Okay, I take it back, some things can still surprise me

help the nerds on my timeline are being cute and and adorable

Oof, these are excessively nice

Triton Classic Subphotique, 40mm case size, 500m water resistance, crown at 12 protected by the case

My parent's generation: "Why are all our kids so weird?"

One of the TV shows you put on for us involved an anthropomorphic badger with a weird thing for mashed potato, what did you expect?
