Muphry’s Law.
You forget to allow for Einstein’s* Law: any post relating to any scientific law will be incorrect or contain at least one inaccurate attribution.
*Or O’Reilly’s Law. Whatever. Google it.

Can you walk down the street feeling your nuts without feeling your nuts?
Muphry’s Law seems to predate Skitt’s Law by 7 years.

It’s a bot. Mine? Not.

Is this a timeslip? The last tweet was 2013.
I’ve seen many of these start to smoke:

Showing up as a picture for me.
If it’s smoking you’re putting too much voltage through it.

Yeah, this seems altogether too forgiving to attribute it to Muphry’s Law. It does seem to be a more a general consequence of the fact that people saying this sort of thing unironically are, well, ignorant idiots.
How sad - we need it now more than ever, too.

Far too much understanding of the initial tweets and nuanced references for a bot.
It took me several tries before I got this.
Is it weird that I pronounce are and our totally differently? Maybe “our soul” sounds like a dirty word in Dudley Moore’s accent, but in mine, it just sounds like “our soul”, and the dirty word in question doesn’t even exist.
I think that whether “our” sounds more like “are” or “hour” is a regionalism.
I’ve pronounced it both ways, even though I think that “are” and “hour” sound very little alike.
