  • I think they want fewer brambles, because blackberries are neither the most-voluminous nor the most-annoying part of the bush.

  • I know that I'm obviously missing that "8-Ball" is a drug reference to something, but I choose to believe that this person walked up to your table, offered to sell you acid, and basically said "if you get 15 tabs, I'll throw in this resin billiard ball for free.", pulled out an actual 8-ball, and slammed it down on the table, with a look on their face like they had just made the most compelling argument possible.

  • I feel like the thing we are all missing is this: what on earth is the writer of the second note doing in a classroom where the kids have to have the ABCs plastered on the wall?

  • Be very careful with "let's bar all felons from office", because then, all one would have to do is Trump up charges against their political rivals (something made far easier when the entire justice department is at your beck and call).

  • Royal Institution

    Faraday's lab was at the RI.

  • Definitely read the book. The book is about the existential elation at discovering a solution to a dire problem, so knowing a poorly-communicated version of every solution will likely ruin the book for anyone serious about the hard Sci-Fi.

  • Yeah, I thought it was "Shoulder of Pork and Ham"

  • I came here to say almost precisely this. Thank you

  • You know shit's fucked when The King In Yellow, the very manifestation of the idea that knowledge can kill, is having to defend the value of education.

    Every day we stray further from god toward lost Carcosa

  • If you didn't have plate tectonics, you'd have a lot of problems with the atmosphere, and there's a decent chance that life wouldn't evolve, as the energy differentials generated by tectonic activity are those which life hangs onto, from nutrients, to oxidation, to geothermal heat.

  • Sounds like you would enjoy either "The Hungry Gods" or "Children of Strife" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. If you choose to read Children of strife, you really need to read the first three Children of Time books first, though.

  • Yeah, it would have been more mythologically accurate to say that Gemini is produced by a company that's constantly trying to drag you down into hell.

  • True, though any engineer capable of the delicate manufacture of a positronic brain should be a master of cable management.

  • Are you sure that his bodily systems aren't heat-sunk with water as a coolant?

  • Is that from the graphic novel? David looks different than in the animated series here.

  • And Prussian blue!

  • I would point out that they also have long asses.

  • Have you listened to the magnus archives yet?

    E: you'd think that, after typing "magnus" at least 300 times, my phone wouldn't autocorrect "magnus" to "major", and yet, it did.

  • Yeah, it's not as clear here that the entire joke relies on these being written out. I personally think this whole joke would actually work best as a person passing notes during a test and trying to cheat THAT way.
