Apples and potatoes are basically the same plant, we've just bred apples to be sweeter. So why is one a fruit and the other a vegetable?

I want to live in a world where bananas were bread for seeds and turned into hummus. Pumpkin Spice hummus isn't even a plant! *waves fist*

Actually, thinking about it, banana peels make good humus, so we're half way there!

Ontological epistemology is trolling for the sake of having people to consider perspectives outside their worldview.https://t.co/DG4bflqN6S https://t.co/c8hLUyXMzG

The world is full of confusing double-speak, ontological absurdities, amphibious language, analogy mismatches, and preference falsification.

It's ok sometimes to sit back & laugh at it all. Shakespeare, in native tongue, was full of poop jokes an inuendo.https://t.co/BJGH2SGanw

I just realized how strange it is that I grew up calling my grandparents "Mémé" & "Pépé" given the current state of internet meems.

Trolling as a group activity... runaway teasing as inside joke?"...We all want to save each other from nihilism." https://t.co/gOfTyHjFzR https://t.co/MRUxo4KsMx

@ultimape ^ I am familiar with the ingroups memes. I have seen them before. Those other memes, the ones the outgroup uses, scare me. https://t.co/l8YUYQryky

Have you ever tried calling something what it is not, and realizing it actually was in some contexts?https://t.co/ctPKdl1BJw

You can't spell hoarse without oars, therefor by induction boats are now sea-horses. I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. https://t.co/z8hdi9YkVR
