This works for all numbers ending in 9:

*taps head* Can’t have cancer if you’re fossilized.

There’s also the nocebo meme, where you show someone a regular meme and tell them it’s a shitpost.

As someone who is from Or*n, rofl. My parents even have a story about their dog from when I was a baby freaking out about a banana slug while we were camping.

Also thunder and lightning really ought to count as seeing and hearing electricity.
Hell, seeing anything at all may technically count, because electromagnetic waves.

It’s amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

I wouldn’t mind some Spelljammer also.
Give us all the weird settings!

Oh. I thought they were saying they’re good a drawing curly brackets.
Which, those are some nice curly brackets.
- Comment on fun facts about pi 1 month ago:
You could calculate the spherical volume of the entire universe with the first 39 digits of pi.
What a weird thing to say. You can calculate any spherical volume with any approximation of pi.
I think they cut a clause like “to within the volume of a hydrogen atom” but without that it’s vacuous.

I forget what this is from, but:

how do you think they hunted bears?
I’m a little surprised by the crossbows. My guess would have been rifles.

It’s not a cliffhanger. I say go ahead and finish it.
- Comment on mentally unbalanced behaviour 4 months ago:
Why did you build a death ray?
To take over the world.
No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?
Look, I’m just trying to take over the world. That’s all.
You’re at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?
Sad fact: most “mad scientists” are actually mad engineers.

- Comment on ‘The Witcher’ & ‘Wheel Of Time’ Producers Partner On ‘Otherland’ TV Adaptation Based On Tad Williams Books Series 4 months ago:
I expect they will 100% change !Xabbu’s name to something without a click. And I’ll eat my hat if they actually actually do the Heart of Darkness boat ride through fascist Oz thing.
That said, I’m not convinced that a good adaptation is even possible no matter who produces it. Certainly not live action; maybe as an animated series.
