[My usual span attention]
[Fictional character screaming in the distance]
Sorry to get weirdly serious on a shitpost, but I don’t know if a concept does cease to exist just because you’re currently not thinking about it.
That’s partly the theme of the novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which argues–in quite a lovely way–that ideas have a life of their own. No one remembers Addie, and yet she still leaves marks on the world.
Anyway, have an upvote cause Ralph made me laugh, then overthink.
Wow wasn’t expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who’s to say that the thought of “Ralph” doesn’t trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it’s a beautiful sentiment.
P.S. That’s probably my favorite book I’ve read in the last few years.
Mine too! I’ve read it twice now, and I’m close to reading it for a third, lol.
Does God cease to exist, when there are no believers anymore that keep thinking of the concept?
It should follow the same logic.
Yes, gods die when they don’t have worshippers. According to Terry Pratchet
By the logic of this post, yes they would. By the logic of my comment…no? I’m honestly not sure, but I feel like they would live on in some capacity by the marks they/their former followers have made on the world. History was shaped by lots of humans that are dead now.
A living person can leave an impact on the world, but they still die when they are killed.
It’s like the Game. It doesn’t exist until some asshole on the Internet mentions it again.
Listen here you little shit
I love how this has been going on since at least 20 years or so.

Jerk! XD
He should be scared
I’ll always remember you Ralph. Though, I can’t even remember what I had for dinner last night. I wonder what I should have for dinner tonight…
Mac and cheese with lightly crushed hot cheetos.
If Ralph falls in a forest, does he still make a noise?
Woah dude if you showed me this picture when I’m stoned then I’d totally flip out and force myself to think of Ralph for hours
Annnddd… into the void Ralph goes!
Some existential crisis stuff right here
I wonder if Ralph originated in the southern hemisphere because he’s wearing a hat and maybe it’s colder there. It might complicate things because it’s already Friday there and it kind of sucks to cease existing right before a weekend. 😁
It’s going to be okay, Ralph
