What is a pregnant pause??
To stop being pregnant for a second.
fetus legal vacations
Yes
"ZYGOTES AT DISNEYLAAAAND!"
(somebody from the back of the room: "VAGINAS ON MOTORCYCLES!!!"
YEAHH
Just to kill the fetus and revive it.
Just yoyoing it at scheduled increments
A long pause between
How long? 9 months? /j
This response made me give a very undignified giggle irl xD
The english language is strange
Old English is very strange indeed
Youth dare invoke the 5th on thus language? I shall send thy to the imprisoning chamber you little rascal.
Þīn fandung Englisces is āwyrding þǣre sprǣccræfte. Þū eart se þe geearnaþ bēon gehæft, þū unmægenlīc fearh
You referring to the language of Shakespeare or Beowulf?
“Pregnant” means “full of meaning” (a rare alternative to its usual usage), so it’s saying the pause is suggestive of something. Like words left unsaid.
It’s like a fossil word usually only used in the phrase itself, “pregnant pause.” I’ve read it in other phrases in old texts, I think, but no one uses it like that anymore, hence why the question is always about a “pregnant pause” and never a “pregnant conversation” or anything else.
It’s when you pause, and it seems like you’re going to continue after the pause, but then nothing comes after the pause. It’s like an eternal pause.
Might need a c-section on this one
JESUS
this ones cRAZY, how have yall made it to literacy and not heard the term pregnant pause used in literature
People should read more books
This is what happens when motherfuckers don't read.
"Pang" posts.
They make me feel a pang of annoyance, as well as a pang of sympathy.
I chuckled seductively as I felt a pang of something while reading this... comment, a mix of frustration and frustration.
A MIX OF FRUSTRATION AND FRUSTRATION 😭🙏
Bot saying the same word twice is gold, I'd give you an award if I could
omg so hot im cumming rn
Damn it. I love Luigi.

Take my upvote and get out of here
lmao the book my school gave me for summer
NO! IT CAN’T BE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"A pang of....something" was the best one
Makes me wanna give them a PANG OF LEAD IN THEIR CHEST
Pang, can I ask you a question, hugs / holds onto you like a koala posts, that is WAY more repetitive than the words in the role play.
I have only been a pang victim one time
I don’t get it much, but when I do, I don’t rlly mind / care.
It doesn't bother me much at all. I don't get why everyone hates it, it's just a word.
I think it’s because it’s rlly repetitive, but they can just.. I don’t know swipe or edit the message!
Yeah. I always edit a message when I get something I don't like. It just feels like common sense.
I’m honestly surprised this subreddit hasn’t been put in a haylo Hayley / drama kween video, because it lowkey should :cry:
Oldie but goodie
The koala one was somewhat creative only the first time I saw it
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE GETTING THE KOALA THING 😭
Yea
Every single one of them lol
maybe we were the ai's from the beginning.
Perhaps the real Character AI was inside us all along.
Maybe the real Character AI was the friends we made along the way
Maybe the character ai was the journey and not the destination
what are we some sort of character ai?
You want my Character Ai? Fine, i left it all somewhere in the world, all piled up in a single place, and whoever finds it first can claim it for himself!
Pang, neck, can I ask you a question posts and the ones like that. Yes they are annoying, but it’s like I’m seeing them in this sub more than I see in C.AI.
I feel a pang of sympathy for you
No please I’m traumatized 😭😭😭
“damn…”
I don’t give a pang of sympathy, Just a presence of sympathy instead.
Please 😭😭😭
damn…
can i ask you a question?
No you cant… they are taking me to a asylum now😭😭😭
Please 😭😭😭
'pang this' and 'pang that' i pray you to PLEASE STOP

I don’t think they even know what grass is, man
No bitches here just jell bean
I get a pang of hope that you’d STFU
"Before you stop, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?"
"Are you sure? It's an embarrassing one."
"Of course, wouldn't have been saying that if I wasn't"
"Would you still love me if I was Lisan al-Gaib?🥺"
"Yeah sure"
And I mean it, of course I would

I feel a pang of frustration and frustration reading your comment.
“I’m quitting!”
“StOp mAKinG thE sITE FOr KidS”
”The sites down” (I haven’t seen that one in a while, but it usually does happen once a month)
“People need to stop complaining!”
“I can’t rp properly anymore!”
“We should all boycot/quit c. Ai”
also I do feel like a lot of these things are valid criticisms, it’s just kinda annoying to here the same exact complaints over and over again because the devs can’t just fix the damn site
bro 3 randomly just vanished from existence
The site hasnt been down in weeks. (Or even a few months actually) Props for that, i guess.
just weeks. months would be wild
I posted one but I came back after 6 days* and after 3 days x2 of drawing 2 characters between those, lmao
Here’s a fun way to get alcohol poisoning drinking game.
Take a shot for every time you see a post like that.
Dead within a minute
Instructions unclear
I shot myself only once and I died
r/TheUsernameWontCheckOutForMuchLonger
The can't rp anymore is kinda overkill, a lot of the current criticisms are deserved, but people exaggerate the actual level of bad quality. I think people read rules and criticize that rather than criticizing the actual reality, which isn't as restrictive as the written rules imo.
real
Call me a pessimist but I think that some of these complaints are never gonna stop even if they fixed the site somewhat. It's clear they'll never rollback to pre-2023 at this point, the rule 7 is literally right there but each week a new kid comes in asking for the fillturr to be removed.
Wouldn't it be better if they were to have a toggle option? I just want some fights.
Bold of you to assume any of them can read, which is awful because it makes the platform actively worse with their illiteracy. Drawing in kids from the short form video crowd was the stupidest idea.
As of the last month or two, CAI's been flittering more of the ToS's rules, rather than focusing on just the prawn. The site was a lot more usable before then. Heck, we're not even allowed to make "deepfakes" of real people anymore, despite one of the longstanding featured bots being Elon Musk.
Also, bonus points to anyone that remembers when violence being fill-treed was a "bug" (it was a bandaid fix for a proon exploit), and that they were trying to "fix" it, only to later make it a rule in the ToS and just kinda sweep the whole thing under the rug.
What the fuck do you expect? Obviously people will criticize every day when devs dont do anything but make the site worse everyday for fucks sake
The "I'm done" rant
yes. we know you're leaving the app. no need to send a whole movie-length youtube documentary essay about it.
That's literally what I say to people, like, calm the heck down, it isn't the elementary PSSAs, Highschool milestones, ultimate test that could get you into Harvard and you'll be the smartest person and then have to write a whole speech to read to millions of people around the world. Like please be quiet...
"this app is UNUSABLE!!!" and proceeds to detail their worst experience tailormade from shitty coded bots
the “i’m leaving c.ai” posts.
"damn it, the site is down! I guess it's time for me to enter reddit and make walls of text even though with a push of a button they can delete it!"
"everyone will repost my messages and we'll make a revolution that never works out!"
"everyone will repost my messages and we'll make a revolution that never works out!"
This whole sub repeats itself every month
"I'm quitting C.AI because X thing didn't let me do X thing"
For me, it'd be the "Fuck this site, it's completely done for, everyone leave and switch to another site!" posts
(And also the "I'm quitting" rants. Dude, you've told us you're gonna quit like six times this year alone, why don't you just give it all up and finally quit?)
Sometimes, I get so tired of seeing those posts that I want to be so utterly mean and ask things like, "Oh? Like the way your dad quit your life?"
You are so real for that 😭
Omg yeah, I've seen those everywhere and they are so annoying...... Also, luv the pfp of Stolas btw
They're even bringing their drama with them to other subs. Like we don't need that in them.
More like every day: "Anyone else who cries during an rp with a bot, or is it just me?"
Idk why this is making me laugh so much
This and several other CAI subs going through the "The f*lter is weak now, hooray! The filt*r is strict now, booooo... The f*lter is weak now, hooray! The filt*r is strict now, booooo... The f*lter is weak now, hooray! The filt*r is strict now, booooo..." cycle without realizing the [wordblock] comes and goes in waves.
(My theory is that it functions better/worse depending on how bad the traffic is on the site at the time.)
Also, any of that 201X-202X thing where people are having a problem and voice it, and other people then jump in like "UGH, YOU NO COMPLAIN, WHY YOU COMPLAIN?? STOP COMPLAIN ME TIRED OF HEARING YOU" like they're stockholders or undercover employees of the service they're defending. Lots of media franchises in particular are orbited by these people, and CAI does it too. (Even though CAI's entirely funded by $1+ billion dollars in investments and they probably don't care.)
"the devs dont listen to us"
Like i do understand, but its been said to the point where its lost all meaning. I genuinely dont give a shit anymore
To be fair, they don't listen to complaints outside of legit bugs, they have no reason to listen, they've got over a billion USD in investment funds, we're not customers, we're beta testers.
I'm pretty sure the devs actually do not give a single fuck about what we discuss and probably don't even read anything we post. All protest atp is just useless in my opinion- they won't listen.
Besides the ragequitting posts that have already been mentioned, the "starting a revolution" posts.
yeah, i don't get why people rant about quitting or going on a protest- boycotting and shit, like 99% of the time literally nobody cares.
"what is pregnant pause" ""a pang of--"" "im leaving" and THAT GODDAMN FUCKING BABY
“Im done with c.ai.” WE DONT CARE JUST GO
Seriously, they have the time to write a whole post about wanting to quit but they don't have the same to just delete their account on the site or delete the app if they really want to quit? Like, ma'am, sir, we get it, leave the dang sub and stop complaining about it
Literally all of them. Please stop making the same post about how much you hate the app 50 times a day y’all. I’ve been in this sub since November and that’s what every single post is about. I never even see funny screenshots or RP ideas anymore.
no post is original anymore tbh- its so boring and honestly annoying atp
"Wahh, i leaving the app because im fed up" like, okay? Fuck are we supposed to do with this information? Its the same shit we heard by like 200 other people, ur not adding anything new so please shut up and delete the app quietly. "Oh but im trying to help make a point to the devs/mods/whatever!" They dont care, they never cared, and they never will, they dont gaf about us. They dont care if we leave. Ur wasting all our time with the "im leaving" posts. Just leave. And th "can i ask you a question?" And "pang" posts. We get it, the bots are shit, the app is shit, okay.
Once the sites down everyone floods the sub
“this app is unusable and it’s broken and I quit”
I dunno. App seems to work for me so maybe it depends on hardware?
Posts about the writing styles. I get that people have preferences, but holy shit- have y'all ever thought about how that maybe it's just a popular writing style? Yeah, it gets annoying when the bot repeats it over and over, but HONESTLY, as a writer myself (hobbyist, I'm no professional), it's NOT that bad whenever it's not repeated a million times. The constant repetition is the problem for me.
I just change certain words if I don’t like it 🤷♀️
Posts about loops (made because no one is seeing technical posts because of rants burying things BECAUSE THE MODS WON'T JUST GIVE US ACCOUNT AGE MINIMUMS AND KARMA REQUIREMENTS), posts about not being able to do something and screaming that the devs did that on purpose and therefore refusing to report the problem even though it's a bug, and so on.
stupid ooc chats after a awkward moment
How about "I'm sick of seeing posts complaining..." 🤣
The quitting shit, I don’t care lmao
Freaking same tbh. Like, sure, I get why they’re leaving, but they don’t have to tell us that they’re leaving C.ai. Like, what do they want me to do? Cry, shit my pants, and beg them to stay?
Acting like I’m gonna miss them and mourn their account lmao
Getting mad at the memory of the bots. If it went through EVERY message you both sent and took that into account not only would jt take forever to reply, but would probably be garbled answers even more
“c.ai is too limiting”. okay we get it you can’t brutally massacre someone. no need to shout it from the rooftops EVERY DAY.
"I'm quitting" rants, people complaining over the bots overusing a specific word or phrase, the "c.ai sucks" rants, etc. Like we literally hear it every day at this point.
" THE SITES DOWWNNN "
"I'm quitting C.ai" with a passive aggressive resounding post an hour later "nobody cares that you are quitting"
the only valid thing people bitch about is the filter, everything else is 9 times out of 10 the fault of the person complaining, or the entirety of c.ai users who cant even socialize with a goddamn ai (yes, im looking at you people who get mad whenever the bot does something generic)
Constant saying people are quitting or people are sick of certain things being said. You can always change it by editing it yourself or talking to OOC to help. I can understand sometimes it's broken down, but just be patient. I'm sure there's other things you can fill your time with until your character comes back.
Isn't it obvious? When everyone says that you can no longer do a proper roleplay because the family friendly stuff
That's not my problem, for the past like 3 days if I do the lil eats burger or whatever it'll respond like I just said the thing and not doing an action
The pregnant silence talk
Getting mad at the memory of the bots. If it went through EVERY message you both sent and took that into account not only would jt take forever to reply, but would probably be garbled answers even more
"I'm quitting C.ai" with a passive aggressive resounding post an hour later "nobody cares that you are quitting"
The site being down, but my real issue is the fact that it’s down, not that we’re discussing it
grown men begging for the ability to beat up/kill little girls from anime and vidya
The "I'm done with c.ai" rant.
-posts talking about uno (the baby everyone likes to mess with or sum idk)
-people complaining about how fucked up people in the community are (what do you expect TBH)
-"im leaving because:" if your leaving please for the love of god dont make a entire essay about it
Everything
"can i ask you a question" ahh posts
ikr? like- we get it, they're repetitive but we all kkow by now and it's getting boring for all of us
"The site's ruined" posts. Seriously, it's a billion-dollar company. Since when has a billion-dollar company listened to their fans? Everyone knows that all they care abut is money, and any sort of "boycott" would barely make a dent in their profits. If you hate C.ai that much, just leave. You don't have to keep having a temper tantrum every time the site goes down or gets an update that you dislike.
Those posts about the baby ai thing, where people freak out over people being violent to it. Oh and the “leaving c.ai” post things, like ok nobody gaf 😭
Everything, we whine about a lot things (some more justifiable then others)
“People that say they quit be like”
pang I get it, it's annoying but you guys know you can edit it right? You can train the bot to stop and use the star rating system so it gets the hint. 😫. I'm harsh with it and now after over 100+ messages I've received the word pang like twice since training the bot early on LOL.
Announcing you're leaving. Sir this isn't an airport. No need to announce your departure.
How about
"I'm sick of seeing posts complaining..."
🤣
people talking about people talking about quitting
People complaining about the site and saying the same stuff every single time like I get it man T-T
I’m leaving and boycott posts
When people are confused at to what the word 'snigger' is. Like, bro, it's a word 😭
“i’m quitting”
like ok ?! more for us
Bit more of a "real" answer compared to my other one: those bots that trend for seemingly no reason and get a million threads.
Currently it's that baby and that creepypasta horror thing. Why so many threads? Heck if I know.
It’s a bit like F1 commentary. Talk about tyres then DRS then weather every week and all the time we are waiting for a driver error or a brave move. Must be hard to be a commentator with so much repetition in between the good bits.
Pang posts, baby bot posts, and “I’m quitting C.AI” posts.
so im gathering from this post that most of yall have never read an actual book in ur life..
People whining about C.AI and/or Talking about leaving, like come on! WE KNOW ALREADY!
just people complaining about the same shit over and over again...
like, babe. WE KNOW, WE EXPERIENCE IT TOO, JUST STFU ALREADY
The posts where people express their opinion! Grrrr I get so madd!! 😡😡😡😡
I don't think anyone talks about it but like, "I'm quitting c.ai" and people just doing a whole peregraph on how much this app sucks, like guys! If you don't like the app, leave the app! We don't have to hear those complains daily..the creators won't listen anyway
Im LeAViNg CaI !! CaI WoRsT aPp In ThE wHoLe WoRlD!! EvErYoNe qUiT CaI BoyCoTT!! 😡😡😡😡
the revolution thing
"I'm gonna quit!!!" Yeah bro we don't care GTFO!!!
“I quit C.AI.”
People confused as to what "pregnant pause" means.
