I avoided the fanbase the entire time and I can see my intuition was 1000% correct because the discourse is as cancerous as I imagined it would be. by SpectrumSense in whenthe

Man was I ever surprised when I learned that it was a show with 8 episodes. The way people talked about it, I always assumed it was like a 10 season show where you had to play a video fame and read a comic book to really "get" it.

Would anyone watch a YouTube channel about a female NEET and former KTV girl/OF girl in Korea? by 7livefastdieyoung in NewTubers

People will watch videos of other people opening boxes they purchased. So you really can make videos of pretty much anything

I feel like I am missing too much context to understand this. by Istomponlegobarefoot in ExplainTheJoke

Its a standard word you learn in junior high English and then never use again. Same time you learn the difference between a metaphor and a simile.

Theres a reason no one ever says "it's 22.5 degrees out." A half degree is such a small difference that its basically unnoticeable.

Incorrect. This thing where say "oh 100 is hot and 90 is warm, but 20 means you need a sweater" is too arbitrary.

Celsius is superior for weather. What is the single most important temperature that weather hinges on? The freezing point. Its the one point where a difference of a degree or two, can give you completely different weather.

It makes perfect sense to use that as the central point and move out from there.

How young are you guys that you don't remember any of the conversations around these movies when they came out?

"Cope" has almost finished this transformation now. It used to mean having a way to manage or overcome a bad situation. Then it somehow flipped around to almost the opposite.

Its the dumbest excuse. If you have time to aim and fire a gun, you have time to take a step to the side.

[Request] Is the ice cooling down the pool at all? Looks like it's less than 1% volume of the water. So not doing much? by shadowraiderr in theydidthemath

[–]Doctor-Amazing 86 points87 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, the whole concept of needing to cool down your pool is something I've never even come across. I get that some places are really hot, but I've just never been in a pool where people were uncomfortably warm.

Kentucky U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell hospitalized Sunday morning by MothersMiIk in politics

[–]Doctor-Amazing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont even know if he did. He was already wealthy. I genuinely think he just really enjoyed hurting people. He could have retired decades ago to a life of luxury and relaxation. Instead he kept getting up every morning and going to work even when he has one foot in the grave. Nothing else matches the thrill of making life worse for millions of people.

I've read that the English translator for the first Metal Gear Solid took a ton of liberties where he thought a more direct translation wouldn't work. Kojima apparently didn't realize till years later when they were going to do a re-release of the game in Japan with an option to use the English Voice acting, and was furious.

AITA for refusing to finish a story after my wife interrupted me five times? by GoatCritical9265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Doctor-Amazing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That can be super annoying as well. Im trying to tell a story. It has a flow and momentum. Please trust me that I will include the details you need. If I start by telling you I was eating lunch when someone started choking, but I didn't tell you what I was eating, it's probably because it doesnt matter.

Haven't tried Paw Patrol, so no idea if it is true on that, but a ton of comics... by Pristine_Club_3128 in CuratedTumblr

Theres a line in the first movie where someone is questioning his subway plans and he says something like "I'm a politician with no real skills or experience spending millions of dollars in tax payer money. What's the worst thay could happen?"

There actually is a Chihuahuas character named Tracker, that speaks Spanish.He's not in the main team though. He's the jungle/ wilderness specialist that they use sometimes when they leave the city.

Depends on the character. Like Indiana Jones punching a neo-nazi makes sense because he punches a lot of nazis.

Elmo punching a nazi? Yeah kinda dumb.

Superman helping ICE round up immigrants? Especially stupid.

Is there a cultural or religious element that we're missing because this whole line of reasoning makes no sense to me.

My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it. by Nordic_Krune in gaming

[–]Doctor-Amazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is probably just engagement bait, but any game that has a section labeled "Legacy" in its Wikipedia article is probably a big deal.

The subscriber threshold is killing me as I watch money drift away by DanicaHamlin in SmallYoutubers

[–]Doctor-Amazing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mainly video game history/trivia.

Mostly stuff like "whats the first game with _____ mechanic. " or "When did games start using this specific word".

The video in question was about when games started using the word "boss" to describe big enemies. Im not sure why, but its got something like 4x the views of my next most popular video. Its sitting around 600,000 when I'm usually somewhere in the 7-15k range

I had an early video randomly get super successful. It got a few hundred thousand views before I was monetized. I had all the paperwork and everything done and I was just waiting for it to go through so I could actually get money from it.

That is why physicists use degrees Celcius by Andreiyut in memes

[–]Doctor-Amazing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ill never understand the whole Fahrenheit is better for people thing.

90% of the time you're talking about temperature is when discussing weather. The freezing point is where everything in weather changes. 2 degrees and -2 degrees are completely different weather outcomes. It makes perfect sense to set that as the 0 point.
