unironically read Vonnegut. I know he's reddit-tier literature in terms of the actual intellectual content of his writing but he executes almost every aspect of comedy writing perfectly
1. have talent to write
2. find all your compasses
3. align all your compasses and then just write
Vonnegut is a cheeky case because he got his compasses bumped around in WW2 (in which he got caught up because he wanted to get away from his parents and huge family).
He still wrote gems like "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 1951" (published posthumously) my point being that you shouldn't follow anyones advice. Just write about the conditions you would need to be able to PROPERLY think about what you would want to write about... and the rest will come by itself.
Tbh it’s actually really poorly written. >”making it pulsate even as the”
so awkward it makes me cringe; reads like it’s written by someone who’s heard about books but only read a few.
really hate this meme frankly because it really is funny theoretically, just someone with a bit of skill should have written the bit
Yeah that was my favourite bit I’m not even racist but blunt stuff like this is always hilarious to me, even though it lacks any wit or cleverness it always makes me cackle.
Nope it's exceedingly necessary. To libs™ globohomo™SJWs™, fearing minorities is NEVER merited. This piece of writing then is not only funny and evocative, but it also speaks truth to power.
agreed. the passage itself (particularly with stylistic choice of capitalizing Black person), coupled with the fact that the writer is a IQfy poster, already implies the author probably thinks the fear is merited
Strong disagree. There's a word here or there one might change. But generally the core of this thing is strong enough that the rough edges become charming and give it something more than just quality- character. You don't need to read everything like an editor.
it's hilarious but i bet this anon wrote the entire thing in under 1min without even thinking super deeply about it. best memes often write themselves.
This. Sure, it's not "well-written" in classical terms, but it's memorable, funny, and is written with a stunningly realistic imagination that creates an impressionistic idea of a scene in very few words and with little actual content. Also, it's IQfy-ready.
Is that even OpenAI? OpenAI doesn't let you use Black folk, that's why it got changed to jannies. You could use nlggers or n1ggers but cheap censorship fricks with the soul of the text, I think
It is real. The reason it doesn't mention him entering the car is because the AI misinterprets the text and doesn't understand that he's outside (or at a gas station). It's guessing he's inside with the window open, parked on some street
forgot to mention that the parked on a street thing is clear cause it talks about people sitting on their front porches, it's guessing that "in this neighbourhood" means he's on some street, cause there's nothing else to go by
"I love my car," he said. He would like to see some Black folk try to steal it from him. He'd like to see them try to steal it from him and drive off into the night. He'd like to chase them down, cuss them out and beat them with a tire iron. "Bring it on, Black folk," he shouted. He laughed. The wine, the adrenaline and the music were swirling in his head. The world was spinning around him. "I'm the man," he said, "I'm the man." He turned off the music. He went home. He got into bed. He fell asleep. He dreamed of being beaten by a gang of Black folk. They stole his car and drove off into the night.

What the frick is Reddit-tier?
Just shy of midwit.
to me, it’s quirky and appears as very self aware, but this awareness is just lipstick on a pig
It's "popular bad" plus the fact that his writing is comedic in a quirky way.
Lurk more. Dont post for a year or two.
>learn board culture before opening your newbie prostitute mouth
Vonnegut. Are you lacking in reading comprehension?
Pretentious and/but lacking the soul
Oh and always lying to themselves
expanding on this, its pretentious, and preaches damnation and doom, without a chance for salvation

>compasses bumped
what's this mean? i like the sound of it, i have no idea what it's trying to express tho
nothing special... traumatic events get some things stuck, that's all
Tbh it’s actually really poorly written.

No one said anything about its aesthetic value. Your reply was unnecessary and a waste of your energy.
>seething
Cope
I am neither seething nor coping, sir. I am, however, feeding and seeding!
true
>OMG, IT'S NOT PERFECT!!!!! WEEOOO WEEEEOOO WEEEEOOO CALL THE GRAMMAR POLICE!!!
Control freak
I agree, and the "(merited)" is unnecessary and or redundant
Frick you you're wrong
That is what makes it funny. That the narrator reveals something startlingly fricked up in a very blunt manner.

What did niqua thinkin
That's the best part of the text, along with the last line.
Absolutely moronic take, never criticize literature ever again you knuckle-dragging neanderthal.
agreed. the passage itself (particularly with stylistic choice of capitalizing Black person), coupled with the fact that the writer is a IQfy poster, already implies the author probably thinks the fear is merited
its not perfectly composed but its veracity to the feeling of the image is the reason it is so widely shared
why don't you make your own version and see how it fares against the original?
It sounds like it was written by someone on a whim, with no thought put into it other than what came naturally, and no desire to edit it.
True

>”making it pulsate even as the”
Literally what's wrong with this?
I'd remove the "the" at the end to start.
>making it pulsate even as $9 wine circulated his powerful, thick veins and washed away his (merited)
disclaimer: i've never taken english lit
That doesn't seem very cringe-worthy.
?
Absence of SOUL: the post
Presence of COPE: the post
You would destroy this art by changing any word, it's meant to be written like that. This is why you'll never write anything good.
All the newbies falling for your post, well done anon
>calling the writing of others “poorly written” while using shitloads of unnecessary adverbs in your own writing
Wew lad
it's hilarious but i bet this anon wrote the entire thing in under 1min without even thinking super deeply about it. best memes often write themselves.

Thoughts on the sequel?
Astounding. A+.
Lol
Stupendous
Masterpiece.

Absolutely horrible. Reads like something a twelve-year-old would write on r/IQfy.
It's from an AI
And it sucks ass.
Is that even OpenAI? OpenAI doesn't let you use Black folk, that's why it got changed to jannies. You could use nlggers or n1ggers but cheap censorship fricks with the soul of the text, I think
All it's lacking is a mention of him actually entering the car.
Actual kino. Give it up aspiring authors, the machines have finally beaten us.
It is real. The reason it doesn't mention him entering the car is because the AI misinterprets the text and doesn't understand that he's outside (or at a gas station). It's guessing he's inside with the window open, parked on some street
forgot to mention that the parked on a street thing is clear cause it talks about people sitting on their front porches, it's guessing that "in this neighbourhood" means he's on some street, cause there's nothing else to go by
waht programm/website?
>suddenly he noticed black man walking towards him
>"JANNIES"
10/10
this actually does a really good job of keeping up the suspense of the paragraph
>2018
I swear this is much older.
Does anyone have the pic of the IQfyizen whose novel had the word "Black person" comprising something like 50% of the word count
I wish this guy actually published it.
that one single utterance of "darkies" always gets me
"I love my car," he said. He would like to see some Black folk try to steal it from him. He'd like to see them try to steal it from him and drive off into the night. He'd like to chase them down, cuss them out and beat them with a tire iron. "Bring it on, Black folk," he shouted. He laughed. The wine, the adrenaline and the music were swirling in his head.

They stole his car and drove off into the night.
Please never post on IQfy again
Please post on lit again

Haiku. You must be able to compress the image, distill it to its quintessence. Those serve as good practice. Stalking deer without straight lines.
>It's written badly on purpose.
for a second I thought I was in the william gibson bread lol

That didn't answer my question, b***h. What was wrong with:
