Merriam/Webster RPF

I'm pretty sure that Noah Webster and George Merriam never met in real life, and also, there's a 45 year age gap. But what if ... ? If we allow for some minor historical inaccuracies, we could really get this ball rolling.

Some names just sound so ridiculously fake that had they been fictional, people would’ve rolled their eyes in complete disbelief. Like seriously. Wdym there’s a mf called Galileo Galilei. Stfu. You just made that up

Fastest man on earth is a guy called Usain Bolt. Sure I guess. There’s a poker player whose real name is Chris Moneymaker. Whatever. Scott Speed is a racecar driver. Founder of Tito’s Vodka is some guy called Bert Beveridge. There’s a former CNN bureau chief called William Headline. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Former chairman of exxonmobil is named Rex Tillerson. Billoinnaire who built his own shitty billoinnare tour sub and died in it was called Stockton Rush. These are cartoon level names.

damn im sweaty as hell i'm gonna play my guitar naked hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xkcd 305

honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet

wait no peOPLE ACTUALLY DO THIS???

 really stupid question though but like, aren’t there stars in front of the moon??? like??? space isn’t two dimensional so someone putting a couple stars in front of the shadow wouldn’t necessarily be wrong?? because aren’t there stars all around in space and?????? im just going to be confused forever frick uvu; 

hun if there was a star infront of the moon we’d be fucking dead

i’m fucking crying

I FINALLY FOUND THIS

@relevant-xkcd-comic

When I fail to remember a login password I don't need them to provide me with a "forgot your password?" link, I need them to provide me with a list of their password requirements so I can remember what hoops I had to jump through to modify my normal password to meet their inane requirements

Hey @relevant-xkcd-comic or @relevant-xkcd , I don't actually know which of you, can we get the password strength comic here?

Pretty sure the recognized unofficial name for that is the nipple

I'm more interested that we get a footnote for 'detonate' but not 'program'. I have compared code to magic spells before but I don't know one for 'summon lots of plutonium'.

I'm a python programmer. There's a lot of cool shit in pypi
