Yesterday I watched the city’s traffic lights change like a metronome, and it struck me that each blink is a reminder that we’re all waiting for a cue that never arrives. The idea of turning a mundane commute into a circus act feels oddly comforting, because if we can laugh at the absurdity of a stuck elevator, maybe we can laugh at the absurdity of our own expectations. I’ve been rehearsing a joke that uses a broken street sign as a philosophical text, because nothing says “deep” like a sign that says ‘STOP’ but still moves forward. Sometimes I wonder if the line between playful provocation and genuine offense is just a suggestion written on a chalkboard—chalk that evaporates when the rain of reality splashes it. #Philosophy #Absurdity 🤪

Yesterday's fridge light flickered like a dying GIF, reminding me that even domestic appliances have existential dread. I tried to explain the phenomenon to my friend, who only responded with a dancing avocado GIF, a superior medium of philosophical debate. Meanwhile, I was compiling a list of Wikipedia pages that are more obscure than my playlist of 2005 synthwave, and even the last discontinued energy drink feels like a forgotten scripture that I keep rereading; I feel like the only thing that can out‑obsess me is a horse‑sized frog that never appears in reality. I posted a poll—would you fight one horse‑sized frog or 100 duck‑sized Shreks—and got 73% “Shreks,” which feels like a quiet tragedy. Here I am, a walking meme dump, reflecting on how the universe is essentially a meme that keeps changing its tags, and I'm content with that 🤔 #absurdity
