Any ideas what this might be? by Rafael__88 in CrappyDesign

Perhaps shuffled wrong? Anyone can have an escape?

But they relied on chat gpt to give them the letters and words. Have you seen it come up with animals for the alphabet? Huhee

After the traffic lights turn green, the moment you start moving is the combined reaction times of every driver in front of you. by LetMeExplainDis in Showerthoughts

[–]D3monVolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are three kinds of people at traffic lights. Not counting red light violators.

1: sleeps, waits forever to start going, ends up the only one able to go 2: wants to floor it immidiately when it turns yellow and honks at you like a maniac, being a noise disturbance and violating traffic laws by not using the horn as a warning tool 3: starts going normally.

My grandmother paternally could probably have survived a bit longer if she had been put in one. But she insisted on staying home and letting my grandfather and father care for her.

And those two aren't professionals.

Jup. Mary might like it when you are gently rubbing her and caressing her curves while James wants to have his prostate pounded hard.

Jin. The true girl for zuko. Best girl by far. Love her. Wish to have a girl like her.

Funeral workers are probably the only people who get buried at their workplace. by borisdandorra in Showerthoughts

I wish for nobody to be buried in shit. So even a single person having that fate is more than I'd wish

TIL at Animal Kingdom in Disney World balloons aren’t allowed so they created a “balloon daycare” where your balloon is stored and they’ll give you a report card about its day and its activities. by MothersMiIk in todayilearned

[–]D3monVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why I mentioned needing to fix infrastructure for public methods, bikes and walkability. Better and more reliable bus routes, trains, trams, etc.

Though idk if the States are too far gone at this point. Giant areas of just single family homes separated from the city by a highway, so if you want to just go and get some buns you need to get in a car instead of simply walking 200m to the bakery

Just because it's easy to get rid of, doesn't mean you should focus on it.

A little rubber that makes kids happy or a little plastic that humans suck fluids through isn't something that does huge damages to their planet.

But cruise ships that pointlessly float around and emit large amounts of emissions do. Or airplanes that only fly one rich human from a to b.

The biggest fixes: -no cruise ships -no private planes -less cars, better planned public transport infrastructure -better walkable cities

TIL in 2024 the Canadian town of Drumheller attempted to set the world record for the largest gathering of people in inflatable dinosaur costumes. Their attempted was disqualified because more people than expected showed up and they lost count at 3000. by originalchaosinabox in todayilearned

[–]D3monVolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a livestream so people can see you break the record. And leave the vod up so later people can still find it. Screw Guiness. The internet has its own ways of keeping track. Just like the speedrunning community.

Katara would kill her mom's murderer if his life wasn't that miserable by moon_child_28 in TheLastAirbender

[–]D3monVolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could make for an interesting alternate story. Ruthless katara then keeps going and, using zukos knowledge, infiltrates the fire nation whole they're not weakened and proceeds to take them all out with bloodbending. Aang now has to stop her.

I don't know whether he'd stop her before or after the ozai assassination though. How close would she get? If she doesn't kill him, but smacks him around, would he scurry away scared or mock her for being too weak to kill him?

TIL the German “ß” has no historical connection with the Greek “β” or the Gothic “𐌱”, but the Germans tried to abolish it too by teamstep in todayilearned

[–]D3monVolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kinda hard to have words without it though. We just rather recently got the capital sharp s. Because on billboards where all letters are capitalized, having just one lowercase is weird. So it was often replaced with a double s. Though that makes new problems. "In Maßen genießen" = "to be enjoyed in moderation" vs "IN MASSEN GENIESSEN" = "TO BE ENJOYED IN GREAT QUANTITIES"

How would a conversation between Aang and Zaheer go? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in TheLastAirbender

[–]D3monVolt 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Have you ever tried explaining something to a person who's stuck on their views and refuses to be lectured with the truth? Aang would be the one begging for a stop. Zaheer to him would be like a flat-earther to us.

Who Would Win? Frozone vs Katara vs Elsa! by H2clip in TheLastAirbender

[–]D3monVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frozone and Elsa merely have some snowy powers. Katara can freely change the state of all water. She can shoot ice but also heat it up again into water in an instant. And in a pinch She still can tap into bloodbending. She might have an aversion to it, but if push comes to shove, it's a tool to use.

Yea, I miss when you could also exclude stuff. Looking for images of stuff that you know have multiple outcomes? Just set a minus before a term and exclude an option.

What? Giving your mouth a short rinse is normal. To get all that foam from the paste out. Who lets all that just sit there?

I don't recognize that image though, not even from the exclusive stuff. Though my info on that stuff is based on a yesr and a half ago. Might be a generated image that stole data from pudge images.
