Clippy, the animated assistant in Word, is well known as one of the most hated software features ever released. Now we know why Microsoft released it – because the male engineers didn’t listen to female user feedback. “Even Early Focus Groups Hated Clippy. Women told Microsoft the animated paper clip was leering at them. The software company didn’t listen.”

OMFG CLIPPY WAS DESIGNED AS THE ORIGINAL MANSPLAINER

THIS MAKES THIS MEME EVEN BETTER

Baaaaahahahahahahahaaaa

friendly ass reminder that kit kats are the supreme candy bar and no other candy bar can ever compare and that’s tea

Yo have you ever had japanese kitkats tho?  they come is like six million bomb-ass flavors, like green tea, strawberry, BBQ, Pumpkin, Taro…  I had the Caramel Pudding ones once and I’ve never really recovered.

fun fact kit kats are very popular with students in japan because ‘kit kat’ sounds like a phrase that means ‘to do well’ so it’s a major study for finals snack

Was just talking about this with friends!

“kitto katsu” is basically saying to your friend “Good luck!” so handing them a kit-kat bar is the gift equivalent of the same~

It’s きっと勝つ meaning literally “surely win”.🍫

This is adorable, I had no idea!

“why are you inside the blanket”

“you don’t need that many ????”

*takes pens apart constantly*

“so you mean to tell me you go to town to walk around the shops and that’s it?”

*in a familiar area* “where to ____” “idk sorry”

*tries to balance weighted lap pad on my shoulder as I sleep*

Fucking mood

We’re all just confused, vaguely nomadic dragons

I support this theory!
