Oh wow. That is pure badness. It’s really detailed and premeditated. When I was about 4, my brother told me I was a baby Sasquatch that Dad found while he was out hunting in the woods. He and Mama decided to adopt me so they shaved me and dressed me up like a human. I believed him for at least a few months until my…

Do big sisters just all think alike or something? My sister used to tell me my family were vampires and they were fattening me up to eat me.

That sounds like an episode of Home Improvement, when Brad and Randy convinced Mark that they and their parents were all aliens, and that if he walked backwards they couldn’t suck out his brains.

We told my brother the opposite - that he was the alien and his alien parents had swapped him for our real brother and one day they’d come back to get him. Then he saw ET and was completely messed up. He is still terrified of aliens at 31 years old. But he keeps this creepy stuffed ET in a closet like some weird…

Soooo many of my cousins and friends were aliens.

How potentially awful, I thought you were an actual orphan, and your adoptive families other kid told you they were going to kill you! Thank you for clarifying.

This made me laugh. Like the body is some weird Rube Golberg-esque machine. Thank you for this gift.

You sound just like my older brother when we were kids...

My dad told me that cows have shorter legs on one side than the other, so that they can stand on hills and not fall down. He also told me that the leaves he was smoking were “Turkish Tobacco.”

I believed for a good many years that I was indeed the first person to see—nay notice—my baby brother on the day he was born. My mum let me hold onto that one for a significant time, probably because I was so excited, and had cried at Christmas the year before because Father Christmas hadn’t brought me the brother I…

I am so god damned gullible i can’t even remember all of them. Most recently, JUST THIS WEEK, a coworker emailed to say her kid was reciting a poem at his school for the Christmas pageant and that “it would be on CNN.”

For some weird reason, my father told me that if you cut off your belly button, your butt would fall off. This fucking fascinated me, and I would spent way too much time thinking about what the inner workings of the human body could possibly be to make sure a thing happen.

Your name inspired this gif:

I’m sure this has been pointed out before, but Turing Pharmaceuticals is an extremely ironic name for a company that acts without basic humanity.

I’m pretty sure a “little” case of voter fraud and disenfranchisement in Jeb Bush’s Florida lost Al Gore that election. Interesting how the narrative has changed such that we blame 2.5% of the population for what was clearly a massive failure of democracy on the state and federal levels.

Any brand of feminism I don’t agree with = radical feminism.

Meh, sounds pretty strawman to me.

Meh, sounds pretty strawman to me. I work, my wife stays at home. I focus on work, so she can focus on doing everything else. It is a team effort. My role is to make sure bills get paid and to keep the kids away from her while she makes dinner. Her job is to care for our preschoolers and to stay on top of school for…

It’s factual, but it’s still just BS conservatives peddle. “You’re encouraging women to do something else, therefore you must be demonizing them if they want to be ‘traditional’. Ohhh, once a feminist was mean to my wife so all feminists are misogynists.” In general, feminism is about choice and always has been. Early…
