I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  1. never lie.
  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

    Treat others how you want to be treated. The single universal golden rule.

      This has led to Karens, chads, influencers, racists.

      So it isnt as wholesome as it is commonly used

        I don’t think Karen’s want to be shouted at over trivial shit or racists fancy the receiving end of their respective stick.

          … And part of a Karen’s dna is getting upset when other people treat Karen’s like other people want to be treated. With respect and stuff

          Side note I hope my girlfriend, who’s name is Karen, is well. (we went to highschool together but never dated till we graduated)

          If the real Karen is out there I hope you have had a wonderful life! You were never a Karen when i knew you Karen!

        Logically, When followed it would not lead to racists.

        I agree, yet too many people lack empathy to follow the rule in that regard

            Thank you stranger. If’s funny, I’m thinking of just posting key words sometimes to see how many downvotes I get because it reallly doesn’t make sense most of the time, unless it’s bots or other nefarious actors
