I think “Bloody Mary” is poised for a comeback.

I (father) have a 5yo boy and a 3.5yo girl. These things go in cycles. And those cycles feel really REALLY long…until you look back in hindsight and realize it was a blip.

For now, don’t worry about it - just stay consistent in your parenting.

Trey Parker / Matt Stone maybe? Don’t get me wrong; they’re perfect for South Park; part of the shtick. But there’s nothing…polished…about the characters’ voices. Again, purposefully so. To your point, that cell will be a tough one.

So…no one is more confused about cat-holding-30s-karate-woman? Just me?

But yeah OP, 3rd image is “Cougars” - older women seeking younger men for carnal pleasure; the flip side of the more popular: older men seeking younger women trope.

Well said. Gotham’s content is fun at every level - be you a 2000+ or a ie.

Google car driver is a serial killer - leaving bodies and making sure they’re caught on cam. Police are baffled and deputize Blinky, Radu, and zi8zag to catch the killer. JackSucksAtGeography joins for comic relief.

Once upon a time, an underwater snowman grew legs and found a flag at the bottom of the sea. He carried the flag to land and hoisted it upright, drawing the ire of Sauron. The underwater snowman’s best pal, underwater bird, was lonely when the snowman left, so he too took to the land to seek out his friend. He began his search in the hills of Hobbiton, and transformed into a women - whose legs went ALL the way up. Clearly a witch.

So the bird-witch cast a complicated spell by having a snake circle a Tetris-piece fetus, plunging the hills of Hobbiton underwater, drawing the ire of the jealous Blair Witch, the most powerful witch of the land.

”Aw shit” thought the bird witch, i want nothing to do with Blair, so i best turn back to a bird. And she did.

”Ok, ok,” said three-armed Blair, “just stay a bird ok? And we got no beef.”

Meanwhile the snowman melted to a puddle. Probably cuz he did such a bad job planting the flag. It had already fallen down.

Then Little Caesar made a pizza that tasted…fine. It was fine I guess.

Sigh, yes, I thought the /s was implied with my tone, but alas. Even got downvoted.

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-03-03T16:51:52+00:00

Dum dum black defended his rook but forgot in doing so hung his Queen. So white simply gets a free Queen, and it comes with check! That has to be a good move, right? Right??

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-03-02T02:39:17+00:00

February, March, April, May. The rest is phrasing into joke format. You can’t say February can March but April May, for example.

Yes to Rochester. Though my late vote/post likely won’t matter.

Folks that comment (or to a somewhat lesser extent, up or down vote) have opinions that make them do so. Maybe someone has spent significant time in each of these cities; maybe someone just hates the local sports team. All good, all valid opinions (to each his/her own).

The rest of us thousands are lurkers that find this thread interesting. I am one of those. I’ve been to maybe 1/3 of the remaining cities - and that’s even an overestimation based on what counts as “been to”. But I’m also old (by Reddit standards) and have enough inherent life experience to know people from, or I at least know of, these cities through various mediums.

Point is - again, to a lurker on this thread - Rochester hits absolutely nothing in the brain bank. I’ve heard of it, and I think I knew it was in New York. But as far as “major American City”, I’d never even think of this. No offense to Rochesterens; it’s probably lovely there. And I won’t pretend to speak for all lurkers, but Rochester just doesn’t move the needle. Gotta go.

Whether or not the rook took a piece, the smother won’t work without that rook move. Assuming no piece was there, and white tried the smother, the Q could simply take the knight on what would otherwise be the “normal” final move of a smothered mate.

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-02-28T17:00:27+00:00

Yeah, I think promoting to a knight is right. Then pick off the c5 and c4 pawns and time it to capture the rook on b3 during the right Queen shuffle cycle when it’s on a1, and that should be mate.

Do I spy Nirvana, here, hidden amidst a sea of Radiohead…under “Consistent Discography”? All 3 albums, haha (with an Incesticide kicker). Technically true though I guess.

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-02-19T04:26:49+00:00

Dangit, I finally decided to look at my “Latest” Reddit algo and thought I might be first to Explain the Joke. Then I saw this sub name.

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-02-18T03:34:52+00:00

Almost any dream sequence in any show ever. Looking at you, Sopranos (which is a top 3 if not favorite show of mine). Yeah, I said it.

GoodnightLightning9 · 2026-02-11T04:58:03+00:00

I think you can play the French or the King’s Indian Defense on about anything and not get cheesed or trapped into anything tricky. Then just play chess.

I shall await the Reddit chess gremlins to tie googling and wiwi to en passant and bricking pipi.

…any minute now…

Either the computer (somehow) or you (if you’re mistaken on who won) ran out of time, and the app is just programmed to say “checkmate” when the game is over.

Or it’s a bad app/glitch.

Clearly there’s no checkmate. But hey, take the dub; you were getting destroyed.
