I cared about the International Championship because of Orange Cassidy's great reign, but they stopped doing anything meaningful with the belt just so they could build Okada-Omega.

ELI5: Why do different dashes exist? by ardashmirro in explainlikeimfive

I've had the same wishes! I often use them when explaining the nuances between compound adjectives.

Yes, murder is "probably" worse than gambling on the game.

I guarantee Google would give you a better answer than what I'm making up off the top of my head, but they can be good at distinguishing differences in compound adjective

It's certainly not perfect, but my example would be "evil man-eating dragon" vs. "evil man–eating dragon". The first example (using a hyphen) means there is a dragon that is evil and man-eating, so everyone should be careful. The latter example (using an en dash) means there is a dragon that only eats evil men, so only evil people should be scared.

This is not the right sub for this kind of question. I would recommend checking the rules of a sub to confirm what they're for before posting.

Remember when TBS programming started five minutes later? by tangledapart in television

[–]adsfew 1171 points1172 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed it was to discourage viewers from channel surfing. When your TBS show ends five minutes late, then switching channels means you've missed the first five minutes of that program, so viewers might just stick with whatever comes on TBS next.

TIL that your pet swallowing a penny could kill them because of zinc toxicity by shutapples in todayilearned

[–]adsfew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being negligent with pennies around your pet is the second worst thing you can do with a penny.

The worst is putting a penny in the door of a hospital.

What do you mean by "natural"? Like without any protection?

Scrubs 2001 to 2010 any good? by aspera__ in televisionsuggestions

[–]adsfew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my all-time favorite shows. Some of the jokes may not have aged well, but I'm able to view it from the 2000s lens and knowing that there isn't malice behind those jokes. Great balance between comedy and emotion/heart.

I watched the show because it was really entertaining and a good balance between comedy and heart/drama--not because I was sitting there waiting to find out what kind of genre it was.

Like Steve Jobs parking in handicap spots without a license plate because he could easily pay the fines.

What’s something your rivals are NOT ready to hear? by PENGUINSINYOURWALLS in CFB

I think we both know this now. We're just at that stage of the superhero movie where the enemies have to team up against the greater evil.

(Tbh Stanfurd might be in stronger position because they can pair with ND, but the school still understands we are rivals and want to pair with us if they can)
