Not me, I was fast as fuck boah!
Nah. Being It always ended when the game ended and a new It was picked at the start of the next game whenever that was.
I have collected 19 its so far after being tagged and refusing to relinquish the power & at this point im not sure many could survive a 19x strength tag
Oof, “tag 19x” lol eek
Hey, if tag works like homeopathy, they are gaining superhuman strength here!
Can't tell if you sound like a fun hang, insufferable, or both 😄
Oh we realize. We are waiting. Poised for the moment you least expect to strike and pass on the dreaded curse of it.
Any day now.
Brother you need to pass on the curse? I know a guy who will take it from you, no questions asked. Very minimal fee.
Did... Did they lose the game?
They most definitely lost the game. I bet they're breathing so much right now.
Sounds like something that would happen in an Adam Sandler movie.
He's walking down the street in NYC, and some guy runs up behind him and slaps him on the back, yells, "You're it!" and runs off.
"oh shit! I think that was Davey Roberts! We used to hang out on the playground back at PS 119 back when we were kids. I wonder what the hell that was about..."
Cut to Facebook search for Davey roberts
cut to messenger live conversation
"Davey!! Long time no see buddy! How you been?!"
...
"your it" (misspelled, no punctuation)
Sandlers character gets a notification indicating he's been invited to a Facebook group
sees group name
"PS 119 Tag Never Ended"
This winter...
cut to playground stock footage
Adam sandler is...
fast cuts of adults sprinting down alleys
"Still It"
Rated PG-13
Coming to theaters December 23rd
This is an snl thing waiting to happen
Give this premise to Musk and he'll swear his AI can make it a movie in a week!
Not Adam Sandler, but... https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/d40f0431-daf1-4e13-b03b-95b8b4be860e.jpeg
And the tags get exponentially more forceful as they chase each other down the street, through the park, across a university campus, over the basketball course, until it devolves into a full-on fistfight in the girls locker room ending with Adam Sandler delivering an overly dramatic tearful confession about how he actually cheated at tag that time in school because he was jealous that his friend spent more time with cute Amy, because he missed his friend so much. That means his friend was actually the one who was "it", so they chase each other again.
I had the cheese touch for 17 years.
This is kind of like the movie Tag.
I think “it” resolves when the game ends
But the bell rang!
The turtle won't help.
what's worse? not knowing, or knowing?
Yeah well any of you guys who haven't thought about The Game in awhile, you just lost
It's probably me. I never was fast enough for tag. I was great at hide and seek though.
I'm totally it
No it.
So that means they never touched anyone in all that time? Highly unlikely.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
