We Don't Stop Meme-ing Because It Grows Old; We Grow Old Because We Stop Meme-ing . Top Story - April 2022.
I've written several 'comedy routines' inspired by the memes I yank from my Facebook feed. I call this series Meme-ing For Laughs. I started writing this crap a long time ago, before Vocal had a Humor Community. I'm now in the process of migrating all those guffaws over here— to their proper place in the Humor Community! This one previously won a Top Story thingie!!! ⚡😁👍

The invisible Chain
Our era is marked by unsettling answers, but no one expects them to come from artificial intelligence. We are used to imagining apocalyptic scenarios filled with sentient machines only in science fiction films like Terminator or Star Wars, where robots become beings with autonomous thought. Or in video games like Halo, where AI takes on the dual role of humanity’s defender or its potential enemy. But what would happen if artificial intelligence were truly the devil, intent on subjugating humanity?

Brahma Rakshasa and Fear: The Paradox of Knowledge and Torment
Brahma Rakshasa and Fear: The Paradox of Knowledge and Torment The concept of the Brahma Rakshasa finds its origins in Indian mythology, weaving a complex narrative about fear, knowledge, and the consequences of untamed ambition. A Brahma Rakshasa, as described in ancient Hindu texts, is a learned soul who, despite attaining immense knowledge of the Vedas and scriptures, falls prey to arrogance or fails to pass on his wisdom selflessly. As punishment, he is cursed to exist as a Rakshasa—a demonic entity. This being, who once embodied enlightenment, now roams the earth in a state of torment, consumed by an eternal struggle between wisdom and his monstrous form.

The Day I Decided to Say “Yes” to Life
It was a crisp autumn morning when I woke up feeling the weight of routine pressing down on me. My days had become a series of predictable patterns: wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat. I felt like a spectator in my own life, watching from the sidelines as opportunities passed me by. So, on a whim, I decided that today would be different. Today, I would say “yes” to every opportunity that came my way.

Just my luck...!
This is my worst nightmare. I woke up extra early, fully rested. My bedroom was not too cold or too hot, and the yoga mat was already rolled out. All I had to do was a few stretches, push-ups and sit-ups (a new record: 30 each set), and then hit the bathroom. I noticed that I had more cereal than I thought and that the skim milk I thought I had to replace was still fresh. The coffee was also already percolating (when did I turn the machine on?), and my bag was packed (again, a mystery).

The Dog Ate My Homework
It was the kind of excuse that no one believed anymore. “The dog ate my homework” had become the punchline to a joke, a get-out-of-jail-free card for lazy students who couldn't come up with a better story. But in my case, it wasn't a joke. It wasn't even an excuse—it was the truth.
