  • I like this one. They spend their whole life being so careful not to flip the switch by accident, not doing physical activities, not walking in big crowds, never hugging someone, only wearing certain types of clothes, etc. Then it finally happens late in life and the switch does nothing. They realize that they missed out on so many experiences due to fear.

    That’s some psychological horror. Could be a Black Mirror episode.
















  • I completely agree.

    It’s a weird analogy, but it reminds me a lot of t-shirts with funny text on them. When they originally took more effort to make, someone wearing a shirt that just said “got milk?” or “talk to me after I’ve had my coffee” was considered pretty creative and funny. Now that they can be churned out at will with any image you want (you could literally screenshot our conversation and order a shirt that would be here by the weekend.), it cheapens them to the point that it’s a less desired thing to make in general.
