    Back in high school, I saw some meme on 4chan right before bed that said something like “Spooky fact #666: If you wake up at 3:33am, it means someone is watching you”. It even included some generic horror movie / demon face and I chuckled to myself because it was so silly and over the top.

    Well that night, I randomly woke up, turned to face my clock, and saw it was exactly 3:33am. I was still half asleep but I remembered the meme I saw and thought to myself “How funny would it be if I turned over and saw someone watching me?” So I turned over, thinking I could put my silly fears to back to bed. Except, there was a shadowy figure standing in my open doorway. I was paralyzed with fear and accepted that I was going to be killed by a demon or ghost or whatever paranormal creature decided to fulfill the prophecy of “spooky fact #666” and just closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

    I woke up in the morning without any further incidents and assumed it was just a nightmare caused by a dumb meme. I got out of bed and bumped into my mom in the kitchen, and I mentioned the nightmare I had last night about the demon. She laughed to herself and responded, “Oh that was me, I like to watch you sleep at night when I can’t sleep.” It’s been over a decade and I still have waking nightmares sometimes where I think I see shadowy figures standing in my room.






  • I’m constantly astounded that people seem to unironically enjoy that movie. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade so I stay away from discussions about it, but I saw it in theaters (because I also love Jason Statham) and immediately regretted it. It felt like it was written as a joke, but then tried to take itself seriously, and failed at both. I feel like I’m getting pranked by people saying they like that movie.


  • There’s a couple 40%-ers in the comments but not nearly enough. It took me years to learn to properly type, but once I did, I fell in love with a 40%. There’s some cool designs out there for small keyboards, like the Minimi 40 with a combination lid & wrist rest (not released yet, but it’ll be glorious once it’s finally available).

  • The original scene: https://www.tiktok.com/@tm.jy/video/7246655883751558426 (I could only find a TikTok link unfortunately).

    For those who don’t want to click through, Tom is hit on the head by a woman (an actual racist caricature named Mammy Two Shoes) and starts to think he’s a mouse. He grows buck teeth (like a mouse or rat), starts eating cheese, and attempts to sleep on Jerry’s bed (as seen in the meme).

    It’s important to recognize racist stereotypes, especially with how prevalent they were in old cartoons, but it’s also important to avoid jumping to conclusions and calling out problems that aren’t there.
