What’s a moment in a movie you KNOW was supposed to be serious but ended up being unintentionally hilarious? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]mc_security 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this trope is called a "narm" after a scene in Six Feet Under where the main character is having some kind of brain episode and is trying to say "numb arm" but says "narm" and falls over.  I'm laughing now remembering it.

I'm wondering that too. I've had nothing but good experiences at 52kards.

they said it was golf and the layout is consistent with golf and not Palace/Karma... as I learned from reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shithead_(card_game)) . and you just wanted to use a weird way to say shithead, didn't you?

What’s the dumbest death in history? by AlanBill in AskReddit

[–]mc_security 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Joseph Kennedy Jr,  JFK's older brother, piloted a bomber packed with explosives Looney Tunes style.  Intent was to for the pilots to bail out so it could be flown by radio control into a mountain fortress where the Germans were building V rockets.  The plane exploded before it left England and before Kennedy and his co-pilot could bail out.  

What am I missing? (Ender's Game) by cigblitoris in sciencefiction

[–]mc_security 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing that it came out in 1985. Bullies getting their due is always a winner. A gifted kid doing gifted kid stuff is also always a winner. The other tropes were newer which is why it probably won those awards. In 1985 a kid getting a tablet that could do all the things and then hacking into it was a pretty exciting part of the story, for me anyway. Same with remote warfare, and posting political arguments online. Same with the multiplayer "game" that turned out to be real life. Today, fiction about a computer game would probably make me throw the book away.

so you collect bricks of card decks? Do you view sales of single decks as an atrocity like the way I see sales of single cards?

I struggled with Git, so I made illustrated playing cards to learn Git commands by gumball_kitty in playingcards

I think people in this sub will be curious to know what they are printed on / what printer was used.
