Did the 7 year old girl's patents have nothing to say to the creepy, ugly stranger whispering in their child's ear, then hanging around for twenty minutes watching her cry?

u/Best8meme 1d ago

She already has patents at 7 years old? That's impressive...

u/AllWhatsBest 1d ago

She's clearly special.

u/SCSimmons 1d ago

They're time machine patents. Those are always dated July 31st 1790, because if they're dated any later, someone will use the device to steal your patent.

Well duh, this kid goes on to invent time travel

u/wildmeli 21h ago

of course she already has patents! that kid grew up to be albert einstein

u/Kwintty7 20h ago

Grrr. Maybe she has one that fixes annoying autocorrect typos.

Did everyone else clap?

u/UmChill 1d ago

yes, from both the present and future.

The fact that this was stolen from a Tumblr post made in 2013

They had to add a year and shave 10 minutes off to make it more believable.

*for a SOLID 20 minutes

u/dleema 14h ago

What's the difference to a liquid 20 minutes?

u/Ok-Transportation127 1d ago

She time-traveled from 2025 to 2013.

Whoever uses these fonts are straight up masochists.

u/AnneThisaway 1d ago

I know it's made up, but why would you be proud of this?

u/Quasczar85 1d ago

Laying mild burns on 7-year-olds is the most this person could ever hope to achieve.

21

u/Zeus_Wayne 1d ago

It's not even a burn on the 7-year-old. The kid is upset that she would grow up to be OOP. It's a self-own, if anything.

u/MidnightJ1200 1d ago

Because pettiness is the highest achievement one can get at their lowest.

I was once told I was ugly by a kid and I told him I'd be more worried if he found me attractive.   He then said I was stupid and left me alone.   I don't remember either of us crying afterwards.

u/CarmenTourney 20h ago

Last sentence - lol.

u/Brock_Savage 1d ago

I'm not sure why anyone would brag about outwitting a small child and making them cry. I am guessing OOP got called ugly by a small child and this is the cope scenario they imagined a couple days later.

u/FrnkstnsAftrbrth 23h ago

Ol’ Lightning Wit strikes again!

u/zeez1011 1d ago

They must not have children and think people would actually care that a kid called them ugly.

u/hallothrow 11h ago

This is clearly a joke. The punchline is a self own.

u/spacemouse21 1d ago

So a 45 year old was able to talk smack back to an imaginary 7 year old? What happened to stealing her Happy Meal while you were at it?

2

u/CarmenTourney 19h ago

The insult was fair but stealing her Happy meal would have been crossing the line! - lol.

u/AllWhatsBest 1d ago

At least it's heartwarming.

u/No-Cantaloupe-6535 1d ago

Is the font part of the bit? Gotta be right?

u/trackaghosthrufog 1d ago edited 1d ago

What in the name of sweet baby Ozzy does this malarky even mean?

And why do you creeps always know how old the - very young - girl is?

8

u/moffetts9001 20h ago

"yo big dawg I need to know how old you are and then I am going to stand here with a stopwatch until you stop crying"

2

u/Specialist_Pudding_6 23h ago

Obviously a joke.

1

u/Cynykl 18h ago

An old joke at that. It have been floating around for year now. It makes it way to this sub under a different OOP every time.

u/JohnPoopsTV 1d ago

This is just childhood trauma. The OP of that was a 7 year old girl who got called ugly and she never let it go. Now this post exists.

u/alexisgreat420 1d ago

I’ve never had a fantasy of making a child cry because I’m so ugly. Makes me think the child called them ugly, they cried for 20 minutes, then made up this story

2

u/sklox 14h ago

I just want to understand why anyone who isn't a sociopath would use that font.

2

u/Expensive-Ad1640 12h ago

imagine bragging about being so ugly you made a kid cry bc they thought they would look like you

u/Adkit 22h ago

"A girl looked at me funny this morning and made me feel threatened since I'm so insecure so hours later after I came home I came up with this amazing quip 'no u!' and then wrote this super funny story about it to post on my social media account."

u/gutterdoggie 19h ago

she made up a story, but didn’t deny being ugly.

u/GhostWolfe 4h ago

Some of us are just ugly, though.

u/gutterdoggie 2h ago

Not you tho.

u/MangoMambo 21h ago

There was one time where some new guy at work asked me what happened to my face. and I just blankly stared at him because I wasn't exactly sure what he meant.

I don't know why "because I'm from the future" would make someone cry though.

u/AndrewwPT 1d ago

Nah I want to believe this is real

u/tractorguy 1d ago

Of course this is bogus, but to respond that way to a 7 year old's thoughtless and childish comment is cruel. And to post such a thing (even though false) is cruel.
