Iron is a pretty good metal, OP

>>7984989
this.

life is not worth living without humor.

because we think that if we are ironic and sarcastic enough maybe we'll actually start to believe that we're just ironically unhappy

Define irony

>>7984988
Getting us use to taking large doses of irony so that we may finally see the bigger picture, but in a way where it can be taken in humor instead of outright shattering the western psyche.
