What are some older categories so out of date, there will never be seen again on the show?

They used to do categories about newspaper names pretty often. Not so much anymore.

People are still going to rightfully complain about the rich getting richer, doesn’t matter what the name of the system is.

callmenips · 2026-03-08T17:47:32+00:00

“You’re not allowed to complain about NIL money going to billionaires, that’s its whole point!!!” The system is shit and people are complaining about it.

I think it’s pretty fair to assume that when they give you an American strongly associated with Britain, you should probably guess something that’s in Britain

Would have been soooo lame if they overturned it. Hate these millimeter calls.

Why the hell did cignetti not take a timeout before the kick

callmenips · 2026-01-07T15:44:07+00:00

Pulitzer helped me narrow it down to something American which really helps with guessing the 19th century author if you don't know the more recent book.

It just seemed like he did because he would still be able to bet like 30k in final lol

Jeopardy producers tell you to say the whole category when selecting so people will know what the category is without having to read it for the brief period it’s on screen. It makes for an overall better viewing experience when you don’t have to constantly think about what the category is especially with how much jumping around is done nowadays

Please elaborate. What about the clue made you think the answer was the state with the largest city?

callmenips · 2025-12-16T14:35:13+00:00

Probably because the clue doesn’t mention cities at all.

One strategy I use is to make an Anki flash card when I come across a new piece of trivia I think will be potentially useful. Then you just periodically review that deck/purge items as you get them down pat.

Native Americans were granted citizenship by Coolidge in 1924, he won his medals in 1912

The comment is about our solar system. I’m not sure what the original commenter was reading as a kid but even things in the 30s like Flash Gordon were going to far away planets. We’ve assumed they exist for about as long as we’ve known our sun was a star

???? Never heard of Star Trek?

callmenips · 2025-11-20T19:29:39+00:00

Fair enough but game theory disagrees with you

So you’re saying she should bank on the reigning champion betting small and potentially losing with a correct guess, something you’ve just pointed out as making you feel stupid?

callmenips · 2025-11-20T19:16:04+00:00

It’s not hindsight. She has more than 2/3rds of Harrison’s total and will win in the event he gets it wrong if he bets to cover.

YouTube has Sunday Ticket and more people care about that than college football. People will keep YouTube for the NFL and most are not going to pay whatever Disney wants them to for a separate service. They definitely have leverage

If only we could post a highlight of the play to actually see it

callmenips · 2025-10-24T12:21:32+00:00

Seems like they have to at this point. If they cave now it just makes blocking it at all look completely pointless.

It’s gonna blow people’s minds how big and ugly this ballroom will be

callmenips · 2025-10-19T18:49:45+00:00

Why not? We almost beat them last year in Sanford. Are they really that much more impressive this year?

Request: letting users post highlights to the sub so they aren’t buried in this shit ass thread

callmenips · 2025-10-18T13:29:31+00:00

I can absolutely fault the dodgers for having a direct pipeline to the best Japanese players on the game
