[WP] Aliens don’t have swear words. In fact, they are entirely unfamiliar with the concept. Because of this, they get very confused when Earth’s ambassador starts yelling about sex and feces after spilling some coffee.	60
[WP] “Please stop, Jeremy,” you cried, “you’ve become more plot device than person!” Jeremy looked up from killing the protagonist’s parents. “What in the world would give you that idea?”	56
[WP] When aliens fight wars, they use machines similar to tanks and large warships, all adapted for space. When humans first fought in those wars, we won by mimicking Star Wars. When the aliens asked us about our odd strategies, we just told them, “You should try spinning, that’s a good trick!”	54
[WP] The woman you accused of witchcraft is becoming more and more suspicious of your knowledge. Luckily, this is a witch trial, not a time traveler trial, so you’re safe.	53
[WP] You are a time traveler, stranded in the past after your time machine broke. Your roommate is in the same situation, and it’s gotten a bit awkward since you’ve lived together for almost a year and you still haven’t told them you’re also from the future.	39
[SP] Gordon Ramsay leads a guided meditation.	36
[WP] “But, you’re dead! I went to your funeral!” “But there wasn’t a body.” “It was open casket!” “What?”	32
[WP] You have a superpower: if you die, you wake up back in bed that morning with nothing but an injury relating to the way you died. It’s proven many times over to be a lifesaver (literally) with your lifestyle. However, your friends get worried when you show up with severe burns out of nowhere.	32
[WP] For the past few weeks, you and your crew have been stuck on a spaceship with no way to contact anyone else. While the others are confused as to what’s going on, you’ve figured it out. As you go to start some drama, you smile and wink to the cameras.	31
[WP] God made humans without a natural interspecies translator - they are the only species in the universe with this issue. This was alright while they were still on their own planet, but it’s causing problems now that they’ve encountered alien life.	22
