YEP.

I’m the same way, actually.

I know I’ve seen that coined as an online law in the vein as Murphys Law, with a name attached to it, but A) I don’t remember it and made a name up for the bit, and 2: That was prolly made up as well which only compounds the joke.

Ahh, Morrigan’s Law. Fastest way to get answers online is to make a false claim. People will correct you swiftly.

I’m autistic as fuck and even I have better communication skills. Mate, if you aren’t confident enough in the humor you’re trying to share to simply explain the joke, then it’s probably not humor worth sharing. Please explain the punchline so that I may understand what humor you’re trying to share with us.

Hi, I’m also confused. Perhaps instead of accusing a confused commenter of being offended you could explain the punchline to us so that we can understand what it is you find amusing about an image of people underneath a sign that says “British Meeting Point.”

Just for gits 'n shiggles or something along the lines?

Corrected, thanks.

Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the thorn eth rather than spelling the word “the” out? Ain’t bothered by it or nothin’, just interesting to see out in the wild online!

Autistic fella who’s very texture sensitive here. Why have I never considered that myself? That sounds heaps handy for giving me healthier meal choices.

I’ll throw RRR onto the international pile since it’s the kinda film that feels like the greatest movie ever while you’re watching it.

Iunno man, just a skinge of Brasso and them breats are pearly shiny 'n blindingly incandescent.

Having never heard of this show until now, I’m gonna assume the subversion lies in “it was all a dream” territory?

No that’s the one made extinct by feral cats, but that’s a different episode of Tom Scott’s Citation Needed than the one where I learned about the bird I was thinking of. Completely forgot that’s where I’d heard about it!

The bird I had in mind is the Great Auk, which was mentioned in a separate episode of Citation Needed lol

From Wikipedia: "The last pair, found incubating an egg, was killed there on 3 June 1844, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens.[56][c]

Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson, the men who had killed the last birds, were interviewed by great auk specialist John Wolley,[59] and Sigurður described the act as follows:

The rocks were covered with blackbirds [guillemots] and there were the Geirfugles ... They walked slowly. Jón Brandsson crept up with his arms open. The bird that Jón got went into a corner but [mine] was going to the edge of the cliff. It walked like a man ... but moved its feet quickly. [I] caught it close to the edge – a precipice many fathoms deep. Its wings lay close to the sides – not hanging out. I took him by the neck and he flapped his wings. He made no cry. I strangled him.[8]: 82–83  

I’m struggling to remember the details, but I recall one account where somebody found a very rare, very endangered bird with its nest, strangled the bird and smashed the eggs within the nest, effectively just for shits and giggles. I’ll edit and update this if I can find the details.

Edit: The Great Auk. Wasn’t killed for shits and giggles, but they were desired for their down to the point the European populations were hunted into extinction. From Wikipedia:

Wishing you the best of luck regardless, mate. You aren’t alone in this.

In the event this is a legitimate admission of intent, here mate. I hope you can find peace for your troubled mind.

What is wrong with you that makes you think this is an appropriate response to “I am planning a suicide”? As somebody who has stared down the business end of a 12 gauge solution, you’re frankly despicable.
