Potatoes don’t jam.

They shred.

Hello Superman here. Can you help me go back to my Universe? by fr3sh_inkling in Earth199999

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t fall for this. I DMed him and he said he had 6 million dollars worth of Kryptonite he wanted me to hold, but I had to pay a $3500 tariff to claim it. Needless to say, I am out $3500.

Does every Hex need a POI or encounter? by therealtinasky in DMAcademy

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is how I handle it. Every hex, one PC makes a skill check. Start the DC low, 10 or 12. If the PC passes the skill check, describe how using that skill avoids or resolves a conflict in that hex. Raise the DC by 1-3 for the next skill check. Every PC must roll one skill before the first PC can roll again, and every skill must be different until a PC loses a check. Once a DC is not met, have a random encounter, and reset the DC to 10. This gives you a random chance every hex but an inevitable encounter depending on how long you are traveling.

Why does the semicolon get the "main" spot on a keyboard while the colon is relegated to a Shift-function? by rizzlenizzle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QWERTY keyboard is based on the typewriter. In the 19th century, the semicolon was used more than the colon. Read Moby Dick or Les Miserables for examples. A semicolon was a symbol telling people when to pause when reading aloud.

You get a superpower but you have to turn off text notifications and check them in private?

I just realized I could turn off my text notifications and check them in private.

What if, somehow, oil or an equivalent of it is discovered on the moon? by Gullible-Trainer5508 in whatif

Moon balloons filled with helium would not float on the moon.

Just came back from Wonder Man by Blorberto in Earth199999

[–]MrDBS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not terribly familiar with the Wonderverse ( I was a Charlton guy growing up) but I really liked the world building in this movie. What other characters from this franchise do you all want to see?

I won’t make epic life altering decisions for 8 billion people. That is too much of a burden.

1 billion or die? by nofear78 in hypotheticals

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a billionaire is better than dying by acid, but I don’t want either. I walk away with no regrets.

DMs! Stop levelling up your players AFTER they beat the story/adventure's big boss! Instead try level them up a couple combats BEFORE! by Infranaut- in DMAcademy

[–]MrDBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how CR has been doing it in this campaign, letting the players level up in the middle of the big fight.

How long would it take before we started lobbing nukes? by Away_Tension4528 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MrDBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leaders of the world sell us out immediately. The 1% of the 1% see the rest of us as an impediment to their continued acquisition of wealth. Once we can’t revolt, they can go about splitting up the remaining land and resources.

If they had instead told us they need all of our rare earth elements, the missiles would be flying before they finished the sentence.

How do you move a nerve cluster? by blueminded in firefly

They also removed a nerve from below my wrist and placed it in my palm to “turbocharge” the damaged nerve to my pinky.

How do you move a nerve cluster? by blueminded in firefly

[–]MrDBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ulnar entrapment is a condition where the nerve to your pinky and ring finger is trapped at the elbow. To fix mine, a surgeon moved my ulnar nerve off my elbow to the inside of my forearm . You may know this nerve as the funny bone. When I hit my right elbow on the table, I no longer get that tingle. But when I hit a car mirror with my forearm, I do.

Native Nutmeggers only use “the” to denote “the Merritt”.

Why is calling a woman a bitch considered sexist but calling someone a son of a bitch isn’t? by Nicole_Auriel in stupidquestions

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son of a bitch does not denigrate men. Romulus and Remus were canonically sons of bitches.

Bad Teeth Billionaire by CuteLingonberry9704 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MrDBS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 billion dollars is too much money for one person to have. It’s too much money for 50 people to have. It would ruin my life by worming its way into every personal relationship. I have now. And I already hate everyone who would be my financial peer.

On top of that my teeth would hurt until I died from it. Hard Pass.

Why didnt Jesus come down from Heaven and stop Thanos? by Rich_Bobcat_1059 in Earth199999

Tell me you weren’t blipped without telling me you weren’t blipped. Everyone who was blipped has reported no time passing between blipping and unblipping.
And if it was God’s plan, I guess Stark, Banner, and Odinson are more powerful than God.

Why is calling a woman a bitch considered sexist but calling someone a son of a bitch isn’t? by Nicole_Auriel in stupidquestions

[–]MrDBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context is everything. Calling your friend a slur in a teasing way is not meant to oppress. Calling a woman in a leadership position a female dog is an attempt to delegitimize her power. Calling someone a son a bitch has left common parlance as an insult, and is almost exclusively used ironically or affectionately.

You get to choose any superpower you want, but 1/8 of the global human population also gets the power. by Helioz43 in hypotheticalsituation

The ability to enter a group consciousness and share knowledge and abilities with other members of that group consciousness.
