“In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move”.
I’ll read this phrase but I won’t enjoy it
This isn’t the greatest sentence, this is just a tribute.
“I look both ways when I cross a one way street, because that’s how much faith I have in humanity.”
I live on a one way street. The amount of vehicles that zoom by in the wrong direction is ridiculous
The chinese poem “The Story of Mr. Shi Eating Lions”
Shíshì shī shì shǐ shì, shì shǐ, shī shì, shì shí shí shī. Shī sì shì shī. Shǐ shì shè sì, shì shī shì, shǐ shī shì shí shī shī, shì shí shí, shǐ shí shìshì. Shǐ shǐ shì shì shì shì, shì shī shì. Shì shì shì shì.

Look at what “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” needs to mimic a fraction of that power
I wouldn’t label it as “the greates sentence ever”, rather as a great example why chinese is a highly cumbersome and impractical language.

“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
I’d agree, but that’s 2 sentences.
Dammit
Okay imagine there’s a semicolon there instead
“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”;
Still doesn’t work.
At least now it compiles
In the end, isn’t that the real treasure?
Half the kingdom and my firstborn for passing tests
I guess a string literally followed by a semicolon would be an interesting way to leave a comment. I may use this in the future since comments are against my religion. Figuring out what my code does is future me’s problem. And that guy’s a dick he never comments his code.
Em dash that bastard
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Somewhat famously this line (the entire soliloquy actually) was improvised by Rutger Hauer in the moment, so not strictly written down. Just taking the piss mate, best fucking movie ever!

“He who fights monsters must see that he doesn’t become a monster himself. For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.”

I hate how often I see this quote without attribution.
Also: “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”

Ummm
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger."
Yeah, that’s Kelly Clarkson, m’kay?

“A Florida woman has been accused of entering the penguin enclosure to teach them to tap dance, using a live alligator as her partner.”
I can’t fix her. She’s already perfect.
I know. I do wish I was her.
Don’t let your dreams stay dreams. I’m not saying it will be easy. Get an alligator and a pineapple costume. Sign up for tap lessons and bring them along. Volunteer as a docent at your local zoo. Success isn’t guaranteed, but I bet you’ll be surprised with how far you get.
Thank you for your faith,…the alligator is likely to be my biggest challenge. Maybe a baby croc…or a Winnie dog in an alligator outfit……it’s the same thing really. I don’t suppose I even have to learn tap to teach it. So there’s a few hurdles down.
Does she have a sister?
At this juncture, I would point out that !floridaman@lemmy.world also accepts “Florida Woman” submissions.
EDIT: Unfortunately, it appears to be fake.
I mean, fake or not, it’s just such a great sentence.
I need this pineapple costume.
I believe we have a winner lmfao
I like her

If something good happens, it’s a cautionary warning to stay humble.
If something bad happens, it’s a comforting reminder that things will get better.
I saw this quote on the desk of a proctologist I once visited.
Good point
