I was thinking about sentences that can tell the entire story on their own. I have 2 common examples:
- So, I started to play WOW
- My husband was 20 older than me
I can already tell how is gonna develop and end. What other sentences you know that have this effect?
“I’m not racist, but” oh, they are going to say something racist.
It’s fun to put “I’m not racist but” in front of totally innocuous statements.
I’m not racist but there’s a blue Hyundai parked outside my building.
It still works. If I heard that my first thought would be “who are they racist against?”
See also, “Nobody likes to say it out loud, but…”
“The hard truth is…” something completely obvious.
Something completely untrue.
‘After an internal investigation’… oh you found yourselves not guilty what a surprise!?
“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
I Promise I will get a girlfriend.
I promise i will NOT get a girlfriend.
The universe works out the logic of this statement, weighs the pros and cons of complying, ultimately decides to just shut things down.
I promise that I am lying to you right now
I promise that in a few hours the sun will rise.
You’ve done doomed us all, donnie!
Have you heard of GME?
“After this, I’m retiring”
The would-be retiree is dying the ABSOLUTE next scene. RIP my wingman PJ, he was gonna marry his girl after we left the Avalon Dam
“After this, im retiring”
2 years later: Hayao Miyazaki is making a new movie.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
“Yes, I have! We learned about him at the Academy. It turns out it was an ironic nickname given to him by his peers after his disciple basically took him down. One of those lessons in knowledge and treachery, meant as a fable for building false trust, but some idiots are empowered it.”
My husband is 20 years older than me, we have been together 17 years, what is your autocomplete for this?
“… and then he told me I should be a stay at home wife, and I accepted, we had 5 kids after we initially agreed to only have one but he pressured me, we moved to his hometown where I knew no one, he controlled all of my finances, after 12 years of marriage I confronted him for cheating on me but he always denied it, until I found his second family but I couldn’t leave him because I had no money of my own and lived far away from my family, then he became physically abusive and telling me that I was nothing without him, I needed help to leave him but im still fighting in court over child support and shared custody, but he is now with his third family and refuses to pay for nothing, I should have left him a long while ago but I couldn’t see the red flags and even my family thought at the time it was a bad idea to marry him but they knew I wouldn’t listen because I was 20 and naïve”
I’ve seen so many cases with different variations.
Well, we’re gay, I’m the breadwinner and no fighting over custody of anyone.
Cool. So nice to hear. Congratulations.
