  • This seems to be the problem with the tech trend of removing tactile knobs or actual buttons.

    Now we have these “touch” screens that can only provide feedback through annoying beeps, because you can’t feel them or hear them click anymore.

    My electric kettle for example has a lever to press down and start it. No beeps needed, because when it’s done you hear the mechanism click off as the lever returns to its off position.

    On the other hand my air fryer can get fucked with that one “everything knob”. I’ve accidentally turned it a smidge many times pressing it in to start. This resets all the settings that I have to dial back in and makes me want to yeet the fucker out the window.

    The coyote is a lost soul, forever damned to a meaningless chase in a landscape of indifference.

    He stands before a rock wall where he has painted a vision of paradise at the end of a tunnel. He reaches out, but his paw strikes only the harsh, unyielding rock of reality.

    Moments ago, the Road Runner appeared and, with a casual, indifferent grace, sprinted into the painting. The bird vanished into a dream that the coyote is forbidden from entering. Meep… meep…

    Then comes a package from ACME. Inside the box lies a single pistol. The coyote lifts the weapon, spins the chamber, and raises it to his temple with a pained sigh of relief.

    Tears flow down his face like waterfalls of sorrow. He stands now at the veil of this world. No more failures. This is how the coyote wins: he simply refuses to play this cruel, twisted game.

    He pulls the trigger. Nothing.

    The coyote opens one eye to find a tiny, mocking flag that reads “BANG!” He remains paralyzed by the absurdity of his own existence, knowing that in this vast, echoing wasteland, the only thing more certain than hunger is the cruelty of the joke.
