What's your most non-mundane possession?

Jump

  • Nice.

    I just bought a set of weird dice, and they're a bit of a disappointment. Someone made them by carving the right number of facets off a sphere at random and numbering them. They couldn't possibly roll fairly. Not what I expected from the photos.

    • You're alone in Wal-Mart and you have 5 hours to cause the most destruction ever - What do you do?

    Jump

  • Microwave spray cans.

    • Do you ever simply not understand a piece of text no matter how many times you read it despite the fact that you understand the language and individual words?

    Jump

  • Happens to me every time I read an article on quantum physics. Pretty sure the universe is just messing with us at this point.

    And there's a small but significant number of people on the internet who use "can" and "can't" interchangeably.

    • What're your favorite crossover universes?

    Jump

  • Batman and Robin appeared in an episode of Scooby Doo. The episode is considered canonical, meaning the Scooby Doo universe has a rich history of masked criminals, crime fighters and significantly, real monsters.

    There's an unreleased Toho movie where Batman fights Godzilla, too!

    • Do you have kids? Do you want to have kids? Did you regret having / not having kids?

    Jump

  • I always thought I'd make a better uncle than a father. Time has proven me right.

    • Why are all gamblers pieces of shit?

    Jump

  • One of my friends supported himself by playing poker while he was studying. He's a cool guy.

    • What the Fuck happened with Gen X?

    Jump

  • They aren’t as tech savvy as millennials.

    I'm GenX. If you ask my group of friends "who here has built their own PC from components?" every hand is going to go up. Including the teacher, the administrator and the financier.

    Ask a group of Millennials who knows what the command line is for and see what reaction you get.

    GenX is the generation that does tech support for its parents and its children.

    • Is dessert a snack or a meal?

    Jump

  • Because when eating a meal she has a fork in her hand and will stab me with it.

    • Would you trust yourself with infinite wealth?

    Jump

  • No. I believe that adage about absolute power corrupting absolutely. I don't trust myself or any other single person with that kind of money.

    • My Wife's Eye

    Jump

  • I wonder if I could unlock her phone with this?

    • Who left the kitchen lights on?

    Jump

  • Me, probably. I go in thinking "ooh, bit dark in here" and leave thinking "SANDWICH SANDWICH SANDWICH".

    • You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you?

    Jump

  • You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

    • what's your most down voted comment?

    Jump

  • I posted that the new Twitter logo looked like a broken image icon.

    That was a weird week. Every post I had ever made, going back to the day I registered my account, got dozens of downvotes. I figure someone with dozens of accounts used me as a test case for one-man-brigading.

    • If consciousness is being transmitted to our bodies it must be harmful to us which is why we are required to sleep.

    Jump

  • Oh you may think you're thinking, but can you prove you're not a Boltzmann brain?

    • Was Isaac Newton physics jesus?

    Jump

  • The dude contributed greatly to physics, optics and mathematics.

    He also tried to cure the plague with magic frog vomit.

    • What is something the previous owner of your house did that you're grateful for?

    Jump

  • Nothing.

    And that's why we were able to afford it.

    • What's the most effective at waking you up in the morning?

    Jump

  • Reaching the end of the working day in my dreams.

    😟

    • What is a pet peeve that you inadvertently do yourself?

    Jump

  • Me too, but there's also the inevitable silent "you talked over the top of me to the point where I had to do it back to you just to participate in the conversation! Look what you've done!"

    • When or How did you help ease an enemy unto their destruction?

    Jump

  • I don't think many of us are that subtle. Certainly not me.

    • Have you ever figured out someone's kink through the media they create?

    Jump

  • Larry Niven, sci-fi writer. He wrote about an alien species whose females were only as intelligent as animals. Then, in a different story, a second species. Then a third. By that stage I didn't think it was entirely about the worldbuilding anymore.
