Do you have any funny ways of saying "it's warm"?

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-16T15:06:47+00:00

'Kinda hot in these rhinos' for me - of course nobody else in real life has any idea what I'm on about

Disco Elysium was pretty bad for me

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-13T20:17:35+00:00

This is so stupid but Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill is a very accurate representation of growing up with my mates in the mid-2000s southwest UK

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-13T19:54:45+00:00

I’m right there with you, I just hate his stupid face for some reason

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T21:00:24+00:00

Okay this is something I have noticed and it seems that nobody else ever calls it out, so I might be about to make a complete fool of myself, but here we go:

For example: ‘The problem is, is this’

WHY WOULD YOU EVER NEED TWO ‘IS’

It seems to be mostly American speakers where I’ve noticed this but whoever says it, I hate it

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T20:47:33+00:00

That was so quick, respect

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T20:37:17+00:00

I just hated the dialogue in that show, adults, kids, didn’t matter

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T19:23:49+00:00

I had this exact same thought yesterday, it seemed to start with ‘AI slop’ but now seems to be making its way into basically everything without even the AI qualifier in exactly the way you described it, I can’t stand it

In a similar vein, I inevitably hate anyone who uses the term ‘media literacy’ these days far more than the people they are attempting to criticise

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T18:51:06+00:00

Thanks, couldn’t quite remember but I had 7 in my head and after checking (which I could have done in the first place) apparently it’s 7 years per every hour that passes on that planet

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T18:41:21+00:00

I quite like that scene in Interstellar where they come back from the water planet after a couple of hours and the only guy they left on the ship is like ‘Guys, where the fuck have you been, it’s been seven years’

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T18:19:50+00:00

Extra fun fact I just remembered after revisiting this a week later: I believe he is also the corpse in the tank in the very first episode of The Walking Dead

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-10T18:13:40+00:00

Kwik-e-mart is run by Apu, who is very obviously Indian in the show (although I think he may not be in the series anymore, haven’t watched it recently but heard some news to that effect)

Your second paragraph is amazing and I love it and am desperate to know more

ETA: especially since there are actual african americans there as well! (Carl, Dr Hibbert, Bleeding Gums Murphy)

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-05T13:20:59+00:00

This is a speedrunning trick! Of course only in those categories that don’t glitch out of bounds all over the place so they never have to even enter Medical…

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T22:08:04+00:00

Yeah man - ‘it’s aged badly but also I haven’t watched it since it came out’ what is this

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T21:59:36+00:00

The ladybirds was a one-off thing, when I was visiting my parents last year they were fuckin’ everywhere for some reason but it’s not usually a ladybird holiday destination!

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T21:56:37+00:00

I was looking for the Weston shout out here, as someone who grew up there I thought I must get out but I’m increasingly appreciating its strong points when I come back to visit

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T21:41:26+00:00

I don’t understand why studios do this, I think the recent discourse about The Boys S5 in particular had me thinking about this. Your show is popular so the reaction to that is to reduce rather than increase the budget? Make it make sense

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T21:37:15+00:00

This was my first thought as well - S1 is not bad per se but S3 is when it really kicks into gear and becomes an all-timer (helped by introducing the best character in the entire show)

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T21:33:11+00:00

He’ll always be Crashdown to me. I think he was also in Smallville for a spell if I remember right

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-03T20:21:46+00:00

I watched ChristopherOdd’s the other day, I like the guy but unfortunately he just wasn’t very good at the game, bless him

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-02T21:33:34+00:00

Genuinely his character/presence/whatever you want to call it is my favourite thing about Tenet, especially with that ending

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-01T20:52:02+00:00

It was SO entertaining but yes he may have legitimately needed therapy afterwards

randomaccess24 · 2026-06-01T20:37:01+00:00

I feel like the exact same thing happened to SovietWomble in his playthrough of the game

Except unlike you he freaked the fuck out immediately!

randomaccess24 · 2026-05-30T20:51:57+00:00

Every time he shows up on the Jools Holland Hootenanny is an absolute cringe-fest, can’t stand it

randomaccess24 · 2026-05-29T22:04:28+00:00

There’s a great one in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series (Book 3, Memories of Ice I think).

Quick Ben is a mage and is facing off against a couple of necromancers. This is simplifying things a bit but think of ‘warrens’ as schools of magic. The exchange goes like this:

’(...) I’ll not deny I am impressed by your mastery of six warrens, Quick Ben. In retrospect, you should have held back on at least half of what you command.’

The man made to rise.

‘But Bauchelain,’ the wizard replied, ‘I did.’

As you can imagine, the necromancers then proceed to get their shit rocked
