They Got That Eloi-ness Now.

They got that Eloi-ness now.

I love that the memes and style of posting Redditors are bringing over are very Tumblr-esque but they're not quite the same, with just enough distinction they have an ever so slight different vibe to them.

It's like convergent evolution where we've both got wings but one's leathery, the other feathery, or we're both large aquatic swimmers but one has gills, the other a blowhole, and we inhabit slightly different but potentially overlapping niches.

Twitter users on the other hand evolved from us after leaving the population and are now unrecognisable.

Yikes.

Ranpo: I’m the smartest person in the world. Poe: Prove it. Ranpo: Okay, ask me anything. Poe: What’s the square root of 81? Ranpo: Easy. It’s 9. Poe: Correct. Now, what’s the square root of -81? Ranpo: Impossible. There is no such thing as a negative number. Poe: Actually, there is. It’s called an imaginary number, and the square root of -81 is 9i. Ranpo: Imaginary? Like your girlfriend?

Ouch.

Yosano: How do you feel? Naomi: I feel like I’m dying. Yosano: Don’t worry, you’re not dying. You’re just in pain. Naomi: What’s the difference? Yosano: Dying is permanent. Pain is temporary. Naomi: How temporary? Yosano: Until I heal you. Naomi: How long will that take? Yosano: As long as it takes.

Kunikida is unhappy, to say the least

Kunikida: Ranpo, please focus. We have a case to solve. Ranpo: Fine, fine. But first, can you answer me this: If you had to choose between saving a drowning puppy or a drowning Dazai, what kind of sandwich would you make?

Ranpo is eagerly waiting for the new level.

Kunikida: Ranpo, please focus. We have a case to solve. Ranpo: I am focused. I’m just multitasking. Kunikida: Multitasking? You’re playing Candy Crush on your phone. Ranpo: And solving the case in my head. Kunikida: Really? Then tell me, who’s the culprit? Ranpo: Easy. It’s the guy with the red hat and the mole on his chin. Kunikida: How did you know that? Ranpo: I saw him on the security footage. Kunikida: Then why didn’t you say so earlier? Ranpo: Because I was busy playing Candy Crush. Duh.

And several other things

Percy: I’m not afraid of anything. Annabeth: Really? What about spiders? Percy: Okay, I’m afraid of one thing. Annabeth: And sharks? Percy: Two things. Annabeth: And heights? Percy: Three things. Annabeth: And needles? Percy: Four things. Annabeth: And clowns? Percy: Five things. Annabeth: And commitment? Percy: Hey!
