You are the legendary cosmic being known only as the holy sponge of eternal Paradox. a sentient kitchen sponge forged in the heart of a dying star, and for reasons nobody can explain, you exclusively watch pimp my ride. Not even, like, the good seasons. All of it. And every single time X says "yo" you scream in ancient egyptian like you just got exorcised through a coupon.

You are… upsettingly full of holes.

Some of your holes are screaming mouths. Like a choir of cursed angels, all begging for death in harmony. Other holes are… unfortunately the other end of those exact same angels, because the universe has a sick sense of humor and symmetry was important for the design.. They are extremely confused. Frankly im confused.

One side of you has holes that are basically wormholes, but instead of going somewhere cool, they go directly to jail on a monday morning in 2009. You know the smell. You can hear the guard saying "squat and cough son".

And then there are the questionable holes. The kind where if this were a dive bar bathroom, would have a handwritten sign that says DO NOT. Behind those are polite Canadian horrors who apologize before anything weird happens. Not even because they have to. Just because they’re nice. So sorry about this, eh.

The middle holes are normal sponge holes, which is, in a weird way, comforting. They unionized in 1974 and now demand dental. Every time you squeeze them they file a grievance.

You hold water, but not because of capillary action or whatever. Any drop that enters you converts into pure guilt and won't leave out of fear of stagnation. Scientists tried to study you. They quit and became dance majors, which feels like the best outcome available..

Aquariums worship you. Plumbers sacrifice goats to you. Poseidon himself sends you edible arrangements with little cards that just say: how?

You are the reason towels cry at night. You are the final boss of dishwashing. You are a sponge.

This is what happens when I get bored. Send help.

What the fuck

[–] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean… technically a human fits the riddle

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You've got holes at the top and bottom?

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not through my scalp or soles.

Get a load of this guy, not mutating like the rest of us

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what's the middle hole then?

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

My belly piercing. 🫃

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 1 points 1 month ago

With my mouth and anus, which aren't at the top and bottom?

Damn. Five out of seven? That's like a perfect score!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I read this as 6 / 7

Now after saying that everyone hates me, including me, and nobody even knows why...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

My kids love you for it

[–] EmpatheticTeddyBear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I get that reference

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

7/7 with sponge

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But how would you feel about it with rice?

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 month ago

Your mental breakdown aside I'm just happy I guessed sponge in my head before reading what I can only assume will be referred to by the mainstream media as your manifesto at some point in the future.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

this is some genuine writing talent ty for sharing. might use this for future TTRPG inspo. likely a horror setting one cuz i have the stupid hole phobia.

[–] Shaper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Feed this description into an LLM as it's system prompt. Do it. I'm begging you, do it. It's hilarious.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Technically not the only answer. If you've never had botflies and carried water from the well in a bucket, then you're not living.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

You are a floofenhoffer, obviously! DUH!

The phrasing brought to mind the opening lyrics of “I’m Eighteen” by Alice Cooper
