"you have to chose one person. ONE. who you are supposed to care about more than anyone else in your life, and if you don't want that, there must be something fundamentally wrong with you and you'll eventually realise you were meant to spend your whole life with this one person who you will inevitably have sex and children with" sounds like the premise to a gut twisting psychological horror movie but nooo. it's a real life mindset shared by a frankly terrifying proportion of earth's human population

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"

OP the tags!!

being moderately proficient with computers in the early 2010s was casting a hex on your family to call you sheldon

i got a big bang theory box set and a bazinga t shirt for christmas when i was 16

my dad wanted to get me a psych eval so i could say "im not crazy. my father had me tested." like sheldon did and after the psych eval they diagnosed me with paranoid schizophrenia

this could be the funniest thing that has happened to anyone ever. my condolences king

I'm curious how many folks didn't get the pun in Adam Smasher's name until reading this post because we typically don't call particle accelerators "atom smashers" anymore.

Being real i didnt think it was a pun i just thought he was called that because it was The 80s

The two coincide more often than you might think – a lot of obnoxiously edgy 1980s villain names are also goofy wordplay.

At first I thought "who doesn't know particle accelerators are sometimes called 'atom smashers'" and then I realized 1) that most people are only broadly aware of the existence of particle accelerators and that's the nerdiest thought I've ever had, and 2) even I primarily know particle accelerators are sometimes called atom smashers because of the DC Comics superhero of the same name, who fucking no one else knows

In my experience, your average layperson is possibly aware of individual particle accelerators from having seen them name-checked in news article headlines, but doesn't know the term "particle accelerator", and isn't aware that, for example, the Large Hadron Collider is part of a specific class of devices and not just a weird one-of-a-kind contraption. Heck, they probably couldn't even tell you whether the "large" in LHC refers to the hadrons, or to the collider.

Well now I need to google if the L in LHC refers to the H or the C

Okay, it's called the Large Hadron Collider cause the Collider is Large (27km circumference)

Some quick research suggests that hadrons are generally pretty small
