A forum where multiple IRL human friendships had been forged over the years was nothing more than grifting robots spamming at each other.

At Elon’s Tesla robots are secretly humans, and at Elon’s Twitter human users are secretly bots.

AMD and Intel are well-matched competitors right now except for AMD having some money.

Vacuuming is too out of character, you need to get under the sink and do some plumbing.

EDIT: Scratch that, I just remembered Luigi’s Mansion. Vacuuming is canon after all!
