408: The Short Stories of Shortstory1 (post #14)
I know that a lot of pop culture references were already made this episode but for my money 3/4ths of these stories would fit as Cowboy Bebop plots dead on. These are all bounty targets the gang stupidly tries to collect on without realizing there's weird, supernatural/sci-fi caveats to their evil that makes them totally inviable to take in.
I also agree that they very much feel like you're in a weird dream. Not only is there no thoroughgoing narrative logic, it extends to there being no meaningful resolution either. Maybe... maybe if shortstory1 posted these on r/ambien instead of r/creepypasta et al, unscrupulously hiding that his posts were fictional, he'd be the proverbial ruler of hell rather than just another one of heaven's servants.

Shell I forget your exact phrasing but "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism except for my stuff" might be the best thing that's been said on this podcast.
And I'm including all of my jokes in that assessment, so you know I mean it!

406: We Found The Stupid Questions! (post #15)
fun fact: i'm 90% certain the "death by electrocution from ramen" is referencing Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, because i can't imagine any other book containing it.
for context but also spoilers for the story: it's a transmigration novel and the writer of the novel die this way, then transmigrates in. another character in the book transmigrates after choking on a bao b/c he finds the novel extremely stupid and dies saying "dumbfuck novel, dumbfuck author"

I also made this connection, though there are a lot of light novels that go for the "main character dies at his computer" no one makes it more obvious that it was specifically electrocution by ramen than mxtx
