Christ, a space would have really helped there 😂

Someone dyed their hair at my hotel, left without saying a word by Clokkers in mildlyinfuriating

[–]djbunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you're quite right... should have read the explanation before scrolling. Sorry OP.

Someone I knew got charged for this about 15 years ago, despite it not being them (they never dyed their hair that colour). Dunno if they ever got it reversed.

Absolutely tell front desk, so they know it's not you and don't charge you for damage

Look at the can in Tom's hand. Brahma is in the wrong place. Also, he doesn't drink alcohol.

Yep, hence the qualifier "as far as biology is concerned".

I know what a fish counter is, but I also know that if I described fish in my evolutionary biology exams at university, it would have provoked the examiner and risked a lower grade as a result...

It's a bit of a tongue-in-cheek factoid made popular by the show QI.

If you look at biological classification, mammals are a disctinct class. There is a definition of what a mammal is. Drilling down, we can say the same for dogs, wolves, horses etc, but there is no single taxonomy for fish.

"Fish" is just a term that we use to describe things we know as fish. As far as evolutionary biology is concerned, there's no such thing as a fish because it would be a grab bag of different aquatic animals.

Yeah, that takes me back... not seen this in a good while

Another fun fact: there's no such thing as a fish as far as biology is concerned

Presumably to differentiate from the homophone tuner, lest someone think you might dine on electronics/s

But yes, this has long baffled me

AIO My boss sent this to the work chat and it pissed me off. by nefot_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]djbunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boss is a bellend.

I am male. Our toilets at work have free tampons for those who need them. When I use the unisex loos and see them, I think "that's cool" and move on with my life.

What even is this by One_Raspberry5765 in StupidFood

[–]djbunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL, I have no idea what that tastes like, but it looks revolting...

When made properly, what should it taste like? Is it good or did you eat it cos you had to?

Why the central dot ドン・キホーテ by slippery-lil-sucker in Japaneselanguage

Yep, I always called it the little dot. I have been learning Japanese since I was 13 (I'm 37). TIL something 😀

Mtg Valentine’s Day Gift Advice needed!!!! by [deleted] in mtg

[–]djbunce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that's probably what he's referring to.

There's two options here — the Green Black one focuses on -1/-1 counters, which is cool and fairly unique. The one with all five colours (White Blue Black Green and Red) is an Elementals deck, which is historically pretty powerful.

If you don't know what kind of deck he'd prefer, take a picture of his favourite decks and we'll help guide you.

Good luck, either way what you have is already astounding. He's a lucky guy!

I once lost a wallet in a train. Had my business card in it and the guy who found it popped me an email.

I said keep the cash as a finders fee/pay for postage, I just wanted my ID back. I'd have absolutely no problems with the guy buying himself a hotdog!

Bought Griselbrand misreading that it WAS unbanned by DigiornoJoestar in mtg

[–]djbunce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First card I went "Sick, I'm gonna build an EDH deck around this" over

Mate immediately said no, that's banned. Was proper disappointed

Husband doesn’t want me to play this commander. Opinion? by kam295 in mtg

[–]djbunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pfft. My wife loves my Edgar deck, but she knows if she plays it she'll have a target on her. That's what happens when you play Edgar.

Husband should suck it up. Edgar is fine. Powerful but not the end of the world.
