I was thinking about sentences that can tell the entire story on their own. I have 2 common examples:
- So, I started to play WOW
- My husband was 20 older than me
I can already tell how is gonna develop and end. What other sentences you know that have this effect?
“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
“After this, I’m retiring”
The would-be retiree is dying the ABSOLUTE next scene. RIP my wingman PJ, he was gonna marry his girl after we left the Avalon Dam
“After this, im retiring”
2 years later: Hayao Miyazaki is making a new movie.
“I’m not racist, but” oh, they are going to say something racist.
It’s fun to put “I’m not racist but” in front of totally innocuous statements.
I’m not racist but there’s a blue Hyundai parked outside my building.
It still works. If I heard that my first thought would be “who are they racist against?”
Have you heard of GME?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
“Yes, I have! We learned about him at the Academy. It turns out it was an ironic nickname given to him by his peers after his disciple basically took him down. One of those lessons in knowledge and treachery, meant as a fable for building false trust, but some idiots are empowered it.”
