This could very well have been me. I had brain surgery for my epilepsy, and i have trouble with my memory so this type of thing happens to be routinely

I’m glad I’ve inspired a bit of levity into this evening on nostr.

If I was a writer, I would suggest a concept for a Nostr activity: a sort of cooperative writing project wherein one has 24 hours to write a few sentences then pass it along to the next, but just agree on a setting/theme and write a story.

Almost Queens of the Stone Age 😉

*saxophone plays quietly in the background*

Y’know, yarnlady, I think it just might. But I didn’t think to pack a meme when I got in that taxi.

Maybe the answer’s at the bottom of this glass here, maybe it’s out there somewhere.

But we ain’t gonna know for sure til a few years from now happens.

*saxophone music gets louder as camera pans to the television screen and a montage of overlapping news and pharmaceutical adverts play*

It starts with… back pain.

What is 80s rock then 😂😭

Nothin’ beats a nice side effects list. Now…….

Imagine those side effects as the prologue in a film noir detective movie.

Instead of the usual uplifting background music, a jazzy saxophone and trumpet duo plays as the side effects are read slowly and deliberately, rain falling steadily on the city as the main character stands outside the nightclub, waiting ….

I had a collection of audio recordings on an old phone of just the side effects listed on prescription commercials - it’s hilarious how they’re read at 2x speed as the background music is at normal speed!

If they were read at normal speed, it would be 30+ seconds of side effects.

🫨 woah!!!

True mages walk the earth and I'm absolutely terrified of them-

I was committed alright

Wow!! I can’t really wrap my head around that. May I ask what kind of pharma stuff is advertised?

If it makes you feel better I ate four ice cream sandwiches in two days

Voting for our next Kernel 🫡

Got to see Blink 182 at The Big Day Out in 2000 💜

Also on the line up that day was Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, The Chemical Brothers, Foo-fighters, Basement Jaxx and a bunch of others.

Awesome day (aside from a mild kick to the head in the mosh pit) 🙄

Can’t believe it’s so long ago…

We are lucky in Australia. We don’t have many pharmaceutical advertisements. We generally only see ads for vitamins, allergy meds and an occasional Shingles vaccination ad but that’s about it.
