  • TIL what an Ortholinear Keyboard is

    Jump

  • Is that your own layout, or is it a scheme like QWERTY or DVORAK that I haven't heard about?

  • How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

    Jump

  • The oldest building in this city is a two-room (originally) cottage that dates back to 1841. It's not the first permanent structure built here, but it's the oldest still standing.

  • Do you even care about climate change?

    Jump

  • The average adult skull has a capacity of around 1.2 litres, or five regular cups of coffee. Our buddy with the axe there should think about getting his insulated and capped. Even if he's not carrying around his whole day's supply, it's gonna get cold fast.

  • When is the last time you witnessed a real life situation where you were like "Wait, what? No."

    Jump

  • “the police have no duty to protect you.”

    I think it may be time to re-think how you do your nation-state-ing.

  • All this time we've been keeping our true power hidden.

    Also, if you mention Zealandia in New Zealand, people will look at you blankly and say "The bird sanctuary?"

  • The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it?

    Jump

  • It was a panama hat woven from bamboo fibre that I bought at a fair to keep from getting sunburned.

  • That d100 has weird markings.

  • Could it be because fandom is made up of fans, the most argumentative people to exist?

    Edit: after reading some of the other comments, that may not be it.

  • Could you mean the book by Homer the poet, The Odyssey?

  • "I'm afraid your secretary has already been promised to Queen Arachnia as a Supreme Sacrifice." - Chaotica

    Jump

  • I'd like to be known on IMDB as 'Pinecone-fucker Steve', with no explanation.

  • Chief O'Brien at Work #20 - Training Day

    Jump

  • I like these comics, but man - I can't read more than one at a time or my whole day's ruined.

  • Pockets 👀

    Jump

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?

    Jump

  • We never actually find out what happens in it, though.

  • TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females

    Jump

  • My wife (presenting me with three identical carpet samples): "Do you like grey with a hint of blue, grey with a hint of pink or grey with a hint of yellow?"

    Me: "Trick question?"

  • Kirk makes a good point.

    Jump

  • Maybe I'm explaining myself badly. I agree with you, it's literally the point. But the characters aren't supposed to lampshade it. The viewer is meant to get it on their own.

  • Kirk makes a good point.

    Jump

  • The mirror is also an allegory.

    You can't mix allegories. It's like crossing proton pack streams.

    Whether righteous or unwarranted, hate is hate. And acting in hate is just that, acting in hate, no matter your reason.

    I know. I WATCHED THE EPISODE.

  • Kirk makes a good point.

    Jump

  • Kirk is applying common sense to an allegory made to illustrate a point. Bad writer. No cookie.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam

    Jump

  • That first thing.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam

    Jump

  • I've tried it and I didn't love it or hate it. It was just... on my plate. Like the unsalted mashed potatoes of the meat world.

    Canned corned beef, on the other hand - I'd probably eat it every week if it wasn't so fatty.
