Really, YouTube? Really?!!! Yeah! I KNOW I'm not alone. Ernie doesn't want to live on the moon, either!

Bro, don't keep it all bottled up inside. Call the number, tell them all about your lunaphobia. They'll understand and can talk you through all the waxing and waning and crescent anxietys. There's help out there! /s

But what if people think I'm a luna-tic?

u/WizardsOfXanthus 1d ago
Lunatic literally means "moon struck", and that different phases of the moon made people act crazy, hence the term.

No, I don't think u/WizardsOfXanthus is a lunaphobe. You see, he would like to look down at the Earth from above, but he would miss all the places and people he loves.

You're not alone in not wanting to live on the moon, it's technically right - although, I don't think that's what the phone number is for 😂😂

aw, this is a really beautiful song. it's by Shawn colvin and it's from the 00s movie elmopalooza. We watched this movie quite a bit w our kids, it's a lot of fun. it's a stupid plot movie but it's fun and there's a lot of great music in it. This song broke me. I'd been working really long shifts for some time and came home exhausted and sat on the couch and the tape was on. My daughter and son were like five and seven, one each cuddled up under me each side. Jesus I'm getting choked up just writing this . My wife brought me over some food and sat down in the couch and this song came on . And I just started crying.
You worry so much getting a job, keeping a job, having kids, keeping them healthy paying the mortgage, keeping them fed, keeping your marriage. And I just felt like we made it past this Tipping Point , like everything was going to be okay . And this song came on
It was a good healthy cry. I was surrounded by people I love and were super sweet and very comforting. that moment plays back like a dream whenever I hear that song, or even if the name Is mentioned. cheers OP.

Before Shawn Colvin it was actually sung by Ernie in the early 90s. Find it on YouTube if you’re curious.

Sometimes search engines get confused, and when they do, they seem to offer the suicide help line for some reason.
I once asked Google "quickest, easiest way to get close to pi" looking for the simple equation people used to use to approximate pi (22/7). Instead, Google thinks that's depressing enough that I should call for help.

You're doing math for fun on your own. If that isn't a cry for help, I don't know what is.

If you use swipe texting, iPhone keyboard straight up won’t let you put the words “kill” and “myself” next to each other. It pretends you’re trying to type “missed” or some other shit, And won’t even pop “myself” up as an option. As if the inability to express their desire to do so in a text would completely derail the plans of someone suicidal. So i ask you, Apple, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

On a serious tip, the version of that song with Shawn Colvin singing along is fantastic!
