Dawn needs to create a website that is just a video game where she's the main character battling old guys with orange cannons.

The more I look at this the funnier it gets. They are all holding the oranges that hit them. Did they go home and eat them?

@paul @fleur_de_LA @SecularJeffrey

Oh!!! 3 new life goals!

1. Have a park bench with a sign like that in my "honor."
2. Buy, build, or steal a device that shoots oranges.
3. Get banned from the same park for shooting oranges at people!

Now that I am over 60, I've been trying to decide if I'm a codger, geezer, coot or curmudgeon.

This behavior is decidedly curmudgeonly.

Why not go whole hog and have “ grumpy old man syndrome ?”

[secularjeffrey@ohai.social]

@garthderby @Jason844 @paul @fleur_de_LA

Too grumpy to decide.

"Car Driver" and "Male Doctor"?
This has to be a joke

If it's real ...it's funny

If it's a joke...it's funny too! 🤭

@LikeItOrLumpIt @SecularJeffrey True either way

@SecularJeffrey @LikeItOrLumpIt

Wish there were a citation or park name or reference. Lacking these things, I'm tempted to call AI slop on this "too good to be true" one.

It just had the quirky virality that feels manufactured, without sourcing.

Happy to be proved wrong if someone has a citation.

@pseudonym @SecularJeffrey @LikeItOrLumpIt the kind of post I might lol at and hit like, but not boost

[pseudonym@mastodon.online]

@kinsale42 @SecularJeffrey @LikeItOrLumpIt

Exactly

[heartofcoyote@neuromatch.social]

@adef187 @SecularJeffrey Right? Like I’m picturing this boy who’s only ever seen women doctors, and he decides he wants to be a male doctor. Good for you, sweetie. Don’t forget to smile. 🤪

@pseudonym Looks like it's a circa 2024 or 2025 plant on social media.. very possibly AI, or at least photo shopped.
