Random question of the day:

Why does The Simpsons keep accurately predicting the future?

Just numbers. There are so many episodes of the simpsons that at least a certain percentage of them are bound to correlate to actual world events.

Also satirists are people with their fingers most on the pulse. They clever. They observe. They conjecture.

 

[dear katara]

The answers above me are far more logical but I would like to have a little faith in the possibilities of this universe and say witchcraft

(But no, really, there’s SO many episodes, if things didn’t align once in a while we would need to be worried)

Pretty much what I was gonna say, but worded better. Kudos to ya.

About three days. Couldn't afford food.

Random question of the day:

What's the longest period of time you've gone without eating?

When I was a kid waiting for an appendix operation that they weren't sure if they were going to do I wasn't allowed to eat or drink for a week.

 

[rats]

Four days. I was in a terrible mental state and was delusional enough to think everything was poisoned.

Random question of the day:

Do you ever wear Velcro shoes not because you don't know how to tie your shoes, but because you don't feel like having to tie them?

 

[Onmyoji]

That's exactly why I bought some velcro shoes.

I have worn nothing but garden clogs for the last eight months.

Random question of the day:

Do you ever wear Velcro shoes not because you don't know how to tie your shoes, but because you don't feel like having to tie them?

Yes. I wore them for a while, and then the velcro started to get all gunky and disgusting because of dirt, lint, what have you. (I go outside a lot- well pre-pandemic), so I had to go back to wearing lace-up ones.

 

[Kazami42]

Don't need shoes if you don't go outside. But I'd wear Velcro anyway if it looks nicer than lace. But like, just slip the laces down inside.
But if they had any unspecialized, I'd totally buy some strapped/Velcro boots.

Gotta find me some of them shin-high goth boots, I'd wear that even inside the house and it has more purposes than just fashion.

Random question of the day:

Why are there so many ways to kill a vampire or keep them from killing you?

 

[Idea]

Because vampires aren't just one legend, but an accumulation of many legends and stories built over centuries, if not millennia. The most prominent traits ended up stitched together into the variations of vampirism we know today.

 

[MindOfChrist]

To be fair, there are a lot fewer ways to kill a vampire than to kill a normal person. But to answer your question, vampire legends are so old and so widespread (there's vampire stories in most cultures), and they get so much attention in modern storytelling, that there's bound to be a lot of variety in almost every aspect of vampire lore.

No answers yesterday. Oh well.

Random question of the day:

Have we all had enough of J.K. Rowling's attention seeking ways?

 

[Mollberg]

Have we all had enough of J.K. Rowling's attention seeking ways?

I've had enough of J.K Rowling's shit in general tbh.

That said, I'm not really sure what excatly you mean by "attention seeking ways".

 

[Crayons]

No answers yesterday. Oh well.

Random question of the day:

Have we all had enough of J.K. Rowling's attention seeking ways?

I think we have. I'm not sure I'd call it attention seeking though since she has millions and millions of fans/haters/followers she doesn't really need to "seek" as such. Everything she says or does gets attention automatically. I'd also like her to stop writing books, lol. She's just not that good at it.

 

[MindOfChrist]

I haven't really paid much attention to be honest. I read the books, enjoyed them, and moved on.

 

[Onmyoji]

I don't really follow - or care what she is doing. I read her books once, that's all I know about her.

Random question of the day:

If time travel was real, would it be better to travel to the future or the past?

 

[Idea]

To the future I’d say, so as to attain a life with the new technologies within it, and to avoid messing with the past. The butterfly effect could prove catastrophic.

 

[LofiCat]

I think to the past to fully see our past mistakes and not make them in the future!

Also just to check if the world was really black and white before

 

[Onmyoji]

I'd definitely want to travel to the past to strangle my past self for some dumb decisions in life.
