I hired a woman who learned I was an atheist via another employee. Out of the blue, she told me that Jesus loved me, so I explained that she needed to cool her jets - no religious talk at work. But that didn't stop her. We were way out in the boonies when she continued her religious babbling, annoying the whole crew, so I fired her on the spot. Walked her to the door and told her she'd have to hitch a ride with her buddy Jesus back to her car that was several miles away.

    Great answer astral the goat, esp. since levi_G3 was too lazy or stupid to open another tab and search the word for a definition. I hope levi goes through life thinking your answer is correct.

    You may wonder how TikTok commenters can come up with such funny comments, remarks that would get the attention of a professional comedian. So we went ahead and asked one. 

    Michael Halcomb is a stand-up comic who also teaches joke writing. According to him, one thing that makes social media comments stand out is their succinctness.

    that's not a Tik Tok problem. That's a US problem.

    “On TikTok, pretty much nobody's going to read a long comment that feels like a mini-lecture. But EVERYONE will read the short roasts because they're basically mic drop moments,” Halcomb told Bored Panda.

    This is a technique called reductive writing, which Halcomb says is primarily about stripping away unnecessary words and syllables. It’s pretty much like cutting out all the fat and getting the remaining meat.

    Every joke needs a setup and a punch line. Halcomb says the TikTok videos themselves act as the setups, and all you need to do, as the writer, is to provide the final punch. 

    “When the setup is already done for you, writing the punchline is a bit easier,” he said.

    Comedy is also about disrupting patterns through absurdity, as Halcomb explains. As he noted, TikTok commenters often give the audience a masterclass in pattern disruption. 

    After people scroll and see the same thing several times, the comment that gets the most attention is the one that disrupts the pattern, often because of its absurdity.

    Social media comment sections are apparently built for such comedic banter. As PR strategist and EasyPR Co-founder and CEO Suvrangsou Das explains, these comment boxes encourage “unthought-out answers instead of refinement.” 

    “Users leave short phrases that layer upwards to produce a common joke that others who are scrolling can see,” he said, noting that readers become more involved rather than being mere spectators, while the comments become the “parallel performance” that accompanies the video itself.

    Because structure is less prioritized in social media comment boxes like TikTok, Das says short jokes become more important because of timing. Couple that with absurd phrasing that the audience is already familiar with, and you get a flow of responses. 

    “Recognized allusions provide foreigners with a common vocabulary, whereas riffing drives the joke on without requiring either ownership or set-up.”

    If you step onto a particularly pointy rock, then yes. It is bad for your sole. Other than that, it's good for your feet. I once stepped onto a pointy rock and only realized I had a hole in my foot when I arrived at home and the floor under my desk looked as if a cat hat k*lled a small animal there, except that I don't have any cats ...

    The term brony does not, in fact, come from the word bro. It comes from the fact that the fandom started on the /b/ board on 4chan. While some female bronies prefer the term pegasister, many do call themselves bronies and that's perfectly fine. Source: I'm a girl and a brony. Not a creepy one, and the ones I've known aren't creepy, either (except for that one guy who got kicked out of the brony meetup group I was in after he did bad things to me). I genuinely like the show. Well, the first five seasons. It went downhill after that. My Little Pony: Make Your Mark was great, too.

    It's like Russian roulette except with your stomach, because sometimes lactose is fine and then sometimes it really really isn't, but the cheese and ice cream are way too good to quit
