my favorite scp ever is scp 1171 and i just discovered them yesterday.

they live in a different dimension and can only communicate through writing on the constantly foggy windows of the house they inhabit. their name is beauremont. and they just. fucking hate humans. it’s so funny. and the best part is that they befriend someone in our dimension who works for the scp, not realizing that they’re human, and so that human is just sorta their roommate now because they’re the only one who doesn’t piss beauremont off. it’s so fucking funny.

My thembro Beauremont got fucking catfished

it’s been over a week and i still haven’t recovered from this absolutely fucking stellar addition to my post. this is literally so fucking funny.

note that whenever I say huge amounts of wealth can’t be gained through ethical methods this is what I’m talking about

To explain just a hair more, if a landlord can use someone’s rent to buy a new property, and use tenants in a new property to buy yet more property, it means every person who pays rent could have also eventually bought a property outright and not had to have such a constant drain. But, no renter could: for lack of upfront funds, for a lack of access due to racism or ableism or classism, for lack of trust given by financial institutions, etc. Put plainly, a landlord contributes no value or service but uses someone else’s funds to compound a landlord’s own riches and get more human livestock to bleed, simply because of a moment of permission granted by more powerful groups. How many people are suffering and struggling to keep an ex-nurse afloat in luxury? What is being contributed?

i know it’s just a gameplay abstraction thing but i still think that the whole “trainer class” thing in Pokemon is funny

like imagine you’re a father and the nurse comes out and says “congratulations mr. philips, it’s a Hex Maniac” and they wheel out a baby with purple hair and swirly eyes and there’s already a ghost following it around

and you’re just like “welp, guess i’m not getting grandkids”

Take a guess what every single comment on this post is

Setting aside the Hex Maniac salt issue from the comments, it’s actually a little more fun than this!  The characters change classes as they grow up.

Classes like “kindergartner,” “youngster,” and “schoolkid” are obviously temporary, and “swimmer” and “tuber” only last as long as they’re in that hobby. A couple Rising Stars mention the possibility of becoming Ace Trainers, and one Ace Trainer in SM says he won’t be an Ace Trainer forever, which is supported by a Veteran who mentioned he was once an Ace Trainer.  Pokemon aren’t the only ones who get to evolve, and aging isn’t treated as a bad thing!

The best one, though?  One opponent from the Battle Chateau proudly speaks of her transformation from a Black Belt to a Beauty.  🙂

shoutout to like 2010 or 2011 in the minecraft fandom right after the golem update came out and Notch said that there was still something in the game that nobody found yet and the entire fandom went into a frenzy scrambling to figure out what it was, combining every conceivable object with every other one, trying alchemy and magic and enchantments and searching high and low until one day someone posted on the reddit that they opened minecraft one day and the ‘c’ and the ‘e’ in the title were swapped so that it said ‘minceraft’, and notch was like ‘yeah thats what it is’. there was like a one in ten thousand-ish chance to find that easter egg and the collective fandom had run itself ragged to find this stupid meaningless easter egg.
