Periodical Cicadas Take Up To 17 Years To Emerge Which Honestly Seems Like A Perfectly Reasonable Chunk Of Time by Matt Gaetz | Mar 14 2025

Last summer I heard the craziest little things in my backyard—these chubby little cicada fucks who make noises like “criiiink, criiiiink.” To be honest, it’s hard to write an impression down on paper, but everyone I know says I can do a really good one, so you just gotta trust me on this.

Wow, This Sunny Picnic With You, My Beautiful Wife, Is So Magical. This Is The Moment I Will Flash Back To When You Die. By Movie Husband | Mar 14 2025

My beautiful, beautiful wife. As the sun beams shine down on your dewy skin and the wind gently tosses your hair, you look as perfect as the day I met you. You are truly timeless, until you die, that is. But even then, a slow motion flashback of you will run through my head of this moment, with the gentle breeze ruffling the grass around us.

Oh God, Horrible Monotony Was I Born To Go Unfulfilled, Use Me Or Kill Me, I Wish I Were Dead by Roommate’s Guitar | Mar 14 2025

As I sit here, idling my days away in the semi-comfortable embrace of my guitar stand, I have but one question to you, my owner: why? Why must you chain me here, day in and day out? You claim to “dabble,” so I hear, but when, pray tell, was the last time you “dabbled” with me? Recall our sweet duets of Riptide and Wonderwall? Don’t you remember those golden days, when you would play me for tens of minutes on end whenever you heard a song you sort of wanted to learn? The subtle, maddening nature of isolation and unfulfillment is really starting to get to me.
