Astounding.

But also, anyone looking for a solid passphrase can do no wrong choosing "baptise me in hot dog water".

Well, except me, since I just said this.

I once woke up with this repeating over and over with melody. No clue what it's supposed to mean:

Your body again is like an animal yet in the morning it's incredible

Another one was:

I need a friend, a friend, for my horse

[-] deus@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

The first one reads like a SFW version of the chorus from Closer by Nine Inch Nails.

Did you ever find a horse friend?

This reminds me of A Softer World , which was a webcomic series I absolutely loved for years. It was mostly short, sometimes comedic, sometimes poignant phrases paired with photography and this sounds exactly like something that would be on there.

This is the third a softer world reference I've seen on Lemmy that's cool as hell

[-] poszod@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

No idea how to read the meter thing, but cool as heck nevertheless.

The slashes are syllables that are emphasised, and the u's have less emphasis, so when you read hot dog water out loud, hot and wa are emphasised and dog and ter are not.

This is red paint on the hospital floor colour theory all over again.

can somebody explain what the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated plot has to do with this post

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I was also curious and found the beginning of the rabbit hole. Enjoy! https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Marcie_Fleach

If you told me this was a Kurt Cobain / Nirvana lyric I wouldn't doubt it

[-] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a rejected lyric from a Leonard Cohen song.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I know what some of those words means :)

Atonement in serendipity

Hot dog oiled water

This is my communion

My friend was analyzing meter of an interesting phrase they came up with ("imminently deducible") last night and I fell a little more in love. They concluded it was something like anapestic with a bunch of spondees, which I opposed due to disliking spondees on principle (they're just two long feet you put in when nothing else fits! also, "imminently" is trochaic in my opinion). What do you think?
