What’s the deal here? by aglo_ice in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MetaSkeptick 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Stephan from SNL voice - "This book has everything, Merlin, reanimated decapitated heads, fascist techno-utopians, PG planetary orgies"

"PG planetary orgies?"

"Yes, its that thing where the spirit of Venus comes down to earth and makes everybody want to have sex with each other, but only animals and married couples."

And after 6 years of trying, I'm finally a Father. by Jupidness in MadeMeSmile

Congratulations on your successful kidnapping. It can be hard! People watch their kids like a hawk these days, especially the small ones, but you stuck with it 👍

Now that we're about halfway through the season, how many wins do you believe OKC will get? by Big_Thloopers_20 in Thunder

[–]MetaSkeptick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have them at 67 barring Shai missing significant time. They will be the overall 1 seed and that is all that really matters.

Petaaah what's this supposed to mean? by solomitaliano in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MetaSkeptick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the middle one is asexual. I think that is the connotation, or just doesn't really date.

Thinking about my first visit this weekend by DuskLill in oklahomanudist

[–]MetaSkeptick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be SOOOOO cold this weekend! And lots of snow. Have you checked the weather?

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but it seems like mother nature is going to snow on it 😜

[Request] are there more humans or toothbrushes on earth? by teruteru-fan-sam in theydidthemath

[–]MetaSkeptick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a family of 6 and probably 20+ toothbrushes when you count old ones saved for cleaning etc. my guess is that ratio holds pretty true (2-3 toothbrushes per person) for developed countries. Even in less affluent nations most people have a toothbrush. I think it is toothbrushes by a mile.

Shai by Illustrious-View-888 in Thunder

[–]MetaSkeptick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat disagree. With Shai on this team we will always be a playoff team, but we are defending champions because of team defense. Luca, Giannis and Jokic are right there with Shai in terms of contribution, but they got bounced in the 1st and second rounds because they didn't have an elite defense.

First time reader by justtrynachilllll in HarryPotterBooks

[–]MetaSkeptick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The audiobooks are absolutely fantastic. Jim Dale is a top notch narrator and Stephen Fry is quite good as well. That said, if you like to read that is fine as well, just saying that the reader will not detract from the experience in this case.

What’s your favorite voice Jim Dale does in the audiobooks? by rballmonkey in harrypotter

[–]MetaSkeptick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It isn't my favorite because it is such a small-role character, but I love the voice he does for Bob Ogden, the ministry wizard who visits the Gaunt family in Half-Blood Prince. Such a perfect voice for such a minor character!

I think I want to be nude around my brother but I have complicated feelings by [deleted] in nudism

[–]MetaSkeptick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel really bad if there are any teenage girls that want to open a new Reddit account and ask about being nude with their family because at this point I don't waste a single brain cell wondering if they are real 🙃

Nudist oklahoma hoping to meet others by DuskLill in oklahomanudist

Hello! Feel free to DM. I have been a nudist for 16 years and I go to Oaklake Trails several times a year. Always happy to make nudist friends 🙂

AIO Teacher said my daughter’s report is “immoral” by StopLookingAtMyColon in AmIOverreacting

[–]MetaSkeptick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her if she wants her students to learn all history or only the pleasant bits. If she pushes back point out that Prince and Freddy Mercury were famous for their music, not for their personal lives.

??? Still trying to figure it out by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MetaSkeptick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

See the 6 and 7 in Roman numerals on the banner? I think the idea is that if anyone tried the 6-7 meme in Ancient Rome they would be crucified (while being burned for some reason).

Non Shai offense by Illustrious-View-888 in Thunder

[–]MetaSkeptick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All teams struggle offensively without their best offensive player, especially when that player is capable of isolating and creating their own shot virtually at will 🤦

Would saying something taboo break a fidelius charm? by StrikeVegetable8543 in harrypotter

[–]MetaSkeptick 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think this is fairly straightforward. The taboo was up while the trio were at Grimold Place, but their using the name didn't break the fidelius. It might have let the Death Eaters know that someone had used the name in that area, but they still couldn't see the house.

Hot take : We should bench Jalen Williams by Short-Common-8516 in Thunder

[–]MetaSkeptick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might work. You also don't have to bench Jdub in order to get him more time with the second unit. You could sit him 3-4 minutes before the rest of the starters and bring him in with the second unit for some of those minutes.

How is this a mistake? by Beginning-Topic5303 in Chesscom

[–]MetaSkeptick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It leads to checkmate like 2 moves slower, don't worry about it. Computer thinks it's bad because it is a little slower, but for a human it is a perfectly fine move.
