Shadows Fall songs/albums are a gold mine for fart jokes:

Idle Farts
Farts without Words
Destroyer of Farts
The Fart that Binds
At War with One's Farts
The Power of Fart and Fart
Stepping Outside the Fart
The Fart of Balance/The Art of Fart
Welcome to the Fart (Pink Floyd cover)

Owner of a Lonely Fart

But seriously, when "Owner of a Lonely Hart" gets played I only hear "Owner of a Lonely Horse" and I wonder "why is this horse lonely, what happened to it, could I be the one that makes this horse happy one day?".
The horse is lonely because it wouldn't be broken, and the song is written from the perspective of someone who believes it's better to own a lonely horse than a broken one, because at least then you can respect that it still has its individual spirit and will intact.

I just had my espresso, so I'm brimming with good ideas. My next one is a Tears for Fears/Fear Factory mashup cover band called... you guessed it... Tears for Fear Factory

then there's my Midwest Emo Fear Factory cover band, Tear Factory
This reminds me, I still haven't got Death Punch for Cutie off the ground...

I think I hate reddit. And I don't have the words to articulate way.

Edit: I take it back. I have a few words for it. Namely the word relentless. The wrongest people are the loudest, and they're relentless. It brings out the worst in people, myself included. If I try to be helpful in a field that I'm a professional in - I get my own job mansplained to me. If you make the mistake of wandering into the unpopular subs, there's an army of neckbeards ready to tell you (as wrongly as possible) how science works, and by the way crypto is good actually, and we live in a simulation, and also question me on why I said the opposite of what I actually said - which is as confusing as it sounds. If I try to help out someone in a sub for the local community or city, someone asking for advice, I get all the worst folks in town telling me to "go back where I came from" (I "came from" right here) - even as far as someone telling me to move away because I'm a "culture-less monkey".

WTF is wrong with redditors?

I think it's time for another social media break. Between relentless redditors and facebook being overrun by boomers not understanding that the picture they're hitting on is AI generated, I think I can't take much more of it.

Yep, break time. I am on a break from everything social media, bar SSO. (Are forums classed as social media? I guess so.)

Like you, I got bored of the forced AI images and the weird political posts that I had/have zero interest in watching/reading.

I find that much of the time, reddit is just some competition to be the "most right". If you're genuinely trying to be helpful or informative, and offer a comment that is in all actuality objectively correct, then that doesn't leave any of the other competitors any space to win the game except to obstinately deny the truth and employ whatever twist of rhetoric is conceivable to them in order to be perceived as the "right" one. And of course, the process of deciding who's right is driven by the consensus of a mentally deranged hive mind. So in the end it isn't uncommon to see someone answer a question in a perfectly truthful and factually correct way and have their comment buried by downvotes. Or in my favorite cases, actively derided and challenged by the person who asked the question in the first place, and presumably who would benefit most from a proper answer, but who has now decided to join the competition of being "right" in regards to their own query.
