I came up with the spelling based on the word "pattern", and this was just a screwy way of spelling it ~30 some years ago and it's just what I've always used. I'd probably be screwed if I had to rely on it, other than finding patterns in nature can help animals stay alive, I guess? That's all I got.

[–] dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I can live off soiled bread I suppose

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The best I can make sense of it is that I make my money as some sort of emo catboy vtuber. Assuming I'm not already reasonably popular, that boils down to how good a streamer I can be and the economic factors of going into the EN vtubing industry after the initial boom. And I'm already at a disadvantage because "emo catboy" is a weak concept that lacks originality.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm going to pick my nose!

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm aceing at it, sadly.

[–] ieatmeat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty good actually.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ganon with the Morph Ball upgrade would be U N S T O P P A B L E

I stare at the wall reciting pi over and over, while my body withers, mind untethered, consumed by a mathematical void.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe dying isn't so bad after all...

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

With the US healthcare system? Expensive.

[–] bfg9k@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'd be just fine.

[–] NotAtWork@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

It's not just about me and my dream of doing nothing. It's about all of us. I don't know what happened to me at that hypnotherapist and, I don't know, maybe it was just shock and it's wearing off now, but when I saw that fat man keel over and die - Michael, we don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Guess I'd better whip out the scarves and space berets. I'll be just fiiine.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm just some random Lord now, which theoretically will come with resources so I should be okay

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, I can hunt, I guess.

[–] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I got an RC car... At least I'll die having fun.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Would be nice to be buzzed all the time

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I’m pretty fucked if my ability to stay alive is predicated upon my assembly programming abilities. Don’t ask me to multiply.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm fire proof, and a shit speller.

[–] Whippygoatcream@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Uh oh...but if taken literally like the idea my best friend had when we were on acid and whip its, could be delectable. I'm willing to take the risk.

[–] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Most of them are dead, but Mr Burns has enough money to keep me going a while.

I'm not gonna worry about it

[–] totallynotarobot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Curse this mortality, amiright fellow human?

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being a 'jockbox genius' means I'd be living on 'spam street', good buddy!

I try to save money anyway, so I guess it’ll be ok. At least as long as nobody needs avenged.

[–] jerrythegenius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I should be fine, just gotta change my name

spoilerI may also need to get smarter

[–] PlasterAnalyst@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

The walls are closing in...

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I now rule a highly advanced, militaristic, and xenophobic alternate reality and have psionic abilities. It's not as great as is sounds, my future wife is going to psionically teleport a gray-goo bomb into my chest at the end of the big climactic boss fight.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not bad, especially if she comes with her ship.

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 4 points 1 year ago

I would have to go back to reddit to get an "open in new tab" function. This username is actually because I created an account once (years ago) after nuking my first one just so I could have the "open in new tab" functionality back.

[–] mtchristo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Monté Christo was quite skillful.

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I think I'd be alright.
