Every time I see something from kitchen confidential it's one of these: 1. Chives 2. Safety hazard that makes you surprised no one died yet 3. That one fucked up comic about Ratatouille Rat

When you say "that one fucked up comic about ratatouille rat" do you mean the one by Rebecca Sugar where Linguini uses the rat to bang the woman?

74

u/No-Swordfish-5125 18d ago

The one by WHO where WHAT?? I didn't know she made a comic like this. Everything I know about this artist's works outside of "Steven universe" is against my will. I meant the comic where the sub picture comes from. From time to time I think about this and I don't know if I should laugh or be amazed by people's creativity, even if it's very strange.

u/Zek7h35an5 18d ago

Damn every time I thought I knew where that was going it sucker punched me. Anyways this is what I was talking about, it's just a cut part from the full image but yeah this was done by Rebecca Sugar, it's crazy.

On May 4th, 2022, Redditor u/Lebind[1] shared a picture of a Better Call Saul scene from season six episode four in which the villain Gus is commenting about an employee’s cooking skills not being fit for the Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant. Redditor u/Lebind added the image in the subreddit /r/okbuddychicanery[2] with the caption "I was watching BrBa and got to this scene, ĀæWhy the does gus give a shit if Walt can cook a f--king chicken?

Yeah, there’s a few subreddits that have nuisance posters who post the same thing every few months, don’t get the reaction they want so circle back and post again. r/AustinPowers has a guy who tries to bait people into discussing the intimate details of the scene on Goldmember where Austin gets buried in Sumo thongs. There’s another guy on r/Watchmen and r/AlanMoore who has an incredibly stupid and intensely researched theory about the secret identity of the character Hooded Justice from Watchmen. He’s so frantic about it that he argues with commenters endlessly and was banned for a while.

In Vintage Story, one of the big early game things you need to do is fire your clay, which involves burying it and setting it on fire

One source of burn able fuel in VS is peat, which you get just by digging it out of the ground

Now, so long as someone is paying attention, these two facts should not interact with each other

Should not are the operative words there

The Palworld community has an inside joke of someone wanting to ā€œmountā€ the pal Orzerk.

This originally started because the user suggested that Orzerk be a flying mount in the game, since it can fly, but the way it was phrased led people to think it was the…other kind of ā€œmountā€

An unfortunate slip of the tongue that turned into a widespread inside joke, and actually inspired the creation of a mod that lets you use Orzerk as a flying mount like the OP originally suggested.

Here’s an obscure one:

My gf follows a lot of true crime stuff. One crime in particular is a person who went missing from very near to where my gf grew up. She checks on it frequently enough that I know the full name of the woman who disappeared, and many details of the case.

This woman’s case has its own subreddit, as it turns out most ongoing missing persons cases do, and people post there after having seen the case on whatever true crime tv show or YouTube video.

There is… one person on this subreddit. They post often, with very weird, conspiratorial but also cryptic claims about the case. Things that are contrary to any public information about the case, or make very little sense, all couched in terms that suggest they know more than the public. This person is clearly obsessed, and clearly a little bit detached from reality.

The first time my gf mentioned them, they had a generated username, like Two-Dorothy78, but was banned pretty quickly for their batshit claims. They continue, however, to make new accounts, and are extremely recognizable by their distinctive writing style, to the point that people will post a ā€œwarning, two-Dorothy is here and posting unfounded claims againā€

My personal theory is that it is a person connected to the crime. At least once, they referenced being roughly within the area that the disappearance occurred.

Shit is weird.
