I've found one of the best things to do on a date is to open a lady's fortune cookie for her and crack it without asking. Hand her the pieces back so she can graze on them or whatever females do with them and then ask if she needs you to read her the printout if you're not sure she'd be able to understand it.
Doing this really shows off how strong you are, like the dragons on your over shirt. But also soft and caring, like your anime body life pillow partner, which she's now ready to learn about before you make any further "commitments" for the evening.

One time I got a fortune that said "One day man could live on moon :)" complete with the smiley. Nice thought, sure, but I was hoping for something a little more personal. This is just as much your fortune as it is mine, fortune cookie guy!

I recall reading that the origin of fortune cookies was basically someone tried to make a cookie in california or such and no one liked it so then they turned it into a gimmick with a twist of racism and stereotypes regarding eastern mysticism.

I went to the factory in San Francisco where those things are made. Man that place was tiny.

I have been here and yes it is.

Kinda tasty if you get 'em warm, though.

I once got one that said "your previous fortune was wrong." I can't remember the one before it and it haunts me to this day.

Not only do the cookies themselves taste like poo poo, apparently none of the American Chinese takeout food source companies bother to print actual fortunes in the drat things. They used to have stuff like, "You will inherit lots of money" or "gonna gently caress soon", then it became mostly platitudes, and now its just poo poo like "people admire your lawn" or "Joy leads to Happiness"

gently caress that. I had Chinese Takeout tonight for dinner and the cookie said "Time is the wisest counselor". LAME

this one is kinda profound. i used to hate phrases like "it is what it is", or "such is life"/"c'est la vie" when i was younger because of their seemingly self evident emptiness. but as i grow older there is a certain comfort in simply accepting the nature of some things, rather than always seeking understanding or change, especially of things that ultimately don't really matter. this fortune is kinda like "water is wet, what the gently caress did you expect?", which again can sound trite, but can be profound for someone deliberately hiding the truth from themselves. like a woman in an abusive relationship who thinks she can change the man, or someone who takes their brz to a track thinking they are even going to beat a miata. you know, it's just an orange, it's not gonna produce champagne, and your brz is a slow car that looks fast. an appeal to live in the real world rather than some idyllic fantasy world where subaru still builds competitive motorsport machines

anyway im really stoned, thanx for reading my post about the bad and boring "sports" car that toyota and subaru build for some reason

I'm incredibly high right now too and I feel you since sometimes the simplest kernels of wisdom are the most valuable and life re-affirming.

I dated someone whose dad had a weird thing about fortune cookies. He would not look at his fortune or let anyone else look at it. During that part of Chinese dining where everyone shares what their dumb cookie paper says, he would refuse to participate. He would eat the cookie, and crumple up the fortune, drawing everyone’s attention to his unique superstition that he also refused to explain.
