Back when my brother still lived with my mom, he, a full-grown adult, had a set of four square whiskey stones made of metal that he kept in the back of the freezer that he would add to a glass of whiskey every now and then. One night my mom texts me a picture of the whiskey stones while he’s not in the house with “I FOUND THESE IN THE FREEZER!” “ARE THESE DRUGS???” “WHAT IS THIS??” Like holy fuck, are you serious? Yeah, sure, they’re drugs, Mom. Cubed metal is all the rage on the streets these days. You just swallow them whole and get high as fuck.

So much winning!

Gross

One or two pieces, sure. A whole fucking cabinet? No thanks.

Fuckin’ dumb-dumbs. FAFO.

Nobody is taking Nyquil to decongest, they’re taking it to pass the fuck out.

Ding fries are done

Fuck yeah, finally someone taking action

My piece of shit phone case says “AI Autofocus” on it near the holes for the camera lenses and it’s ridiculous

I’M JACKED UP ON MOUNTAIN DEW I’LL COME AT YOU LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY OLD MAN

I call it realistic. If you think everything is going to work out, you’re delusional, man. But I hope you prove me wrong some day, I really do.

Social Security is set to run out in the 2030s, and I fully expect the stock market to crash, effectively wiping out my 401k. As others have mentioned, resources like water will start to become scarce, inciting instability.

I live in MA. My work and personal cell phones were screeching alerts every hour until it got restored. Kinda scary that it can go down like that.

I’m a late gen-Xer (born in '80, so I’m more of a “Xennial”). I have a stable job, pension, matching 401k, no kids, no debt (paid off my car and student loans), make 6 figures, and I am STILL convinced that I will never be able to retire. I feel horrible for all those who are in a worse financial situation than me, but we are all really fucked in the next 20 years.

Can confirm. My coworker in D.C. is just getting over it.
