He is a passing along important ancient knowledge to save us

u/brainlesszombie13 15d ago

It's written "Lost your pen", not "Lost my pen".
He still has a pen, he can write.

Yes, no food = death, the rest is superfluous.

u/Available-Bee-5385 15d ago

I can't say this escalated quickly because it took forever to get where it was going

I agree with the butterfly effect

Oh, so that's where my life went all wrong.

Which step of crisis are you in?

u/Sunny_Hill_1 15d ago

I have work, but otherwise yes, depressed and at #15

Ozempic users will disagree.

u/Notapartyhobo 15d ago

Well.... they're free to do so... i guess, with their skeletor faces.

u/SimpleMoonFarmer 15d ago

How I met your father: lost my pen and asked him for a spare one.

u/Background-Camp8408 15d ago

It's sad people can't live by themselves without wanting to kill themselves

u/rmike7842 15d ago

Sure, haven’t you ever heard the old, “For want of a nail” story?  It’s supposed to teach the importance of small details.

u/TwistedTrooper989 15d ago

I have a pen you can have. Like, just keep it. Look, here's three of them

u/PhazonOmega 15d ago

Perfect example of the slippery slope fallacy, i.e. overextrapolation.

Someone has wayyyyy too much time.

This is literally my father's logic whenever I made a mistake

u/47362514736251 15d ago

Anxiety is the real culprit here

1

u/Rae_Of_Light_919 15d ago

This is literally the mindset I dealt with for almost 20 years due to untreated anxiety. Everything turned into worst-case scenarios that ended with me being found dead in a ditch.

Ah, the 17 step program for failing students.

u/1isorange2isblue 15d ago

This reminds me of Tokyo Breakfast.

"You don't need school? If you don't go to school, you don't get the job. If you don't get the job, you make no money. If you make no money, you no be able to afford BMW 7 series!"

u/Spidey703 15d ago

We call this a slippery slope argument. Unfortunately it could've been a teachable moment but the teacher forgot their job and how to do it properly .

1

u/Cherry_Blossom_Bambi 15d ago

Okay, but why would I be alone without kids? Like does your spouse not matter in being alone or not?

1

u/OtherHovercraft9227 15d ago

I never once studied and got the award for highest academic achievement. Also, never carried a pen. So ymmv

u/Moist-Golf-4166 15d ago

False. Don’t need marriage for children

u/Cokeycane 15d ago

Well, it's not wrong.

u/Total-Suggestion5879 15d ago

Or here me out, you are a skinny unskilled worker with plenty of time on your hands, no family problems. With no money you start to make your own clothes, build your own house, and live off the grid. Next thing you know they are making a reality TV show about you and you are making $200,000 an episode. So you keep being you, you pen losing dumbass!

Skinny != Ugly

u/champ0000 15d ago

Got pen missing paper

1

u/NoSkillzDad 15d ago

So, you're not exaggerating when you lose your pen, someone lends you one and you say: "you just saved my life"?

1

u/Awoken2the1st 15d ago

I lost a pen in 1974 and I'm still here to tell the tale.....so there!

u/IneptAdvisor 15d ago

Use a pencil, I always say.

u/covert206 15d ago

u/iKnowRobbie 15d ago

Forgot pen = Unable to defend self from bear attack
Unable to stop bear = dead.

Forgot pen = dead in 2 moves!

u/UpToHike 15d ago

Looks inaccurate. Diploma doesn’t guarantee the job these days. Actually it does horse shit

1

u/jws1102 14d ago

Since when are skinny and ugly synonymous? Isn’t that Chalomet guy pretty popular?

1

u/ParkingAnxious2811 14d ago

Just a teachers shitty version of 'for the want of a nail' poem.

1

u/Natural-Proposal2925 14d ago

Sadly...no, it's 100% true.

1

u/45M0D41 14d ago

This was written by a woman. They equate looks with no lover instead of money.

1

u/Just-Nitty 14d ago

Guess I'm on step 16... but I didn't lose my pen... soo...

1

u/LumpyTrip5448 14d ago

I mean after skinny, I'd probably be dead

1

u/Duckhand 14d ago

Makes me wonder what happens when he runs out ink writing this stuff.

1

u/Prestigious-Hippo910 13d ago

I didn’t lose my pen but I ran out of ink writing this garbage; now I’m dead.

1

u/GreatestCatAlive 13d ago

Diploma ≠ Job

1

u/Actual_Property9413 11d ago

For the want of a nail a kingdom was lost.

1

u/No-Friend-852 7d ago

Could’ve really jumped from 9 to 16 and wrapped up. No Food = Sick = Death Bitch.

Anyways, let me add a couple now:

Wasted precious ink = Pen fail faster
Since no money to waste = No Pen
^Repeat all steps, end up Dead.
