Software-engineer social skill level:

I just said "see ya", casually, to the Uber Eats delivery guy.

Morgan Freeman: "He, will never see him again."

“Enjoy your movie”
“You too”

Did he reply with "Thanks, you too"?

@kamen He did reply back with "See you!"

“Do you want your receipt?”
You too!

“… okay. Have a nice day.”
No thanks.

this one ain't too bad, in my city we usually see the same guys, one would walk to my driveway with my food and when I open the door the dude usually asks me how I've been etc.

I don't see the awkwardness in this, just seems like you were being polite and friendly.

Much better than the rest of autistic screeches that we get from most developers.

Driver: "Enjoy your food"
Me: "You too"

They probably hear this stuff way too often and stopped to care

@rantsauce that means he loves you 😉🥰

@phat-lasagna should I ask him out?

@rantsauce be like “hey, um, every time I see you, I feel really happy and excited inside. I see you come up to my door and I start salivating. I was wondering uhhh if I could deliver food to you sometime”

@phat-lasagna call it experiments in reality busting.

Like two or more people intentionally engaging in "this is fine." Uncomfortable situations.

Now get lots of people to do it.

Give me an app that lets me call strangers to my door, like uber eats, but instead they stick their fingers in people's mouths. Not like sexually. Just because.

And then automates posting the video to youtube.

Like a commentary on how, past a certain age, social trends become indistinguishable from behavioral noise.

Earliest I seen was that grainy distorted meme of lord farquad, and the only text posted is the letter "E".
It's funny because it means nothing, and it means nothing to the others who posted it, and its funny *because* you are *aware* it means nothing.

It's like looking into the abyss, and then the abyss looks back at you, but then you're like "lololololol" dying laughing, instead of feeling some sort of sudden existential dread.

Nihilism elevated to the level of trend-comedy.

@phat-lasagna I snorted laughed. Thank you.

@Root I vote for this one.

@Wisecrack man, I think you're too smart for devRant

Thanks to working at mcdonalds night shifts for three years I've got a fucked up sleep schedule

at mornings I say good evening

And evenings I say good day

Every fucking time

@Wisecrack I think it’s also our awareness of expectations we see in a visual and lexical context. For example we all know what Lord Farquaad looks like and his role as a character and he is kind of a funny one at that. When you put some distortion on the image, and the letter E in that meme format font, the brain automatically makes connections from both the history of distorted, absurdist memes up to that point as well as the joy of imagining the implied context that the creator made. For example, is Farquaad saying the letter E? That itself would be funny, kind of like how if someone started singing the ABC’s on the subway in the morning.

@rantsauce it's probably just the schizophrenia demons talking.

@phat-lasagna "kind of like how if someone started singing the ABC’s on the subway in the morning."

That is surprising funny actually.

only its just the letter E. Over and over. High pitched.

"look, its that crazy homeless guy on the subway again!"

guy: "im not homeless! E!"
