the two of them continued to act and trade based on this idea. Based on results of the 2024 Hermitcraft Charity Auction, 12 Bamboo is worth $1000 USD.)) The sapling timer has only ticked once, and Tango realized that not lighting the sapling and having much of the test happening at night probably ruined it. He pops a torch down and resets the test.

51:00 Tango goes back to talking about the chunk loader system. He’s thinking of y=90 or so for the system, low enough to not be in the factory and high enough to not mess up the mail. He’s going to have to gather a bunch of coordinates to get things set up. (Another piglin dies with a scream, Chat is happy.) Tango suspects that this is turning into a project more complex than is ideal to do on stream, but he’s already come this far! He works on determining where the chunk loaders should go on the X and Y. One chunk loader loads a 3x3 of chunks, so he can probably get away with four.

59:50 Chat reminds Tango that the test is over. Tango goes and checks the tests again. The redstone ore with armor stand has ticked 18 times in ten minutes, a 50% increase from last test. The sapling has not ticked at all, a 100% decrease from last time. Tango clears his throat while the Chat dissolves into laughter. Tango tries to figure out what is going wrong. Chat suggests that maybe it has gone out of simulation distance, but Tango’s final assessment is that maybe the sapling timer is just much slower than he thought.

1:04:00 Back to the chunk loaders! Tango notes down the coordinates he’s chosen. He finds a chicken and, at chat’s request, releases it from the hole it is stuck in. It floats down a crevasse at the end of the factory. Tango follows it down to see where it goes and is immediately attacked by a mob. He panics and flies away while Chat laughs at him. He boasts that it’s a good thing he didn’t panic, aside from the possible pooping of pants. Back in the safety of the factory, he does coordinate math. A chatter asks about Scar. Tango has not heard anything since Scar’s post-surgery Tweet, but as far as he knows Scar is okay.

1:11:00 Tango embarks on a Nether adventure to find his Nether chunkloading coordinates. A chatter brings up possible changes in 1.21. Mrs. T appears and asks what Tango is doing. “A bunch of boring stuff that no one understands,” Tango admits. “Perfect,” Mrs T says brightly, “I’ll just leave now.” Chat is always happy to hear from Mrs. T. Tango makes an ill-advised jump, Mrs. T observes that it looks like he almost fell to his death. “That’s why we hold shift,” Tango tells her. He looks for his exact coordinate block while Mrs. T attempts to spice up the stream by telling him to stand on a block and dig straight down. Tango refuses to do so, then a moment later digs recklessly into the wall and releases a large flow of lava. He makes cartoon noises and runs away. Mrs T and Chat are pleased with this entertaining content. Tango blocks off the lava and says he’ll just never open that wall again. Mrs T is confident that he’s going to forget and it will be funny. A baby piglin comes along, Mrs. T says that it is the Oompa Loompa who comes to sing the death song after someone does something foolish and dangerous. Tango claims not to remember that part of the movie. Mrs. T asks if he isn’t supposed to be carrying a bucket of water or something. Tango scoffs at the idea of a bucket of water in the Nether and immediately opens up a lava block over his own head. “Oh yeah, do more of that,” Mrs T offers approvingly as he scrambles.

1:16:00 Tango digs himself out from the lava trap and tries to find a way to divert the lava from his work area. Chat thinks Mrs. T should narrate for Tango all the time. He finds the lava flow and blocks it off, much to Mrs. T’s disappointment. She thinks he should set his spawn. A chatter marks themselves as in before Tango reopens the source he blocked off but did not destroy. Tango would never do that. Mrs T tells a story about the UPS driver being sassy about how many packages the Tango family gets. Mrs. T tries to understand what Tango is doing with his giant nether portal, but it’s kind of complicated. She points out that Tango has made portals for her in the past and it didn’t actually go very well. A chatter asks if lighting the portal will break the factory. Tango pauses for a moment to try and see what the chatter is on about, but a convenient ghast lights the portal anyway. Everyone cheers!

1:20:00 Tango basks in the glory of that totally-planned awesome moment while a piglin runs straight through the new portal and into the factory. Chat claims that was a high twag move. Tango agrees and asks if Jimmy was still watching. Jimmy does not appear to still be in chat. Tango has to break the portal anyway to install the redstone components, but it was still cool. A newly arrived chatter asks in disbelief if Tango is actually making chunk loaders. Tango admits that he is, and that he is eating some words and not enjoying it. Etho logs into the game. Chat is very excited. Tango relights the portals and fills his dispensers with items, then heads home to see if the loader will actually work.

1:27:30 Back at the factory, some digging is required. Tango excavates enough space for his portals and loaders, apologizing for the fact that this work is fairly tedious. Chat would like to go and bother Etho, but are also fairly amused just by the novelty of watching Tango building chunk loaders. He tests his portals and finds the math is not mathing quite like it should. Chat thinks the big portal needs to be several small portals. He spends some time sciencing the entry and exit points of the portals, then agrees to try breaking and separating the portals. Breaking up the portals works. It seems that while one can use a big portal to come out to multiple different portals, exiting into a big portal always dumps one out at the edge of the big portal.

1:41:00 Tango digs out the rest of the overworld portals. Etho critiques Tango’s corners, but he is running short on obsidian. Etho points out that Hypno sells it for outrageous prices, Tango muses that he could just steal it from Etho for free. Tango has actually mined 1500 obsidian this season, he basically took down an entire End pillar to have enough for the mail system. He gets the portals all doing what they should, but now he needs to test if the mail system is working. Chat suggests sending mail to Etho to test it. Tango says he sent Etho mail a month ago and never got an answer anyway. Etho says he had more important things to do. Chat says Tango can send mail to himself. He decides that’s a good test and mails himself two pieces of grass. A mail system test can take a couple of minutes. While he waits, Tango sketches out the plan for wiring up his chunk loaders.

1:48:00 Tango tests his regular portal, it still works. The mail arrives, nothing is broken. Tango decides to make each loader a closed system and asks Etho if he recommends the one they used for the mail system. Etho says “noooooooo.” He will come by for a consultation. Tango tries to go to his house instead, but Etho lives at Frogger now. Tango is sympathetic.

1:50:30 Etho arrives! Chat is super excited. It has been a minute since Etho was last involved in one of Tango’s streams, so it’s nice to see him again. Etho explains the problem with the mail system chunk loaders, which is that despite being a theoretically closed system, items keep disappearing from the chunk loaders. Etho’s had to make more chunk loaders for Frogger and learned that the problems he’s been having are not redstone issues, but that a player who dies does not load chunks on the death screen. Good for players who die AFK, bad for Etho’s Frogger game. Etho and Tango work out different ideas for chunk loaders. Tango innocently asks when Frogger will be done. Etho hesitates for a telling moment, then says he’s going back to work. Tango laughs. Etho says that really all the building is done and he’s just bug-squashing at this point. Once the fine-tuning is done, he and Tango can do a Frogger stream.

1:55:30 Tango returns to the factory. He realizes he forgot to congratulate Etho on his excellent roof and hopes Etho is still watching. He brainstorms with Chat on how to incorporate this new chunk loader knowledge into the system he’s creating. It’s going to take a lot of redstone. A chatter asks how bad the Soul Speed underlayer on the factory has been for Tango’s boots, he says it has not been too bad and he’s only had to repair them once. He heads into the chunk loader hole and begins placing redstone.

2:02:00 Brodyman enters the chat, Chat is happy to see him because he has been sick recently. Tango has been thinking of some games to play once he is really better. He tests out the chunk loader but it does not work quite right. Etho burns to death in chat. Tango and Impulse mock him cheerfully. Pearl announces in chat that she has redstoned again and now Dyeduction can handle words with double letters. Etho dies several more times. Going back and forth to the nether has roused the glitch in Tango’s game that makes it lag after too many portal trips, so he shuts it down and reloads. As he is doing this, Mrs. T wanders back in to see what he is doing. Chat is always happy to see Mrs T. Tango says he is reloading the game. Mrs. T is disappoint, she saw the game shut down and thought Tango was going to play a new game. Tango scoffs, he never plays a new game!

2:07:00 The game finally reloads and Tango gets back to work. Mrs. T talks about her breakfast plans. The stream starts lagging for some chatters. Etho dies again. With the chunk loader working in one direction, Tango starts working on the nether side. He and Mrs. T bicker about who is sleeping late and why. Brody is helping from stream chat. The chunk loader is not coming together like he wants. Etho says “Success!” in game chat and immediately logs out. Mrs T does not approve of Tango’s inventory management that includes dropping stacks of gravel down random holes. She stays long enough to watch Tango battle with a piglin and then wanders away again.

2:11:00 Doing chunk loaders is going to require reshaping some of the nether-side portals. Chat helps Tango get the portals linked together correctly. He runs additional tests to figure out where items come out when spit through the portal. With that figured out, he builds a little redstone system to collect and spit blocks in a very chunkloady fashion ((the recapper has only basic knowledge of redstone, but redstone definitely happens.))

2:18:15 The chunk loader works! He repeats the same procedure three more times. Putting redstone on netherrack hurts his soul a little but, but he soldiers through! Mrs T pops in for a little hockey talk. Hockey fans are mildly upset at her news that someone is no longer with their team, but most of Chat is bewildered. Apparently some venerable hockey player didn’t think they were getting enough money for their contract and the team called their bluff. Tango and Chat talk about sportsball salaries.

2:31:30 Tango finishes the overworld side and moves to finish the redstone on the nether side. Every time someone comes in and asks what he is doing, Tango says “chunkloaders” in the fastest, most ashamed voice possible. He doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. Chat talks about the differences between most beloved sports in different countries. Tango does a dramatic reenactment of what it looks like when someone gets touched in a soccer game.

2:39:00 Tango knows why soccer is much more popular than hockey, because the bar to playing is so much lower. All you need is a ball. He tests out all the chunk loaders. Chat points out that field hockey is at least somewhat more accessible than ice hockey. There is disagreement whether field hockey is real hockey. Tango notes that saying hockey often enough makes it not even sound like a real word. Chat knows the term “semantic satiation.” The test does not work, but Tango knows how to fix it. Probably. He does not. Chat tells him to portal harder. He reverses everything. It’s annoying, Chat blames themselves for distracting him during the build process.

2:51:00 Tango did not expect this to take all stream, but is not exactly shocked that it happened this way. He asks Chat if Skizz has published his court episode because he wants to watch it first. Chat says yes, he has. He declares the fix completed! Time to test again. It is still broken, He reverses it again, theorizing that someone in Chat is currently yelling “Finally he saw it!” He is not wrong.

2:57:30 The test works! Tango throws lots of items into all the dispensers to cushion against the item loss Etho was warning about. He loyally defends Skizz against charges of swearing during Pearl’s stream and demands VOD evidence. In theory now, one button should chunkload the whole base. Now he needs to add a clock, but he needs to figure out what his initial plan was hours ago. He builds an Etho clock with the use of his handy skidoodlebox. He reminisces fondly about the time when he and Etho competed to build an Etho hopper clock the fastest and Etho just tried to sabotage Tango’s clock instead of building his own. The clock is finished, the chunk loader is ready!

3:06:00 Tango realizes that he’s basically at the end of the stream and they never got to the fun stuff. Always time to pick that up on Wednesday. Wednesday they can get the endermites to do player detection and get that whole thing hooked up. That’ll be way more fun. Pearl asks in game chat if this means she doesn’t get to show him her new Dyeduction redstone. It will be ready in about five more minutes, but they decided it will be better to do on Wednesday when Tango can actually play. Tango gets mobbed by burning zombies as he tries to take down the test timers from earlier but does not die. He also doesn’t collect all his bits, but discretion is the better part of valor.

3:10:00 Tango winds up his stream and looks for someone to raid. He reminds Chat to come back on Wednesday to finish the project, and he’ll be doing some base building in the meantime. He attempts to raid into Mr Joker, but after several false starts, eventually throws up his hands and releases Chat into the wild as he ends his stream.

Bizarro Ninja Names

So. Question to all my fellow ninjago fans.

What are your hc's for the names of the bizarro ninja from Double Trouble (or additional ones like for Lloyd & Nya)? I'm really curious what people call them and why!

I'll start the thread with my own hcs that I made with a few wonderful friends

Bizarro!Kai -- Aki Forge -- his first name is an anagram of "Kai" (and means 'autumn', where the leaf colours match that of fire) while his last name Forge is both a "forgery" joke and a synonym of "Smith"

Bizarro!Movie!Kai -- Kaigami Julien -- first name is a pun on the name "Kagami", meaning 'mirror', last name is because they get adopted by the Julien family because he's a nindroid built by the Mechanic

Bizarro!Cole -- Loce/Chronos "Chons" Bournrock -- Loce is an anagram for Cole, the chemical formula for coal is C₁₃₇H₉₇O₉NS , or "Chons", and a bourn is a small stream synonymous with brook, as in Brookstone, plus it sounds like "born (of) rock"

Bizarro!Movie!Cole -- Charcoal -- Cole sounds like coal, this one is... pretty easy to tell the origins of ajfksalfjka, he's a clone made by movie!Vangelis who wasn't going for creativity

Bizarro!Zane -- Nane Hawk -- Turn the 'Z' in "Zane" sideways and boom, Nane (which also means 'no-one' or 'no-part of a whole'). Hawk is an alternative to a falcon

Bizarro!Movie!Zane -- Oread "Oreid" -- oreads were mountain nymphs in Ancient Greek mythology and is the type of nymph Echo was in mythos (and we all know why the name Echo is relative to a Zane); in this universe, he's a nindroid built by Garmadon's enginerds with seagull features for peak obnoxiousness (and yes, that one seagull laughing meme)

Bizarro!Jay -- Cage Steller -- Cage sounds a bit like just the letter "K" (plus a 'g'/'j'-like sound) , similar to how Jay sounds like "J", and works as a birdcage reference ; and a Steller's Jay is a type of jay

Bizarro!Movie!Jay -- Jayden Walker -- I think this one is obvious too, he's an oni who ran away from the First Realm & gets adopted by the Walkers after copying m!Jay's identity as a human disguise (think V from The Owl House)

Bonus:

Bizarro!Lloyd -- Dyoll/Floyd -- Yeah this is another reference. No it isn't creative. Yes it's funny. Yes it's also an acronym like the others.

Bizarro!Movie!Lloyd -- Christofern -- Y'all know why. Except he's an oni/part oni made of magic (and maybe a tiny bit of magic tea (leaves) so uhhhh surprise m!Lloyd you have a half-brother on your dad's side

Bizarro!Nya -- Yan/Nereid Forge -- Yan means 'beautiful' and is an acronym of Nya while nereid are sea nymphs from Ancient Greek mythology (and the same Forge 'forgery / smith' reference applies as it does with Aki)

Bizarro!Movie!Nya -- Kujira -- means 'whale' and may have been a potential word inspiration for the name "Wojira" ; a merlopian clone made of magic by the Followers of Wojira to help awaken the sleeping serpentine goddess

Bizarro!PIXAL -- Byte -- 'the basic unit of information in computer storage and processing' and a play on words like "gigabyte, terabyte, etc.'

Awesome, thanks for telling us more about the Scientist!Romeo AU! <3 Poor Vos' legs can't get a break (no pun intended). How'd he lose it in that AU? Aside from Vos and Xara, were there any other losers that became science projects too? Also, how's life for Vos after the rescue?

When knee surgery is tomorrow-

Funny story- In the original scrapped AU, he never lost a leg. It was only when sketching him for the first time I didn’t feel like drawing another foot and decided a peg leg would be neat. Sorry, Mr. Vossenidae… Since then, I have thought a bit about how he’d lose it… After the botched gill surgery, the guards forgot to lock the door to Vos’ cell and he snuck out while the Warden was distracted. While looking for an exit, he had breathing complications and was forced to hide. The Warden eventually found him curled up wheezing in a storage closet and dragged him back to the cell. Romeo did not take kindly to the news and scheduled our fishy friend for another surgery where you guessed it! Knee surgery is tomorrow! Rip his leg and any other chances of a successful escape attempt. Because he swims like an alligator, his swimming was not impacted much. But on land he is very off balance, and having a constantly wet floor is a recipe for disaster…

I had the guards in the lab be Romeo’s most loyal science experiments, however I never thought too hard on who exactly they’d be. Perhaps Tim, Cassie, some Neathfolk or Sky City residents too. (And apologies I haven’t thought much on what their experiments would be.) Carmine is probably an experiment too, but is too insane to be a proper “sentry.” Even the Warden himself had one tiny experiment (implanting a tracking device over his eye.)

As for life after the rescue, I never got that far before I rewrote the entire story. If I had to guess, Vos would probably stay with Jack and Nurm and learn sign language because he doesn’t get his voice back. I’d imagine the residents of Beacontown would be unnerved at first until the rest of the experiments show up and then it becomes a normal thing.

My Love For The Abandoned Villa Savoye. The Rotten Point.

An admittedly nicher interest of mine is abandoned (modern) architecture. I find something romantic, even erotic about it. My greatest love in this category, is the Villa Savoye. (which I will briefly give you some background on before getting to my real point) (and include some yummy photos)

Built around 1930 by Le Corbusier on the outskirts of Paris for the Savoye couple, The Villa Savoye is widely renowned as one of the great modernist buildings. But my love for the building really comes from the 20 odd years it spent abandoned.

The building was only inhabited for 9 years before the Savoyes evacuated Paris at the start of World War Two. During the war, the building was occupied by first German, then American soldiers. During this time the house was completely looted and defaced.

After the war, The Savoyes were billed for the repairs needed to make the home habitable again, and maybe because the home was bordering uninhabitable before the war (that's another story) the family never did repair it, and left the building to ruin.

Post war The Villa Savoye was used as hay storage by the town, later it was almost demolished to make way for the school nearby - but this project failed. It mostly just sat - peeling and rotting, covered in graffiti and piss. Until eventually in 1965, after campaigns from Corbusier, it became France's first modernist listed building, and was then restored over the next couple decades.

(okay real points now)

The Villa Savoye is beautiful in its intended state, but I find something so entrancing about its lifespan from the 40s-60s. A church to modern technology, left for dead.

On my deep dives into the building in this state I found an article by Tschumi, that spoke to me like a diary. In 'Architecture and Transgression' Tschumi talks about a lot of things rather cryptically, but in brief - the nature of architecture, it's reflection to humanity, the taboo of life and death, and even links architecture to the erotic as I had felt. All of which is encapsulated in the Villa Savoye.

Tschumi mentions his visit to the Villa Savoye in it's derelict state in the 60's, saying: "The Villa Savoye was never so moving as when the plaster fell off it's concrete blocks."

And I think hes right. There is something so emotional, so visceral about a building that rots. Especially modernist buildings - that were so scared of showing the passage of time. Of course, modernism was in part a response to the first world war - a want, a need for a new Utopian world. There is thus an underlying fear of death in modernism that is un-ignorable in the strive for hygienic perfection in it's architecture. Seeing the Villa Savoye in a state of rot and disrepair highlights for me, mankind's futile effort to ignore death, war comes again, we inevitably deface what is in front of us. Time passes.

But even this emotional weight aside. It is absolutely beautiful. Tschumi refers to 'eROTisicm' (I found this pun quite funny.) And in a sense, this is talking about how there is eroticism in death. And many philosophers (like Bataille) have noted that. But Tschumi links this to architecture. How architecture is an erotic act, indulging in the art, the pleasure beyond the initial function of a space. And when a building begins to rot, that doesn't diminish. If anything, it makes it more powerful. Your reaction to the space becomes something so different when there is evidence of time, when the space around you lives because it dies. There is, for me, a sense of god in that. To feel the presence of something so much bigger in a structure man made, taken over by natural cause. (I want to mention I am using sections of Tschumi's arcticle, and blending his thoughts with mine. He writes about a lot of other topics as well, and I have reached my own conclusion based on my thoughts and his. I encourage you to read it yourself!) It is difficult to put into words. But there is just something about the derelict Villa Savoye that is undoubtedly beautiful, erotic, terrifying, and godly. It creates something for me that nothing else has ever come close to.

and it only existed for 20 years. im so sad ill never meet my abandoned-occupied-haystorage-concrete boyfriend </3

My other pet ship!

Details and explanation below!

Odettes photo is a suprise photo she wasn't ready for it. Glam is out of costume working on something.

A special note here is Odette naturally thinks in cm and mm because of her work in manufacturing. Glam thinks in meters because of ocean depth.

Their relationship status is protected information. You can have your theories tho. Mammon has started a lot of rumors for tabloids and Carmilla is naturally suspicious.

To start with I headcanon each hellborn species has its own culture, language and approach to things like gender and sexuality. Glam has her answers in English and in a font I found designed to mimic some eldritch script. It's easy to equate the Envy demons to the aquatic theming in Lovecrafts work but really I don't think they are literally cosmic entities (the Von Eldritchs to me are just references but not actually on the level of cosmic horrors but the idea is kinda funny, I digress) so anyway I just needed a font to use for this.

Glams name is a English approximation. Her true name means "lovely offspring, elegant swimmer"

Because the Envy demons are fish and fish tend to be wild: an English western approximation to her gender is non binary. But there's no proper equivalent she's used to "woman" and "nonbinary woman" fits. Same with sexuality. This is also a mild reference to her being an omnivore- another headcanon is her species eats mates that fail to perform. She appreciates the pun and that technically it works. Again. This is a rough approximation for what would otherwise be culturally specific terms. She has a dry sense of humor but is not immune to word play. It's part of why she and her sister go by Glitz and Glam as a duo.

Glam is more of an extrovert but she looks down on people more, she isn't worn out by crowds and would find it beneath her to be. Odette is great as a project lead but gets tired of talking and dealing with people- being in charge of delivery is great because its pretty predictable dialogue over and over.

Mammon won't shut the fuck up about the relationship, Glam doesn't care who knows but Odette is shy about it. Glitz is either the number one ship fan or looks down on it because there were plenty of hot envy demons back home wtf glam.

Glam has excellent manners for an Envy demon. It just looks rather unhinged to sinners.

Glam is a predator by nature. Odette is rather passive. Together they are that one Simpsons meme:

Because I headcanon that Envy is larger than our oceans: appearances play a big part of their culture. Your glow and fashion is highly valued. Odette caught her eye because of her unusual choice of color palette. In hell black and white is shocking contrast. It's high visibility in a world of reds. Odette started out very business like and let slip a pun. They have some of the most British delivery when it comes to jokes.

Odette has more paper work than Glam. Its constant and a fight to control. Glam has stuff but she's not very emotionally attached to it. She'll pack things up and shove them into storage.

Glam likes Odettes body warmth as Envy demons run cold. Odette is happy to oblige.

Admittedly Envy recipes are a lot of raw fish but Glam is good at them. Odette can cook but doesn't have the time.

Glam is worse about it but neither are thrilled about having someone else matter so much to them outside family. Its a control thing.

Like the previous paragraph neither liked dating.

The irony being that Odette is taller so its hard to do either unless one of them is sitting. Glam likes using Odette as a headrest especially because she likes the smell of Odette/Odettes hair. Envy demons have better sight than our deep ocean fish but still respond best to high contrast and smells.

Glam is more likely to cut and run, does she though? That's the juicy drama.

What brings them together is a meshing of personality and energy. They prefer peace and quiet. Dry jokes and they actually meet each other's "romance" needs easily. I headcanon Odette is aro-ace and Envy demons don't completely understand "romance" in the ways sinners do. They can want "romantic" things as they are envious if they see it, but actions and gifts can be status symbols more than feelings based. For Glam she can want to give flowers or recieve them as signs of providing for a mate rather than as a romantic gesture. What this effectively means for Odette is there is no romance pressure, for Envy demons providing for each other is the peek of affection and the details are fuzzy when trying to translate that into other species.

Whats the appeal I take to mean in each other? Odette appreciates athleticism, she admires the "no fucks given" energy for a star like Glam to have. Glam loves that nerd shit and weapons.

How did they met lmao Mammon wanted holy steel juggling balls for his stars. Show off more. Glitz and Glam travel to Pride in a entourage to pick up the order.

I think that's everything I wanted to touch on.

[creativewyrdo]

Not sure if it's the nostalgia, the inspiration from furblr, or the lack of sleep within the last three days due to the meds I have to take (stupid allergic reaction to mosquitoes), but I had the urge to pull ol' Furb out of the storage box.

He has definitely seen better days. And did something run off with his eyelash?!

Needless to say, I think it's time that Furb should be re-furb-ished. (Hur Hur Hur, my puns are so funny)

So I'm going to look up tutorials on how to fix a furby! Any advice is good and nice.

Chamomile Comic Trivia #27

#142 - Decorations

The little slightly creepy looking Santa in Brianna's box of decorations is the very same as this creepy robot Santa I drew for some reason in response to a funny conversation with my late friend Audi.

Annoyingly I cannot for the life of me find the original drawing but I did find this equally inpenetrable in-joke follow-up art at least.

As we find out at the end of the year, Cammie committed and did not take down her christmas decorations! My intention at the time was that all year, any comics set in Cammie's sitting room I would have little background hints that her decorations were still up. I then proceeded, without thinking about it, to only have one panel set in Cammie's sitting room for the entire rest of the year, so I never got to realise this background joke in the end.

#143 - Accessories

Puns, what's more to say!? Layla's outfit originated from this pin-up, and the cactus design is another old joke "character" of mine that has popped up in a few things I've made across the past decade or two.

#144 - Bits

I remember this joke with Cammie being one I had in my head for a long time that really made me chuckle and I waited a long time for a scenario/story idea to come up where it would fit into conversation smoothly. It is kinda funny that at the time Cammie was only super hourglassy compared to my existing characters though, I feel in the grand scheme of the internet and sexy girl artists Cammie is comparitively mild and practically down-to-earth with her hip width and for some readers the joke might not even land, lol. At least Vienna's dialogue informs it.

The scenario was also mildly based off a memorable moment in high school's first year where for some reason we were given lockers (us, the first years without mountains of coursework that might need storage), and the only time I ever remember "using" them was my best friend at the time (who was quite small) successfully climbing inside one entirely. They weren't full person height ones like in american TV shows so this was an achievement! Our form tutor caught us doing it and disagreed.

#145 - Warm

And here's the comic with that one living room panel, and the camera is pointed right at the door so there wasn't much room for stuff anyway!

I naturally came up with this joke while doing washing up in the winter when the house was cold and having the same thoughts of not actually wanting to stop yet. It feels like a bit of a hard-sell relatable comic since it's not really something you think about outside of the moment, but hopefully it was funny anyway. Bonus joke of course that the flowers in her vase are still sopping wet and dripping, implying that she dunked the entire thing, flowers and all, into the kitchen sink to clean it.

I still really like the art on this one, especially the perspective kitchen shot pictured above!

We’ve collected some of the most entertaining longer chipmunk jokes that deliver satisfying punchlines while building amusing storylines around our favorite cheek-stuffing critters. The Nutty Basketball Star Picture a chipmunk dominating the basketball court, sinking shot after shot with incredible precision. After the game, reporters asked about his secret technique. The chipmunk simply grinned and replied, “I specialize in making nut-thing but net!” This clever wordplay combines basketball terminology with the chipmunk’s natural nut-gathering instincts. The Butt-Kissing Escape A young boy was caught by a police officer while holding both a chipmunk and a BB gun.

The Jazz Duo A bartender was stunned when a drunk patron placed a chipmunk on the counter that began playing perfect jazz music. Even more surprisingly, the man then produced a rat that started scatting along with the melody. A Hollywood agent in the bar rushed over, excited about signing the incredible animal act. Unfortunately, the drunk passed out before any negotiations could begin, leaving everyone wondering about the fate of the talented chipmunk musician. The Winter Complaint Two chipmunks were huddled together during a particularly harsh winter day. One turned to the other, shivering dramatically, and exclaimed, “I’m absolutely freezing my nuts off!” This joke works brilliantly by combining anthropomorphism with the creatures’ reputation for nut hoarding. The “Nut-Cumulator” Financial advisors were interviewing animals about their saving habits. When they met a particularly industrious chipmunk with bulging cheek pouches, they asked about his investment strategy. The chipmunk explained his systematic approach to stockpiling, earning him the nickname “the nut-cumulator” – cleverly blending financial terminology with natural foraging behavior. The Party Pooper Forest animals stopped inviting chipmunks to their gatherings after repeated incidents. When asked why, the squirrel host explained, “They always eat all the nuts and bolt!” This punchline works on two levels, referencing both their dietary preference and their tendency to make quick escapes. The Internet Distrust A tech-savvy rabbit asked a chipmunk why his species avoided going online. The chipmunk looked around nervously before answering, “We’ve heard there are squirrels phishing for information.” This modern joke merges traditional animal rivalries with contemporary cybersecurity concerns. These extended chipmunk jokes use the animals’ natural traits – from their famous cheek pouches to their nut-gathering habits – as foundations for more elaborate humor. We find these longer narratives particularly effective at parties or gatherings where a well-told story with a surprising punchline can create more memorable laughs than quick one-liners. Alvin And The Chipmunks: Pop Culture Joke Edition Alvin and the Chipmunks jokes brilliantly merge pop culture references with these beloved cartoon characters, creating hilarious one-liners that resonate with fans of all ages. These jokes often play on the chipmunks’ distinct personalities and adventures, making them instantly recognizable and shareable. Classic Cartoon References Classic cartoon chipmunk humor taps into the nostalgia of the original animated series while highlighting the mischievous nature of these furry characters. “Nut Navigation” jokes suggest that chipmunks never get lost because they rely on their natural “nut-vigation” skills to find their way home. Fitness humor is also popular, with jokes about chipmunks staying in shape by running up and down the “nutcracker suite,” combining musical references with their active lifestyle. Swimming jokes add another layer of humor, as chipmunks supposedly swim on their backs specifically to keep their nuts dry—a simple yet effective pun that plays on their food-hoarding behavior. Movie-Inspired Chipmunk Humor Movie references create some of the most shareable chipmunk jokes, often playing on film titles and famous scenes. “Fast and Furry-ous” jokes highlight Alvin’s reckless driving tendencies, comparing his behind-the-wheel antics to the popular action film franchise. The wildly popular “Chipwrecked” pun references both the actual Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and creates jokes about Alvin’s inability to safely navigate boats, often paired with Titanic references for added humor. Car-related comedy extends to “Getting to the Nuts and Bolts” jokes that showcase Alvin’s curiosity about mechanics, typically ending with him dismantling vehicles. Transportation humor rounds out this category with quips about chipmunks driving “acorn-ettes” for their impressive speed and unique style on the road. Seasonal Chipmunk Jokes For Every Time Of Year Spring Spring brings new life and laughter with these chipmunk jokes that celebrate the season of renewal: What’s a chipmunk’s favorite spring activity?

Special Occasions For holidays and gatherings throughout the year, these jokes deliver seasonal cheer: What’s chipmunk party etiquette? They eat all the nuts and bolt. How To Create Your Own Chipmunk Jokes Understanding Chipmunk Characteristics Creating your own chipmunk jokes starts with understanding these adorable creatures’ most distinctive traits. Chipmunks are known for their expandable cheek pouches where they store food, making this a perfect joke foundation. Their nut-gathering behavior offers endless comedic possibilities for wordplay and puns. We’ve found that referencing their climbing abilities, small size, and distinctive striped appearance can also spark creative joke ideas that resonate with audiences of all ages. Mastering Wordplay Techniques Effective chipmunk jokes often rely on clever wordplay that connects to their natural behaviors. Try incorporating puns with words like “nut” (replacing “nothing” with “nut-thing”) or “cheek” references that play on their famous pouches. You can also experiment with the word “chip” in various contexts, such as creating jokes about a “chip-nunk” for a tailless chipmunk. Many successful jokes use homophones or double meanings that surprise the listener with an unexpected twist related to chipmunk traits. Crafting the Perfect Setup The setup of your chipmunk joke should establish a clear scenario that leads smoothly to your punchline. Formulate your setup as a question like “Why did the chipmunk bring a ladder?” to create anticipation. This question format naturally guides your audience toward expecting an answer, making the punchline more impactful. Keep your setup concise and relevant to ensure maximum impact when you deliver the payoff. Delivering a Strong Punchline Punchlines work best when they subvert expectations with a surprising twist. For the ladder joke, “Because drinks were on the house!” delivers this unexpected connection perfectly. Your punchlines should ideally connect to chipmunk behaviors while creating humor through misdirection. Tom Swifties can be particularly effective, such as “‘I’m feeling nutty,’ said the chipmunk, acorn-ingly,” where the adverb creates a secondary layer of humor related to the chipmunk’s behavior. Exploring Fresh Angles While nuts and cheek pouches provide reliable joke material, exploring less common chipmunk traits can help your jokes stand out. Consider seasonal behaviors like hibernation for winter-themed humor, or create tech-related jokes with “phishing” puns for a modern twist. Family gatherings, chipmunk interactions with humans, or imagined conversations between chipmunks can all serve as fresh foundations for original jokes that haven’t been overused. Testing and Refining Your Jokes The strongest chipmunk jokes prioritize brevity and clarity while delivering an unexpected punchline. Compare these examples to see how refinement improves humor: “Chipmunks hate tight pants” lacks specificity and punch, while “Why don’t chipmunks wear skinny jeans? Their cheeks are too full!” delivers a clearer, more satisfying joke. Test your jokes with different audiences and be willing to revise based on their reactions, ensuring your punchlines land effectively. Incorporating Pop Culture References Pop culture connections can make your chipmunk jokes more relatable and shareable. References to Alvin and the Chipmunks or scenarios where chipmunks engage in human activities (like playing jazz) often resonate with wide audiences. These anthropomorphic situations allow you to blend chipmunk characteristics with familiar human contexts, creating humor through the contrast between animal nature and human behavior. The Science Behind Why Chipmunk Jokes Make Us Laugh Understanding Humor Theories Chipmunk jokes aren’t just randomly funny – they actually follow well-established theories of humor that explain why we crack up when we hear them. The Incongruity Theory suggests that humor emerges when there’s a surprising disconnect between what we expect and what actually occurs. Similarly, the Surprise Theory emphasizes that unexpected twists trigger our laughter response, which is exactly what happens in most chipmunk jokes. These scientific frameworks help explain why a simple joke about a chipmunk can leave us in stitches. Types of Chipmunk Humor Puns and wordplay form the foundation of most chipmunk jokes, creating connections that are both clever and amusing. Consider the joke “What did the chipmunk say when it won the lottery? ‘I’m nuts about my winnings!'” This humor works by linking chipmunks to nuts, playing with familiar associations in an unexpected way. Jokes featuring surprising situations also tickle our funny bone, like “Why did the chipmunk bring a ladder to the bar? Because it heard the drinks were on the house!” These setups create mental images that defy our normal expectations. The Psychology of Laughter Our brains process humor through a rapid cognitive shift that triggers the physical response of laughter. Chipmunk jokes specifically leverage the animal’s well-known traits (storing nuts in cheeks, scurrying behavior) to create clever connections that surprise our brains. The joke “What’s invisible and smells like nuts? Chipmunk farts” works because it subverts our typical expectations in a playful way. This quick mental pivot from what we anticipate to the unexpected punchline activates pleasure centers in our brain, resulting in laughter. Chipmunks as Humor Vehicles Chipmunks make particularly good subjects for jokes because their characteristics are widely recognized and inherently amusing. Their cheek-stuffing behavior, small size, and association with nuts provide rich material for wordplay and situational comedy. The humor connects with us because it transforms these familiar animal traits into unexpected contexts, triggering the cognitive surprise that leads to laughter. This connection between recognizable traits and unexpected applications forms the scientific basis for why chipmunk jokes consistently amuse us. Sharing The Cheer: Using Chipmunk Jokes For Social Connection We’ve explored the nutty industry of chipmunk humor in all its furry glory. These jokes do more than just make us laugh – they create connections across generations through universal appeal and clever wordplay. Whether you’re sharing an acorn-y one-liner at a family dinner or telling a longer tale at a party these chipmunk quips bring people together. Their combination of cute imagery with unexpected punchlines works magic in breaking the ice and creating shared moments. Next time you need to lighten the mood remember our chipmunk friends. Create your own jokes build on seasonal themes or simply share your favorites from our collection.

This classic memory pun plays on the dual meaning of something “coming back” – both physically (the boomerang) and mentally (the memory). My memory has gotten so bad it’s practically unfor-GET-able. The irony of forgetting being unforgettable creates a perfect memory-themed wordplay that friends will appreciate. The neuroscientist broke up with her boyfriend because he had no memory – he was always a hippocampus. This pun cleverly uses “hippocampus” (a brain region critical for memory) in place of “hippopotamus” to create a neuroanatomy joke. What did one brain cell say to the other? “Let’s make a memorable connection.” Neural connections form memories, making this pun both scientifically accurate and delightfully nerdy. I used to have a fear of forgetting things, but then I realized it was just a phobia I couldn’t remember. The circular logic makes this pun particularly effective as it plays on memory loss itself. My computer has a better memory than me – it never forgets its passwords. This tech-inspired memory pun resonates with anyone who’s struggled with password recall in our digital age. Why don’t programmers like to reminisce? They prefer to cache their memories instead. This pun works on multiple levels, playing with computer caching systems and human memory storage. I’d tell you a joke about short-term memory, but I… wait, what was I saying? The punchline demonstrates precisely what short-term memory loss feels like, making it both funny and relatable. Memory foam mattresses remember everything – talk about holding a grudge! Personifying memory foam with human memory traits creates an unexpected connection that makes this pun stick. Did you hear about the amnesiac criminal? He couldn’t remember the crime but still did the time. This crime-themed memory pun plays on the contrast between forgetting actions but still facing consequences. When I Lost My Memory, It Was a Moment to Remember The Irony of Memory Loss Memory loss creates one of life’s great paradoxes – the very thing you can’t remember becomes something unforgettable. Cognitive researchers have found that jokes highlighting this contradiction engage complex brain processing, creating what psychologists call “structural irony.” The title “When I Lost My Memory, It Was a Moment to Remember” perfectly exemplifies this phenomenon, leveraging the inherent incongruity for comedic effect. Eye-tracking studies reveal that our brains actually work harder when processing these memory-based jokes, showing increased reading times and regression patterns as we attempt to resolve the conflicting frames. This cognitive effort explains why we might pause momentarily before the punchline hits and laughter follows. Short-Term Memory Jokes for Long-Term Laughs Short-term memory jokes deliver lasting entertainment value that extends well beyond their brief cognitive shelf life. Research shows these quips engage our brains differently than standard humor, creating a measurable “cost” in memory experiments while simultaneously improving ongoing cognitive tasks. For instance, “My memory is like a sponge; it absorbs but leaks out!” resonates because it captures a universal experience in a surprisingly accurate metaphor. Psychology experiments testing recall using memory puns demonstrate how effectively these jokes stick with us, which explains why “Short-Term Memory Jokes for Long-Term Laughs” isn’t just a clever title – it’s scientifically supported. The temporal contrast between fleeting memory and enduring amusement creates the perfect cognitive playground for humor that stays with you. These Memory Puns Will RAM Their Way Into Your Brain If you’re a tech enthusiast or simply appreciate clever wordplay, these memory-themed puns will definitely compute with your sense of humor. We’ve compiled some hilarious jokes that play on both human and computer memory concepts. Computer Memory Wordplay Tech-inspired memory puns create perfect parallels between digital storage and human cognition. “Why did my memory get a job? To make some extra recall!” cleverly plays on “recall” functioning as both memory retrieval and employment. Many of us struggle with memory issues, which makes the pun “I have a photographic memory, but I never developed it” particularly amusing as it blends film photography terminology with cognitive ability. Computer memory jokes often anthropomorphize technology, giving human qualities to digital processes that ironically mirror our own memory challenges. These witty comparisons highlight how we increasingly relate our mental functions to the devices we use daily. Storage Capacity Humor Memory limitations provide fertile ground for humorous observations that everyone can relate to. “My memory is like a sponge; it absorbs but leaks out!” perfectly captures the frustration of information that seems to enter our minds only to disappear moments later. Our brains sometimes transform memories in unexpected ways, as illustrated by the joke: “I tried to recall my favorite movie, but my memory turned it into a comedy!” Storage capacity puns often use object-based metaphors, comparing memory to familiar items like “rollercoasters” to represent the ups and downs of recall or “treasure maps” to signify hidden details waiting to be discovered. Career analogies also feature prominently in these jokes, with lines like “Why did my memory join the circus? To juggle all my thoughts!” highlighting the mental balancing act we all perform daily. These relatable scenarios create humor by tapping into universal cognitive experiences we all share. I’d Tell You a Memory Joke, But I Forgot How It Goes Classic Memory Slip-Ups We’ve all experienced those moments when our memory decides to take an unscheduled vacation. Remember the time you walked into a room and completely forgot why you went there? That’s just one of many classic memory slip-ups that make for perfect comedic material. People often joke, “I have a photographic memory, but I always forget to bring my camera!” showcasing how we humorously acknowledge our imperfect recall. Memory slip-ups become even funnier when shared experiences come into play, like forgetting where you placed your glasses only to discover they’re sitting on top of your head. These universal moments of forgetfulness create instant connection through humor, allowing us to laugh at our cognitive limitations rather than feel frustrated by them. Forgetfulness Punchlines Forgetfulness serves as the perfect setup for hilarious punchlines that resonate with audiences of all ages. “I tried to remember my password, but it slipped my mind like a greased pig!” captures the frustration of modern memory challenges with vivid imagery. Punchlines often personify our memory as having a mind of its own, such as “I told my memory to hold onto my secrets, but it just spilled the beans!” These jokes work because they transform everyday cognitive struggles into unexpected moments of humor. Comparisons add another layer to these punchlines, with quips like “My memory is like a sponge; it absorbs but leaks out!” creating visual metaphors everyone can understand. Forgetfulness punchlines particularly shine when they highlight the irony of remembering that we’ve forgotten something important, a paradox that never fails to generate laughs. Memory Card Games: Dealing With Hilarious Recollections Memory puns combine clever wordplay with our everyday experiences of remembering and forgetting. These humorous recollections not only entertain but also highlight the universal nature of memory quirks we all experience. Photography Memory Puns Photography memory puns develop a perfect picture of humor by capturing the parallels between cameras and cognition. “She had a photographic memory, but never developed it” cleverly merges the concept of film development with the idea of improving one’s memory skills. People with exceptional recall abilities often claim to have a photographic memory, leading to gems like “I have a photographic memory, but I always forget to bring my camera!” This pun brilliantly illustrates the irony of claiming superior memory while still experiencing forgetfulness. Photography terms provide fertile ground for memory-related humor, creating snapshots of wit that instantly click with audiences. Digital Storage Wordplay Digital storage puns byte back with technological twists on memory concepts. Memory in computers shares vocabulary with human cognition, creating perfect opportunities for crossover humor. Terms like “storage,” “recall,” and “processing” work in both realms, generating jokes that resonate with our increasingly tech-centered lives. While fewer direct puns exist in this category compared to others, digital storage humor typically centers on data loss challenges that mirror human forgetfulness. Jokes like “Why did my memory get a job? To make some extra recall!” personify memory with employment, creating a humorous bridge between human and digital recollection. Our digital devices store information much like our brains do, making these puns particularly relevant in today’s technology-driven industry. Mind-Boggling Memory Puns for Neuroscience Nerds For those who love both neuroscience and wordplay, we’ve gathered some brain-themed puns that are scientifically proven to be memorable. Research actually shows that pun humor enhances both recall and recognition memory, making these jokes not just entertaining but potentially beneficial for your cognitive functions. Brain Cell Banter Neurons make perfect subjects for humor because they’re natural connectors. “Why did the neuron go to the party? Because it was a real connector!” This type of wordplay engages temporal and prefrontal areas of your brain, creating a complex cognitive process that may actually improve memory retention. Studies indicate that humor relevant to the information being learned significantly increases recall of paired facts compared to irrelevant jokes. Neuroscientists appreciate these jokes because they understand that each pun activates a network of brain regions responsible for both semantic processing and emotional engagement. Our brains literally light up when we process these clever neural puns, potentially strengthening our memory pathways while we laugh. Hippocampus Hilarity The hippocampus, our brain’s memory center, provides fertile ground for memorable jokes. “Why did the hippocampus go to therapy? It was struggling to remember its emotions!” This pun works on multiple levels by referencing the hippocampus’s crucial role in both memory formation and emotional processing. Research suggests that this type of relevant humor can make scientific concepts more captivating and easier to remember. Comprehending these hippocampus jokes activates the very brain structures they reference, creating a meta-cognitive experience that reinforces learning. When we laugh at hippocampus puns, we’re exercising the exact brain regions responsible for consolidating that memory, potentially creating stronger neural connections. Neuroscience educators often use these types of jokes to lighten up discussions about complex brain functions while simultaneously helping students retain important information. Memory Foam Mattress Jokes That Will Leave an Impression Comfort and Comedy Combined Memory foam mattress jokes offer a perfect blend of comfort and comedy that’s hard to resist. These jokes mold to your sense of humor just like memory foam conforms to your body shape. “Why did the mattress break up? It just couldn’t handle the pressure!” jokes like this take on new meaning when applied specifically to memory foam. We’ve found that the unique properties of memory foam create perfect setups for punchlines about “remembering” sleep positions or adapting to body shapes over time. Mattress humor might seem niche, but these jokes have surprising versatility, much like the material they’re named after. Impressionable Humor Memory foam mattress jokes make a lasting impression because they play on the material’s distinctive characteristics. “What do you call a mattress that tells jokes? A comfy-dian!” transforms into even funnier territory when you consider a memory foam mattress might “remember” all the jokes you’ve told in bed. The memory aspect creates a rich foundation for humor, allowing for clever wordplay about the mattress recalling your sleeping habits or never forgetting your favorite position. Many jokes focus on the foam’s ability to retain impressions, creating a natural parallel to memorable punchlines. We can adapt standard mattress jokes by emphasizing how memory foam “never forgets” the impression you make, turning ordinary bedroom furniture into an unexpected source of clever humor that sticks with you long after you’ve heard it. Alzheimer’s Puns: Finding Humor in Difficult Times Tasteful Jokes for Coping Humor can be a powerful tool for those handling the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. Research shows that individuals with Alzheimer’s often retain their ability to express and appreciate humor, including puns, even though cognitive decline. This preservation occurs because emotional processing pathways frequently remain intact even as memory deteriorates. Tasteful wordplay can leverage these preserved emotional connections, creating moments of joy and connection when other forms of communication become difficult. For example, lighthearted slapstick-style interactions tend to resonate well with many Alzheimer’s patients, as this humor style requires less complex cognitive processing than satirical or absurdist comedy. Interestingly, changes in humor preferences can actually precede typical dementia symptoms by up to nine years, potentially serving as early diagnostic indicators. People with Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia often show an increased preference for slapstick comedy while their appreciation for more sophisticated humor forms may diminish. Caregivers can use this knowledge to adapt their humor approach, focusing on simpler, more direct forms of wordplay that don’t require extensive memory recall or complex reasoning. Memory Care Wordplay Effective memory care wordplay focuses on shared experiences and familiar topics rather than testing recall abilities. Puns that emphasize retained abilities while avoiding frustration over memory gaps can foster positive emotional connections. An example might be saying something like “We’re just taking a brainstorm break!” which acknowledges cognitive activity without creating pressure to remember exact details. These types of gentle wordplays acknowledge the reality of memory challenges while maintaining dignity and emotional connection. Communication through puns can be particularly valuable in memory care settings where structured humor activities support emotional well-being. The key lies in monitoring individual responses to ensure the humor remains appropriate and well-received. A case study of an 81-year-old woman with moderately severe Alzheimer’s demonstrated remarkably preserved punning skills, highlighting how wordplay can remain accessible even in advanced stages of cognitive decline. This retention of humor capabilities offers a meaningful avenue for continued emotional engagement and quality of life enhancement throughout the progression of memory-related conditions. School Memory Puns: Recall Those Classroom Days Test-Taking Humor Remember when test anxiety made you forget everything you’d studied? These school-themed memory puns capture that classic experience! Students often joke that their brains go “blank as a fresh test paper” when facing exams. Research suggests that using humor during test preparation can actually reduce stress and improve recall, making these puns surprisingly practical. Many teachers incorporate light-hearted memory jokes to ease tension before major exams. Our favorite test-taking pun remains: “I studied so hard for my memory test that my brain went on strike—it refused to recall for duty!” Remember to Laugh: Why Memory Puns Matter The Therapeutic Value of Humor Memory puns do more than just make us chuckle—they offer genuine cognitive benefits backed by research. Studies show that humor enhances cognitive functions, particularly creativity and memory retention. The positive emotions triggered by a good pun can significantly boost our ability to remember accompanying information. Research indicates that relevant humorous content is remembered better than non-humorous or irrelevant material. Incorporating humor into educational or therapeutic settings has proven to improve cognitive performance, making puns a valuable tool for memory enhancement. This therapeutic value extends beyond simple entertainment, providing measurable improvements in how we process and store information. Creating Memorable Moments Through Wordplay Wordplay creates distinct cognitive landmarks that our brains naturally retain longer than ordinary information. Research demonstrates that puns make recall easier by constraining and limiting information, which simplifies memory retrieval processes. In experiments, participants exposed to knock-knock jokes with puns showed improved memory performance compared to those given jokes without puns. The unique cognitive engagement required to understand a pun facilitates more efficient processing of surrounding information. Text comprehension improves when amusement from wordplay engages our mental faculties. These memory-improving effects explain why we often remember funny moments with remarkable clarity, even years after they occur. Puns serve as cognitive hooks that give our memories something distinctive to latch onto, making them powerful tools for creating lasting impressions. Unforgettable Conclusion: Making Memories With Puns Memory puns offer more than just a good laugh – they’re cognitive exercises wrapped in humor. We’ve explored how these clever wordplays bridge science and comedy while creating lasting neural connections. Whether you’re a neuroscience enthusiast a memory foam mattress owner or someone who just appreciates clever wordplay these jokes create shared moments of joy. They remind us that even forgetting can be memorable when framed with humor. Next time you find yourself struggling to recall something remember that a well-timed memory pun might just be the cognitive boost you need. Our brains love these linguistic twists and they’ll help ensure your jokes aren’t easily forgotten. Keep punning and keep those neural pathways firing! Frequently Asked Questions Why are memory puns considered good for the brain? Memory puns exercise your brain by creating unexpected connections between familiar ideas. They require mental processing to understand the wordplay, which engages multiple cognitive functions simultaneously. Research shows that humor, especially puns, can enhance creativity and memory retention by creating distinct cognitive landmarks that our brains retain longer than ordinary information. Can memory puns help with memory retention? Yes, memory puns can help with retention. The cognitive effort required to understand wordplay creates stronger neural connections, making the information more memorable. Studies indicate that humor engages different brain areas than standard learning, potentially improving recall. When we laugh at a memory pun, our brains are more likely to store that information in long-term memory. How do memory puns help people cope with memory loss conditions? Memory puns can create moments of joy and connection for people with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Many individuals with memory loss retain their ability to appreciate humor despite cognitive decline. Simple, tasteful wordplay can foster positive emotional experiences when other forms of communication become challenging, potentially improving quality of life and maintaining social connections. What is “structural irony” in memory puns? Structural irony occurs when jokes about memory loss engage complex brain processing. The irony lies in how forgetting something can make it more memorable. When we process puns about memory loss, our brains work harder to understand the contradiction, creating a stronger cognitive impression. This explains why jokes like “When I lost my memory, it was a moment to remember” are both humorous and cognitively stimulating. Can memory puns be used in educational settings? Absolutely! Memory puns are valuable educational tools that can reduce test anxiety and improve information recall. Teachers often incorporate light-hearted memory jokes to ease tension and create a positive learning environment. Research shows that humor during study sessions enhances retention, making memory puns particularly effective for helping students remember complex information. What makes memory foam mattress puns unique? Memory foam mattress puns blend comfort and comedy by personifying an everyday object that “remembers” impressions. These jokes mold to the audience’s sense of humor, much like memory foam conforms to body shapes. This specific category of puns creates relatable humor about sleep habits and pressure, resulting in distinctive wordplay that resonates with anyone who has experience with these specialized mattresses. How do tech-inspired memory puns work? Tech-inspired memory puns draw clever parallels between human cognition and computer memory systems. They blend technological terminology with everyday experiences of remembering and forgetting. These puns are particularly effective because they tap into our increasing reliance on digital memory aids, creating humor through the comparison of human recall limitations to computer storage capacities. Are there specific memory puns for neuroscience enthusiasts? Yes! Neuroscience-themed memory puns combine wordplay with brain anatomy and function. Jokes about neurons, the hippocampus, and other brain structures not only entertain but also reinforce understanding of neuroscience concepts. These specialized puns create a meta-cognitive experience where the joke itself demonstrates the very memory functions it describes, making them popular among science-minded audiences. https://lolpuns.com/?p=1811 LOL Puns

NERDS OF A FEATHER (UPDATED ARCHIVAL)

Berdly had been out with a cold for a few days. He had slept through his study day (With one of the most vivid dreams he’d had in years, to boot), and when he woke up he felt utterly freezing. He had stumbled home, and to his dismay, had to refrain from going to school for the next maybe 2-3 days. He felt utter despair in the arrangement, but toughed it out. A few more days at home decidedly wouldn’t ruin his life, matter it not how much he hated it there.

On the day he felt well enough to, he absolutely lept to get his usual, very complicated outfit of a polo shirt and nothing else, before grabbing his bag and flying off. … Not really. He took the bus.

Upon arrival, he booked it to class and took his usual seat— front middle, right in front of the teacher’s desk, and in everyone’s line of sight. He usually basked in the attention he would bring, reveling in his genius persona, but today he felt a bit uncomfortable in the spotlight. He couldn’t pin out why, so he decided the feeling was best to be ignored.

He passively watched as his classmates streamed in— Noelle, who gave him a very funny look as she passed to her seat, Catti, who was on her phone as usual, Snowy making terrible puns… and… Jockington.

What about him today made Berdly stop dead in his tracks? He looked no different. Seemed to act no different, too, just chatting it up with Catti as she silently ignored him. He had his regular outfit on, his confusingly acquired button-up shirt and a red hat that made him look like an attempted Ness copycat to Berdly.

But something about him…

…Berdly elected to ignore that, too.

Class started no different than he remembered. Their overly stuttery teacher fumbled to get her supplies all together, giving Kris and Susie just enough time to hop into the lesson before she even said anything of use or interest. What enabling behavior to the skippers in his life.

After that, things began with no other interruption. They were continuing on their A Tale of Humans and Monsters unit, a personal favorite of his. But, for some reason, he couldn’t push himself to pay attention. Every time he tried to bring himself back to the reading at hand, his mind wandered back to Jockington.

He found it very annoying, and a large hindrance to his performance. He was still the smartest! He needed to focus.

…But he couldn’t. Ugh.

He stayed like that throughout the entire lesson, deciding to occupy himself by listening to the unpleasant ambient of Kris’s quiet snoring, the incessant tapping of Catti’s phone, and the other general sounds of being off-task. He felt disgusted by his lack of productivity, but felt condemned to his fate of slacking at the moment. When he occasionally glanced up he noticed Ms. Alphys looking uncharacteristically concerned for him. He ignored it.

The moment the bell rang, he jolted up in his seat and ran over to Noelle. She flinched at his presence, and he gave a very quiet “sorry” before loudly continuing.

“My dearest Noelle—“ It felt even weirder than usual— “Would you ever so kindly meet me in the hallway to talk about… things?” He said, forcing up his persona as always. By the Angel, why was he feeling so bad about it today?

“Ah- Berdly… Um… I… Yes?” Noelle looked shaken, like she’d seen a ghost. Had he really been so scary..? He decided to shrug it off as general worry.

“Well then!! No time to waste!!!” He grinned for show as he dragged her out of the classroom by the hand.

He decided that the abandoned classroom was as good a place as any to talk to her about this feeling. Where nobody would go, and nobody would hear. He raced down the hallway, passing by the storage closet (which he had considered trying out, but vetoed) and sharply turning into the empty room. It was more barren than he remembered, but he supposed it was no problem.

He shut the door behind them and let out a breath he didn’t notice he was holding, also letting go of Noelle’s hand. He looked over to the deer girl, who looked like she was perhaps about to have a heart attack. She took a moment to steady herself before staring back up at him.

“W-What in the Angel’s name, Berd—“ “I know! I know, I’m sorry for rushing you here.” He dropped his previous act, tripping over his words a little bit as he apologized. She blinked at his response. Did it only take her two days to forget how he really acted? He really shouldn’t be skipping school even more, if that’s the case. “Uh… You know what? It’s alright! Anyways, what did’ya bring me here for?” She said, painting a smile on her face that Berdly had long since known was completely fake. He didn’t mention it, though.

“W-Well.. I uh, am feeling… things that I figure you could, maybe, help me figure out..?” He felt incredibly awkward. Why did he even think asking her for help about this was a good idea? He felt like an idiot in the moment.

Her expression suddenly dropped. “Oh, no… you don’t mean… Berdly, I’m sorry, I don’t—“ “IT’S NOT YOU!!!!!” He yelped. “About someone else, I meant!!!!” Noelle breathed a heavy sight of relief. “Maybe try to elaborate a bit more next time…”

Berdly let out an indignant huff. “Whatever! I just know you’re better at this stuff than me…” Noelle put on her previous smile once more. “It’s fine. Anyways, who is it?” “You know, that snake. Um, Jockington.” He wished he could disappear. She let out a small, incredulous laugh that only served to make him feel more like sinking into the floor. “Really? That’s… nobody I would have expected from you.”

“Does my type matter here at all?” He stammered. “No, no, sorry. Uh, I don’t know much about him, so I can’t really say anything for sure would be, Y’know, great?” “Damn it, I’ll never…” I muttered, putting his head in his wings.” “Hey, don’t talk like that.” She nudged him. “I’m… friends… with Kris, and they know Catti, who also knows Jockington. We could relay things to you.” “That just feels stupid,” his words muffled slightly by his wings. “Do you not have any other ideas?” She paused for a moment. “Well… Technically, we could set you up in a date.”

~~~~~~(I don’t wanna make a new chapter)~~~~~~~~

Berdly’s beak went agape in shock. That’s not something they could just do, is it? And how would it even happen? How would he get the courage to arrange it, or even get Jockington to accept? Would Noelle arrange it? How much would that help? His mind was racing.

“You would just?? Do that??” He managed to stammer out. “I could if you wanted,” she offered. “I’m here for you.” “I…” He felt indecisive. On one hand, he could accept her offer to set up a date and be free of the burden that is this crush, but on the other hand, he could get rejected big-time.

“…Could you?” He asked hesitantly. Her grin became a bit more genuine. “Absolutely.”

A faint smile creeped at the edges of his beak, and he threw his wings around her is a quick hug. It caught Noelle by surprise, but she returned the gesture without complaint.

He silently let go, flattening down his feathers a bit. He appreciated Noelle’s understanding and kindness towards Jim’s lot. She was one of the only people he put down the act for, and it was always a breath of fresh air when he could. But, now he had to go back home— they both did. And at least for him, that requires the bus. So back on the costume would have to go.

He let out a sigh, giving Noelle an appreciative look, before mentally preparing himself and leaving the abandoned classroom. The halls were empty, save for him and Noelle, which he found lucky. His moment of reprieve can be if only slightly prolonged.

As such, he dragged his talons about leaving the school. He did when he put on his act, too, just in a different way. He still sort of hated that about him, though. When he reached the large double-doors, he silently picked himself up from hunching over, put himself in a more confident pose, and put in his overly snarky grin. Time to go be ‘himself’.

He got on the bus uneventfully, and managed to get a seat near the front. He was glad that he could leave faster when he got to his stop. The ride, too, was uneventful. The chaotic chatter was grating, but bearable. And his stop was one of the first, so he didn’t have to stand it much longer.

He got off at his stop when it came, and entered his home quietly. He slipped past his parents and into his room, shutting the door behind him. He flopped down onto his bed with a huff, closing his eyes. He’s always been fast to sleep, and with how tired he feels, he should pass out in a second.

…But things just can’t work. He rolled around in his sheets, attempting to get comfortable. He was. So why couldn’t he sleep? He’s no insomniac…

Oh. The date. The details of his conversation with Noelle still float in his head, filling him with both dread and excitement.

She’s really going to organize a date between him and Jockington.

How? When? Where? He had no information. It felt like he was spiraling. Not a clue of anything to come… Mystery wasn’t the most welcome thing to come of this. But, at least he knows that something will happen now. And he supposes that’s good enough for him.

After some time of both contemplation and some tossing or turning, he finally falls into a perfectly dreamless sleep.

The next day, he wakes up late for school. He woke right as the bus left, so he had to rely on his own scrawny wings and talons to get there. It was absolute torture, but he made it on time, if only a little bit gross looking. He enters the classroom and sits down wordlessly, praying that he looks okay and doesn’t smell terrible.

Jockington moved seats, he noticed. He’s sitting where Noelle usually would, right next to Berdly. Noelle, in turn, sat where Jockington usually was. He wasn’t exactly unhappy with the arrangement, he just wished he got a warning.

He felt shaky. Had Noelle followed her word of setting up a date this fast? Impossible. Did she tell Jockington about his (decidedly so) crush? That would be terrifying. It would also explain the nervousness vaguely creeping into Jockington’s expression— oh, Angel, was he staring? Berdly tore his eyes away and pointedly glared at the floor. The floor did nothing wrong, but felt guilty anyways.

Class passed at a painfully sluggish pace. Minutes felt like hours, and Berdly could barely keep himself from falling asleep (Is this what Kris feels like?). He supposed it was karma for staying up late, but it still felt unfair.

When the achingly drawn-out class finally ended with the sharp, punctual ring of the bell, Berdly tiredly packed away his things. He took his time, as he didn’t really feel like going anywhere. In his tired stupor, he barely noticed Jockington had slithered up to him until he finally spoke up.

“Hey, Berdly?” He vaguely tapped at the desk with the end of his tail. Berdly nearly jumped out of his skin at the sight. “A-Approach your superiors with more tact next time!” He stammered as he exaggeratedly brushed down his feathers. He tried to look just the picture or annoyed in case anyone was still paying attention to him. Jockington scoffed, but his expression didn’t become any more or less anxious, and he saw a glint of apology in his eyes. “I’ll remember that for, Next time. Anyways!” His grin flashed back to his regular old characteristic one. Was it only Berdly that like him a bit better without it…? He shook the thought off as Jockington continued.

“My awesome friend Catti told be that you wanted to invite me to, Hang Out?” Jockington looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and never come out as he said that. A very fair feeling, Berdly felt exactly like that too.

“Well… Indeed, I did offer as such, there is no trickery there. But! It is on the condition that you… It is on the condition that…” Berdly was blanking on what he was going to say. “…” “……” “Letsjustgoalready” “Okay Cool” And with that, the two left the class.

The hallways were mostly empty, save for a few stragglers, nobody Berdly recognized. He made it a point to leave quickly, and Jockington seemed to also be in support of the quick pace as he followed without complaint. They left the school, but instead of Berdly instantly leaving to the buses, he paused next to the doors.

He leaned against the wall, looking over to Jockington. They were probably ignorable enough to start actually talking. “Uh… Did Catti say a location at all? Jockington looked confused. “No. I kinda expected, you to have it…” “Noelle said she would—“ Berdly muttered, putting his head in his wings. “Ugh.” He figured there would be some degree of communication here. What the heck, Noelle?

They stood there for a while, mostly idling in embarrassment. After a moment, Jockington spoke up. “If it helps, I think I’ve got an Idea.” Berdly looked back up at him. “…You do?” He nodded. “If you don’t mind, QC’s, that’s the only thing close.” “Uh, sure, I don’t hate that.” He mumbled.

Thus, the two began their walk the quote-unquote famous QC’s Diner. They were both quiet, falling victim to the oh-so-common feeling of what could technically be described as shyness, or perhaps even dread if you really stretch it. They reached it in very little time, you could suppose it’s a perk of being in such a small town. Berdly opened the door with a shaky wing, and the two went in.

The restaurant was relatively busy, as always. People chatting, servers running about, music playing faintly through old speakers… Berdly wouldn’t say it’s the most perfect place in the world, but he liked it every time he went. He glanced around, and saw an empty table near the back corner. He made a beeline for it, and sat down quickly.

Jockington slithered to the seat opposite to him.

[boredserenity385]

2 more i missed. sirculation and sir rated. circulation of bloodflow and serrated for serrated blades.

they reimagined this quest from a low level beat em up quest beating up tons of puddles to a survival on a mountain style fighting quest in Sir Jings (surging) weapons.

the boss battle here is the same just a few regular elementals you will see in the story thus far. It gives up to lvl 80 energy weapons of 3 types. use back then was only lvl 2 weapons. useful for water enemies and up to then the hydra. the oaklore weapons are basically garbage unless you're nda and even then past lvl 6 or 7 youre not needing them.

reimagined tree fort. nothing really interesting. just the changed artstyle and a some sneevils lvl 1 some scale to your level. just some box jokes and puns.

lvl 999 storage closet. this game was really funny. Anyways we see sneevils attack the so called protectors of the realm. The knights besides Rolith are implied to be fraudulent circus performers but idk. they do their jobs but idk... the joke is probably sneevils being able to defeat knights and make the hero do all the work.

how did they setup a box stack in the middle of an attack.

badly hidden door with healing pad.

got a tanto. nice dagger and ninjas and samurai theme.

i find it funny rhe sneevil leaders are just comically large goblins. King Snurt will reappear later but till then idk.

Sir Vey survey. A short questline about furies and giant ratmen.

I pity these creatures as we attack them for no reason really now and in the future.

idk why they have gold ratmen.

tmnt reference. appropriate enough. also seppy note. He is not a joke villain of the week. we will see him frequently in bk1 and his presence can be felt everywhere.

first appearance of zorbak who is either a threat or comic relief. This bear is also relevant in bk3 backstory quest.

sir pent and serpent.

serenity and spruce. Honestly i wish we had a section of the map or at least a reference to sabrina the previous innkeeper in early games of the week. spruce is a very cute moglin.

playing this out of order due to lvl 10 limits. these pets have fun personalities and we go 'save' aria. damn.
