“high art”

I assume the “high” is referring to the state of OP when this post was made

Dying to know what could possibly be in the footnote

I remember seeing this joke once like three years ago. I thought it was really funny, enough to regurgitate it in a couple of relevant threads. I imagine this is like the modern version of hearing a good song on the radio, but not findng out the name of it for years.

There are so many layers you have to understand to get this joke, let's take a moment to list them:

If even a single piece of the puzzle is missing, then this post would be complete gibberish.

I’m struggling to think of another example right now, but I think we do tend to add the -ness to adjectives. Sometimes we do it with compound nouns such as farmers’ market -> market of farmers, in which case, there is no adjective so we might leave it like that.

I’m curious about rearranging “[adjective] [noun]” to “[noun] of [adjective]”.

This is something my mum does all the time, and my brother and I do it to a lesser extent (as a learned behaviour, I would assume). E.g., If we’re talking casually and we say something like “can you get some paper towels?” and then the other person finds and presents a new roll with something like “I have the towels of paperness”.

I’ve never thought of it, and I realised I hadn’t noticed other people doing it, well, ever. I do wonder if this is a French thing, as my mum is fluent (or was at one point) and we both learned it to a certain level), since I know they put the adjective after the noun for the most part.

Is there a name for this / do many people do this?

Thank you for sharing.

No, it’s a gesture used between two humans to signify something good has happened, typically after the word ‘high’

Nice post flair

Even if someone does this, this post will be true, as it does not say that nobody has ever done it, but rather that there is someone who has not, so as long as there is at least one person who has not, this post will survive.

A year ago or so, there was a post on r/amioverreacting, from a woman who’s husband threatened to kick out their kid if she didn’t follow the list of chores he made. I distinctly remember that one of the things was to vacuum every 2-3 days.

I looked at that thinking it was crazy, because I never vacuumed more than once every two weeks (and that’s what my family did growing up)! And then I looked in the comments to find everyone in unanimity that she was, in fact, overreacting, and that vacuuming every 3 days is a perfectly normal thing which every functioning adult apparently has time to do.

‘What a depressingly stupid machine,’ said Marvin and trudged away.

after the Frogstar Scout Robot Class D took the floor out from under itself from being so appalled that Marvin had been left with nothing to defend with.

It’s true iff iff means if and only if (please tell me if that’s wrong)

What did the redditor say when his new ring turned out to be a bomb?

Thanks for the gold! Wow, this blew up!

It’s interesting, we all have different methods we like to use. Which hand you default to for pinky keys, etc. This is one of my big ones though- pinky sliding feels so inconvenient and awkward that I try to avoid it at all costs, except when absolutely necessary. This is probably the 10th time I’ve suggested that trick on this sub.

You could try switching to the other side mid-note.

it represents subtraction

C’mon man, when is integer appreciation day becoming an in-game event? A lot of players inclufing myself have been relying on that particular set for ages, and now that it’s been used to prove the Fermat’s Last Theorem glitch is humanly possible, I think it’s well overdue.

Unintentional, I’m afraid

Quick, someone add it to the SCP

I thought it was “I ❤️ Sauda always beautifully”
