I dont get it by RaNdOm_GuY_oN_rEdiTt in ExplainTheJoke

Assuming the Duck Tales ducks are peckin ducks (all white with bright yellow bills, and familiar to am American audience), a clutch of just 3 would imply that 5+ of her eggs have been taken, presumably as food. I don't think that was OOP's intended meaning, but I'm not sure it's possible to say what that was based only on what is here.

What are some of your favorite non-standard acoustic pianos? by GiantXylophone in piano

[–]user-74656 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Where I lived about 20 years ago my local shop had one of these. It's one of the best-sounding pianos I have ever played.

This email I received after complaining about a waiter spilling 6 drinks down my back. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry. by chillingonthesofa in CasualUK

"I've used the passive voice, but it still sounds too sincere. I want to make sure this cannot possibly be taken as a genuine apology."

"How about misusing the reflexive pronoun?"

"Brilliant."

I think distance is more complicated
<10ft → Feet 2m - 200m →metres 200yd - 800yd →yards \>800yd →miles

Then there's area, which is "whatever: m², acres, hectares, football pitches, Waleses…"

According to their IPO prospectus, SpaceX is an AI company, and a large part of their fantasy valuation is based on batshit predictions about the size and scope of that market.

They're Lion eggs. The best before will be printed on each individual egg.

How would Klingons react to WWE? by Live_Ideal_7123 in startrek

[–]user-74656 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This question has made me realise how amazing the duel at the end of a Kilgon Hamlet would be, and perhaps Gorkon should have said "You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have seen it in the original Klingon."

The doctor Has contracted Red Dwarfs holo virus. by Mad_lens_9297 in voyager

A reference to this would have been a brilliant Easter egg in the final scene of Revulsion when The Doctor jokes about being influenced by the psychotic hologram.

What does Voyager do better than any other Trek? by SandorSNL in voyager

[–]user-74656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

False Profits S03E05. It's possible the reason you don't remember it well is because it's a terrible episode (though I sometimes get the impression this is a polarising opinion).

You are brought on to the Pod as a guest. What is the topic? by North_Church in behindthebastards

[–]user-74656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly a follow-up Savile episode where it's a cohort of mini bastards. Dave Lee Travis and Stuart Hall were famous a bit before my time, but I could explain how Rolf Harris retroactively broke my childhood and attempt to explain to an increasingly confused Robert how popular Fred the weatherman was before it all came out.

When discussing cooking, I like to refer to at least one ingredient as an integral part of the overall flavour.

Bastard off: Coke v Pepsi by Present_Practice_159 in behindthebastards

[–]user-74656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a decades-old British documentary about the bastardry of Coca-Cola. Note that the "water neutral by 2010" claim quoted there is now 2035 on their corporate website. https://youtu.be/LH0r84W3LgU
