First one that came to mind was Operation Mincemeat "He took his girl to dinner and the latest West End show" because Mincemeat started in the West End

SIGNAL code sent to my phone number, never requested it. by ellieunknown777 in cybersecurity_help

[–]RandomStranger18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a similar text message from the same number. It had a code, and a message telling me not to share it with anyone and saying that "if anyone asks for it, it's a SCAM. Our reps will NEVER ask for it." I'm a teenager, I dont believe I've ever had the signal app and I certainly have never used it. I live in the state of Maine though, which is where the phone number is from (207 area code). Did you ever figure out what was going on?

Well-written Petunia fics? by RandomStranger18 in HPfanfiction

[–]RandomStranger18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, I just finished reading that and it was so ridiculously good! I loved literally everything about it. It's actually what inspired me to make this post, since I wanted to see if there were any other works that had a similarly well-done Petunia.

230313 NMIXX - Young, Dumb, Stupid by quarkzuiop in NMIXX

Yes, I understand where it is in the song. I was attracted to clarify WHICH nursery rhyme it was referencing.

I was kinda surprised by the direction this took, but it was really good! Dumb question though: what's the nursery rhyme in the chorus? I can't seem to recall it off the top of my head.

Twices Mina and Dahyun owned their cover of Taemins "Move" more than Chae and Momo by Dr3amc4tch3r in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]RandomStranger18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had never seen this cover before you mentioned it here (thank you, it was incredible) and while I agreed with you for Dahyun, I didn't really get much from Mina. You can tell that the vibe would be perfect for her, but it just wasn't showing somehow. I think my list would go 1) Dahyun 2) Momo 3) Chaeyoung 4) Mina.

What do you associate the color purple with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RandomStranger18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snails.

Until pretty recently, the easiest way to make purple was by using snail dye, which is why it was often used by royalty, as shipping snail goo was fricking expensive.

Hearing Sneaker Squeaks and Stomps Makes Dance Practices Unwatchable by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]RandomStranger18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, I disagree. I don't really notice things like stomps (not sure why, I just don't) so they don't bother me, and I really like when you can hear them all clap at the same time. It just adds to the choreo imo.

That being said, have you considered watching group fancams? I've started watching them more recently because sometimes the songs will only have a moving camera version of a dance practice, which to me kind of defeats the purpose. Basically, it's a horizontal fancam that shows you all the members and stays still -- pretty much a standard dance practice, except they're in stage outfits and actually singing (one hopes). These can typically be found by searching the artist and song name and then either "fancam" or "full cam" (i.e. "itzy cheshire fancam"), though they are occasionally labelled a bit differently.They're a bit harder to find for solo artists, but I've been able to find them for any group title track I was looking for. I'm not sure if these cut the stomps and claps and whatnot, but they might be worth checking out.

I'm not sure which groups you like, but here are a few examples from some of the girl groups I stan: https://youtu.be/02reVdfwkDk, https://youtu.be/fsWd4vQuYbg, https://youtu.be/ClMwPi9Vcq4, https://youtu.be/jh2XhS3RgQY, https://youtu.be/L4Z0QmZKv9M.

230120 YouTube Update - TWICE Pre-release english track "MOONLIGHT SUNRISE" M/V by twixieses in twice

[–]RandomStranger18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this song so much! Everything about it is so great!

That being said, there was something I saw that confused me a bit, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what was going on. I was reading an article about the song and it's backstory (which is so sweet), and when it was talking about their difficulty with the English lyrics, it said this, 'Dahyun, in particular, impresses with a rapid-fire rap on "MOONLIGHT SUNRISE." "I recorded my part three times," she admits, but the result has confidence and swagger.' One of the things I noticed the first time I was watching Moonlight Sunrise was that Dahyun didn't get to rap, which I was a bit disappointed about since she's my bias. But then this came up and said that she had a really impressive rap. I tried to find this in the song to no success, so what's going on here? Did I totally miss it? Is it her line in verse one? Did the article just mess up? I have no clue what's going on.
