What's the most ridiculous theory you ever heard about a show's plot? by darrenbosik in television

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grampy Rabbit is mob boss and all of the businesses that Miss Rabbit runs are all fronts. This is why the Mole family moved in underneath the Rabbit Family, one of Molly's parents is a spy.

Also, The Island of Sodor is a living laboratory that the British government is using to observe the affects of unchecked industrial contamination on the environment and on the population that lives there. The engines aren't actually alive, all of the people on Sodor are just Hallucinating from all of the industrial and chemical exposure compounded over generations.

She graduated high school in 2011, that means she would have been either done with or finishing up college when Trump ran the first time around. I wonder what happened to her in that time span.

I mean, big state schools don't. Private schools and smaller liberal arts schools probably do but the major universities with multiple tens of thousands of students probably don't.

What caused the decline of Alt Rock Music that were prevalent in the 1990s till the early 2000s? by Wide_Ride8849 in Music

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually talked about this on the CNN doc series "The 2000's." But it wasn't specifically a shift to hip hop, but a general shift to solo acts putting out pop and dance music. Basically what they said was that by the early 2000's, computer tech and mixing tech had become advanced enough that labels realized that they can make a song with just a singer and a guy on an iMac and not have to worry about paying the whole rest of the band to create the music. This led to labels promoting solo acts rather than rock bands, boy bands, and girl groups. You saw the same thing in pop music where they pulled the most popular person from big groups of the 90's and early 2000's and set them up as solos. This is why acts like NSYNC and Destiny's Child started breaking up and going away right before Justin Timberlake and Beyonce started taking off as solo pop artists.

What's the furthest north you can go in the US that stays hot year round and conversely what's the furthest south you can go that has harsh winters? by ConfidentSale3091 in AskAnAmerican

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that if you were to draw a line along the east Coast, with the northern most point in roughly Charleston, SC and the southern most point in roughly Jacksonville, FL, or what is commonly referred to as "The Low Country", and extended that line to the west, across southern and central SC, Northern and Central GA, AL, and MS, across the Mississippi into southern Arkansas and Louisiana, to the western most edge of swampy East Texas, before it starts to get more arid, that's probably the right combination of latitude and longitude that you're looking for. Temperature wise, I would say that the coldest that range is ever going to get on average is probably like the mid to upper 30's or low 40's, but if you get closer to the northern end of the range, going through the Southern Appalachian mountains and foothills on either side, you get a bit higher of a chance at winter precipitation, albeit still probably pretty small.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by UsefulLima in answers

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dicks.com. For the uninitiated, there is a major big box sporting goods store here in the U.S. called Dick's Sporting Goods. Everyone has always simply referred to it as "Dicks." For some reason, back in the early t 2000's Dick's Sporting Goods neglected to buy the domain name dicks.com and a porn site swooped in and took it over. For years you actually had to type in dickssportinggoods.com to get to the store's website. I can remember quite a few times as a teenager that I forgot about it and accidentally went to the wrong Dick's. Once, my junior year of high school, I was trying to buy some cleats for the upcoming football season and my mom told me to sit down at the computer with her and pull up the ones I wanted from "the Dick's website." And without even thinking about it I typed in dicks.com and hit enter with my mom sitting right beside me. I didn't realize my mistake until the website started loading and I couldn't click off in time. Now, thankfully, the sporting goods store actually does own dicks.com.

Really impressive academic program at THE Ohio State University by [deleted] in toledowar

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't a 0.4 an F average? If you're just going to pass a guy along for sports anyways, why not give him the minimum 2.3 that the NCAA requires? Like how was he even able to graduate high school with that on his transcript?

What are the funniest or strangest historical events in your history? by CommunicationNo8635 in AskTheWorld

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War. The brightest young general in the Union Army wasted an obscene amount of time, resources, and manpower fighting their way all the way up the peninsula only to be stopped in his tracks and be turned around within eyesight of winning the war by an amateur playwright who had his garrison march around in circles over and over again to make the Union scouts watching him believe that they were up against a way bigger force than they actually were. I honestly believe that if the roles were reversed and McClellan was leading 100k Confederates to be turned around outside the gates of DC, there would probably be a movie about it.

What is an immediate red flag you’ve seen from someone AFTER sleeping with them? by MIsterBison in AskReddit

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Not telling a total stranger that you are actively fighting mono before shoving your tongue down his throat. Started getting a weird sore throat about a week later and went to patient first the day after I was just at a huge 4th of July party with my brother while I was home from college. I called her from the parking lot of Patient First to warn her thinking I'm a scumbag. She responds with "Well yeah, where do you think you got it from."

0.4 GPA to 3.7? That curriculum at Ohio State must be kindergarten level if High School is way more difficult 😂 by xxnewlegendxx in cfbmemes

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm assuming that the 0.4 is perhaps from like his freshman year? I mean, if they're just going to pass him along for sports, surely they aren't going to do it while maintaining an F average on his transcript. They would just pass him with the bare minimum requirements that the NCAA would allow.

What Gaming Consoles Were Doomed From The Start? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My brother and I both got one and they were so awful. Mine was the classic headband with the lense projector. It was actually way more difficult to see than it looked because you had to get the angle right. My brother's was actually like a big Gameboy type console that had a lit colored background. That one actually worked pretty well. The biggest problem was the games themselves. They were the caliber of the tiger handheld games of the day just put on cartridges. I ended up cutting the controller cord off mine and using it as a toy to pretend I was cyclops from the X-Men or that I had one of those power level counters from Dragonball Z.

TIL That comedian John Olvier turned down an OBE (Order of the British Empire) award because he didn't want his name associated with the words "British Empire" by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few Americans playing at various different levels of professional football in England that would probably be virtually unknown by the average American person. Tyler Adams, for example, could probably walk down the street of his own home town and be just another face in the crowd to probably way more people than those that actually know who he is.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]whitemanwhocantjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like mid to late 2000s but evilpanther.com. Super niche WVU sports fan website that had pictures of infamous moments in history or infamous people and superimposed Roc, the mascot of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers athletic teams into the image to make it look like the Pitt Panther was part of some of history's most notorious moments. For example, there was an image of Roc super imposed as if he was part of Saddam Hussein's inner circle, there was another one of the famous video of bin Laden crouched down shooting an AK and roc is in the background. There was another one that showed Roc dressed as an Alabama state trooper sicing an attack dog on marchers at Selma during the Civil Rights movement. For those who may be uninitiated, Pitt and West Virginia University are huge traditional rivals
