But wasn’t that true before Collective Shite decided to piss on everyone else’s day?

At least it didn’t start with “Nobody:” I think we’re heading in the right direction.

Yeah but a mushroom’s such a fungi to be with.
- Comment on My first colonoscopy 4 days ago:
Would an AI have made this on its own though, or might someone have typed “Lego set My first colonoscopy [etc]” into an image generator? If the latter you can still laugh with the person that had the original idea even if they didn’t draw it themselves.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 1 week ago:
Oof, I thought it was only constipated mathematicians that had to work it out with a pencil.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 1 week ago:
They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.
The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.
- Comment on USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 2 weeks ago:
Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94
Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.
- Comment on How do body organs work in males? 2 weeks ago:
Someone should post this in ADHD Memes with the text “I’ve got ADHD and these organs therefore having ADHD is a pre-requisite to having these organs” and see if anyone notices.
- Comment on Anon describes experience 2 weeks ago:
That’s just bad teaching. If you’re not allowed to use negatives then the teacher shouldn’t be asking questions where negatives are the answer. 20-25 is NOT equal to zero whether you’ve learnt negatives or not.
- Comment on Seriously, you're probably dehydrated 2 weeks ago:
I don’t recommend it. I tried increasing my electrolytic capacity once and found some little pills that seemed ideal. I had to eat a lot of them because they were only labelled “microfood” or something like that.
The hospital staff were all very unprofessional. They all giggled when they discharged me.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 3 weeks ago:
Civilised countries like the UK and other European countries. Technically it’s not free because it’s paid for by taxation, but it’s free at the point of use: if I go and see a doctor, I don’t get billed, but I do pay 9% National Insurance tax.
- Comment on Time to redraw America's borders in a way that finally makes sense. 3 weeks ago:
Americans are so dumb when it comes to timezones we could just assign Maintana to GMT+5, Washconsin GMT+6 and so on downwards. It wouldn’t make any difference to them and it’d be a lot more fun for the rest of us.
True story: “The meeting is at 1500 EDT”. “Your state is currently on EST so if I turn up at the specified time I’ll be an hour late. Are you sure it’s 1500 EDT and not 1500 EST?” “Yes, definitely 1500 EDT”. /me turns up at 1500 EDT to find the meeting has already finished.
I misread IDOTA as IDIOTA.

I’d be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Simple. We let them get away with it. Compare:
“Your PC is out of date” “Don’t be stupid, it’s only 2 years old and still works fine” with
“Your phone is out of date” “OK I’ll buy a new one”.
There needs to be a lot more of Answer A to Statement B.
