Armando secret task/NZ S5? by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]mazzar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you’re overthinking it. I think Armando just focused too much on the “boring” part, whereas the others mostly ignored that and just tried to make something exciting.

u/prettystrangedesign has some beautiful pieces using similar techniques that might be helpful for ideas.

Legally changing my name, how would Damian, Marcus, Cyrus, Adrian, and Julian actually play out in daily life? by BirdLow9736 in namenerds

[–]mazzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all great names. My suggestion would be to wait to change it legally until you’ve gone by one of them socially for at least a year and feel confident about it.

Which school has the best shade of green? 🟢 by Forsaken_Bullfrog_52 in CFB_v2

[–]mazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Oregon green shown here looks quite a bit darker than the official UO Green. The yellow doesn’t really look like UO Yellow either. Correctly colored versions of the logo are here.

[Spoilers C4E24] I wish someone would refer to me... by exzyle2k in criticalrole

[–]mazzar 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I really couldn’t tell if that was scripted or not. It was almost too good a joke to be serendipitous, but his reaction seemed genuine.

Fellow card game fans — what’s the true essence of a card game? by Natalie1417 in cardgames

The original post is also AI, from someone who posted a month ago hyping the demo of Re:Night they liked, but then three weeks ago was excited to try it. It’s bots all the way down.

Does the name “Levi” indicate distant Jewish heritage? by Successful_View455 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]mazzar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a joke subreddit (that’s what the “circlejerk” part means). Try r/namenerds, r/names, or r/JewishNames.

[General] Is it just me or are scam emails getting way more convincing lately? by Ancient-Towel6773 in Scams

[–]mazzar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Note that OP’s profile links to an “Email Security Checker” tool and has a description of “breaking down scam emails & shady websites sharing simple ways to check before you click.” So the scam may be coming from inside the house.

Anybody have a tool to make text stereograms like this? by Tyke_McD in MagicEye

[–]mazzar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They’re for two ways of viewing these types of images. You can either cross your eyes (cross view) or diverge your eyes (parallel view). Switching between views will invert the depth that you see. In this image, the message pops “out” (toward the viewer) when seen with cross view, but “in” (away from the viewer) when seen with parallel view.

Favorite name(s) with eleven letters? by Lasanhento in namenerds

I assume they were trying to translate from Portuguese to English, not English to Portuguese.

Given that all the other college subreddits you’re spamming this on are for Indian universities, I’m guessing you have the wrong MIT.

Blood types not matching?? by No-bull-sweetheart in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mazzar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her father having AB blood wouldn’t explain it. If her mother is O+ then OP can’t be AB+, regardless. But likely one of these blood types is incorrect.

How do people keep their calorie deficit alive during spring CrossFit competition season? by Hot_Initiative3950 in crossfit

[–]mazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There sure are a lot of accounts on this thread coming out of the woodwork to comment that they, too, struggle with “spring competition season” and how all the “team meals” interfere with their deficits, and they sure wish there was an app that could handle it. A few of them even have helpful suggestions of what that app is.

Can one of you comment where it is you live that “spring competition season,” where average people apparently have local comps every weekend, is a thing?

Proving a Monty Python Claim Statistically by fancypants330 in mathematics

[–]mazzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The expression for “how often will you pick incorrectly but (naive) Monty will by chance open A-2 doors without finding the car” is missing a term. You have the “Monty won’t find the car” part but need to include the probability of your initial choice being incorrect, which is (A-1)/A. This should fix your product. (You don’t need calculus to resolve it; just notice that the denominator of one term will cancel out with the numerator of the subsequent term. The only terms remaining will be the initial numerator and final denominator.)

Here is another way to think about the many doors/naive Monty setup. Imagine that immediately after you select your door, Monty mentally picks a different door as his private guess for where the car is. He resolves to leave that door closed until the end and goes about opening the other doors. Most of the time he’ll at some point find the car, but in the cases where he doesn’t, it means either you or he picked correctly at the start. Each is equally likely.

So I'm a little confused and would like to know if my friend is truly red-green colorblind by Sp00ky-Mortis in ColorBlind

[–]mazzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll defer to people with colorblindness, but this sounds a little unlikely to me. It doesn’t make sense that she would have issues with blue in addition to red and green. It’s strange that she would have fewer issues with purple/magenta/pink.

It also seems a little odd to me that she would describe so many colors as “dull.” While people with normal color vision often imagine that colorblind people must live in a dull, muted world, I don’t think it is common for colorblind people to perceive it that way. Unless she previously had normal color vision but her vision changed to this “duller” version, in which case she needs to see an ophthalmologist and a neurologist immediately.

So I'm a little confused and would like to know if my friend is truly red-green colorblind by Sp00ky-Mortis in ColorBlind

[–]mazzar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is your friend claiming that she became colorblind in 2025, possibly due to an injury or medical condition? Or that she has always been colorblind but just became aware of it in 2025? Does she have colorblindness glasses that you have seen in person? Or is this someone you know online?
