Evergreen xkcd

@Wormwood@poa.st I never understood the appeal to this comic

Future anthropologists will study xkcd at great length to understand the midwit phenomenon

Randall Munroe is basically reddit in humanoid form

@dogslurp@poa.st @TrevorGoodchild@poa.st @chainsaw_appreciator@nicecrew.digital @ZRDR_DelRio@shitposter.world @Wormwood@poa.st Ball pits have become a way to signal to others, that you refuse to mature in a dignified way. For kids they're mainly associated with "child storage" shops in malls, where they are put, so that their parents can shop undisturbed. But the crowd of low-functioning adults who use "adult" as a verb has come to see them as some mythical place to connect them to a childhood they probably never had.

My mom's a nurse so she (rightly IMO) thought they were dirty and never let me use them lol. So have no nostalgia for them personally.

ah yeh ball pits can be really nasty stuff, all you need is 1 little undisciplined shitter to turn one into absolute disgust, i wasn't allowed to dive into those either only dived a couple times into mud at school...

I remember as a kid once my dad fell into the mud in our local park's disk gold course (essentially gold with freebees if you don't know the name) I thought it was the funniest shit and jumped in after him lol

Cross country ran almost exclusively in the rainy season, so between the already wet conditions and the 100 or so people running it ahead of me the slope had been run bare into near pure mud by the time the group I was in ran. A bit before I reached it I saw someone slip and eat shit on it, before getting back up and running off still coated in mud. If my lungs hadn't already been burning already I would have laughed.
