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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨His demise is imminent.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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.

• ⁨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:

  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.

  Referring to himself in the plural? Classic monarch gaffe.
