I was at a party once, a little drunk, told a girl I was psychic and could guess her name. I thought it would be a good icebreaker, we would laugh at me guessing wrong etc.
I got it right. She thought I was a stalker or something and told all her friends to stay away from me.
Good times.
I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.
So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo...the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.
Did you two fuck afterwards?
No, I was like 40 at my kids baseball game and she was under 20. Just a good parlor trick
Depending on the age of the person, you've got a 10% chance of getting it right if you guess Sarah.
I just picked the name of someone I went to school with that looked kinda similar. In hindsight I should have used Hildegard or something.
Obama was there
Thanks Obama.
My name used to be Rachel but they made it illegal in my country after the Friends finale so I had to change it to Dave. It doesn't really suit me but it's nice whenever I introduce myself people are like "wow. Dave, that's such a unique name". I've only ever met one other Dave in my life and he was a total loser like me so we hit it off pretty well and got married 6 days ago at a Asian grocery store in The Dominican Republic.
I hope I meet another Dave one day so I can marry him too. I've considered changing my name back to Rachel since it doesn't seem to be illegal anymore but you know that name just doesn't suit me as well as Dave.
This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell
It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.
I have a note against their user, "Absurdist". I don't know whether they're using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I've come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.
How the hell would I generate these using a Liquor License of Montreal? That makes about as much sense as shaving a kiwi to ride an airplane toy to the oven.
My apologies, I should have been more explicit, I was referring to a Large Library of Material. Obviously you have a vast repository of fascinating anecdotes and analogies to draw from.
wat
Pretty straight forward, really. It's a story as old as time.
Dave's not here, man.
This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.
I'm looking for Amanda Hugginkiss
So in high school, I had to drop out my senior year. Rumors get around and I was at one of my best buddies' birthday party. I'm talking to my ex gf and she's really down. More than I can reasonably understand. I start prying. She eventually tells me that she used to date someone who looked like me but not also like a skeleton and he just died and talking to me was really harshing her buzz. I gave her the old Forrest Whittaker eye™ and asked her what she thought my name was.
She spent the next ten minutes excitedly dashing around the party telling everyone and anyone that I was alive, so her shock seemed genuine. I should have asked her how she thought I died.
Could the other people at the party see you too, or...?
yeah. like there had been rumors i'd died. i don't remember who started them. hell, it might have been me i was a little shit but i disappeared rather suddenly.
MG: "Shit, guys, I was supposed to be at my gf's recital - cover for me!"
GF: "Hey, I'm looking for MG he was supposed to b-"
Guy1: "Oh he ded."
GF: "... he's... he's -"
Guy1: "- Ded. Yeah."
GF: "... I.... I... what..."
Guy1: "Aight, take care now."
yup. he had the terminal butt disease. it's true.
"I got better"
"i had to have my butt removed, but after a few grueling years... anyways what were we talking about"
Rumors were so much more fun before social media and smart phones.
What english speaking country has both 'high school' and trains?
Edit: ok turns out the twitter account is based in LA
New York City
We do have trains in the US, they're just awful in most places.
Australia
American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones...
We have both of these things in Canada.
England
Chicago
We have trains in Utah, and high schools.
Trains AND high schools in Utah?
At least we know he didn’t trade in for the Shinigami eyes.

I don't believe you.
Dominican Republic doesn't have Asian grocery stores with enough space to host a wedding.
