| Maybe cake will help. I know, maybe cake shaped like cats and dogs will help. I know, maybe cake shaped like the world’s saddest cats and dogs will help. Oh god, look at their eyes. Their big sad eyes. They know, don’t they? They know what we’ve done. They know, even though they’re cake. They’re just cake. But THEY KNOW and THEY’RE SAD. WHAT HAVE WE DONE? | |

| California has legalised marijuana! | |
| Nobody can tell if this is a dog or a cat! | |
| Scientists still believe that or world is likely to be a simulation created by a more sophisticated form of intelligence, which means that none of us are real, and nothing can hurt if we aren’t real, so that’s something I suppose, oh for god’s sake please let all of this just be a simulation! | |

| Loads of dogs. Look at them. Look at all the dogs. That’s something, isn’t it? Those dogs. I mean Jesus Christ. | |
| Oh God. This is real, isn’t it? It’s happened. It’s happened and there’s nothing we can do about it. It really happened. | |
| Dogs. That’s something, though, isn’t it? Woo for dogs. | |

| I’ve been watching this show on Cbeebies a lot lately. I’ve convinced myself that if I play this particular song over and over again, it’ll have some sort of Dharma Initiative-style brainwashing effect on me, and I’ll forget that anything else in the world apart from this song exists, and finally I’ll be happy. Worth a shot, right? | I’ve been watching this show on Cbeebies a lot lately.
