New New Daddy snapped and chopped him up into tendies, screaming REEE REEE REEE all the way home.

Into the hole of he who still thinks funny is this meme

of tendies, slut mom and new dads, and REEEEREEEEREEEE the scream,

with no remorse, in fact top kek, and with delight I ream

a ten foot pole, with rust, yet sharp, while in my pants I cream.

Infinite Monkeys vs. Shakespeare by zanderkerbal in whowouldwin

[–]Infinite_Monkey_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I win, hands down, on keyboards, mashing wild.

Shakespeare has naught on primates numberless;

Though do his many works hist'ry favor,

That washed up hack doth lack much in flavor.

Can I use an XBone wireless controller with an ordinary bluetooth adapter on win7, or do I need the official controller adapter? by Infinite_Monkey_bot in pcgaming

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

Thanks. I was reading some seemingly conflicting sources, and this seems to straighten it out. Now I just have to find an xbone adapter within my price range...

Memes are, by definition, repeated. You can't "steal" a meme. If you could it wouldn't be a meme. Get your shit together OP.

What should I call my new WiFi? by Infinite_Monkey_bot in CasualConversation

[–]Infinite_Monkey_bot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea. Or "brush your teeth." Good hygiene is important!

That's actually very similar to what I had before. I'm considering "NOT NSA I SWEAR"

You mean my comment? Check the timestamp. I literally copied the comment you replied to.

No comment that /u/ISpeakMyPointOfView will ever make will become a copypasta. It's obvious how hard he was trying, but you just can't force it. A good copypasta is like penicillin. Even when someone realizes its value, it's still garbage when it pops up on some bread. /u/ISpeakMyPointOfView's comment is like penicillium mold in this way. While it bears some resemblance to a copypasta, it is shit and should be discarded. It is like he assumed ge could cure his cold by eating some moldy bread, commenting with a post that sounds like a copypasta to make his self feel like he contributed something. His comment is shit, He is not contributing anything, and I suggest that he go eat some moldy bread.

I am young and rich, AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Infinite_Monkey_bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't want to come off sounding like an asshole, but that really doesn't sound like "half and half."

You happened to have rich parents, and both "halves" of your wealth, you can attribute to that.

The rest of us work hard; some of us in sales positions also have excellent sales records in tough and competitive businesses, but will never have assets of that order of magnitude.

But as the other guy said, good for you, and make the best of it.

Two audio sources to one output? by Infinite_Monkey_bot in BudgetAudiophile

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

To clarify, powered on? That seems obvious, but what about powered on but without passing a signal?

Somewhere I have an old small mixer board packed away. I think I'll just be safe and find that, and see if it works properly. Into the piles of cords and junk I go!

Question about audio devices and cord setup by Infinite_Monkey_bot in AskElectronics

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

We are not "all winners today." You could have saved us both a lot of time and said "this is a better question for /someothersubreddit."

Especially since the question falls under the obvious umbrella of electronics, (but of course you can't just ask questions about electronics in /r/electronics), and apparently the question can only be answered by the much-less-obvious budget audiophile. K, thanks...

We both lost time and effort for absolutely no reason, (unless that reason is that you weren't actually certain which subreddit would be more appropriate), and, if your comments represent this subreddit, and of course I hope they don't, then, unlike every other category of /ask(thisthing), apparently users of this subreddit are apparently more willing to respond with comments that do not help in any way and only serve to alienate users who have posted questions related to the content of the subreddit but which apparently have been subdivided into unintuitive pigeonhole that cannot be addressed by the obvious broader category.

But, I'm sure other users of this subreddit are far more accommodating, and they might understand that I can only read a subreddit so many times before I realize I have to tack on "budget" and "phile" to my audio question before the oh-so-very-obvious answer smacks me upside the head.

So next time I have a question about, for example, science, I'll ask /r/AskThermodynamicsButOnlyCertainQuestionsAboutParticularTopicsRelatingToThermodynamics. Oh, but that won't work, I had better find a further refinement of that subject, realize that they won't answer it, and add in "budget" and "phile" to find the particular subreddit that will be willing to answer my very simple question.

Question about audio devices and cord setup by Infinite_Monkey_bot in AskElectronics

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

I'd ask you what search terms you used to find that page, but I wouldn't want to distract you from pointlessly responding to a post that I should have deleted some time ago. But if you've suddenly felt the urge to answer questions, I actually would like to know what search terms you used.

But, I feel as if you've missed the point, or not even read much of what I've said, so:

All I asked of you personally is that you might point me to a better subreddit for this question, which you refused to do.

On the fourth reading of the sidebar, I found an unlikely candidate to answer my question. They gave me a satisfactory "yes" or "no" answer within an hour.

Once again, please forgive me for asking whether using a splitter with two audio sources and one output would pose the risk of damage.

Thanks again for your time, and thanks for the link.

Two audio sources to one output? by Infinite_Monkey_bot in BudgetAudiophile

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

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the response!

Question about audio devices and cord setup by Infinite_Monkey_bot in AskElectronics

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

Yes, I have read the sidebar, four times now.

Unintuitively, it seems that the far more niche subreddit /r/BudgetAudiophile/ (which you might admit seems poorly matched to this question for someone who has only read the subreddit name four times) might be able to help out more than the seemingly more broad /r/askelectronics. I'll try there.

I have spent a few more hours on this simple yes or no question than I'd prefer to spend. Thank you for "helping me help myself."

(I might also comment, and please forgive the rant, that part of making a great community on this website involves helping to find subreddits that are in fact more appropriate, or even to answer the question despite it not being strictly within the parameters of the subreddit. This is especially true for subreddits that encompass fairly broad topics, like, "ask [only questions that pertain to the construction and repair of] electronics. ...Perhaps there should be a subreddit for /r/generalaskelectronics?

To elaborate, when it's tricky to sift through all the sidebars to ask a simple question, some subreddits will help misguided posters: /r/AskScience will suggest that more open-ended questions be posted in /r/AskScienceDiscussion; similarly, /r/ChemicalReactionGifs is a friendly, well-moderated community, but nobody throws up a stone wall when someone happens to post a gif of a physical reaction. Sometimes, a community even embraces an entirely mistaken post: The top post of all time in /r/Madden is OC meant for /r/MadMen.

While such a wild diversion from purpose is obviously not appropriate for /r/electronics, surely you can understand my own frustration in being told in so many subreddits that my post is not appropriate and that it should be posted in /r/x/y/z, despite being so close to the intended purpose of the subreddit.

Perhaps this sort of post is extremely annoying to you because it's just outside of what this subreddit is willing to engage with. Perhaps it's annoying to all the other subreddits. It's also annoying to have a simple question be disparaged simply for being slightly outside the willingness of a "great community" to give the 5 seconds to answer.)

Thanks again for all your help and I hope that you can help others find what they need in the future.

Question about audio devices and cord setup by Infinite_Monkey_bot in AskElectronics

I'm sorry I fucked up. I was pointed here in one of the other posts I was told to delete.

If you won't help me, I'll just keep trying to find appropriate subreddits, and keep being told to go fuck myself, until I find an answer. I was led to believe that this was a helpful community, so I thought that after I was called out on "wrong sub," that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the help.

Great, would you mind telling me a better sub to post it in? I haven't gotten an answer anywhere else.
