Human Standards

“Why do we need to do things

“When AI can just do them better?”

Dear sir, your robot girlfriend is waiting;

You just need to go out and get her.

80/20 Stress Reduction

Some people hold heavy burdens

Like life and death decisions,

Billion-dollar investments,

And performing circumcisions.

Other people make choices

Like pooping now or waiting ‘til home,

Which player to start on their fantasy team,

Or which hat color’s best for a gnome.

Both of these groups feel pressure

And both stresses are equally true

But if you’re in the second group, here:

It’s wait, Josh Allen, and blue.

The “Reality Is A Simulation” Theory Just Got An October Update

What if the zombie apocalypse happened

And humans have already died

And we’re all undead, but inside our heads

Reality’s fully denied

And we go on thinking “this burger is yummy”

When really we’re eating a brain?

It may not be true but, between me and you,

It’s a thought I just might entertain…

My Life

Procrastination

Is a 9:00 PM haiku

Character Creation

What if everything’s human

But in all shapes and sizes

With different colors and textures

And numbers of eyes-es

And we are the luckies

Who were born kinda pasty,

Good at thinking and crying

But not very tasty?

Flossing

If your gums don’t bleed

You aren’t pressing hard enough.

Do it every night.

Unfortunately It Requires Planning And Discipline, And Doesn’t Taste Like Pumpkin Spice

Imagine if there were a coffee

That energized you twice as well

And was also completely free…

Sounds like an easy sell!

I have such a solution for you

If my secret you can keep:

My secret coffee replacement brew

Is called “eight hours of sleep”.

Not All Similes Are Created Equal

Life is like an avocado

In the metaphorical sense that it’s

Kinda bumpy on the surface

And, if you go deep, it’s the pits,

It’s got a bunch of healthy fat

And more phosphorous than you’d expect

And probably lots of other dots

ThatI’ve yet to connect.

But If You Order Now, You Can Get Both!

If you have a form of ‘tism

It may be a blessing or flaw

Depending on whether its “nepo”

Or more on the spectrum of “au”.
