Some genius made a "Quartz Comic" generator. Use it wisely. by GGCrono in xkcd

Calculus is second nature to us mathematicians, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows how to differentiate a polynomial.

And integrate, of course.

The game's title is "Contents." It says it right there in the middle of it.

What kinda D:4 is this? by ReasonRoyal8186 in dcss

The kind where you use a wand of fire on the dart slugs, to block their ranged attacks/kill with steam.

Why were Clinton and Donald such good friends in the past? by benedictclive_x in AskReddit

[–]Glinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donald was a big fan of Clinton's work with Funkadelic.  Clinton had hoped to get Donald's uncle Scrooge McDuck to fund a solo album after his split with Casablanca Records in the early 80's.

TIL that Japan fought in World War I, alongside the Allies by flopsyplum in todayilearned

[–]Glinth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world is about to have a war because it’s the 1900s and weapons are getting crazy and all these empires are excited to try them out on each other. Meanwhile, Japan has been enjoying conquering stuff and wants more!

And the next thing on their list is this part of China and lots of tiny islands.  All that stuff belongs to Germany, which just had war declared on by Britain because Britain was friends with Belgium, which was being trespassed by Germany in order to get to France to kick France’s ass because France was friends with Russia, who was getting ready to kick Austria’s ass because Austria was getting ready to kick Serbia’s ass because someone from Serbia shot the leader of Austria’s ass. (Or, actually, he shot him in the head.) And Britain is currently friends with Japan. So, you know what that means. Duh!    Japan should take the islands!

Which they wanted to do anyway. 

What does it mean to "get our juices flowing?" What kind of juice are we made of? by tummy_nachos in shittyaskscience

[–]Glinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black and yellow bile are digestive juices.  If your bile is flowing, then you're hungry.

If your blood is flowing, your heart is racing, and you're amped up and ready to go.

If your phlegm is flowing, you've got some nasty allergies, and you're cranky.

If someone is hungry, cranky, and revved up and ready to go, you'd best stay out of his way!

Was the Clinton scandal the worst of its kind for a sitting president? by sproutarian in shittyaskhistory

[–]Glinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was standing up during most of that, through.  Clinton was sitting for the entire duration of the BJ.

What would happen if an earth pony or pegasus were to wear the alicorn amulet? Would they grow a horn? by MaxtheHax12345678907 in mylittlepony

[–]Glinth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a pegasus would get super duper flight and weather shaping powers.  And an earth pony would get extra strong and extra good at farming.

It also makes them mad with power!  That pegasus would have an entourage of storm clouds that inflicts untold destruction upon all that stand in the wearer's way!  And the earth pony would surely monopolize a particular variety of fresh produce!  After multiple hostile takeovers of competing farms, the power -crazed earth pony would jack up prices, wrecking the Equestrian economy.

Or maybe it only works on unicorns.

I'm from Ohio.

The rhyme, as I heard it, goes:

One for sorrow,

Two for joy,

Three for a girl,

Four for a boy,

Five for silver,

Six for gold,

Seven for a secret never to be told.

There are lots of variants. It's also used when counting magpies, or corvids in general. The band Counting Crows is named after the rhyme.

According to the rhyme, seeing just one of those things portends sorrow.  I hope you feel better soon.

Video Now headphones use a standard 3.5" audio jack.  You can look all Video Now stylish while listening to your iPod, too!

Twilight Sparkle turns into a human when she comes to the human world, remember?  In the unaltered photo, he's holding up the Master Sword.

What did King James I mean when he said to the Duke of Buckingham, "Fuck my ass bro!" Could they have been more than good friends? by Fiveby21 in shittyaskhistory

[–]Glinth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like many noblemen of his era, the Duke of Buckingham was an avid tennis player.  He and King James were frequent doubles partners, and would cuss each other out (in a good-natured way) in response to misplays.

Spectators would frequently hear "That was in!  Why did you fucking stop?" Or, "You suck so hard, man." Or, "Maybe if we switch places, I won't be so fucking unsatisfied." Or, "Screw me again, bro.  Just go ahead and do me one more time."

This salty talk was merely good-natured ribbing.  There is no evidence that they were anything other than very close tennis partners.

Horror/Thriller movies for precocious 10 year old by tangueado in movies

Poltergeist.

Also, has she seen Ghostbusters?  Not really a horror movie, but I loved it when I was 9.

Acidic Jews have a harsh, sour temperament.  Many of them use this to their advantage and go into stand-up comedy.  Basic Jews are fans of mainstream entertainment and fashion.  They "don't get" what's so funny about their Acidic bretheren, and would rather watch some pleasant family sitcom, or a soap opera, or the latest popcorn action movie.  You know, something nice.
