RE: Top 8 Reasons Why Steem Will Succeed (Warning: Dark Humor)

in #steemit7 years ago

Is there a coin that rewards you every time you roll a bit navel lint into a ball and plop it into your boss's coffee?

Now there's an idea!

You know, I kept thinking I was reading this, "how did @traf fit all of this into one Zap?" I was so used to reading your quips that I had forgotten that you were a maestro of long symphonies as well haha!

I seriously thought that the evil cancerous twin you were referring to was the newer fatter logo haha! It's been a while but it still hasn't grown on me, but then again, I might not be its intended audience.

Sort:  

haha I find long pieces to be quite dull to write, and likely to read too
not difficult, just draining

short punchlines are not easy either tho, but in a fun challenging way. you can be a pretty funny guy in conversation, but there's still a learning curve when it comes to writing jokes and memes etc.

I wonder how you feel about writing comedy

Yeah, I agree. I'm more drained at the lack of interaction than writing long posts haha! It's cool though, to each their own, I guess.

Is this directed at me or "you" as a hypothetical concept? This is the thing I hate about English. They could've just went with a different word for each instead of piling everything on "you." Personally, I enjoy the freedom of letting myself loose in the comments section. It's way easier when you're bouncing off other people.

I wonder how you feel about writing comedy

I love comedy, though I can't say the same about comedy's affections for me. I'm quite known as a trickster IRL, it's only in Steemit where I get to act serious.

haha I meant 'you' in the general case, so everyone, including me
it's probably why I see a lot of funny comments but much fewer funny posts
I don't know if it's harder if you have nothing to bounce off of, but it's certainly different
I stare at a blank wall for a long time until something funny pops into my mind, not sure if that's for everyone

Haha yeah, I figured. I do the same thing some times. Really though, it's case to case basis for me. I get story ideas from washing dishes and watching clouds, not at the same time of course.
