I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

    No no no no.

    It’s also acceptable for presidential speeches. The funny letters have a way of calming the elderly.

        Oh…no no no. I’m not saying it did or didn’t happen. I like to make absurd jokes, and I keep forgetting that this whole world has taken the absurdity meter, and cranked it up to 327 on a scale of 1-10.

        At this point, I could say that Bill Cosby was giving head to hobos in exchange for jello-pops, and with how absurd this world is, I’d be then asked “Which flavor was it???”

        See, when I grew up, if I had said something like that, I’d be laughed out of the serious conversation. It was just so absurd it’s funny…except now we live in a timeline where Rudy Guilliani’s hair melts, Mike Pence is known to have a fly crawl in his mouth without noticing or reacting for hours, every superpower seems to be plotting their own WWIII, and Apu from the Simpsons is taken seriously as a social progressive commentary.

        I swear when I was a kid, sci-fi was all about time travelers coming back from the year 2020 to warn of us alien invasions, and robot takeovers, and governments running big brother programs…

        And while all that IS true, you never saw any sci-fi movies in the 80s like “THE FUTURE IS STUPID!!! REALLY REALLY STUPID!!!” and then runs away.

        I blame Harambe. Thats when the absurdity levels fell off the rails.
