  • Which is why I didn't say I was going to do it. I just said I had the urge to do it, and admitted it was silly and weird, we're saying the same thing.

  • I mean, languages evolve over time anyway. If I transported you back 200 years, you would sound like an idiot to everyone around you.

  • I don't think our English is anywhere close to Olde English though, we might be hardly able to understand them ourselves, and I don't think they would understand us at all.

  • I also feel like suggesting people wash their hands, and having it work, would immediately get you accused of being a witch.

  • Oh! You could start Mormonism! Its super new as far as religions go, and it was mad easy to convince the masses it was real, all you do is say you have special tablets of text that only you have been given the ability to read by God, and BAM new religion just launched and you're the leader.

  • Because thats how people in the USA act, like ending up in a trailer park is the worst thing that could happen to them. They would rather pay $2,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment than $450 for a 3 bedroom trailer simply because they don't want to be thought of as "trailer trash". Its very stupid and irresponsible, but any time I bring it up to anyone irl, that I am not paying a million dollars for rent the way they are, which is why I can work part time and still afford more than them, they have 45,000 excuses and reasons why that couldn't possibly be true, even when I actively show them my rent receipts and paychecks.

  • This seems like a good idea, but you would have to make a lot of changes to make it relevant to the times. I think it could work

  • You're so aggressive for no reason. I didn't even remotely suggest I actually bought the TP I was just commenting on my silly thoughts. Lighten up. It has to be miserable being so miserable.

  • Care to expand on why?

    Edit: I remembered what Planet Amazonia was like 3.5 seconds after making this comment, but now I feel weird deleting it.

  • I considered going to the Wizarding World too, but what if I end up a Muggle? Also, I'm 34 I can't exactly enroll in Hogwarts at this point.

  • I live in rural America and can't say I have the same experience as you do. I (34F) dress like a "bum" 99% of the time (T-Shirts, jeans/leggings, hair thrown in a bun) and thats how most of my busy friends dress too when they are not at work. However I do think if you live in a city or just a more populated area that its realistic to think you may end up on camera at any point during the day, and you want to look good for that, so you could feel compelled to try and always look your best.

    Every once in a while, I do get full glam to go to the local grocery store because I really don't go anywhere else, and I want a reason to "dress up" and I can imagine that there's a lot of that going on too.

  • Yeah, I can get one on Amazon right now for less than $50, so I can definitely afford it with my own spending money. I really should just do it.

  • I want one so bad, but I can't get the husband on board. I have considered just buying it and installing it myself via the "do it anyways and ask for forgiveness" method, but dunno if butt spray is a battle I'm willing to choose yet. I just want to convince him it's a good idea.

  • Y'all are gonna roast the shit out of me, but I really have a strong urge to buy toilet paper before all the weirdos start clearing the shelves (which I am fully aware makes me one of the weirdos)

  • Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they're Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

    I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

  • But that would require effort on my part.

  • I would take a risk and choose something crazy like The Walking Dead or Fallout. I'm trying to live out my Billy Badass dreams and if I die so be it.

  • This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.
