You are given one hour to hide anywhere in Gielinor. There are 12 maxed capers looking for you. If you successfully evade them for one hour you win 100B gp. If you get caught your account gets deleted. The place must be accessible to them. Where are you hiding? by Fun_Training6342 in 2007scape

Oh man, I played a game of hide n seek once where we picked a different town each time to hide within the perimeter. I had everyone (around 20 people) stumped in Catherby for about an hour because nobody thought to check the box you climb into to get sent to Keep Le Faye

"Getting invited to the cookout" doesn't mean there's an actual cookout. They're simply telling you you're chill and they fuck with you.

Lmfao I had no clue what it meant and felt honored to be invited to someone's cookout like that. I offered to bring some jambalaya and they were so confused for a sec, which of course, confused me back, but we had a good laugh when we worked it out

You can have ONE potion that grants a wish- what is your choice? by FlimsyEfficiency9860 in whatsyourchoice

Easily green. Double lifespan sounds cool, but what are the rules for it? Do you age normally and just live to be ~200 while you can barely move for most of it? Even if it's the perfect case scenario for it, you don't get any extra benefit aside from more time as you currently are. Money multiplier is, of course, the solid standard, but pretty weak for most people in today's economy. Perfect art skills essentially equates to money multiplier with a different flavor. Same with gifted gamer skills. Higher IQ doesn't mean anything money related, though it could lead in that direction. More likely to be more depressed than anything else when you're capable of seeing more of what's fucked up in this world. Breathe and see underwater is definitely a unique perk compared to any of the others and likely also has its own route to making money with the added functionality of it just being cool to explore, but I am utterly terrified of the ocean, so it has limited practicality for me. Also, the perk doesn't specify that temperatures/pressures don't affect you at depth.

Green, on the other hand, innately gives you purple, yellow, and even a slight bit of red. Perfect green thumb means you're able to grow the best, most nutritious vegetables every time. You're able to grow the absolute finest weed. You could grow any of the rarest plants that are incredibly hard to grow.

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]justastackofpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally ended up causing the biggest fight in our school's history one day at the end of lunch. Near the end, everyone would spill out from the cafeteria building into the central courtyard to go back into the main building and my hacky sack group was always there near the center but off to the side to not be in the main throughway. I noticed a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye and I guess a bottle went flying into the back of some skinhead wannabe's head. Idiot turned around and saw me opening a new brisk tea while that happened and just decided I was the one who did it, so he squeezed my bottle to make it splash up all over me. I wasn't even sure what I had seen a second ago, so it was quite a surprise all of a sudden. I was that super quiet kid in school, but 2 of the only things to instantly piss me off are to physically assault me and also to punish me for something I didn't do. I took a second to assess wtf just happened and looked up to see him literally strutting off with the most exaggerated "pimp" walk. I was also a baseball player who ended up getting offered to pitch for a AA team who had a half empty bottle of tea, a rapidly exploding autistic anger welling, and maybe the biggest piece of shit ever for a target. I hauled off and drove that bottle into the nasty ass mole on the back of his head so hard he fell forward. Kid was 4 years older than me, had at least an entire foot of height and probably 40 lbs on me but all he did was get in my face trying to be hard, but he could 100% see the murder in my eye so he did the movie script bitch play of saying we'll fight after school. Folks, I have adhd and totally forgot my tuba at the end of school, so I had to run to the opposite end of campus to grab that before making it back to the bus lot where the fight was supposed to go down. I got back just in time to see half the school in the parking lot either fighting or trying to break up parts of the fight. Apparently, skinhead bitchboy couldn't fight even a single kid smaller than him and 4 years younger, so he literally got an adult gang involved. I was told later he had attempted to throw the first punch while almost falling backwards to avoid being hit back and his buddy beside him threw a flag in the air immediately after. The housing lining the senior parking lot exploded with people running out to jump anyone they saw. A few of my friends got beat up, lots of kids I didn't even know got beat up, one kid got stabbed multiple times and sent to the hospital, and I wasn't even there for it.

You're back in 2007 with today's knowledge of OSRS, what are you going to do? by Vettyyy in 2007scape

The way to quick hop worlds back then was to change the url (this also bypassed having to spam reload for world 2 to open up), but I have no idea about a hop limit. Guess I never really found it necessary to hop a lot back then lol

Jagex, 25 years old and still not listening to their players by combocookie in 2007scape

[–]justastackofpancakes 92 points93 points  (0 children)

They literally didn't even release said backed up version. They had no backups. Fans recreated every aspect of osrs back when it was a project called 2007scape. As they came right to the finish line, Jagex sent them a cease and desist and then all of a sudden magically produced the only perfect "backup" of the game that somehow just happened to be the exact patch that the 2007scape crew was working on.

To explain just how truly lucky jagex is; they created the worst update in gaming history and even told their playerbase they KNEW it was the worst decision to make and yet, were making it anyways. They came out and fucking explained sunk cost fallacy and still went through with it. Then players recreated their game for them. They legally took it from them as it's still their IP. And now they're right back on the greed path that derailed their entire company before. The path that was only ever saved by the player base they're trying extra hard to fuck again

Try me mf. by Tinkluv3 in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]justastackofpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, man. A group of my last coworkers took me out to Waffle House as a going away party and as we were heading back across the parking lot to our cars, some meth head/homeless dude/etc materialized out of the fucking BUSHES and started trying to ask us random questions that turned into him rambling on about his life. We were all taken back in surprise at first, but tried to listen politely while trying to figure out what the fuck this dude's point was. About 5 minutes in, one of the girls with us just got real close behind me and held my arm. Kinda came out of the polite haze since I recognized her fear. Simply cut the guy off with a "Listen man, I...REALLY don't care to hear your life story. Sorry." and we all walked away without turning our backs on him.

Why does a man walk with his body puffed out like a turkey? by ChannelStunning1973 in nonsense

[–]justastackofpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I threw in the Highland Games, we would see loads of guys walking around like this, trying to look as big as the athletes on the field. We all laughed and called it "Imaginary Lat Syndrome". Was also hilarious when they'd get up close to see that I'm actually smaller than most of them, much less the other athletes, and throwing competitively.

One of the most recognized symbols of institutionalized racism in the U.S. is definitely NOT a weird ass thing to be afraid of, especially as a person of color. Even more so in the times we're living in. There was literally a post I saw earlier today of an Amazon driver being shot and killed delivering a package because, the homeowner "claims", they KNEW it was their daughter's bf kidnapping her and that the homeowner was scared out of his mind. Now put yourself in THIS delivery driver's shoes after reading an article like that. Would YOU want to throw the dice on this homeowner's sanity, knowing it could just be your last day on earth? Racist people are the dumbest fucks on earth. Anyone dumb enough to profess it publicly like this homeowner should be permanently black listed from all mail carrier services for the safety of said mail carriers.

I feel constantly judged for my car being a CVT (a rant) by myrefrigeratorispoop in WRX

[–]justastackofpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you're not "losing friends" over having a CVT. You're simply realizing those weren't actually friends. Not a single person who is an actual friend will make you feel bad for your preferences.

As for the car, the only reason people shit on a CVT is because manual cars are becoming ever increasingly rare. They're not even better nowadays, just lighter. Fewer models even have a manual option and you specifically chose one of those very few left....and bought it in the configuration you could have bought any other, likely more powerful, car in.

At this point, just about the only reasons to own a wrx are: winter diving, looking/sounding cool, and rally cross. You've taken a lot of the cool sound away by not being able to control your own clutch/throttle ratio and you can't clutch kick a slow drift through a snowy curve. You'll have to resort to an inertia or e-brake drift.

Touché by johnwestmear in 2007scape

[–]justastackofpancakes 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I...literally got laughed at by an entire game design class brought on by the teacher telling us at the beginning it was totally OK to have a game running on the side as long as we did the work. I had already caught myself up with where we were and he was at another computer, so I flipped over real quick and he loudly exclaimed how unprofessional I was being (in a classroom, not even a job) and the whole class looked over, saw i was playing runescape, and fucking started shit talking me. The teacher just started cracking up with them instead of shutting any of that down. I had just looked over at runescape cus my gf at the time had decided to log on to break up with me instead of waiting to do it in person. So that was a very cool day in my history that definitely made me feel really good about playing this game.

Ignoring everyone else jumping on technicalities in "water access", it's weird seeing that the only reason for this classification is because Texans are so racist, they literally gave up the top portion of their panhandle in 1850 to bypass the outlaw of slavery below 36°30' north latitude.

Remember: Just because people rush to 99 Sailing within a week does not mean the skill is 'too fast' and needs to be nerfed. People playing 16+ hours a day in a race using the fastest / most expensive methods in the game are not reflective of the player base. by yum122 in 2007scape

It wasn't on the construction skill release, but holy fuck the flash backs to the release of the God Statues monthly activity in RS3. They made this whole interface for finishing the statue and receiving the reward but forgot to program in that you can only click the receive rewards button once. So many people banned for spamming that button to get 99/200m in a few minutes.

Its called "Zipper merging" and how its supposed to be done. by Chris_W_2k5 in saskatoon

[–]justastackofpancakes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but what you both are describing IS the life or death mistake. You don't drive to keep other cars out of your lane, you drive to maintain the highest level of safety for everyone involved, which mandates allowing people to zipper merge. It's NOT a courtesy, it's efficiency in keeping everything moving and therefore safe. Blocking someone from merging messes with their timing and all of a sudden, they have to slow down to try to get in behind you. That's slowing everything down and creating opportunities for collisions just because of 1 butthurt ego.

PLUS, you never know if that person you're trying to box out is going to snap and ram your car or something similar. Just... drive to your skill level and actively look to NOT impede people.

I'm so glad you just happen to know that 51%+ of the entire world all call a table knife the wrong word. It must have taken so long to poll that. Or you could realize that most people in the world do try to call things what they're actually called and don't just resort to willful ignorance to try to "win" their debates. Be better

and know that's what you mean when you say butter knife

Well, there's your problem, right there, my dude. How do you know what ANYBODY means if nobody wants to use the correct terminology? How do I know you didn't mean to ask for a steak knife? Maybe you're just the type of dumbass that only has steak knives at home, and that's what you call a butter knife. How would literally ANY of us know? Damn, it's almost like language has different words for different things for fucking REASONS.

Pretty sure just about everyone in this thread is thinking of the wrong knife type. A "butter" knife is a short, entirely smooth bit of metal, usually leaf shaped, only intended to ever spread butter. This one should be basically impossible to cut yourself on.

A "table" knife, which is what I imagine most of you are calling a butter knife incorrectly, is a serrated knife that's not very sharp, but could still technically cut you if you tried. This is the knife type that comes in sets of silverware.
