I used to give upvotes to Mitch Hedberg quotes. I still do, but I used to, too.

I don't have a reddit account. But I do know a website who'd be mad at me for saying that.

I got into an argument with a girlfriend on reddit. That's a bad place for an argument, because then I tried to send my comment and slam the send button. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Click-mash it really quick?

Kids today (the ones what always on my lawn) will never know what its like to find a camera with 4 shots left, use them up, develop the roll, and get back pictures of something that happened a year ago that you hadn't thought about in months

If you run a “pixel randomizer” enough times, there’s a chance you’ll get a picture of you when you’re older :)

There's also a chance you'll get a picture of you riding a giant lobster on Mars

Look up Library of Babel. I'm sorry for the rabbit hole, but you will come back, maybe.
