I think “Meatloaf” is a great name for a chubby guinea pig.

Supposedly, on any of the many occasions when archaeologists have found what is clearly an antique dildo, tradition advised labeling them something like “ceremonial relic.”

I don’t drink coffee and rarely tea, so you won’t get any argument from me.
- Comment on Does the "White Power Ranger" seem like an odd title? 3 days ago:
He was.
I remember only because at the time they were advertising that the green power ranger would be getting a power upgrade and I said to my older brother that I bet he would become the white power ranger (not being aware of the connotations at the time, nor anything else other than the kid’s show).
He said that wasn’t possible. How would they display the trademark white diamonds, he asked? It still boggles my mind that that was his only reasoning.

Spoon or not, I’m told this is a sin.
Perhaps including silver purifies the act.

In Ross’s video, iirc, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.

I don’t know where this building is located, but in the USA, “ground floor” and “first floor” are oft used interchangeably to mean what I’m guessing you would call the ground floor.

Gentlemen, I bring you … corn!
I saw this in an AMV Hell video. I’ve never seen the original context before. I suppose I have now but I consider myself no further enlightened.

I recently visited a phlebotomist who, I noticed halfway through, didn’t use much in the way of protective gear. Afterwards I lamented this fact to a nurse friend of mine, who responded with basically the same statement but replacing “plant” with “patient.”
I’m not sure I’m convinced. Medically, that is. I believe you about the plants.

- Comment on 90s kids get it 2 weeks ago:
I am comprised of 90 some children and also was alive in the 90s, but sheltered. Looking up the quote from the image shows that it’s a lyric from “She Talks to Angels” by The Black Crowes.
I’m not sure about the background image. I think it might be artists who were popular in the 90s, but that’s more than half just guessing.

- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I’d never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it’s the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven’t played it, so I can’t disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

This is especially true with xkcd.
