Bottle with the label ripped off. That way, once people are used to it, I can drink used motor oil without all the questions.

Once again, D&D improves society.
- Comment on Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die 4 days ago:
I read an article written by an inmate who explained how they’d form dice out of toilet paper (because dice were banned in his case) to play D&D. I assumed that was the case in most facilities.
- Comment on Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die 4 days ago:
You’re marginally less likely to roll a 7 with a single weighted die.
My reasoning: if you use your weighted die, whoever you’re gambling against might figure it out. Now they’re pissed, they’re gonna give you the beat down. But you’re packing, and OH SHIT YOU DIDN’T MEAN TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD YOU WERE AIMING FOR HIS LEG SHIT SHIT and now you’re serving jail time for manslaughter and dice aren’t allowed in jail, thus you won’t be able to roll any 7s for a while.
- Comment on Are drink coasters for people who frequently spill their drink or have trouble drinking without dribbling down the cup? 4 days ago:
“Listen honey, mommy raised you pretty much on her own because the patriarchy normalized men not contributing to the nurture of their family, and now mommy is one ring stain away from a total mental breakdown complete with arson, okay?”
- Comment on First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land) 1 week ago:
Also, Wave Race 64 (1996) is sort of entirely based on that… but the water physics were pretty cool at the time, and there were even parts where you could take a jump and dive under obstacles.

Morrowind (2002) not only let you swim, there were spells that could extend your breath and let you walk on water.

Smh my head, people will see a guy thriving with his milk bottle caps and claim he’s a barbarian for only having one cloth peg. Let birds enjoy things.

- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
They’re helpful to determine the general community’s take on something, even if there is little other engagement.
And if I’m being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.

You’re damn right I’m okay with it.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can’t set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).
And don’t get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I’d love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

Truly autonomous driving (on general purpose roads) is a lot further off than the hordes of venture capitalists want you to believe. Not sure which state is letting them loose, but I can’t imagine it’ll end well.
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 3 weeks ago:
Ah, then why not throw them with a sling? All the extra leverage with none of the extra weight, and it’s more or less silent. Imagine a barrage of grenades coming in from 200 yards at 60mph.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Donkey Kong 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the water levels in DKC1 are pretty slick as well (Charles Cornell talks about that one too).
- Comment on Let's discuss: Donkey Kong 3 weeks ago:
The DKC series also had some amazing music (especially DKC2). Overall some of my favorite games from my childhood.
Even DK64 was okay for me, though it came out at probably the best time for me to enjoy it (I think I was 11 or 12 and had lots of time to burn).
Here’s a great musical analysis on Stickerbush Symphony, for anyone interested.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to apply Windows Update to all PC software 3 weeks ago:
Well it’s good that they’re building on a platform that has such a good reputation among users. I know I get all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings when I hear the words “Windows Update.”
- Comment on Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving? 3 weeks ago:
People notice things that they are self-conscious about. Not even that they’re necessarily insecure about it, but when you think about something a lot, you tend to notice it in other people as well.
So I’d say it’s because your friends and family think a lot about their own appearances. Likely because they’re insecure about their own appearances.

The brain does what it must to survive. We normalize things that are insane to keep us from going insane. It’s… weird.
