Back to Normal

"*That's right, back to normal, baby! Things are going right back to the way they used to be!*"
―Erik
Back to Normal is the 131st lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on July 17, 2021.

## Summary

As the world returns to normal, people are able to go back to what they used to do, such as lighting the ocean on fire. Erik challenges his students to see what all of the comments under that video have in common. He writes a long rant about how people use the word "literally" too much and then reveals the answer: all of their mothers were whores.

Erik learns about how Bill Cosby was released from prison. He looks at Cosby's twitter feed and comes up with the game Get Blocked by Cosby. He sends some tweets to Bill Cosby to try the game out. Then Erik looks into how Milo Yiannopoulos is saying he's straight in order to grift people. Erik leaves a comment for Milo and contemplates how things have changed.

Erik looks into GETTR, and he explains that the media is reporting on shirtless old men getting posted on the website. Erik investigates on his own as Donald Rumsfeld and posts some shirtless old man pictures in celebration of free speech. Gettr refuses to protect free speech and deletes the shirtless old men.

To end the lesson, Erik goes into Pavlov to tell everyone to buy Raycon. He continuously tells them about Raycons so they teamkill him.

## Comments

*Hey you know what's worse than the ocean exploding into flames? People who use the word "literally" too much. I think we need more fires in the ocean so we can round up all the people who have replaced every adverb in their vocabulary with "literally" and sacrifice them into the watery hellmouths. Next time you're about to say "I am literally so tired" or "I literally ate the whole pizza," I hope someone slaps you so hard that you literally shit yourself, and yes I do mean you shit your own self out of your ass like a mobius strip looping forever until your body digests itself into a skeleton and we dump you in a hole with the rest of the lobotomy victims who think Real Housewives is an educational program you worthless pieces of shit.*

*DUE PROCESS IS NOT A TECHNICALITY. THE MEDIA CAN’T SILENCE THE TRUTH. #BillCosbyDidntAdmit https://instagram.com/tv/CQ6vCkDHJG9*
- Bill Cosby

*They say justice is like Bill Cosby: faking blindness. Can't wait for the new comedy special you milky-eyed sex predator. An 83 year old dog would have aged better than you. You better hope there's not a 61st accuser out there or they're gonna have to try you in the hey hey hague**Can whoever runs this twitter account please read that to Bill before drinking anything around him?*

*Hey @BillCosby they say if you go blind your other senses become much sharper. You'll hear dark whispers from every corner of the room when you step into public from now on. And once the dementia kicks in, you won't know if those voices are really there or if it's your conscience**Once again please read this tweet to Bill when he's done furiously tearing apart the bedroom while screaming at the staff for throwing away his girlfriend pills.*

*Look at that Kentucky waterfall ass haircut lookin like a British Riff Raff, man this guy is hilarious. He said to the entire gay community, "You can't fire me, I quit!" Must be hard to keep a man when they can google how much money you still owe the Mercer family. If Milo really wants to open up a center to prevent people like him from being traumatized, he should make it a center for catholic priests and then make that center a prison. That said, it's really not so uncommon for people to look within and realize they've been lying to themselves about who they are, that maybe they can be reborn as a different person and finally feel at peace in their own body. I seem to remember Milo being completely understanding of that concept in years past, so this all makes sense.**Anyway Milo, I wish you all the success in the world with your plan to leech money off the church with another one of your harebrained schemes. I've never seen an already established heel take a second heel turn, but you did it. You crawled back out of obscurity and all it cost was the only part of you that read as honest. Maybe once you crawl out of debt you'll save enough money to join Scientology so you don't have to worry about anyone finding out you're actually gay.*

*@BillCosby announced he's working on a comeback tour, docuseries, and a book following his release. Here's a quick excerpt from the book which he's writing himself: "jfweisofji fjweiolfwsfwfolawsjf weigwhnawegwseg20w34tg3w43498ufwfawjso48 awj48fawe4fja3e05y8 0a4546684ae5ye5aaa5e"*

## Context

1. ↑ The Mercer family owns a foundation that helps fund conservative and far-right organizations.
2. ↑ Donald Rumsfeld was a major figure in the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Conspiracy theories believe that these invasions were actually a front to acquire oil from these countries.
