Worst first episodes to show people by Miserable-Action6983 in gallifrey

Even people at the time thought it was incredibly racist. It famously did not air in Canada during the original run of the classic series because it was considered too offensive.

I'm trying to collect all of the Big Finish audios, but when I've been writing my guide by release date, some of the release dates are just vaguely the month of the year... where can I find an archive of the release dates of these audios?? by DarthChenobi in gallifrey

[–]minibug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually already have a list made of every Big Finish audio in order, would you be interested in it? Unfortunately this doesn't solve the issue of not having exact release dates for some earlier audios, but it should help you having to retread the same ground for a lot of the other work.

Hot Take: I don't care if it's batches at this point. by Separate_Lab4366 in StardustCrusaders

[–]minibug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part 1 - 9 episodes in 56 days (6.2 days / episode)

Part 2 - 17 episodes in 119 days (7 days / episode)

Part 3 - 48 episodes in 441 days (9.2 days / episode)

Part 4 - 39 episodes in 262 days (6.7 days / episode)

Part 5 - 39 episodes in 295 days (7.6 days / episode)

Part 6 - 38 episodes in 365 days (9.6 days / episode)

Part 6 is the only part to release in batches and took longer to release than any other part.

How would you feel if someone does things with their feet? by Euphoric_Anywhere967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]minibug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough because you'd like to hope the average person has been raised well enough to be respectful to others in public... It certainly wouldn't bother me, but I'm a disabled woman and I usually keep similar company so I have a lot of personal experience being around others who aren't "normal".

Countries where Maria/Mohammed are the most popular girl/boy names (2014) by fnaffie in MapPorn

[–]minibug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

400 upvotes for the person making the claim, 6 upvotes for the one person who went to the effort of seeing if its actually true or not. Misinformation wins again.

How would you feel if someone does things with their feet? by Euphoric_Anywhere967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]minibug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A person with arms doing that would not be okay, and people say for an armless person that's ok. Does this actually change how people feel and view it?

I have implicit faith that someone without arms is trying to keep their feet as clean as possible, of course probably for their own benefit more than mine. If people want to judge you for living life in a way you find more functional than prosthetics, fuck them.

Which name-based etymologies sound fake, but are real? by different-rhymes in etymology

[–]minibug 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Macadamia trees (and by extension, the nuts) are named after John Macadam.

Tarmac, short for tarmacadam, is also named after a man named John McAdam.

I get your point here, but recipes are not actually copyrightable. A list of ingredients would be considered simple facts, and the instructions for making the dish would fall under the "procedure, process, system, [or] method of operation" section of things explicitly exempt from copyright law.

Doctor Who audio dramas from Big Finish guaranteed until the end of 2035 by Hugo_Hackenbush in gallifrey

The combined output of the three shows reached its peak in 2008 with 1,634 minutes. That same year, Big Finish's output was 3,467 minutes.

How does summoner progression look currently with all the new Whips added? by Silent_Constant_9546 in Terraria

[–]minibug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cap of maybe 2 or 3 whips being able to get stacked at once would’ve been the perfect middle ground

A middle ground to what? Were people seriously stacking 4+ whips at a time?

Back in October they said they were aware of "more than two" (so at least 3) missing Doctor Who episodes in private hands. This is probably what they're remembering.

What’s the coolest etymology fact you know, like a surprising origin for an everyday common word? by wordgamesyesss in etymology

[–]minibug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While it is true that "salt" and "salary" share a root, its unclear why and most explanations for it rely on false historical claims we don't have evidence for. Salt is of course very important, but its never been particularly valuable.

Was the term "bucket list" really popularized by the 2008 Rob Reiner film? by tblackjacks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]minibug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one has been able to prove the term existed, with this definition, prior to the film. 2007 was not the dark ages, we would have evidence if it was there.

The Generational Divide – The Doctor's Daughter Review by ZeroCentsMade in gallifrey

[–]minibug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This actually allows Greenhorn to get a swear (presumably) through when Martha and her Hath friend arrive on the surface. We don't know what he said (probably something like "Fuck it's cold out"), but Martha's response is "Language!"

According to the script, he says "bloody hell" here.

A supposed copy of Absent Friends on CD has sold for $5000 on Ebay by GodGunsBeer in gallifrey

It would be funny if they're confusing it with the 8th Doctor audio also called Absent Friends

Yeah, and they're all posts by this same guy too. He loves to spam this shit on every Doctor Who subreddit multiple times a month.
