It's a reference to the Wug test. Specifically the prompt "This is a man who knows how to gling. He is glinging. Yesterday he ______"

At the time the test was developed, it was commonly believed that children need to be instructed on how to conjugate each individual word they learn, or else they will end up englishing very ungoodly. The test showed that even young children have a grasp on how to pluralize and conjugate even unfamiliar words, and can make guesses on the meaning of new words based on context clues.

I think he meant to ask what this picture came from. Although the accurate description of reality is still appreciated

Dad had a friend with the exact same name as him in high school that he he almost killed once. They had dug a big hole, filled it with fireworks, covered it in gasoline, and then lit it on fire. This resulted in a big boom, and he couldn't locate his friend for a bit afterwards. Took him a while for his eyebrows to grow back after that. I suppose this is proof that I got my dumbass genes from his side.

I asked my wife how she would react if I told our kid this, and she just stared at me like I had grown a second head

Somewhere between 2010 and 2016, I found a podcast set in the HALO universe about an independent journalist exposing corruption in the UNSC. It lasted for one season, maybe ten episodes at most. Don't remember much outside of the Spartan program pretty much running on child abuse, and Master Chief being the human embodiment of roid rage. I'm fairly certain it was a flagrant copyright violation, but at the time i was a gullible teenager and thought it was official material for some reason. I kinda want to check it out and see if it is as good as I thought it was at the time—and I've also completely forgotten the plot, so all the plot twists will be new all over again.

I hope Bungee or Microsoft hasn't decided to blast it from the internet.

Edit: Found it! Hunt the Truth
