'Cause people tend to not get the memo: People acting strangely in public is not a danger to you. Pacing, talking to themselves or something you can't see, laughing to themselves, stimming, twitching, ticcing, making "weird" noises--it doesn't fucking matter. They're not your personal freak show, they're not broken, they're not a murderer and they're definitely not going to be fucking helped by you calling the authorities or anyone else on em. These actions alone are not indicative of danger to you, as a random person on the street. Shut the fuck up and move on, leave disabled people alone.
As a person who has primarily lived in very low population areas, I find it hilarious when people are scared of outdoors noises because... that's exactly how I feel about city noises. Wdym the weird noises from the badlands are scary? Have you heard your own habitat? Giant fucking diesel trucks rumbling right past your window and you give zero shits. Nah, give me back the screeching mountain lions any day.

We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.
Instead of trying to replace an ableist and incorrect usage of intensive though (e.g "the intrusive thoughts won tonight") to mean impulsive behaviour with the term "impulsive thoughts" (which is clunky because it obviously still draws from intrusive thoughts and is similar enough for people to not notice or know the difference, is still ableist as this is also a medical term, and self-contradictory, as any impulsive thoughts are not necessarily harmful in a way that works for the meme), I suggest we start referring to it as The Impulse. Capital letters and all.
Arguments:
- draws on the popular internet slang expression of The Horrors (unspecific but commonly experienced life struggles of both psychological and material original), and is therefore not connected to the ableist misuse of instructive thoughts;
- additionally, implies the existence of universal human experience with The Impulse, in a similar way humans universally can experience The Horrors, and therefore inclusive of all;
- also implies the existence of The Impulse entity which, according to individual interpret, can be anything yet immediately relatable to other people;
- is literally just funnier than both intrusive thoughts and impulsive thoughts in that context;
- sounds ominous enough to use in ominous situations.
Example of use:
"bro let The Impulse win 💀"
"The Impulse won tonight (dyed my hair at 3 am)"
"The Impulse telling me to call my ex [insert reaction picture]"
"can't let The Impulse win this one"
You can also smack at ™ there, implying that The Impulse™ is well known enough to be trademarked and widely recognisable, which I think is cool.

Love when bringing up legitimate concerns is labeled as making up excuses. "You need to at least try and do what the doctor says," mf the doctor is telling me to injure myself.
