The entire world population becomes convinced we are living in a virtual reality game. In an attempt to wake up, we turn the planet into a nuclear wasteland.

I don't believe that. This one yes.

Is there a joke here I'm not getting?

Most 'isekai' really isn't anything more than the author being lazy about the protagonist's origin afterall. Or it might be a cheap trick to make the protagonist slightly more relatable "even though my story happens on Middle Earth, maybe Canadians will like it more if I say the hero is from...

I think Alnair or Spica would work. Alnair and Spica are both the names of very bright and very blue stars, matching the hints of 'space empire's fleet officer uniform' I get from her outfit. Alnair is the 31st brightest star when veiwed from Earth, while Spica is a double star (orbiting too...

Because Esperanto is even more sexist than Japanese and Germain combined (both have a lot of sexist artifacts in their language). In Germain, objects are assigned he (der), she (die), or it (das) roughly in equal proportions, but a list of objects called 'she' quickly becomes a rather...

Mirai Asahi from Mahoutsukai Precure (an anime rather than a written work) was quite unpopular with fans. She was considered an unrealistic and unrelatable caricature of idealism. But personally, watching the show felt like I was watching a video someone recorded of me when I was a child. I have...

Fortunately, I have no experience with cesspits at Siberian gulags. But getting paid did feel like having all the meaning sucked out of my work. It felt like I was told, 'all of your effort and aspirations only amount to this pile of paper'.

While I consider honesty an imperative and more important than almost anything in the long run, I can be easily pressured into saying things I don't believe.

I don't work because if work is worth doing its worth doing for free. Although I occasionally do volunteer work. Throwing money into the equation feels dirty and cold, like the cesspits at Siberian gulags. Maybe I'd get a job if I was a billionaire since money would no longer have meaning.

I wonder how scribblehub feels about being honest?

From a mathematic standpoint, February 29 occurs between February 28 and March 1. If the 28th passes directly the 1st, that moment is the same moment that people born on the 29th have their age counter go up, which happens without having a birthday (in the sense of 'this part of the year is your...

Kaboom. Make sure not to write your name on your suitcase at the airport.

I cry a few times every week or so, but almost never because I am sad or depressed. Instead I am frequently moved to tears when listening to music or reading a sweet story. Or stubbing my toe.

I am my own ideal sexual conquest.

I admire careful people, but I am dangerously inattentive. The DMV (BMV?) is asking for a lawsuit someday by renewing my driver's license.

Infrequently but usually once or twice a year, I have short but polite conversations with strangers. At least, I detected neither rudeness nor hostility from them, and did not intend to give such impression to them either. In less than a minute they suddenly run away from me screaming, and I...

Interesting. I've never really met any other 'yesallmen' types, but my stereotype instead has them decorating their home with an extremely girly frilly and pink style and carrying a pair of garden shears in their back pocket engraved with 'maidenmaker'.

And then there's the Whanganui River in New Zealand, officially a person, decidedly non-sapient, and further non-sentient. Good job pointing out the difference between personhood and humanity though. My country of residence has several laws making certain conduct with human corpses illegal, of...

I am a sexist misanderer. As much as I want to believe lads are equal to lassies, confirmation bias seems to be blocking evidence of equivalency (that I have faith does in fact exist somewhere) from reaching me properly. Statistics like prison gender ratios on the other hand further reinforce...
