Yeah, it's frustrating to be in that position. Some communities I can post to, but some I only have comments to contribute.

some activists made an entirely new issue of Tintin that way...
Imagine if you fender-bended the reverend right in front of it. Rev would be like: why did you do that? You: (points to sign.)
This person evil genies!
Yeah, I wouldn't have minded if we'd all washed the dishes together. iirc I never cooked for them again; I brought take-out once for a special occasion, but I told them to eat out of the containers bc I wasn't doing their dishes.
One consideration is: is there an "evil genie / monkey's paw" caveat to this? Like, maybe someone's death is postponed, but they are in terrible agony every second until then. Or maybe they die on Mars, but a dictator destroys Earth in the process of getting us there.
That might make a half-decent sci-fi story. Like: someone gains this capability, but they have a notion that there's an evil-genie caveat to it. So they try to advance science, but just a little bit at a time; basically they are experimenting to make sure there's no such caveat (and to get around it, if there is.) However, they are leaving a trail of the dead. And at the end, it turns that while no individual death/accomplishment had a monkeys-paw-like side-effect, all of the deaths combined resulted in a terrible downside.
Same. I'd save it for myself in case I was being tortured by terrorists or received a terminal diagnosis or something.
I eventually learned that. tbh I think I just associate cast iron pans with that annoying former roommate.
Socialism is when the mice make their own cheese.
ikr they should pull themselves up by their mouse-straps.

Bonus comic:
MaryDeath is a comic about life, death, and everything in between. The story follows a young girl named Mary who happens to have befriended Death. Why Death has chosen to take interest in Mary remains a mystery, but despite his ever dark presence Mary finds comfort in his companionship.

MaryDeath Comics was created in the 2010s by Gwen Tarpley. The artist transitioned recently, but it seems they don’t mind their deadname being on their older comics (i.e. some of the recent posts still use it on their Cats Cafe comic, which is their main effort now.)
Reminder that on !vampires@lemmy.zip Count @Zagorath@aussie.zone is posting a timed readthrough of the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. bc it's an epistolary novel told in letters and diary entries and stuff, so you can read it over the course of a couple months by reading the entry that happened on that day, see?
If you click on this link I think you'll see all the posts so far in mostly the right order.
Anyway, I made this meme template to tell a mundane story on !dullsters@dullsters.net and I wanted to use it in another context, and this is the best I could come up with. The images are from the 1992 movie Dracula. Here's the template if ya wanna do better:
I have a bit of a headache so I grabbed a couple acetaminophens in "easy to swallow caplet" form. then I grabbed my water bottle, but it was empty. fml. grabbed the empty bottle and prepared to head downstairs to fill it up. Bumped that fingernail that I keep meaning to cut. ow. ok, I'll cut it now while I remember. but I got these pills in my hand.
no problem, I'll hold the pills with my lips while I trim the fingernail, then head downstairs for the water. OK, find clipper, trim. pills still in lips. OK, downstairs, OK, fill waterbottle. pills still in lips. Prepare to swallow pills.
wtf the pills are stuck to my lip somehow. Kinda like how your tongue gets stuck to a lamp-post, I guess? but it's not even cold. probably just a little sticky or something. just force the pills off my lips, no problem. hurts a bit more than expected.
Look in the mirror: my lip is freakin' bleeding from where the pills were stuck on them! each pill took a small strip of skin with it! there are two little cuts, one each from each pill. wtf!? how is this even possible...
there was only one way to express my state of mind....
I told my cousin and showed them this meme and I was like: this is my life now. this is how I spend my saturday nights. and cuz was like: taking pills and making memes! living the life!
