sanity chicken would be a good band name

[parodeity]

all right fuck it
i was trying to avoid being That Crazy Person
but clearly everyone else is doing really well at sanity chicken
all edging around the topic or not bringing it up
or possibly it not being an issue for the majority though i am PRETTY fucking sure i can confirm it happening for at least like
nearly ten people maybe i dont know
so im just going to commit to my role as the crazy conspiracy theory guy
get me a whiteboard and some string you all
im ready to mark it up
wave goodbye sadly to my good name and all that
watch it circle the drain as i dump it in the toilet and watch it flush away
so anyway here we go

raise your fucking hand if youve had a very vivid hallucination of some sort
that felt super real
since you got this app
about a thing you definitely never remember yourself doing
also if youre going to go dave you sound like youve lost it
at least link me something entertaining off the internet to add some spice to what is sure to be a pretty common response
it isnt like yo remember when horses were a thing makes any of us sound any less ridiculous
so
admittedly i guess i could sound crazier
theres like a scale here
shit i should make a scale ill do that later
anyway

raise your hands or dont
go

I'm not...sure?
I thought it was a dream at first, but it hasn't gone away the way they usually do.

I suppose if other people are having the same thing happen, that answers my worries though, doesn't it.

[parodeity]

see id love to think that and the first time it happened i was like
whoa
thats enough caffeine for one day
but im up to like five stupid incidents
so clearly im not having daydream issues or nightmare issues or what have you
or i mean i could be
but if so it would be contagious issues
which possibly is a thing?
that sounds like some kinda setup for a movie
mass hysteria or illusions or whatever
but cool though that premise is
im putting it aside to seriously attempt to figure out wtf this is
mostly so it can chill
because its stupid and im not a fan

whend your thing happen

[notyourutopian]

Five?
Damn.
I've just had the one.
If this is a contest to get to the top of your future crazy-scale, I think you might be winning.

It was during the parade, when I was looking at the floats.
Trying to figure out how one of the animatronics worked and then...

Well. What I thought was a daydream.

What about you?
I mean, you can simply pick one of them, I suppose.

[parodeity]

man i dont wanna win that contest
i was trying very hard not to but its hit the point it takes some kind of cake
all the kinds of cake really
enough cake it needs to not
everyone else should feel free to take some slices here

my first whatever was on the day of the parade too
but it was fucking weird enough i figured i was just having a minor sugar breakdown

the others mostly happened while talking to my siblings
unfortunately i cant stop doing that to avoid having it happen more
because
i love them
so whatever

[notyourutopian]

I'm sure everyone will do their best to be just as mad as you, Dave.

Hm.
Loving your family, such a burden.
If it helps, I have the same affliction, but...
Talking to mine hasn't triggered anything else.

Is it happening to them too...?
Rose and all I mean.

[parodeity]

not good enough all you all need to be working to be madder than me
take my crown
dethrone me
im more than willing to give way here i dont want this distinction to be mine alone

does your family have the app though

to a degree weird things are happening for the people ive shared things with

[notyourutopian]

That's a race nobody wants to win.
You shouldn't have sprinted out of the gate.

No, just me.
They're acting like I'm being weird.
I don't know what that could begin to mean.

But at least you aren't dealing with it on your own, right?
Siblings have your back.

[parodeity]

i wasnt planning on it
my hand was forced
by shit being weird and no one else passing the start line first
so i had to surrender to fate and do the thing

figure it means the same thing it means re chocobos or horses or what the fuck ever
no one without it seems to remember horses
people with it universally seem to agree those were a thing
so
thats
a weird connection that exists but whatever

yeah
they got my back
though i think as a nebulous group of people who remember horses
we should maybe consider ourselves a team
or something

[notyourutopian]

You should just stop hallucinating things immediately then.
Actually that's probably good advice for all occasions.

No, I get what the difference is.
But I don't get what it means.
Why me, and not...my sisters?
Why do I remember horses, when my sister who has wanted a pony since she old enough to want things suddenly wants a chocobo?

Heh
Team...Horse-Memories? The Legion of Horse? I don't know.
Probably won't attract a lot of joiners.

[Eleanor will never not be terrible at naming things.]

[onceandfuturemascot]

The Cavalry

[notyourutopian]

Thank you.
That is far better than anything I was coming up with.

[parodeity]

advice id love to take and yet

idk
i figure it means shits up with this app
though here i am still using it so
not sure i can really say much about it?
but like
jesus its weird that even like
oldschool horse movies are now chocobos
why even

^cavalry aint bad but it makes us sound like wannabe heroes or smth
personally i dont know if a team name is super requisite
or something everyone could even agree on
since mostly were shitposters
the shitposters is more accurate than the cavalry

[notyourutopian]

As if it were infecting us somehow?
It's a computer program.
Although I will admit it acts like a computer virus but
People can't catch computer viruses.

Wait so you mean John Wayne rides around on chocobos now?
I might have to look one of those up now.

Cavalry is certainly better than The Shitposters at least.
And I want to say we aren't all that way but
Yeah
We kinda are aren't we.

[parodeity]

are you sure el
could be a matrix situation

and yes
i mean just that
everything horse like ever?
chocobos
the trojan chocobo
like
wtf

we are absolutely shitposters yes

[notyourutopian]

That's a whole different set of worries.

My Little Chocobos?
A chocobo drowning in the never ending story?
What is the name of the Lone Ranger's Nephew's Chocobo?

At least we're comfortable with it.

[parodeity]

i honestly dont know the name of the lone rangers nephoews chocobo
probably the same as the horses

[notyourutopian]

It's from a movie.
I was just trying to think of things that could've been changed to chocobo.
Minor things.

[parodeity]

i mean
i guess minor and major everythings swapped
im getting used to pretending thats not a weird thing for like
normal people

[notyourutopian]

I was trying to think of maybe things they might have missed.
Whoever changed this.
But I am probably just being overly optimistic.

[parodeity]

have you been looking for shit theyve missed like
nancy drew style?

[notyourutopian]

Maybe.
A little bit.

I can't help my journalistic curiosity!

[parodeity]

so like what all have you found out about chocobos while doing it
is everything now chocobo-ified

[notyourutopian]

I didn't think to check old movies but...
You know the Kentucky Derby?
All chocobos now.
The painting of George Washington on a horse is on a gold chocobo.
Even the Headless Horseman is a Headless Chocoboman now.

[parodeity]

oh my fuck i immediately need a pic of george washington for my wall

[notyourutopian]

You can probably buy one online now.
Or just print one out.
Or swipe the one at school, since it's changed too.
