One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?
"just sayin' "
Yes. Yes you did. You just said.
"honestly.."
Wait, you weren't being honest before now? I catch myself saying this and it ignites that inner cringe.
The "Yeah, no."
Woah there, somebody want's to piss off the entire australian continent.
Yeah, naur.
"[Thing] is a game changer!"
Almost always used in the context of brand-speak/commercial marketing. What's the game, guys? Corporate propaganda? Cause no, using an app to book a handyman that pays to be advertised on your service, or buying microplastic encapsulated detergent is not a goddamn "game changer" for anyone, besides the shareholders.
some people I work with got to saying “1000%” when asked “would it be possible to…?”. Are you gonna give them 10 of everything they ask for??
"Collectivist society" and "Individualist society"
Whatever doesn't kill you only prolongs the inevitable!
life is beautiful.
no, it's not. it's an ugly, parasitic process that accelerates resource consumption merely for its own pointless existence. the heat death of the universe will come all that faster only because of the presence of life.
and, for sure, humankind is the pinnacle of this selfish and greedy outcome of biological evolution.
That's fair.
Life is beautiful. That it even managed to exist, let alone evolve is fascinating, wonderous, fantastical. That certain species mucked things up isn't life's fault.
