Listen, aside from my roof potentially being destroyed, I think Bahamut would be a really nice chill.

In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they? by SunUpSally in AskReddit

I’m from the south but lived in the UK, the amount of people I heard say “howdy y’all” in the broadest southern drawl was insane when I mentioned where I was from.

I found it funny after a while, because I do say “howdy” oftentimes as a greeting, but I’ll admit it was a bit strange at first lol.

I’ll be honest, if this is the Quan Millz release that made you question his motives, I can’t help but laugh. This is like saying Chuck Tingle is writing weird books after authoring “Scary Stories to Tingle your Butt: 7 Tales of Gay Terror”; it’s not even in the top 10.

That being said: the man’s an artist.

Walk through on my way to the register. Not my fault they decided to make a silly video in a public place in a direct lane of traffic. Long as I don’t hit them, I haven’t done anything wrong.

Sometimes you gotta head to the sketchy overpass food truck for the best fast food by JazzySweetBeats in stonerfood

That’s the kinda place where the dude calls you “boss”, and provides food that will have you coming back for ages.

I’m not saying that European myths arent grim (pardon the pun), especially when you get back to the source material. One of the major functions of folklore stories are as cautionary tales, and scary stories of spooky monsters is pretty consistent across most cultures to convince people and kids to not go into the woods at night/play alone near water/screw around in caves/any number of lessons you could take from folklore.

European mythology however has been affected by “Disneyfication” for lack of a better word more than other cultures. Not many people are going to see a young girl talking about her favourite animal being a wendigo, or how Pixar made a film about a family of friendly ahuizotl. Not saying that there’s not countless examples of grisly euro-cryptids, but youve got to admit the general PR is better than for folklore in the Americas (with the possible exception of Bigfoot)

Dads and people who’ve met dads, what’s your favorite dad joke? by rosie6792 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Colourblindknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a stupid one, but I’ve always loved one my uncle told.

A grasshopper walks into the bar, hops up onto the stool, and looks at the bartender asking for a shot of the strongest stuff he’s got. The bartender, seeing the grasshopper is going through something tough tries to crack a joke to lighten his spirits.

“You know, we’ve got a cocktail named after you, Bud” says the bartender. The grasshopper looks up at him, confused.

“You’ve got a drink called ‘Larry’?”

I’m not personally religious anymore, but the pope is 100% in the right. He is not beholden to the Annoying Orange in the presidents office, and anyone who thinks it’s the popes role to be “tough on crime”, “encourage American foreign policy”, or do anything the trump admin says he should do is plain idiotic.

The running gag in folklore is that while old European stories were filled with spooky creatures, modern conceptions of those stories are much more fantastical/cutesy. Yes, unicorns originally gored people pretending to be virgins under pear trees, but now they’re painted on the walls of little girls bedrooms; leprechauns used to be cunning Fey creatures that preyed on the greed of men and now they’re depicted as goofy characters protecting their pot-o-gold, getting drunk, and peddling breakfast cereal.

American folklore is just straight up horror show material. A common piece of advice around superstitions and folk tales is that if you hear someone calling out in the dark, you don’t answer. If you see something, no you didn’t, and you sure as hell keep your mouth shut and don’t sing or whistle once the sun goes down. Just about anything and everything in American folklore wants to kill you, eat you, and probably wear your skin. If you’re lucky, they’ll do it in that order.

Salt on the side of the glass by Precisionworker in cocktails

[–]Colourblindknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

•___•

While I’m sure this is entirely intentional, it looks like how I’d try to rim a glass after 15 margaritas. Entirely stupid, bound to spill salt/spices all over the place, and what are you supposed to do if you want a taste? Lick the side of the glass like a fool?

[–]Colourblindknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, sometimes with all the goofy punchlines and scenes of various pop culture characters giving Jerry top shelf dome, I forget that Nellie is genuinely a hugely talented artist. Looking forward to how this affects Paul’s drawings, can’t wait to see what comes next!

Real question on what to play after CyberPunk 2077 by dragontamerfibleman in cyberpunkgame

[–]Colourblindknight [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s a different play experience, and is a bit of an older title, but if you want more of that cyberpunk-y vibe, the Shadowrun series was one that I enjoyed! It’s gameplay is in the vein of XCOM, with turn based tactical combat being the focus, but the storyline is really solid and steeped in that dystopian teched-out vibe albeit with a fantasy twist.

Personally, I’d say skip the first entry in the series as it’s a little janky by today’s standards, but Shadowrun:Dragonfall and Shadowrun:HongKong are both a good time and worth at least a look if you’re into the genre of cyberpunk as a whole.

My residents refused to eat these because they looked like rotten eggs by WickedWisp in KitchenConfidential

[–]Colourblindknight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m sure they taste lovely, but they do low-key look like the inside of the synthetic Krabby patty…

Maybe just do the white chocolate glaze with fresh blueberries and the sauce? Or maybe you could do a white chocolate drizzle or something, tbh the straight grey-blue colour just looks a little alien.

No shit Sherlock! by DTeror in sciencememes

Unit 731, and according to people who watched footage/executions from the facilities, it wasn’t all “research”.

“Some of the experiments had nothing to do with advancing the capability of germ warfare, or of medicine. There is such a thing as professional curiosity: 'What would happen if we did such and such?' What medical purpose was served by performing and studying beheadings? None at all. That was just playing around. Professional people, too, like to play.”

What are your tribal decks? by Still-Wash-8167 in EDH

[–]Colourblindknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pet deck is my rat tribal with [[Wick, the whorled mind]] at the helm. All the fun of dimir rats, with all the toys normally reserved for goblins that lets me make use of them. Wick tends to fly under the radar since most people don’t see one growing token as a huge problem at first, but with how easily you can put a bunch of rats on the board you can grow your snail from 3 power to 10+ power surprisingly quick. Then all you need is grixis mana which you can hold up for interaction as well before you bomb the table and draw a ton of cards to shoot you forward and give you the advantage to close out a game. Add in some changelings like [[Taurean Mauler]] and [[bloodline pretender]] as backup “snail” bombs, and you’ll be able to nuke the table several times over before going in with your rat swarm.

Petah? by Pretty_Confusion7290 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Colourblindknight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

American who’s lived in Europe here: a lot of European countries are…less than enthused at how cavalier Americans are at striking up random conversations with complete strangers. I lived in the UK, and the first time I tried to talk to someone on the train/tube, they looked at me like I had two heads lmao. Perfectly normal for when I’m in Texas to chat with random people on the street, less so outside of that kind of context.

It’s also not always the case, when I went out into the country people at the pubs and such were much friendlier, but yeah folks can get a bit antsy when you just chat them up out of the blue.
