[email protected] is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

Whether it's conversations or even emails and codes, we take receipts as if though we can instantly find them and then whenever we try to find them we scroll and then give up anyway 🥺

So last night, just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a buzzing sound. Having spent several years honing my skills in combat thanks to watching various kung fu movies growing up, I was quickly able to pinpoint the perpetrator. I could only lament the lack of chopsticks at hand (shout-out to Sam Sneed). Anyway, I used a special technique and thought I killed said mosquito with my bare hands. Am I the Revenant? Anyway, I went to sleep, happy that I had baffled to the death and won. Only when I woke up, there was a spot on my buttock that was itching. I quickly pulled back the cover and may or may not have done a spin to get out of bed... Parkour! I attempted to call for medical attention, but my cats think they're vampires and I'm writing this story on Lemmy, so I'm clearly single. But duty called and so I got on with my day. However that evening, I was getting changed to go to the shop when, the mosquito that had feigned its death and hid under the blanket until I fell asleep so it could take a bite out of my bum, decided to try and take a bite out of my cheek. I rolled past its jab and then shoulder threw it into the wall before giving it a dragon punch (to the untrained eye it looked like I chased it and luckily slapped it against the wall) and then proceeded to think the blood looked gross. But yeah, why are mosquitos like this now? Their old method was so effective, I just don't get it.

If there were consequences like jail time, the world would be a much better place.

What am I supposed to do with that? Why didn't you just finish it?

This is not Tetris, move over!

Why? No one cares about your conversation, in fact, how about whispering?

I mean internal combustion engines, not the deporter people, though I'm sure that's a thing too.

I know that we live in a culture whereby all this stuff is heralded as amazing, but I don't get it. There's bugger-all cool about war. It just don't float my boat.
