I get 9 hours on average. It's not enough.

No amount is enough.

Wait, isn't this from Clickhole?

OMG, I just realized she looks exactly like "GIVE HIM A TICKET" lady.

This is why I hate video games. It lets you not use your signal.

The fuck did I just watch...

Well, thanks I guess, made me chuckle. Enough random Internet videos for me today! (he says confidently yet we all know he'll be back here 5min after closing his tab)

OK sweetheart how long do you usually sleep? 12? 14? Like a cat 16 or more?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I can only wish that my cat slept for 16 hours...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Well not so much in a contiguous block

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

My cat just wants to play non-stop. When she was a kitten, I played like 4-5 hours per day with her, that was exhausting as fuck. She got calmer these days, but instead of sleeping she just cuddles non stop, or watches cat TV through the window, or plays alone. Some days she sleeps less than I do.

This is an endlessly memeable format

Just be depressed and you'll sleep all day.

You have been afflicted with insomnia

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

depressed insomniac... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Can I be your worst enemy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Sadly I have to work…

I am so glad that this meme has this amount of staying power, and the way it's being used. Well done.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I love it. It combines my resentment of misogyny in video game culture with the things I care about in everyday life such as sleep.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Yep, that was a very much my fantasy. 9 hours of sleep, with an alarm of "stop right there criminal scum".

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

Roll a d6…this is how many times you have to get up to pee during that sleep. Shouldn’t have drank 10 health potions huh?

Fortunately, I just recieved a bag of magic beans from the local apothecary to help me with with restful sleep!

... hdroxyzine beans ... funny name, I wonder what realm they are from...

EDIT:

Also, to everyone in this comment thread freaking the hell out... this is a joke meme.

The original top half of this is from a Buzzfeed video from a decade ago, featuring gameplay of ... well, some Grand Theft Auto game, beating up strippers.

It has since been a meme template for a decade.

The original video didn't even mention fantasy games as a genre or anything.

In fact you'll now probably find a whole, whole lot of LGBTQ+ people, as well as cis/het people, agreeing that Baldurs Gate 3 is actually pretty awesome.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How dare people seek out fantasy fulfillment. Definitely worthy of HATING the genre. What a troglodyte.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think strip clubs "fulfill" anyone. They seem like a really bad time for sad and lonely men

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Where else am I gonna meet my fixer to set up this job?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Man I wish. Anything more than seven and a half and my day feels wasted. Anything less and I'm exhausted

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

if you're reducing ALL video games to nothing but hentai anime dating sims, then you're not making a point, you're just making yourself look like an asshole

but also, who cares what games people play, or why they play them? or are you going to sit there and try to say males aren't allowed to fantasize about T&A? LOL good. fucking. luck.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TBF, her original comment was about being able to beat up strippers in GTA5, not about T&A specifically. Not that the context makes it any better. You can beat up just about anything in GTA, taking issue with specifically the strippers is just looking for things to be mad about.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

lol that makes it even worse. so every "male fantasy" = beat up women? gtfo...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Misandrists don't need a reason to hate. They invent one. Same goes for misogynists.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is just my personal opinion and I could be wrong, but I think women who've been catcalled by adult men since they started growing breasts at 12 years old, have a... Well not good, but understandable reason for hating men. I understand where they're coming from better than I understand any misogynist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

toxic masculinity is bad for males too. so many dudes i know are still stuck in that high school boy mindset, and don't understand, at middle age, why they make everyone cringe and can't seem to sustain a happy healthy relationship

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the patriarchy is bad for everyone. Misogynistic men rail against their own liberation because the women are gaining slightly more than they're gaining. Enlightened men welcome the fact that being sensitive, caring, thoughtful, and in love with your partner is now socially acceptable. It's the 21st century and men are now allowed to cry when they feel sad. This is great news. Way better than strip clubs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Misanthropes, however, can just gesture vaguely at society in general and be proven right.
