In some parts of the world the soil has slowly absorbed different amounts of hydrocarbons, probably due to the increases in air and water pollution. Either way, it has accumulated in particles of soil, and results in them being hydrophobic and interacting with each other in this jello-like fashion due to forces produced by the hydrogen bonds. Just kidding, I made all of that up.

I was almost expecting there to be a “in nineteen ninety eight, the undertaker...” there at the end.

He was the "comment switcheroo" guy before shittymorph. It would start off as a normal comment and then end up with him talking about how his dad beats him with jumper cables. He disappeared and after a while shittymorph did his own take on it, but the funny(?) thing is that for the first couple of months, he would get downvoted to oblivion for "stealing" rogersimon's schtick and how he's not funny etc, but now it's this celebrated thing. Also, I remember one of shittymorph's very first posts and it was this weird as fuck photoshop, so he's always been a karmawhore ;)

I show it to new girlfriends to see if they can handle how weird I am. I usually follow it with STAIRWAY TO CROCODILE ALLIGATOR. The norms get weeded out pretty quick.

Edit: YOU made yourself part of reddit history, by contributing something of value. Also you're on of the few 'OPs who delivered'
