strange

The rule of thumb seems to be here that if you have to ask, it's probably illegal.

Online marketplaces connect everyone in a fascinating world of supply and demand, where sometimes the supply is old benches from fast food places, uniquely shaped Cheetos, and extremely realistic horror-themed baby dolls. There's not a whole lot of demand for all the weird and bad stuff people try to sell online, but at least it's a spectacle.

Maybe it's a 6th sense, maybe it's sheer panic, maybe it's using your eyes to see an angry pig barreling at you like you're made of slop. There are moments in our lives where we know that the right thing to do is just leave and never come back. There are also those moments where a particular place beats us down to the point where we say "screw this, I'm out.' There are moments we just know when it's the time to nope on out.

It's weird that we're surrounded by people all the time, but it's against social convention to have a meaningful relationship with any of them. As rare as it is, people will take time out of their lives to make more of an impact than being just a face in the crowd. Some of these interactions are strange encounters, others are wholesome, but the one thing they all are is memorable.
