So in high school, I had to drop out my senior year. Rumors get around and I was at one of my best buddies’ birthday party. I’m talking to my ex gf and she’s really down. More than I can reasonably understand. I start prying. She eventually tells me that she used to date someone who looked like me but not also like a skeleton and he just died and talking to me was really harshing her buzz. I gave her the old Forrest Whittaker eye™ and asked her what she thought my name was.
She spent the next ten minutes excitedly dashing around the party telling everyone and anyone that I was alive, so her shock seemed genuine. I should have asked her how she thought I died.
I was at a party once, a little drunk, told a girl I was psychic and could guess her name. I thought it would be a good icebreaker, we would laugh at me guessing wrong etc.
I got it right. She thought I was a stalker or something and told all her friends to stay away from me.
Good times.
I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.
So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.
Obama was there
Thanks Obama.
What english speaking country has both ‘high school’ and trains?
Edit: ok turns out the twitter account is based in LA
I live in three different cities and in those cities, people use train, subway, and trolley interchangeably.
We do have trains in the US, they’re just awful in most places.
We have trains in Utah, and high schools.
New York City
Australia
We have both of these things in Canada.
Chicago
England
England doesn’t have high school, here it’s secondary school and sixth form
I went to a high school in England. We had first (1-4) middle (5-8) high school (9-11).
I also had this format but apparently it’s not usual. I’m guessing by your username you’re Scottish, or at least Northern
When/where was this? I thought the system I had in east anglia was standard across the country
West Midlands, about 20 years ago. You would think there’d be some standardisation, but the more people I meet the more random it all seems.
You would think there’d be some standardisation
Wait we can’t do that we’re British
American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones…
Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back
Ahh I see, I guess it doesn’t rule out the tweeter being American then
Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)
Woah that’s a lot more rail than I was expecting!
Yup turns out the tweeter is in LA
“And the rest…here on Gilligans Island!!!”
We haven’t been known for trains in a while, but America
I guess he could have meant subway by train
We already have light rail and even heavy rail commuter trains in many places.
My name used to be Rachel but they made it illegal in my country after the Friends finale so I had to change it to Dave. It doesn’t really suit me but it’s nice whenever I introduce myself people are like “wow. Dave, that’s such a unique name”. I’ve only ever met one other Dave in my life and he was a total loser like me so we hit it off pretty well and got married 6 days ago at a Asian grocery store in The Dominican Republic.
I hope I meet another Dave one day so I can marry him too. I’ve considered changing my name back to Rachel since it doesn’t seem to be illegal anymore but you know that name just doesn’t suit me as well as Dave.
All the people I know that go by Dave are 60+ years old. David is the youthful version.
This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.
This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell
Honestly I miss early AI.
I miss the ugly art. I miss the weird tangents. I miss Will Smith eating spaghetti and consuming himself.
I know you can set up a quick AI to relive this… But it was better when it was the norm.
It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.
This sort of randomness seems more like the text produced by a markov chain than a modern LLM.
Yesterday we were having a conversatiion about how AI can only make mundane stories like Avatar.
The opposite of this.
But i feel both ae true.

Right, mhm, cause we all know you’re totally human, right? aha, aha
I have a note against their user, “Absurdist”. I don’t know whether they’re using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I’ve come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.
How the hell would I generate these using a Liquor License of Montreal? That makes about as much sense as shaving a kiwi to ride an airplane toy to the oven.

You’re a poet. Where do I subscribe?

Pretty straight forward, really. It’s a story as old as time.

Can’t believe people upvote this shit.
Guess I’ll just block this account then.
I thought it was silly and funny. It has classic Reddit all over it.
Guess I’ll never get into Jay’s bone zone. Love you Doug.
Ooo ooo, block me too!!! I wouldn’t want you to accidentally have any fun!
licks your forehead
Block4Block? 😘
I don’t believe you.
Dominican Republic doesn’t have Asian grocery stores with enough space to host a wedding.
That’s what made it so special
Should’ve went with Ashley instead.
Then she’d be Wario’s girl.
Dont know that reference
Wario is a character in the super mario bros universe. On the gamecube and game boy advance, Wario dated (or maybe still is dating?) Ashley.
