Speaking in Parentheses 

Why are you buying clothes at the soup store?

​@RoseKindred FFF ECK YOU! Attempting to get around RU-vid understandably censoring this reply

Weird Al wants to know the location of this Hardware Store

They have the cure(d cuts of meat!)

WHY ARE YOU BUYING SALAMI AT A HARDWARE STORE???? SCREW YOU!!!!!!!! (Get it? _SCREW_ you?)

Undertale and Deltarune are pretty connected and Spamton mentions "half-priced sallamy" if you try to pick him up with a full inventory

@realcrownedcryptid undertale > deltarune > spamton > salami and home depot. Spamton already sells things so not much of a stretch. Multiple ways to do it!

Or spamton "half price salami'

@@Blwbellesallamy*

Possibly the train of thought ran them past IKEA at some point, a furniture store that sells meatballs. Which would beg the question: what if other seeming incongruant stores where to sell food? And thus, Home Depot Sausages.

Good to know (i cannot)

​@@nearlymellodramatticGood.. to know.. (I'm not sure either of you can) (And I'm kind of scared)

I can probably be trusted with sharp objects (but I don't think you should try out (I wouldn't trust myself with sharp objects))

@@shytendeakatamanoir9740gotta close that with two parentheses (I would know, I coded something once)

@@superPancakes22 Oh, right, my bad

Now big shot is stuck in my head (this is a good thing) (also same spamton, same)

I think he just has a virus (severe emotional trauma (and/or nihilism (which is a whole other disease upon the psyche)))

lost in the sauce

That actually makes a lot more sense. I mean Papyrus does seem like the person to respond to a message as soon as he gets it, or maybe even anxiously await new mail depending on the occasion (I do that sometimes, though mostly with RU-vid comments). Sans is just lazy lol. No explanation needed.

well, it's not that Sans is popular at least. the game makes a point that Papyrus struggles socially

This is literally the perfect video to make an off-topic comment on

that's how I immediately interpreted it when I first saw it! If you have an overstuffed mail box, it's not because you're popular, it's because you're probably procrastinating/don't care. As far as I can remember sans isn't a celebrity or anything, he's just well liked at grillby's. No one's writing him dozens of fanmail.

Didn’t it say that all Sans’s mail was junk mail when you looked at his mailbox? In which case yeah that makes total sense. Sans just let the junk mail pile up lol

OHHHHHH. I THOUGHT HE WAS DOING HIS KID. I DIDNT REALIZE UNTIL I SAW YOUR COMMENT

I think that further emphasises the point.

I need to know, is that a figure of speech or did you like, actually legitimately stand up and jump into the air like a cartoon character

There's a line in a play I was in that is exactly like this- (A guy who only follows trends explain why he's not religious), "People aren't doing God, they're doing children! Children and walking and gas ranges but not God!" Or something to that affect, it's the funniest joke in the whole comedy

Agreed.

Yes! Honestly, it's just the autism. People will misinterpret everything you said the worst possible way, because you didn't get some obscure, never written rules that, apparently, everyone else understands? (And it's worse on the internet). So you need to really explain what you mean, or how can you ever hope to be ever understood otherwise?

@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Can attest, the internet is hell for people with anything resembling autism.

​@@jackpijjin4088 in that case what am I exactly, Lucifer?

*I do this verbally when explaining myself.* (I feel very self concious now) (thank you tumblr (actually, thank yuo Bettina for bringing (that is how you spell that right? yes thank you spellcheck) the post to my attention)) (crap thats a lot of red underlines... I HATE SPELLING!)(...but I love reading?(how does that work...))

Oh! I like to say that my brain did a hopscotch :)

Basically House of Leaves

Eventually (but how long?) the paragraph stopped thinking (You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?)

In Australia we get sausages at our hardware stores

@@calcutt4 I maintain that Bunnings Sausages are the BEST SAUSAGES EVER

@@anthonybenci9035 agreed

Ok, you wouldnt get salami from home depot but this is actually an interesting question. lets work this out. On average, you should save around 40% of your money shopping at home depot rather than anywhere else. The average price of pork per pound in the US is around 70¢, lets assume that you want 3 pounds, (i know, thats a lot of salami) that would be $2.10, 60% of $2.10 is $1.80 in conclusion, the price should be around a dollar and 80 cents for 3 pounds.

Well they're also Swedish so they get a pass

Like an electron! In a conductive material (like a copper wire, where you want current to pass through), electrons go really really fast, but they bounce all around like crazy, so they move forward (the direction the current is pushing them) fairly slowly.

@@crazysasha1374 YES! Thank you.

yeah,

Proper use of embedded parentheses 🌟

Is this allowed? Like I constantly want to use them, but I thought it is not correct to do so neither gramatically nor socially.. I've never ever seen nested parenthesis used anywhere except for this video and its comments, so I always thought that one just isn't supposed to use this structure.

⁠@@AlexanderTheMiddleI mean, there's no law forbidding you from it! (I mean this genuinely and positively, as I all too often find myself falling into the trap of thinking of social interaction as a set of rules one needs to follow.) It can get a bit confusing nesting them, but if people can properly understand you, I don't see why not! (though I would recommend against using it in formal writing (but you can sometimes get away with reformatting it as either a footnote (depends on what you're writing) or a semicolon (Though I might be wrong on the semicolon front; I'm still not 100% sure how semicolons work (despite often using them in informal settings like this one)))) The only issue I've found with writing using excess parenthesis (said issue being discovered in part because of writing this comment) is that writing out every detail of one's thought process (without properly considering how everything ties back to the point one is trying to make) can cause one to indulge more than usual on those side tangent thoughts, meaning one is more likely to lose their train of thought, along with any sense of cohesion for whatever one was trying to say (side note: do most people actually use the epicene pronouns of one/oneself in normal speech/text, or is that just a me thing? do people even properly understand it? (does my overuse of things like semicolons and epicene "one"/"oneself" make me come across as arrogant or unnaproachable? I really hope it doesn't; I'm just a humble linguistics nerd)) So yeah, go for it! Just make sure to remember what you're actually writing without the parentheses (because I'll be honest, I had to reread the un parenthesesed (parenthesized?) sections of this comment just so I could remember what I was originally writing about (though that may not be the parentheses as much as the fact that I'm writing this at nearly 5 in the morning (I should probably go to sleep))) It also seems to work a lot better if I reserve nested parentheses for the end of sentences or other natural stopping points rather than in the middle (as interrupting the flow of the sentence like that might make it considerably more difficult to read/follow) (also sorry for the long comment lol, I just got into the spirit of putting parentheses whenever I had an additional thought ("parentheses" being a word which I may have been spelling wrong in this entire comment (I turned off autocorrect on my phone a while ago (is there a way to turn off autocorrect but not the spelling suggestions??))))

Same. I always want to specify things or add details or asides, sometimes recursively. I've had to learn not to do it though, people don't like it, as it just comes across as rambling when done verbally. I actually thought this would be what the video would be about. I was kinda disappointed it wasn't.

No do not give him character development, let him be evil.

This happens to me (Lie) (but I want fake internet thumbs) (So I'm writing like this) (New bracket to extend the comment) (Because it will produce results)

​@@CR1MSONACE why are you in my Bettina video's comment section (i saw you last whith youtubers with P in their pfp) (PM and PT) (I understand if you don't wanna go back to the salem videos) (please help the comment section has been on fire since the spoiler shields started popping up) (dont ask)

I understand the joke but this is actually a good question. Ikea sells food so why shouldnt home depot, lets work this out. On average, you should save around 40% of your money shopping at home depot rather than anywhere else. The average price of pork per pound in the US is around 70¢, lets assume that you want 3 pounds, (i know, thats a lot of salami) that would be $2.10, 60% of $2.10 is $1.80 in conclusion, the price should be around a dollar and 80 cents for 3 pounds. Also at 1:50 thats what they said about ikea.

Me too buddy (that's why I need to only do one thing at a time (thought in a southern (caracatural(I misspelled caricatural) accent for some reason (i'm thinking in the voice of a character i currently like (who happens to have a southern accent)))

Look on Fivver. Last time I looked around there, they had fairly reasonable prices and really high ratings (obviously depending on whose profile you were looking at).

1:40 but this is a actually good question. Ikea sells food so why shouldnt home depot, lets work this out.

honestly the autism one I don't get and the irony is it might as well be because of exactly what you described

@@uncroppedsoop The autism one is my experience as an autistic person and having literally no thoughts in my brain. I need to manually translate the shapeless void of emotions and intended actions in my brain into coherent sentences, and even tho the translator doesn't always work, I'm perfectly fine with other people guiding me or me guiding other people to the ends of their thought processes :D

@@BlackCat-hm2sf sounds pretty unique to me, my experiences have been more things you'd have to observe intentionally

@@uncroppedsoop Same here, I'm on the low end of the spectrum and you can't tell I'm even on the spectrum at all unless I tell you I am XD
