Me, posting on hexbear one (1) day ago in response to "US health secretary has expressed interest in letting bird flu outbreaks spread unchecked" news:

I'm workshopping an idea for a longterm game where you have to predict good opening sentences for satirical news articles two years in the future, but with a price-is-right stipulation where if your sentence ends up describing literal reality (rather than a caricature) you automatically lose. You have to be the closest to an actual joke without your guess going over into reality.

Me, reacting to news I am reading today: Wow, it looks like the twitter AI is now referring to itself in third-person as "Mechahitler".

Currently reworking the timeframe of my fun new game idea down from "two years" to "a couple hours".
