Lol, autocorrect is not my friend. I meant “News”, of course.
I was wondering about that. I don’t follow sports, and I thought it was some sports term I didn’t know.
How does autocorrect turn ‘news’ into ‘bed’ anyway?
She probably hit the word hovering directly above the keyboard on her phone.
Well, first you type “news” wrong, and then auto-correct takes its best guess.
She mis-fingered the N and it goes from there.
Lol, three answers, damn we’re in a snippy mood today!
We’re like a Voltron of internet snark.
You know, that itself is a sentence that would sound crazy in 1985. Of course autocorrect didn’t exist, but also saying “lol” would sound really strange to someone in 1985.
That’s a good point. And at least in my circles, “lol” meant “little old lady” (a common feature at bridge tables.)
I imagine it’s more than 30% among younger people.
Internet snark has become progressively more pointed, but I’m not convinced that the universe is better defended as a result of any Voltronitude.
Something completely different that popped in my head:
There will be a child born on the 16th of March who will, 16 months later, die and be confirmed clinically dead only to come back to life 45 minutes later.
If you don’t know, that’s something that happened to me (and I was born in 1985). I had a seizure due to a high fever, was taken to the hospital, was put on ice (among other things) to get my temperature down, stopped breathing, was declared dead, but started breathing on my own 45 minutes later. I was expected to be a “human vegetable” (as a doctor told my mom), but neuroplasticity is amazing.
It occurred to me that, with the right wording, I sound like some religious nutter.
The obvious one now:
That screaming lady from Halloween, and that kid from Goonies are Oscar winners.
For a movie where a butt plug fight plays a pivotal role.
In 2023 that kid will have an Oscar and Harrison Ford won’t.
I thought this was a funny Tweet by their Encino Man co-star Sean Astin.
Out of that picture, if you said it was Pauly Shore with the Oscar, you’d be locked up in the mental ward lickety-split! And rightfully so.
Sean Astin has an Oscar nomination, but not for acting (Best Live Action Short Film).
Someone posted a meme on FB with the observation that Roseanne Barr is now better looking than Madonna. And while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I can see the point they were making.
I believe she always has been.
This joke was fresh around 1999, which means it was first uttered closer to 1985 than today. Maybe it wouldn’t be so hard for them to believe.
