Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Alrighty. I'm planning on starting a new writing project on CB soon (I won't specify if it's a solo write or ski lodge or something else since I'm planning to write under a pseudonym and don't want to give away my identity) and since i access CB through my phone i need to test how the copying and pasting work from my phone, since sometimes when you copy or paste from a doc to CB it messes up the formatting. I've copied and pasted to here from a computer before but not my phone, and I want to make sure it looks good from both a phone and a computer. Im going to try copying and pasting the same paragraph two different ways and if people on computers could tell me how the formatting looks that would be great.

Way #1:

These are words. I'm typing a paragraph. I need to make a pretty long paragraph to see how copying and pasting from a doc onto this website with my phone works. I'm worried it's going to do the weird formatting thing where it looks like unintentional poetry to people reading this from a computer. Hello there, people reading this from a computer. Is this legible? How does it look? Does it look normal or are the lines and words all broken up? Hmm. Need to write more words. Words words words. To make this paragraph longer I will recount the events of the Zoodle War. I miss the zoodles. We should bring the zoodles back. I get that they were overtaking everything, but honestly that was the zoodle war, not the zoodles themselves. I guess I'm technically partially responsible for putting the zoodle war into motion, since I said to Hex on Last to Post, before the Zoodle War started and before Team Zoodle and Team Anti-Zoodle existed that I’d join them in the defense of the zoodles, which inspired them to make the Team Zoodle thread, which lead to the creation of the Anti-Zoodle thread and the rest of the war. Is this paragraph long enough yet? I think it could stand to be a little longer. Anyways, before the war, the Zoodles were just a fun part of Last to Post and the CB in general. I believe at the end of the zoodle war we agreed to shut down zoodle activity in most places, but that's not really fair since it wasn't the zoodles who were overtaking everything, it was the fighting Zoodlers and Anti-Zoodlers. We should bring the zoodles back. They don't have to be everywhere—and they shouldn't be everywhere—but it would be fun if zoodles could show up here and there on different threads, like on Last to Post and on RPs and on SIs. Anyways, I think the paragraph is long enough now. Let me know how the formatting looks from a computer.

oh gosh I'm flattered you remember that but I'm fairly sure it was Darkvine not me who created the Team Zoodle thread? I don't think I was super engaged in the war lol

Looks normal to me! I'm on an iPad though, not a computer, so maybe someone else who is on a computer can answer too.

Both paragraphs look picture perfect and identical! They don't have any tabs/indents, but maybe you didn't add them?

on a computer, they both look the same and perfectly normal! :D

on mobile, the second one looks normal while the lines of first one are slightly squished together, but nothing too weird :D

(and by the way, i'm excited to hear you're thinking about starting a writing project! i always enjoy your writing :] i'll be on the lookout! :D)

Another comment in less than an hour (sorry, Admins):

So, I'm tryin' to write a parody that's a parody of "Poisonous Love" from Rio 2, so... it's a work in progress LOL.

Here is a sample of "Forbidden Love":

My darlin', while you game,

All is well,

You're doin' great

And that's swell

But the truth is that I

Have a secret to tell:

I love you

People say it's wrong

It's absurd,

That a Catanoid and a penguin hybrid are in love

But I know in my heart

This is so

Meant to be

*end song for now*

A Catanoid is an alien race I made up thanks to my Minecraft character (Ashoka Tano from Star Wars Prequel) so... yeah.

If you want to, try to guess who I'm talkin' 'bout...

5 yr old bro: What if you had an elephant in your nose?

ME: *hysterics*

8 yr old bro: It'd probably be illegal.

ME: *absoluetly dying*

What's you guys' favourite sandwich? You can't go wrong with a PB and J, but I also like peanut butter pickle. Yes, you read that correctly. Peanut butter and pickle. With sriracha and a fried egg sometimes, too. Seriously, try it! It's so good!

I had a fascinating conversation about hockey romances, Polish bacon, fanfiction of Ender's game, Stonehenge, evil chipmunks, five guys named Dave, amnesia, dung beetle foundations, toilets, and stock markets.

I'm not sure how it happened...

oh that was what I thought the AI art interpretation of our fictional absurdist chessboxing romance plot looked like! (it was either an evil chipmunk moth or a naked mole rat, depending on if you asked me or my best friend)
