Apepollo11,

Is this what happens if you type 5318008 too often?

Apepollo11,

Fact 1 - sexually active people subconsciously look at peoples’ crotches when meeting them.

Fact 2 - evolution doesn’t fine tune things if they’re good enough to get the job done well.

So the fact that pubic hairs are unsightly crazy-looking things might not be because they are fine tuned to be like that - it might just be because they do their job well enough and they just ended up looking like that.

What job could that be?

To confirm visually that you are sexually mature.

That may literally be it - a localised fuzzy indicator of whether or not you’re able to make babies.

Apepollo11,

I remember reading this exact article as a kid!

This was back when White Dwarf still showed you how to construct buildings and tanks out of household rubbish. Good times.

Apepollo11,

We’ll still have diversity (such as it is) - we have more than two parties.

If the local elections are anything to go by, however, the Tories have slipped into third place for the first time in history.

(Of course, I’m not daft enough to think local elections accurately predict general elections).

[Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins?

Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)

Apepollo11,

Dry cereal always worked (still does!) as a nutritious snack. Granted, the nutrition has all been sprayed on, but it’s still there.

A little mixed tub of Cornflakes/Branflakes/Rice Crispies/Coco Pops always goes down well.

Apepollo11,

I’m not trying to downplay the reality of serious health concerns sometimes being behind food habits, but I think I need to say…

Picky eating is an absolutely normal part of child development. Anecdotally, both of my kids went through two distinct phases of picky eating, at around 3-5 and 8-11.

They gradually grow out of it. All you can do is try to make sure what they are eating is nutritious enough while they are going through it.

Apepollo11,

Nerf Herder have a song called Courtney about Courtney Love.

Apepollo11,

You have to remember that America’s political spectrum is skewed heavily to the right.

‘Liberals’ only appear left-wing because your centre ground is much further to the right than many other developed countries.

In other countries ‘Liberals’ occupy the centre ground, with the left and right wings on either side.

Apepollo11,

I know it doesn’t help, but Europeans have always been amazed how much you guys were charged for SMS. Even in 1999, over here messages cost a fraction of what you were charged - that you pay for them at all these days is just mind-boggling.

Apepollo11,

I started university in 1999. Pretty much everyone had a mobile phone there. They were fairly new, granted, but they were pretty ubiquitous.

Apepollo11,

I always wanted a Nokia - I know it was a cliche, but I was amazed at how indestructible they were. Even when they did actually break apart, you could just pick up the bits, clip them back together, and it would just work again - with no visible damage.

Apepollo11,

The trouble is that ratcheting up the tax on additional homes won’t discourage anyone - the additional costs can just be passed on to the renters.

I’d suggest making it illegal for companies to own residential property for longer than 12 months.

Hopefully this would free up enough homes to bring prices back down.

Apepollo11,

But this is exactly the point - the market isn’t free, it’s being controlled. Primarily by companies that are buying up as many properties as they can.

Apepollo11,

I think it depends on the convention used in each country, so there isn’t one global correct answer.

In Britain the convention is Ground, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor.

Apepollo11,

As a Brit, I always assumed the American system worked like that because of freedom or something.

Apepollo11,

Ayyyyyyy-ch P Sauce.

Apepollo11,

You made a clerical error.

Apepollo11,

I guess the USA famously uses rendition flights and offshore detention centres, so maybe the plot twist is the other ‘US’ is actually the USA?

Apepollo11,

The minimum was 21°?!

Yikes - as someone from the North of England, that’s the temperature I start melting. I’d be a puddle at 40°!

Apepollo11,

The Golden Age was before Web 2.0

Before just anybody could easily post content, there was a barrier to entry - you had to learn how to put HTML together. Sure, it wasn’t too hard, but it kept people like mad relatives from posting their racist nonsense for the world to see.

Apepollo11,

Also, it was a lot less insidious - the crazy stuff was a lot easier to detect.

Granted, stuff like Time Cube Theory usually ended up incorporating antisemitic and anti-islamic tropes, but you’d have to wade through literally pages of red flags before you got there.

Now this kind of stuff is more sneaky - it presents as more reasonable, which makes it much more dangerous.

Apepollo11,

Just wanted to add another agreement here. It’s like milk at the bottom of a bowl of children’s cereal (er, obviously not Coco Pops).

I’m surprised that there’s a few people saying it tastes salty. I wonder how much it depends on diet - I guess human diets vary more than cow diets do.

Titanic Torso!

The titan's torso is assembled enough to get a glimpse at the final product and he's HUGE! For reference, the can of Zandri Dust spray primer is 7.75" tall and that chainsword is 14.75" long from tip of blade to bottom of powercell. This guy is a towering 22.5" tall and he doesn't even have his carapace armor, guns, or void shields on yet!

Apepollo11,

Before fully computing the detail, my brain saw this as a titan doing a superhero landing pose. Now that’s all I want to see.

Apepollo11,

Pic-er-nic baskets, specifically.

Apepollo11,

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should…
