I've been having weird dreams. I don't usually dream at all, but now I'm dreaming every day... and they are suprisingly coherent, and I can actually remember them a fair bit. A few days ago I dreamt that someone walked in my room. Like, I dreamed that I was in bed, and someone opened my door, walked in, and stared at me for a second (I thought it was one of my roommates). The spooky thing, though, was that I was already half-awake at this point, so I pulled myself out of bed, terrified.

My poor dog. These kittens that have been abandoned by their mother are trying to nurse from my dog. All she can do is get away from them, or grumble and whine until I come over and haul them off.

These guys are too old to be nursing, they should be weened but apparently their mother thinks that means slapping and hissing at them whenever they come near her, so now they want a new mom. How the fuck am I supposed to deal with this? We've had mothers dump their kittens before, but there was another female cat who adopted them. Their grandmother, in fact. My dog is fixed, though.

A journalist tweeted about being stuck in an Amtrak elevator, and got a customer service reply 7 months later: "sorry to hear that, are you still stuck in the elevator?"

Sounds like a customer service screw up at the company. But then you read the fine print in the article: she forgot to add any hashtags related to the company, so the tweet was literally to nobody.

And you though Japan worshipped lolis:

In Nepal they have actual loli goddesses.

In Nepal they have actual loli goddesses.

I don't think Loli just means "12 and under"... I think it means something a bit different

It's a person who looks underage, but actually isn't.

It can mean all of those things depending on the context.

I was feeling very sick after eating some top ramen. I had a Pepsi and it made me feel better.

Pepsi usually makes me feel sick. What the hell?

[hector13]

Why are you drinking Pepsi if it normally makes you fell bad?

It killed the thing that was making you sick. It's like chemotherapy en miniature.

So, I was playing Anchorhead.

You know, Anchorhead...?

Classic text adventure game...?

I have no friends Anyway! I was playing it, and it's very heavily inspired/directly in the world of the Master of Madness himself, HP Lovecraft. So naturally weird shits going down

So, my character climbed into a  well. So far, the games only had suggestive horror I.e. Whispered tales, drunks talking about things the locals won't talk about, M.C. HP's bread and butter, Yaknow?

Anyway, climbed into a well, and this is what the description read

In The Well
The sky is a dim circle of light far above you. The stone walls close in on you on all sides, and the air is clammy and frigid. The faint odor of decay drifts from the floor; the smell of a trapped animal decomposing under the back porch.

(So, at this time I'm thinking, cool, another dark and creepy place for me to poke around in. Then I read the next sentence)
"You are standing knee deep in a rattling jumble of childrens bones

And this is where the description ends. No explanation, no further horror cliches. Just that single, matter-of-fact statement. It scared the shit outta me. I mean, this games (and HPs) entire premise is subtle horror, fear that is palpable but not quite confirmed. So now, when they finally get to the real dirty business, in such an unexpected place, at such an early time, in such a factual way... Jesus. Additionally, the sentence that was the kicker was desperate from the main paragraph. You thought that it was going to be something besides description, like one of the random sounds or events that generally happen to make the game feel real. May not seem so bad here, but man did it sucker-punch me when I first read it.
