A huge list of chores: exists
White figure: Boredom! Nothing to do!

Don’t call me out like that.

Imagine if someone kills you for fun but they aren't even having fun with it anymore they're just bored, that would extra suck.

Shit is input to the second segment.

Double-shit is double-input to the third segment.

Next time I have to explain why AI is a problem to someone, I’m just going to tell them to think about the digestive cycle in human centipede.

Close the loop and the metaphor is perfect.

It's pretty funny how the pretentious director keeps self inserting himself into the terrible sequels

Why isn't their own suffering satisfying their thirst?

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Boredom is quite a different feeling than suffering. Or I guess, boredom can be suffering, but not all suffering is boredom. Perhaps they are bored of boredom suffering.

Lmao I almost glossed over the 3rd one because I was only half paying attention

Nothing to do with boredom specifically, I think. When I worked in downtown Montreal, in the Before Times(tm), we'd head to the food court that had easily 35+ restaurants at the time. We were all hungry, yet couldn't decide on anything.

Me with PC games ever since the typical timeline of my favorite kinds of games went from "one every year or two, three at the most" to "lifespan of a Miniature Schnauzer" 😮‍💨

I'm currently replaying Skyrim for the umpteenth time while I wait for The Outer Worlds 2 and Bloodlines 2 to come out almost simultaneously later this month after 6 years and twenty fucking one years since their respective original games!

A fine dinner with rich people would fix the boredom.

(The rich people not sitting on chairs, but on plates 🍽😋)

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah.... Wait, what

The struggle is real!

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is not the right way to watch the news. If you start to enjoy the news for this reason....

.....oh, is that how serial killers are made? It's a cope for suffering? Identifying with it so you're safer from it?

Psycho shit.
