A transformer having sex with a regular truck feels like it's violating some kind of cultural norm, but I'm not sure which one.

Our country song is called River of Time, and it's about a space trucker who tries to travel back in time to change the past.

Our metal song is called Sentience Is a Prison, and it's about a cybernetic cleaning golem and the wizard who created him.

I actually do have a band that plays (amongst other genres) both country and metal. We're called The Magical Space Wizards from Outer Space.

Is "tinsel on your squid" a reference to a particular piece of "advice" that I'm not familiar with?

I spoke too soon! Got dice from my parents and my sister this year!

I tried to do this, but after a few years, people stopped buying me dice. Except occasionally my mother-in-law.

The term "circlejerk" has picked up an interesting new figurative meaning in the names of subreddits, meaning something similar to "shitposting".

So for example r/vexillologycirclejerk, is full of dumb memes and jokes about flags.
