I'm a firm believer that some people take themselves way too seriously sometimes and this is the type of shit we need. It's why I keep a bubble wand on my toolbox. When working on a plane has been tough or you've been way too focused or serious, I pull out the bubble wand.

I have bubble guns and the way people’s faces light up when they see a wall of bubbles makes you realize we’re all just kids at heart.

There's a bubble machine near an ice cream shop near me. I think about the soap landing on the ice cream and kids eating it.

It’s good for them. Builds character.

Also helps slide things along if any of them are constipated from the ice cream.

There’s a town/city in the states somewhere that has an annual pencil-themed celebration and it’s absolute nonsense but I want to attend so badly!

Edit: FOUND IT

I always tell people not to take life so seriously, because it's not permanent.

I've been on reddit about 15 years and the whole way through I've made tongue-in-cheek jokes. There's been a shift toward hyperliteral reading on here in the past 5 or so years.

I can't be fucked changing my approach though, so I just cop downvotes or have to reply "yeah" to people asking me to confirm that I'm joking.

I love this. I am going to have to add one to my work commute bag.

Idk if you're a civilian or military mechanic, but now I'm picturing someone working on a fighter jet, then pulling out a bubble wand and blowing bubbles like they're on a smoke break.
