unironically read Vonnegut. I know he's reddit-tier literature in terms of the actual intellectual content of his writing but he executes almost every aspect of comedy writing perfectly

>> No.20559356

Tbh it’s actually really poorly written.
>”making it pulsate even as the”
so awkward it makes me cringe; reads like it’s written by someone who’s heard about books but only read a few.
really hate this meme frankly because it really is funny theoretically, just someone with a bit of skill should have written the bit

>> No.20559402

it's hilarious but i bet this anon wrote the entire thing in under 1min without even thinking super deeply about it. best memes often write themselves.

This. Sure, it's not "well-written" in classical terms, but it's memorable, funny, and is written with a stunningly realistic imagination that creates an impressionistic idea of a scene in very few words and with little actual content. Also, it's 4chan-ready.

Strong disagree. There's a word here or there one might change. But generally the core of this thing is strong enough that the rough edges become charming and give it something more than just quality- character. You don't need to read everything like an editor.

"I love my car," he said. He would like to see some niggers try to steal it from him. He'd like to see them try to steal it from him and drive off into the night. He'd like to chase them down, cuss them out and beat them with a tire iron. "Bring it on, niggers," he shouted. He laughed. The wine, the adrenaline and the music were swirling in his head. The world was spinning around him. "I'm the man," he said, "I'm the man." He turned off the music. He went home. He got into bed. He fell asleep. He dreamed of being beaten by a gang of niggers. They stole his car and drove off into the night.

1. have talent to write
2. find all your compasses
3. align all your compasses and then just write
>>20559260
Vonnegut is a cheeky case because he got his compasses bumped around in WW2 (in which he got caught up because he wanted to get away from his parents and huge family).
He still wrote gems like "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 1951" (published posthumously) my point being that you shouldn't follow anyones advice. Just write about the conditions you would need to be able to PROPERLY think about what you would want to write about... and the rest will come by itself.

It is real. The reason it doesn't mention him entering the car is because the AI misinterprets the text and doesn't understand that he's outside (or at a gas station). It's guessing he's inside with the window open, parked on some street
