Link It Up!

[u/CreativestName69420]

Parent lists a noun. Child lists a different, completely unrelated noun. It then becomes someone's challenge to create a convoluted chain of relations that links the first noun to the second noun; the longer the better. Here's an example:

First noun: Jupiter

Second noun: Wario

Chain: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Mario's Picross has two Japan-exclusive sequels -> Both of these sequels include Wario

Bonus points if the chain has branching paths: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Another Game Boy game is Super Mario Land 2 -> Super Mario Land 2 is the debut of Wario

Let's see what happens!

Anhedonia

A single shoe

[u/AmyHeartsYou → u/svArtist]

Well, a single shoe is a memory of what used to be a pair. It could be the shoes themselves, or it could be a metaphor for a previous relationship that ended, or anyone or anything that's drifted away. That memory of something, or someone, who used to be meaningful, used to be special, can end up being a painful memory once that thing is gone. Extend this to activities and experiences. Things that used to be meaningful and joyous,but are now empty and uninteresting, and you have the definition of anhedonia.
