Discord desktop user

Someone who always has their discord opened in the background on their computer, so their status is always green. Despite their always online status, they are often the type of user who rarely checks their DMs, or just outright ignores your messages.

Trying to talk to a discord desktop user is as hard as getting a cat to take a bath.

Mother nature

Any external unstoppable force so strong and so unpredictable that it cannot be quantified. Humans have grown to think about themselves as masters over their environment, but when face to face with mother nature, we lose. Every. Single. Time.

Only the wise will understand and accept that nothing, not even humans and their scientific prowess, can control mother nature. The fool, on the other hand, deludes themselves into thinking that they are impervious to anything.

Be smart, don't ever underestimate mother nature.

COVID-19 is mother nature's wake up call that the human condition is and always has been fragile. Apparently, some very special individuals did not understand her wake up call and continue to live life accordingly to their rules. We call those very special individuals "anti-maskers".

disinterested thread

1. Generally, any sort of internet comment thread (community) where the individuals engaging in the thread conform to dominant beliefs, and are insular towards those that present a different viewpoint. Note that a disinterested thread is different from a chauvinistic thread, as the latter will aggressively attack different viewpoints, while the former simply does not care.

2. Specifically, any sort of internet comment thread—particularly on YouTube—where the individuals engaging in the thread (usually mid-late teens to young adults) are happy-go-lucky casuals and do not attempt to pursue the topic of interest further, often due to ignorance or a short attention span. Thus, when the so-called reply guy comes in with a paragraph, the casuals react with a "wut" attitude and completely dismiss his or her critical and edifying perspectives. This usually comprises of the entire thread either ignoring the intellectual all together, or replying back with something like "I don't get it" or "no one really cares". Further attempts of enlightening the casuals might only be perceived as an annoyance and may cause some of them to mute the comment thread.

Unfortunate to the intellectual, he or she might feel utterly neglected, and loses faith in the young generation's ability to think critically.

Combined with the typical "the internet is not school" mentality, casuals on the internet may never learn, and will object to any sort of information that challenges their mindset.

YouTube comment thread on a Mukbang video:

OP: Literally every time I see the word Mukbang in the title, I get super hungry, does that happen to anyone else?? {207 likes | 3 days ago}

> Reply 1: Omg that literally happens to me every single time too! {26 likes | 3 days ago}

> Reply 2: Happens to me too! {20 likes | 3 days ago}

> Reply 4: Yeah same, I think it has something to do with something called operant conditioning {16 likes | 3 days ago}

> Psychology student: @Reply 4 Psychology student here. Actually, it has nothing to do with operant conditioning, what you're referring to is classical conditioning, which is the pairing of an unconditional stimulus with a neutral stimulus. You see, the word Mukbang is a neutral stimulus, but because it has been repeatedly paired with the concept of eating loads of food, it has a strong association with food, and food is an incentive that triggers ghrelin. {0 likes | 2 days ago}

body pillow

Ok I know body pillows often get stereotyped for appealing to sad lonely hearts but let's be honest, they are comfy as hecc and it improves your sleeping quality. You don't have to be lonely, heartbroken, or have some sort of kinky desire, any person could find body pillows beneficial.

Friend 1: What's in that huge box?
Friend 2: Oh that? It's a new body pillow that I bought.
Friend 1: Dang, you lonely?

deceived

Gettin' played

I was deceived 6 months ago by an e-girl who I paid to see a custom video. She seemed well-intentioned, but once I sent that Amazon GC she immediately abandoned my texts.

🥰

For girls this emoji is as innocent as a sweet summer child, but for guys it's a whole different story. And for all the real degenerates out there, it can get used in the most objectionable way possible.

Normal girl A: Look at my new french manicure!!
Normal girl B: Ouuuuu so cute!🥰

Degen girlfriend: *farts in her bf's face*
Degen boyfriend: Ooooooo 🥰
