What’s an album you thought you would like at first but ended up disliking after listening to it?
  • My War by Black Flag.

    "I must hear this album that singlehandedly inspired entire swathes of the punk and later grunge movements!"

    It's bad. No, not unlikeable, but it's an album full of songs that you and your friends could probably come up with after a single night of drinking in a shitty basement. There isn't anything that screams genius or promise or talent.

    I've listened to it a few times and I just don't get what our early grunge ancestors were vibing to all those millennia ago.

  • My mistake
  • I don't get this comic. The text is fine, but it has literally nothing to do with the characters or the coffee shop they're in

    I guess the story is that the blond girl had a previous conversation with the brunette pair about freaking out about the actions of humanity, followed up by days of silence, and then a tentative message to meet up in a coffee shop somewhere to discuss, or maybe she just bumped into them unplanned (hence the laptop?)

    What is even the story here?

  • History repeats
  • Give me all the Toy Story Films, plus a 2 week amnesiac pill every 2 weeks. I'll be fine

  • "I love the poorly educated"
  • Really well said

  • "I love the poorly educated"
  • Well, all it does is drive up the cost for the working class who live there who are then forced to move out.

    If you were born there, that does indeed suck. If you bought your way in there, it's a win. If you were born there and can afford to keep living there, also a win

  • New Superhero
  • Trolley problems can be directly mapped to those "would you rather" drinking games. e.g. Would you have sex with your dad to save your mum's life?

    The question is meaningless in a normal context, the answer is meaningless in a normal context, but it's fun to explore your limits in strange circumstances, no?

  • Kitty cat engagement photo
  • Uhh *looks around fearfully at other comments* c-congrats!

  • New Superhero
  • Agency might matter depending on societal context. 5 hot guys might be worse than 1 hot guy in a world with limited resources, for example.

    Everyone knows that 5 of something is usually better than 1. The dilemma comes from finding a situation where that might not be true, and therein exploring some quirks of our own humanity.

    It goes too far when people interpret these quirks as fundamental human traits, but there is genuine merit in testing oneself with fun hypotheticals

  • checkmate
  • Same, and same.

  • Who did Fiona actually marry at the end of Four Weddings and a Funeral?
  • the second one mostly, but also a bit of the first.

    What was meant by that gag? She found a prince? She married into royalty? She never married at all? What does that ending mean?

  • Any meteorologist that can help me figure out what the heck this line is?
  • You signed the forms, you knew what you were agreeing to

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • And then Android is a Starbucks cup.

    That does Android a huge disservice. Android is a well made Nescafe. It's not the coffee of your choice, but it is stable and reliable, and doesn't make a fuss if you pour other coffees into it.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • That's just pretentious, man. You do that for the musafir but there's no way you use that impossible to clean cezve on a daily basis.

    Here, use this:

    A teaspoon for every little cup of water. Heat it fast until it simmers, stir like crazy for two minutes, pour, then let it froth slightly, then pour again.

    I use Arch and Debian depending on what I think is easiest.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • Oh I see, you enjoy licking the boot of Big Tea...

    (yes im joking)

  • I'll find them one day
  • Same. I just rewatched a film from the early 00's and many details about ita humour, characters, ans even the physical appearance of some of the actors, seem to have been Mandela'd out of existence

  • Who did Fiona actually marry at the end of Four Weddings and a Funeral?

    At the end there's a lot of matching up going on, except for Fiona who is practically photoshopped into a gag image of Prince Charles.

    I feel they did her character a big disrespect, as she was easily one of the more interesting female characters.

    Any meteorologist that can help me figure out what the heck this line is?
  • He's dead. The aliens took issue and doubled back.

  • Any meteorologist that can help me figure out what the heck this line is?
  • Athena sprung out of Zeus's head like a bad splitting headache. So, uh, the world is either gonna get a lot more wise or a lot more violent

  • I'll find them one day
  • The jokes aren't funny, or at least not very memorable, but it's got a strange charm to it

  • How the hell did they shoot Austin Powers?

    Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

    How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

    Why is this game trending?

    It's a 2016 game. It has cutesy pixel graphics. That's literally all I know, but it has been spamming my frontpage for two weeks now, despite me not being subscribed to this community.

    Why now?

    Low resource system activity reporting tool? i.e. "What caused that CPU spike on my laptop 10 mins ago?"

    Any recommendations for low-impact tools I can use to better understand the activity of expired processes?

    I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying?

    I've moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

    I've tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it's been... life changing.

    What else should I be trying?

    What songs does your local Ice Cream Van play?

    Ours plays the 1979 hit Music Box Dancer which is weird because it's definitely not public domain.

    [Serious] What do you think Disney's Recess characters are up to now, as adults?

    I can imagine Gus joining the army depending on his relationship with his dad.

    Books that are worse than the film (which was already bad?)

    I've started reading Jumper by NameDoesNotMatter. I would like to formally apologise about all the harsh things I've ever spoken about that film.

    Fine, the cast is unlikeable and the action scenes are just fisticuffs in the air, but my god, in comparison to the teenage dreck that is the book, it's a masterpiece. At least they tried to build a credible back story for the main character.

    In the book, he literally thinks everyone is out to sexually assault him (and somehow they seem to), he solves his problems by throwing money at it, instead of any actual creativity, and the author desperately tries to portray him as a mature-for-his-age adult, despite the fact that his first reaction to anything is crying followed by petty revenge.

    I'm just flicking through the pages, pausing at any plot bits, and then flicking on.
