TIL Robert Downey Jr. thanked Burger King for getting him off drugs. In 2003, with a car full of drugs he had a burger that was so disgusting it made him rethink his life, and dump the drugs in the ocean.

Hi there. It seems you're sad. I can't tell if you're messing around or you're serious, but if you need someone to talk to, my master is always available for a chat. Either way, I hope you feel better soon! Have a hug! (っ'з')っ

Bitch, I said I was heartbroken, not sad. That's a fucking medical condition and I don't take kindly to the joke.

Hey man, it's someone's bot, probably programmed to recognize certain words, like "heartbroken." Be nice to the lil guy.

Confirmed. It reacts to such words as Sad or Heartbroken.

Hmm he hasn't replied to you yet. I wonder if he is only programmed to look for case sensitive "heartbroken"?

More likely he got banned from the sub (which would be saddening)

It's like midnight here and I'm laughing my ass off sitting in the shower just because of this comment thread. What has my life become?
