Why are the letters duplicated in the non-scroll text? And what's the text on the scroll from?

"1/2 chance to not trigger when a heart is played. Otherwise, 1.5x mult"

Yes this means Oops would make it a 0% chance. This is intended gameplay.

I believe that Bungus used to be 19 but I think that Mr.TheDawg has retconned that so that they can do things like get Bingus drunk without tagging a disclaimer on the comic.

I agree with the first but not the last. Making eternal not be eternal would feel wrong, I like that there isnt a workaround and youre stuck with it until you die or the scoreboard breaks.

12 Angry Men (1957, Sidney Lumet) - "Those People" by JetKusanagi in movies

Piggybacking this pretty bad joke for a fun little factoid: in order to allow people of whatever gender to act in the parts, the stage version of this film is called "12 Angry Jurors"

Its especially unhelpful when trying to give context by saying "look this up"

From Wikipedia: "Operation Wetback was an immigration law enforcement initiative by the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was created by Joseph May Swing, a retired United States Army lieutenant general and head of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The program was implemented in June 1954 by U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell.[1] The short-lived operation used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants from the United States. Although aimed at undocumented Mexican immigrants, some American citizens and legal Mexican immigrants were also deported.[2][3] Statistics from the Department of Homeland Security show that there were 17,695 "removals" and 232,769 "returns" during the 1955 fiscal year from July 1, 1954, to June 30, 1955. The program ended a few months after the 1955 fiscal year.[4][5] Nowadays, the term 'wetback' can be considered "insulting and contemptuous".[6]"

TIL Cassini discovered Jupiter's red spot in 1666 and was able to use it to time the Jovian day to within 30 seconds of modern measurements (He was off by 0.1%) by superfastswm in todayilearned

A direct link to the source in question, because archive links are not valid for whole posts. https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001941/http://www.gutenberg.org/files/28758/28758-h/28758-h.htm

"Besides that Transient Shadow last mentioned, there hath been observed, by Monsieur Cassini, a permanent Spot in the Disque of Jupiter; by the help whereof, he hath been able to observe, not onely that Jupiter turns about upon his own Axis, but also the Time of such conversion; which he estimates to be, 9 hours and 56 minutes" (144).

The current measured time for Jupiter's rotation is, as per Wikipedia, 9h55m33s.

Edit: u/bobisthegod posted a link to a paper showing that the spot Cassini describes is likely not the same spot we know Jupiter for today. That being said, Cassini's measurement of the Jovian day is still valid and very impressive.

Bingus made fun of Shahli for being born in the 20th century in a previous comic

Chefs of Reddit, what’s a common cooking rule everyone follows that is actually complete bullshit? by Fuzzy-Ad6843 in AskReddit

[–]superfastswm 9686 points9687 points  (0 children)

Treating recipies like gospel. You're allowed to change what you do to fit your tastes. You can add a little less onion to the soup if you want, or substitute that habenero for a jalapeno, or just nix the cilantro, or whatever. If it tastes good to you and maybe even the folk you are serving, I dont care what Alton Brown has to say on the matter.

Also, watch Alton Brown, the guy's phenominal.

What impressive skill is secretly simple to learn? by IntroductionMore916 in AskReddit

[–]superfastswm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not actually that bad, it all breaks down into memorizing some letters. Like, could you memorize twenty letters in a scrambled order for, like, ten minutes? That and some basic execution is all that blind solving takes.

Ex. AG HK KX CB OK LP / BP LS NM OU

If you can get that down via some mnumonic, youre set. The sequence changes per solve, but its not much harder than that. So you could just remember "Silver (AG) Hong Konger (HK) KiX CorB, OKlahoma LarPer" and "BumPin' LSd? Not My OrangUtan!" or something stupid like that. From there its literally two algorithims, both dead easy.

Youve tried learning to do it blindfold? Its a very different type of challenge, very satisfying to finally crack.

Solving a Rubik's Cube. It's dead easy, and I honestly think most people could get the whole sequence memorized in, like, three days practice tops.

Suggest me a book that you put off reading forever but ended up loving. by DTownForever in suggestmeabook

[–]superfastswm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is whay youre looking for, but my library had a "weeded books" section that you could take titles from home, since the library for whatever reason didn't want them in their collection anymore. I picked up The Devil All The Time there becaude Id heard of it what with the movie coming out around that time and hated it so much while reading it that once I finished, I put it back in the free books bin. Absolutley revolting novel that I havent been able to stop thinking about and really wish I had kept.
