So were the townspeople right to run him out of town? He may not have poisoned their water supply, burned their crops, or delivered a plague unto their houses, but he did make that guy experience high tide, so maybe he would have done all those things too.

What kind of city uses the same paint pattern to represent both separate lanes and opposing traffic??? I hope the wolf sets things straight.

The guy on the right has a negative score, so final jeopardy can’t have happened yet (in my interpretation anyway). I went about the math a little differently and tried finding ways for both of them to score above 52k and could not. I might post an exhaustive search of all possible scores, because why not.

Fun fact, their scores are actually impossible for the era the cartoon was drawn.

I don’t know enough about eyeballs to be able to answer, but 5 leagues is a bit more than 5x farther than eagles can see, and eagles already have larger pupils than humans do.

I like to think of myself as what would happen if a man and a woman had a baby.

I’ve heard things like “well things have to get worse before they get better” and “at least he’s going to end the war in Ukraine” from family.

For starters, the president of the United States once said that a convicted felon winning the election would be a constitutional crisis, and then he proceeded to do that.

I was sent to school in a red state (Indiana) and still ended up like the top picture, who’s laughing now?

I legitimately know people who press the caps lock key, type what they need uppercased, then press the caps lock key again. That said, I use both shift keys.

In undergrad I once went back to my dorm room and eagerly showed my roommate the video of Grace Hopper illustrating how long lengths of time are (https://youtu.be/9eyFDBPk4Yw). A little while later, he was talking about this scene and how he likes the writing, because engineers are often much more excited by something seemingly mundane, such as the various lengths of wire needed for a project, than “this is my spaceship.”

Anyway, I tell him, completely seriously and with no sense of irony, “yeah, but why would anyone care about lengths of wire?”

He yelled back, “You literally came in here to show me a video about lengths of wire.”

Interesting if true.

Very few roads in California have tolls.

My wife worked there some years ago, around when they started to fall behind AMD. Her team was a research unit looking into how to improve AI performance, and the entire business unit got laid off. Very smart move to trim any chance of pulling back ahead through R&D.

(I had to charge my phone to call a cab)

Idk, seems true to me. My phone died during a Twenty One Pilots concert at TD Garden during the part where we’re supposed to shine our phone lights and I was forced to stay an extra half-hour.

Massachusetts truly is the best state.

They’re probably not the most “real” of foods, but those Trader Joe’s ice cream sandwiches taste delicious and I love them.

I’m not particularly fond of Bucks county. They know what they did.

Yeah, I’m with you there!
