I don’t get it. What is spooky or scary?
I thought it was just a funny joke.
Now don’t look at the lamp next to your sofa too closely.
Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed… blurry at the edges, in a very “vignette filter” kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I’d try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.
In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven’t any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.
I had a dream like that about an ex. Everything perfect, house, kids, the whole thing. It felt like one of those super realistic dreams too. I woke up and got a panic attack that fucked me over for 3 or 4 days when I realized it was just a dream. Human psyche is scary as fuck sometimes.
But you can’t kiss a duck on the lips from the word go. Just ask Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Oh, you know it’s October when we’re bringing the spooky shitposts out. Like, I have spectrophobia, and I’ve had actual nightmares about this shit happening lol.
I know you’re going for creepy buuuut I read it more like a dude who doesn’t get what a painting is.
This is actually really interesting and I think about it every time I look in a large mirror. IIRC it is because the mirror is always “halfway” between you and your mirror image. So as you step back your mirror image gets further away and looks smaller, but so does the mirror.
Right, but this only works if you have DuckDuckGo set as your search engine.
Mirror technology timeline!
Chirality ‘n’ shit.A mirror’s primary surface - a metal like silver that has just one electron sticking out alone in the top atomic orbital, plus other free electrons sliding around the surface, I believe - absorbs photons, then re-emits new photons almost exactly like the ones that came in.
