This is why I started sending the Thomas the Tank Engine role players pictures of trains with asses, on the record: they were getting oddly territorial about other people using talking British train memes

So a bunch of Thomas the Tank Engine character accounts all got created after my post about debate bros featuring a scene from the show went up yesterday, & now these train accounts are dunking on me & standing up for their crew. In my business, that’s a little thing we like to call, policy impact.

"territorial" we literally didnt say anything malicious

stay weird, internet.

doing god's work. this whole saga has made me weirdly nostalgic for early 2000s internet

Years ago on Twitter I made an offhand joke involving adult Thomas the Tank Engine fans, a constituency I believed did not exist. I found out FAST.

Mocking trains was decreed a capital offence by the Duke of Wellington when he was Prime Minister 😑

Thomas, as they say, got a motor in the back of his Honda.
