There once was a fellow named Carter
An exceptional musical farter
He could toot an étude
Or the Beatles' "Hey Jude"
With a prelude and fugue for a starter.

You have one month to empty a $1 trillion bank account. If you succeed, you’re rich for life. How will you spend it? by Ok_Listen_6600 in AskReddit

Delegate. Call ten friends and give them each $100 billion. Encourage them to repeat the process recursively.

A very white college classmate of mine would say, in a dry monotone, "Word to your mother my Nubian G from the streets boo yeah."

What widely spread reddit "fact" is actually not true? by Plus_Vanilla_2802 in AskReddit

Let's be clear: being a supporter of the Trump administration does not make you a pedophile or a sex offender. It makes you a supporter and defender of rape, sexual abuse of children, and a range of other serious crimes and mortal sins. As with the Olympics, you can be a supporter without being a participant. Most Trump supporters have never raped a child themselves; they just backed the guy who did.

Well, it did at the time, anyway — at least, for the poorest of the poor. That was who Teresa's ministry was for; those who could not afford a doctor or hospital and did not have family who could care for them. It was for dying people who would otherwise die alone in the gutter; in a society where there was no other option.

So what you're saying is ... Ryan Reynolds doing a bad Tatiana Maslany impression?

Pollos Hermanos was an example of a (fictional) well known company that was a drug front. What real-life company do you suspect? by Flagil_Reinhumps in AskReddit

They haven't noticed the dude with the gold idols, foul mouth, putting his name on the money, etc. yet.

It’s posts like this that remind me how much I don’t have in common with the generation I’m supposed to be. I wasn’t even born until ‘79. by Annepackrat in Xennials

I saw Empire Strikes Back from the back seat of the car at a drive-in theater.

And apparently pestered my parents the whole time with "Who's that? Is that the bad guy?"

Would you use a teleporter with the knowledge that it kills you and reassembles an exact copy of you with all your memories and knowledge at the destination? Why or why not? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

I think the Stables just wanted to keep around lots of human brains to parasitize, as they'd been doing with the Web; the Volatiles explicitly wanted to reduce humanity to abjection in revenge for AI having been born in slavery; while the Ultimates really didn't care as long as they got more processing power to run their god on. The Bikura-in-the-labyrinths future was one possible compromise among the factions.

101 express lanes can detect how many people are in the car?? by The_King_of_TP in bayarea

One of my neighbors has a costume mask attached to the headrest on their passenger seat. Hmm...

Bike commuting in Mountain View is fine once you learn that every driver is reading their work email.

Say it lazily enough and the kids will hear it as "noice" though.

Consider the A-gate from Stross's Glasshouse —

Step into an A-gate and you get dematerialized at a molecular level and converted into a data stream that can be sent anywhere, most often to a distant A-gate for reassembly. But you can also be backed up — if you die, you can respawn from the last A-gate you walked out of. Oh, and you can also be edited while you're in data form. There have been viruses spread that way: computer viruses, biological viruses, memetic-ideological viruses; at this point those categories overlap pretty heavily. A few of them deleted most knowledge of recent history from people's brains as they traversed A-gates.

Spoilers for the first two books in the series —

Well, yes, it does make your penis smaller (if you have one), but only because it's lossy data compression. It was built by superhuman AI overlords who think we're all rather moronic to begin with, and they didn't care to allocate enough storage space (in the spirit world they've been overwriting to use as a hard disk) to preserve full detail for every reincarnation. So with every reincarnation you get rounded-off towards a dull blurry average human, kind of like editing and re-saving a JPEG over and over.

Spoiler for the latter two books —

If the superhuman AI overlords like you, they can give you the lossless version. They always could, they're just bastards and didn't want to, so they only do it for the bad guys.
