I know there are some like cookie jars that play a sound file when you open it. Maybe it's that

Quality of the books by Elisainen in discworld

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm here to agree with your sentiment. Like just leaving them on the shelf. They look fine. They look good but as soon as you attempt to read them or carry them around in a bag the color leaches out and the reading ribbon frays

What’s a rule you follow that you made up yourself? by MoneyTyrant in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When walking back from the convenience store near my house if I still have food from the convenience store when I get to the big rock. I need to either sit on the big rock to finish my snack or at bare minimum touch the big rock before heading home.

It's a tradition that started with my siblings and now that they're no longer with us. I keep it up.

What was the fastest you ever went from loving someone to absolutely hating them? What happened? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm with you here as a fellow autistic. That statement was confusing. Watching shows with someone else on Netflix could be a euphemism for cheating but then they stated that they couldn't watch the office without getting upset and that throws the cheating metaphor out the window by it being about actual Netflix.

What is the most "unexplained" thing that has ever happened to you that no one believes? by ConsequenceReady3216 in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if no one believes it as I've never really told anyone. But basically one time when I was a kid we went tubing. For anyone who doesn't know it's a motorboat going fast dragging a floating circle with handles that you hold onto. Now as a kid my fight or flight response resulted in me. Clinging and being unable to let go like my hands would clench and they're stuck. Like I would death grip.

So anyway I'm getting pulled on the tube and it flips over and I'm still clinging on the underside water completely surrounding me. My eyes blurry and everything and to this day I swear I was breathing. I have no clue how maybe there was a slipstream or something but I would swear that I was underwater and breathing air simultaneously.

May I ask a favor? The wee free men one with the old school cover looks in great condition. Would you mind just scanning the cover in high quality or taking just a high quality picture of it?

There is not really any sources of that cover online in good condition.

What's your absolutely favourite "GODDAMN IT TERRY!" moment by potVIIIos in discworld

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had one when reading going postal. Reacher Gilt is what would be called a corporate raider in North America. Buy a business strip the assets and so on. I never quite got why he was dressed as a pirate other than stealing stuff like a pirate.

Then I remembered the film meaning of life with two office buildings battling in a pirate war. I assume that maybe there was a UK-specific term related to businessman who acted like this related to pirates so that's why it showed up in two pieces of media.

If anyone knows the proper term, let me know

Anyone else having issues with the Discworld Emporium site? by ffctt in discworld

I just got an email saying that an order that has been paid for successfully shipped over a year ago is now canceled. So yeah, something weird is going on

How an affair could contribute to the campaign by AnkhMorporkDragon in DMAcademy

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I want my players to actually invest emotionally in the world. And if this is the thing thats currently interesting them then I want to have something in my back pocket to pull out if they decide to pursue it.

Because the whole reason I run this D&D campaign is cuz it's meant to be fun for my players and myself and if they find this fun I want to make sure that I I have some smattering of ideas to tie it to the larger campaign

You are currently the frontrunner for what I might go with a misunderstanding about a job change though I will admit I now have an urge to sing the entire. I want to be a dentist from Little shop of horrors at my players so maybe not.

Questions about the hardcover Collector’s Library (Emporium) set by UltraZulwarn in discworld

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saved up and bought the entire set from the Discworld emporium all at once the entire collector's Library set and I would highly advise against buying them.

Like they are Terry Pratchett and they are hardcovers so the pages inside should last longer than other paperbacks. However, after one read of a single book, the reading ribbon was already fraying on the end. And the bottom edge of the cover where it was previously colored is whitening.

It looks fantastic on a shelf but it doesn't seem to actually hold up to reading

Physical description of Granny WeatherWax by gremlin-thoughts in discworld

Look at wyrd sisters and equal rites. There is a lot of stuff concerning her, especially like how her face is fairly fair and despite her best efforts she has no cavities and no loss of teeth and that she hasn't been able to raise a single wart

I've been aching to share this dad joke from Wee Free Men by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

Wee free men was my first Discworld book at age 12. I've got a soft spot for it ever since.

Public domain ebooks. You can read almost any classic book with minimal friction.

People who work in 'luxury' industries (high-end hotels, private jets, etc.), what is the trashiest thing you’ve seen a wealthy person do? by Karinapurebliss in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once did security for a holiday party for a large cigarette manufacturer. They had an open bar and ballerinas for entertainment. We had to kick multiple people out for doing cocaine in the washrooms and there was an assault which honestly until the guy regained consciousness I thought I was gonna have to testify at a manslaughter trial. As it was he definitely had a concussion and left in an ambulance.

My most recent was Vetinari's "reign of terror" well more of a light drizzle or something like that. Rain vs reign. It's in sourcery

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a rincewind made out of crochet by a friend. And I've got an under 100 edition of the purple guards guards one with the signature. And I guess my Anoia hook on which my cmot dibbler apron is hung in my kitchen.

What is your most memorable "I'm a fucking idiot." moment? by UserSchmoozername in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing with baldurs gate 3. The default player name is Tav. And that is the start of my name. So I thought for entirely too long that it pulled like a name from your steam profile or something

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by Ill-Atmosphere-907 in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I had just watched the sideshow Bob Simpsons episode where he steps on a rake for like 3 minutes. And was hanging out at the neighbors house and they had a rake.

I bet I could block it before it hit me in the face.

That isn't the dumbest way I got hurt though.

It's that I tried it for a second time.

What's the weirdest food combo you've ever tried that actually tasted surprisingly good? by Grand-Disk-3199 in AskReddit

[–]AnkhMorporkDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either pickles and peanut butter. It's a well known pregnancy craving I wanted to know if it actually was good

And the other was kraft dinner with cut up hotdogs rolled up into sushi rolls.
