    The spacing and my lack of glasses had me read it as “The mixed cream cough, for a berry filled drop.”

      Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.

      I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.

      At least for me the river between the words made me initially read it that way, too

          On Piefed (and I think lemmy?) it doesn’t display the link properly if I don’t have that extra \ (it’s there to cancel out the final parenthesis, so that the markdown knows it’s part of the link)

    Yeah, I specifically buy cough drops that don’t taste overly good for that reason now…

    Latchkey kids growing up in the 1980s:

    “Want some candy?”

    “Sure”

    tosses them a Vics

    “…What is this?”

    “Cherry.”

      I grew up in the early 2000s and I remember kids my age passing around Vics like candy and even then I never understood it. I understand it even less now as an adult

      Given my lack of self control with sugar and sodium, I’d probably OD on propofol if I had unchecked access to it. I can sleep for eight hours without any noisy neighbor or birds waking me up? What’s the catch?? Except the OD part of course.

        The other catch is constipation
