By the time a Marine pulled into a little town, every hotel room was taken. “You’ve got to have a room somewhere,” he pleaded. “Or just a bed, I don’t care where." 
"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant, a Navy guy,” admitted the manager, “and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I’m not sure it’d be worth it to you.” “No problem,” the tired Marine assured him. “I’ll take it.” The next morning the Marine came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “How’d you sleep?” Asked the manager. “Never better.” The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?” “Nope, I shut him up in no time.” Said the Marine. “How’d you manage that?” asked the manager. “He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room,” the Marine explained. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, said, ‘Goodnight, beautiful,’ and he sat up all night watching me.”

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

I saw that reverse writing tropes prompts go around and the 'instead of fake dating everyone's convinced you're not actually dating' is a 10/10 prompt for Steddie lol.
Between Eddie's dramatics and Steve's two year "thing" with/over/about Nancy, the fact they're instantly comfortable with each other, and the fact their relationship is very jokey, and you have not a singular soul believing either of them.
Well except Robin, but that's only because she shares a braincell with Steve and has more than once had to coax him out of the bathroom in grounds that Eddie "Won't break up with you over a bad hair day dingus God."

Eddie replacing Lucas with his little sister, who had never played with them before, was a dick move and making Mike and Dustin do it was worse. I love Eddie, but that was a dick move. Basketball is a game just like D&D, but it was a game that Lucas didn't have the power to post pone, but Eddie did. It showed that Eddie didn't respect the friendship between Lucas, Mike, and Dustin, who played the game with each other for years. Their friendship, their sense of comradory, is what makes them love the game so much. Did Lucas join the team for the wrong reasons? Yeah, sure, but I also think he enjoyed it, and he wanted to explore that side of him. He was scared of losing his friends because of it, which is why he wanted them there and what did they do? Replace him with his fucking sister. I'm sorry but that would have hurt. It showed that Eddie didn't really care who played with them as long as they could play the game. It showed that the players were replaceable. They've been playing D&D for years, and they couldn't take one night off for one basketball game? Seeing his friends there probably would have made Lucas feel better about being both a nerd and jock. It wouldn't have made his stomach churn or twist up in knots about having to choose one or the other. Honestly, it's also a great way to showcase how some bisexuals feel in their own community, the struggle that goes with it. Do they date the same sex and be welcomed into the community, or do they date the opposite sex and become labeled as a straight person experimenting? That shit still happens today. As someone who thinks Lucas is bisexual, he might have been struggling with his own sexuality too.

Eddie’s live-streaming from the front porch where he’s sitting on their porch swing, playing guitar. So Eddie did not bring his followers into their neighborhood drama. Steve did.
You can see Steve pass in front of the camera a few times before you hear him loudly ask, “What?”
There’s a pause and then he’s like, “I can’t hear you!”
Eddie looks up and over towards the yard but he doesn’t stop playing. He doesn’t seem to have any interest in the conversation going on at all. His chat on the other hand are thrilled to be able to hear Dan say, “Got myself a ring camera. It records the porch and the driveway and sends the video to my phone if it detects movement. So if any vandalism happens…I’ll know.”
Steve: Okay…? And I have a gun
Eddie: *experiences twelve different flavors of ‘what now?’*
Dan: Is that a threat?
Steve: No. I thought we were both just stating facts about home security no one cares about.
Steve: You can go now. Bye.
Eddie, stopping Steve before he goes back inside: Babe, you don’t actually have a gun, right?
Steve:
Eddie: Stevie, you once almost took my head off with a baseball bat full of nails in your sleep. You did NOT buy a gun.
Steve:
Steve: Are you stupid? Why would buy a gun when I could borrow one from Nancy?
Steve: *goes inside*
Eddie:
Eddie: That didn’t answer my question, Steve!

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
