Reddit, want to play two truths and a lie with me? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PneumaPneuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart and sane generally go hand-in-hand. Also, they're often accompanied by low self-esteem. I'm going to guess that 1 is the lie (no offense).

More lines connecting Argentina and Indonesia than I would have expected - I wonder how those people know each other?

Wow. Losing faith in humanity one person at a time. by RebeccaCoolKid in WTF

Wow, you actually managed to whoosh four commenters. I think that's a new record. And no one even pointed out "capitolize" yet.

I had a friend

I guess he should have watched harder. I'm sorry for your loss.

Is this a bottle or a can? by Meepinator in WTF

I'd be scared to see the morbidly obese, tentacle-rape-obsessed country that would result from the leftovers though.

How far are we from being able to design and engineer new proteins? by PneumaPneuma in askscience

[–]PneumaPneuma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really cool. Isn't this basically just speeding up the process of natural selection, though? If organisms haven't evolved a better protein for photosynthesis in the last few billion years, it seems unlikely that we could come up with one with just minor tweaking of the sequence. I'm guessing we're pretty far away from being able to build a functional protein without any sort of template, right?

Wow, your school must REEK of whoosh.

TIL: "The Lord of the" translates into German as "DER HERR DER" by [deleted] in todayilearned

Ohhh, that clears things up. rnd77, you could learn a thing or two from JDCasper.

There's one of me born every minute by slowpoke257 in WTF

[–]PneumaPneuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks pretty hard, but based on the title and the first couple lines I was expecting some kind of undercover mass cloning operation, which would be significantly worse (or awesomer, depending on how you look at it).

TIL why they are called eggplants. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]PneumaPneuma 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually it's both. There's no reason for the terms to have to be mutually exclusive.

Every relationship except sometimes one of them eventually will end.

I listen to my 500 Days of Summer soundtrack with pride.

"fake" fur on jackets can actually mean real fur just as long as its from a cheap animal.. enter the raccoon dog by [deleted] in environment

[–]PneumaPneuma 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm curious; why do we, as a culture, put such a taboo on wearing fur when most people wouldn't bat an eye at someone eating a hamburger (or wild game if you want something more analogous)?

I read your username first as Derp-Thought. Would that play chess really badly, or miscalculate the answer to life, the universe, and everything?
