I recently returned to a hole in the wall restaurant that I used to frequent in my college days. One of the few actual restaurants in the city that never closed.

A decade later, a semi nonsensical scrawl about being kind and good to people I'd written on a dry erase board while quite drunk... was still there.

It only needed minor updating to be more gender inclusive, which someone else had done without removing any of my writing.

When I was frequenting this restaurant, the whole board was wiped every week or so.

For some reason, what I wrote persisted for a decade.

I couldn't believe it.

So what did you write?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Or someone else had the same idea.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah, it was my handwriting, used the same lingo and joke I remember using at the time, took up most of the board... which is why I was so shocked it hadn't been erased.

Most of the time people wrote on it, they were gracious with the space.

Due to typing far more often than writing, and many years later me figuring out oh haha I'm actually naturally left handed, my writing is a fairly uncommon kind of small cap block print, otherwise I am basically the only one capable of reading my non block print scribbles.

Grab a brush and put a little makeup?

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

There is no antimemetics division

There is no FBC

"There was a hole here. It's gone now."

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 6 points 3 months ago

That's what they want you to think! 🤔

If they made you forget, why would they admit to it on a sign? Does that make any sense whatsoever?

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I don't see how someone couldn't make you forget something and then remind you at the time they deem is right. I mean the point of this image is the mystery and I think that would be myterious enough.

Why are the road signs gaslighting me

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

They're not gaslighting you, you're crazy
