  1. One word: Pyrokinesis.  How would you like to have that super power? I mean, you could play around in the Himalayas for hours and be perfectly fine!

      It's nowhere near the top of my list of superpowers but I'd never turn one down lol.

      Since my flames create heat without burning any fuel, I'd be a clean unlimited energy source! I could save the world!

       

      And then big oil would probably try to assassinate me, thus starting my villain arc. Sure would be a shame if all their tankers combusted at once...

  2. Every time I get dragged into a real life political conversation I have to cut myself off just before I start using various phrases favored by Terry Davis.

      Just use them anyway, the conversation will be cut off immediately

      It's probably okay to slip in "I like elephants and God likes elephants."

  3. Somedays I feel like changing my research focus to Geometric Function Theory, with a specialization in boundary values of continuous functions.

     

    If you catch my drift.

    1. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Try "Boundary Functions and Sets of Curvilinear Convergence for Continuous Functions."

  5. In isolation DeepL will translate メスガキ as "female brat."

     

    But in the context of longer phrases I've seen it translate it to "little bitch," "meth head," "meshuggah" and in one particularly bizarre instance "anonymous scholarship system for orphans whose parents have been killed in traffic accidents."

     

    Have yet to see it use Pixiv's gloss of "sassy loli" though.

      While investigating this topic I discovered that the "gaki" is apparently written as 餓鬼, i.e. starving demon.  This in turn relates to the "hungry ghosts" or pretas in the six realms of the Buddhist cosmology, which are reincarnations of those with too much gluttonous karma.  It's kind of bizarre that that's the default term for "brat" though I guess historically it developed to specifically refer to a spoiled brat, i.e. one who is so gluttonous as to become a preta in the next life.

  6. MFW I switch my avatar to a furry to try to derail a conversation into further complaints about furries while claiming to want to get it back on track but it doesn't work because I'm posting on a website where everyone is too familiar with my shenanigans.

      I knew it was a 2hoo just because of the hat, so I just thought it was just a regular avatar change.

  9. It's Tuesday night.

    I've got a can of Dr. Pepper in one hand and my flip phone in the other.

    Chicken tendies warming in a microwave I got from a junkyard.

    I'm set to tuturu.

  10. Is it normal for there to be a guy handing out full crates of cookies for free when you leave the grocery store?

     

    And hypothetically speaking if I were to accept such a crate of free cookies, should I be worried about getting poisoned?

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      No, and yes. But free cookies are worth it.

    2. A 1970 Corvette

      A 1970 Corvette

      I get free cookies all the time just visiting web sites so I dunno they're not so valuable they can't be given out for free. Just don't get a virus from them

  11. It's really weird seeing people call him 2ManySnacks.  He'll always be 2Snacks.

     

    What's next, people start talking about that hot new video creator, Cyber's Hell?

    1. Moby

      Its a bizarre case where a creator's alt/scraps channel becomes more popular than his main one.

  12. Isn't "early retirement" basically the same as "coming late to the NEET party"?

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      Technically, yes. But I think NEET has acquired a meaning beyond its literal definition, and that excludes people who've worked for long enough to retire early. They are NEET skinwalkers.

  13. Today marks three years.  Doesn't seem that long ago.

  14. Is a dragon a reptile, or is it really a bird?

     

    Now hear me out: I'm not just saying that because they fly.  A dragon is basically a dinosaur, and dinosaurs are supposedly more closely related to birds, right?  So wouldn't that make a dragon a bird, technically?

    1. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Weeaboo counter argument: Japanese word for Dinosaur is 恐竜 meaning "scary dragon."  Ergo dinosaurs are dragons and thus dragons are dinosaurs.

    2. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      I think we can conclude that Eastern dragons are dinosaurs (birds), while Western dragons are the result of pterosaurs interbreeding with serpents (reptiles).

       

      Let's just ignore the fact that Eastern dragons tend to look way more serpent-like than Western ones.

    3. Expresate

      Apparently modern definitions class birds as reptiles, so... moot point.

      Microsoft Word loves to give me that little red dotted line with a suggestion for "conciseness." Can't they see I'm trying to pad my wordcount here?

      1.) It's so dead on the nose when you see it it really couldn't be an accident.

       

      2.) After digging I found this interview where it is confirmed that it was intentional.

      You clearly haven't seen the Weegee Wiki if you think this is surprising. Besides, cringers in every game OST video on Youtube always comment about how the song is used in their imaginary game, and cringers on Deviantart make up their own cartoons or whatever all the time.

  23. When I go to get a random number, how can I be sure that the CIA didn't replace it to trick me?

    1. Idiot Cube

      Idiot Cube

      Do you honestly believe there can be infinite numbers? Obviously the feds are keeping the biggest number for themselves.

    2. General DeGroot
