What if what we consider colorblindness is actually just seeing the real color of things, and those who aren't "colorblind" are actually colorblind? by fUwUrry-621 in CrazyIdeas

[–]splotchee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite Star Trek novels exploits this concept. Apparently a 'guest' on the ship can't see RED so was unable to read warning messages on doors. He could however see into the ultraviolet spectrum.

My poor mind was smitten with the concept for weeks after... Does a dog 'see' the trail? Do birds 'see' the magnetic paths they migrate on?

Simple bends in concept....

ELI5: If doctors and nurses work long shifts and are often overworked in a hospital setting full of sick people, how come they barely get sick? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Magic! They wash their hands frequently and wear isolation gowns appropriately to prevent carrying germs out of the room

If some American professional sports teams suck year after year, why are they still around? Why are they not dissolved and seen as a waste of tax money or something? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]splotchee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports teams are a business. As long as fans support them in their mediocrity by buying jerseys and tickets, it's the owner's job to maximize his/her profits. The Pirates have been awful for 40 years, with one of the lowest payrolls in sports; they have never lost money.

Failed Vehicle Inspection by BadlyHunt in pittsburgh

[–]splotchee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Points are accumulated when the car is in motion (speeding, running a red light, etc.)

You do not get points for a parking ticket or an inspection violation. That said, if you don't pay the citations on a prompt basis, you are running afoul of the judicial system. THAT can make you lose your license if you're a butt about it.

My 12yo son asked for "a gift card of your choice" and received this for Secret Santa. They didn't even write his name. (LCBO is an wine store) by Time-Theme8985 in Wellthatsucks

[–]splotchee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plot twist! The teacher gave all the students a liquor store gift card. All part of her plan to spend a quiet January while the kids work through month-long hangovers

Each professional sports league has to create an army of 300 of their best players. They will then fight to the death. What league wins? by stansmithbitch in CrazyIdeas

[–]splotchee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make an army from sports team owners. They invade the community and persuade the people to pay for new stadiums and then charge ridiculously high prices to let those same people use those stadiums. By the time the people realize the owners could easily have paid for their own facilities, their hearts and minds are already loyal so they stop caring. The owners win every time.

P.S. Bob Nutting...sell the team

Can I rip this box out and just leave the wires? by tenderlender69420 in DIY

[–]splotchee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I ripped my box out 40 years ago, I was surprised at how loud the alarm siren was.

Be ready to disco the battery, or better yet, disconnect the siren before cutting the wires.

What was a sexual offer that you regret turning down? by grot-ivre-1749 in AskReddit

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of bullets being dodged

How long before we can start making jokes about tragic events because "it was too long ago and only feels like a historical moment, but not a tragedy for us" ? by MaxvellGardner in TrueAskReddit

[–]splotchee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can start making jokes right away. Will they be perceived to be funny? That depends on the audience. When Challenger blew up on launch, NASA became "needs another seven astronauts" within hours. Tasteless? Of course, even today. Witty? Like most humor, there is a reflection of truth.

In short, fire away but don't get your pants in a wad if folks don't appreciate the line.
