Have you ever had a question about something that you wanted to ask on here, but you didn't have enough content to make a full thread? Well here's your chance to ask some questions or answer questions for other people.

 

[cannedbread]

i giggled when i saw three threads you locked that were random questions and then this thread stickied.

What is love?

What is love?

"Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke" ~ Lynda Barry

 

[Holder of the Heel]

"Love is a serious mental disease" - Plato

Absolutely, emphatically agree. I think the above quote, and the following quote, to anyone who respects reason above all things, would repeat these out loud every morning as a mantra.

"It is impossible to love and be wise." - Bacon

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I shall obey the fatty fried meat overlord that is bacon

If bacon commands that I can't love and be wise, I shall obey

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

 

[Atrain]

What is love?

Baby, don't hurt me.

 

[KRDsonic]

How many pages will this thread get to?

 

[Claire Diviner]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Funny enough, I've tried that, but I eventually gave up. Perhaps the world will never know.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Some college made a licking machine and it took the machine 411 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop. I'm sure there are other things a licking machine can be good for.

Other studies got less licks

Baby, don't hurt me.

This was the correct answer

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Sol Diviner where have you disappeared to.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

I was incredibly attempted to post "Baby don't hurt me" but I wanted to post something a bit more useful ha. Besides, it was just a matter of time before someone would say that anyhow.

 

[Luigitoilet]

That's so easy and cliche I wasn't expecting it to be the actual "correct answer". I mean dang. it's kind of like posting "do u liek mudkips" in 2012

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That's what I was going for

 

[Claire Diviner]

Sol Diviner where have you disappeared to.

You can usually find me in the DR, the Smash Information Center, the Smash 4 boards and in the Debate Hall. I browse other places from time to time too.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Ohhh well.

 

[victra♥]

What is love?

When you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

As of now, I kind of never want to wake up. Except half the time I sleep I have nightmares anyway

Didn't know where else to put this so here


Last Friday I went in for a job interview and got a job offer, they said they would call me for orientation.

They haven't called yet.... Should I call? Idk D:

I don't wanna look desperate.

 

[Claire Diviner]

That's tough. If they say they'll call you, you'll have to trust that they'll call. Give it about a week. If they don't call by then, you should call.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Didn't know where else to put this so here

That's why this thread exists.

Like Sol Diviner said I'd give it a week since they told you about calling you for orientation.

It's not a matter of looking desperate or not, it's something one should follow up on regardless of how much you want the job.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Why is Wikipedia so horrible for any mathematics or physics-related subjects, if you don't have a PhD in the subject?

 

[Teran]

Because difficult mathematical concepts you have to slowly work towards.

Also because mathematicians have never been good at actually explaining stuff because IT JUST MAKES SENSE I mean when you factorise and then move the x here it's just a matter of this impossibly complex graph plotting that you should just get omg are you like a ******? Seriously you're dumb just go do something like art.

Protip, if you're white, don't bother unless you think grey is the best suit colour.

Have you tried Simple English Wikipedia?

 

[JeLe]

Lately I've been smashing with my bro but we don't have anything for recording it. And sometimes I kinda wish Santa would just get here already and drop some S-video cables down the chimney.

So, this got me wondering: as a kid, around Christmas, how often did you have those moments? Those moments of just waiting... for Santa to come... :santahat:

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I never believed in Santa.

Actually I may be wrong, when I was way younger that may have happened.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

What is a question?

Also I never believed in Santa, probably because my family didn't do the whole Santa thing with gifts.

Also because they didn't do gifts often, they mostly gave us money. Even when we were REALLY young. Except back then, they kept it and just spent it when we wanted to get something

 

[cannedbread]

my parents were always the type to just get something the day after or before christmas because sorry kiddo we're just so busy

that and i am a very selfless person so i would always feel guilty about asking for things and accepting things especially around my parents

so to answer your question, nah not really

 

[JeLe]

Y'know, I never actually believed in Santa myself... but I know sometimes I did have that "moment of anticipation." It wasn't really anticipation for the presents (they weren't much), but anticipation for one of the few days of the year that was almost guaranteed to have no one yelling at each other... that just never happens now.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I stopped believing in Santa when I never got the Sega Genesis I asked for when I sat on his lap.

I'm still waiting for one, you old *******! They cost around $30 easy now, so there's no excuse!

Santa doesn't make stuff like Sega Genesis in his work shop because of legal reasons with Sega.

Sega is the reason Santa never gave you one. Sega, and copyright laws

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Sega, Santa, there's a difference?

 

[Pyra]

Am I the only one who sat on Sega's lap the other day then?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If you sat on his lap that day, a kiss a toy is the price you paid.

IDK, Santa offering toys in exchange for little boys and girls sitting on his lap and kissing him sounds fishy to me

 

[Terywj [태리]]

It's okay even if you don't sit on his lap, he sees you when you're sleeping, so.

 

[cannedbread]

you better watch out
you better not cry
