[citation needed] I would've been very surprised if it hadn't been a thing. Well, now, that is a question for another ask thread. . . Has your perspective on the previously posed question "Papaya blossoms?" changed in any way since you originally responded to it, due to personal growth and/or revision of your worldview? Question? Answer? Gnuchhhk¿

Tossing a coin is, like, so 2017.

Ah, but if the die hits the ground curved-side-first it'll be far more likely to bounce onto the other side than if it hit flat-side-first. The butterfly effect is rather of a downer in trying to make fair uneven dice.
Speaking of evening out and math, are you doing anything on the (((-2581) / 89) + 44)th?

Wouldn't you get bored? Someone didn't do their homework. ? Which is best Platonic Solid? Which is best Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron? Which is best shape that is none of the above? Which is best field of mathematics? (If you don't know the names of any good fields of mathematics just say calculus nudge nudge wink wink.)

One of these two books should be a lot thicker than the other one.

Well, since one is quite clearly a money-grabbing attention scheme to give the author more fame with a very "clickbaity" title, I would surmise that that would be the shorter one. Can't figure out which one that'd be though...
Got scared that was a Trump book there for a minute.
And, to channel Twilight one last time today... Just how I like my books.
Thick.
Ah, Dewey Decimal system save me. I am physically incapable of misspelling the word to get the Slang-Meme reference across accurately.
Accuracy or Grammar? I CAN'T DECIDE!
...and now I'm murdering the joke.

I just found out that a group of ponies is called a 'string'.
String theory theorises that all particles are made up of strings.
Sit there for a moment and let the ramifications of that sink in.

Ask a Nerd. Or Ask a Puddle of Water. I'm Not Picky.
Duality replied to Duality's topic in Ask a Pony
I have an actual set of (antique) scales, so I worked it out with physical weights. Put three weights on each side of the scales. If the sides weigh equal, weigh the two left-over weights to find which one is the lighter one. If the sides weigh unequal, put aside the two left-over weights and the three that were on the heavier side and weigh two of the three weights that were on the lighter side of the scales. If one weighs lighter than the other, the answer is obvious, and if they weigh equal then the final left-over weight is the lighter one. Yay for logic. Back in the good old days that was the case, but Leonard Susskind is a snitch. -
wow those eyebrows They both look pretty schmerky; which one do you mean? Instant death or eternal life? Costa Rica or the Seychelles? Glitter or rainbow sprinkles? Spheres or cubes?

You like dry humour?
But. . . but. . . what about moist humour?
-
1. All humour is trickery. 2. 👍 3. The element of water + the element of air = the element of bubbles. 4. One can dream. 5. Q: What is the difference between a duck? A: One leg, because the other is both the same. 6. yay me 7. "BRING ON THE ONION DIP!!" 8. Why, thank you. 9. I mostly drink water, but when the occasion arises.

Today my brother's habit of spin-tossing knives into the air and then catching them resulted in him catching one point-first in the finger.
I'm the only hope my parents have of continuing their bloodline.

1. Yes, no, only if you give me cookies, perhaps, perhaps not, suspiciously unconvincing, and definitely. 2. whoa such depth 3. YES ENLIGHTEN ME SENPAI 4. Huh, that's an intriguing pick. 5. I themed my profile after wave-particle duality (definition: the principle that electrons/quarks/etc., which were originally thought to be merely particles, act like waves under certain circumstances, and light, which was originally thought to be merely a wave, acts like a particle under certain circumstances - there is no such thing as mere 'particles' or 'waves' in quantum physics; all of the basic building blocks of matter are conjoint wave-particles), because wave-particle duality is shinykewl quantum physics and I like shinykewl quantum physics. The wave-particle duality theme also extends to why my profile is generally water-themed, because I originally had a profile picture of a water droplet plopping into a pool of water - a common analogy for wave-particle duality (the droplets rebounding from the water's surface represent the 'particle', and the radiating ripples along the water's surface represent the 'wave') - but for obvious reasons I just ended up being 'the water guy'. I really need to put that on my 'normal' About Me; I get asked about it so often. 6. I am actually working on that normal About Me; it's only seriousness I'm allergic to. 7. "I'm no bureaucrat, but isn't that like against the Geneva Convention or something?" 8. Why, thank you. 9. Thomas is best choo-choo.

SO DID YOU WE'RE TRAPPED

So, if I comment (which I will never do ever in a zillion years you can't make meeee), you'll do all 9 things on the list, or only the one I choose? Because if I can only choose one of the nine, it'd have to be 3.

See, that's one question I've gotten while listening to funny D&D stories. Like, guy hurriedly makes some horrible, stupid, half-hearted attempt to talk passing guards away and now, since he somehow won the roll... There's now a leading Head General Boogarfaice.
Ya kinda have to! It's the rules! Like, where does a DM draw the line? "I... You can't do that I just... can't explain a story for that kind of situation!"
Sentient Succulents aside, I daresay there's a pretty easy explanation out of this. "Needles winds up for a kick, as much force as its little plant brain can muster and delivers a hearty kick! ...Right as the towering black dragon is roaring in spittle-flying fury at the intrusion of your party.
...the coconut lodges in his throat. He immediately sputters & chokes to death. Turns out dragon throats can handle flame... but not a spoiled coconut."

I was clearing out some old books of mine today and found my old German exercise book (I learnt the language for a few years when I was younger). I had a read through it, and I noticed a German wordfind my old tutor had given me late in my tuition (i.e., when I was elevenish).
Instead of just circling the words within the wordfind, I had decided to split the wordfind in quarters with Cartesian graph axes and write the location of the first letter of each word as (x, y) coordinates.
And now I finally understand why I unsettled adults as a child.

I don't understand the grid system you're talking about,
I'm guessing that's why I don't get why that'd be unsettling.
I used to do odd things like that when I was around that age,like how I'd bring my books with me between classes instead of go to my locker,
so I'd get to class super early, and just sit there and meditate o3o
Everyone thought I was sleeping

My advice: don't resist the urge. Trench-coats are worth it. also send me pics when you eventually succumb to the urge i need trench-coated 'rar'-ing widderheel jack in my life like need 10/10 astoundingly win What is the largest gemstone you've ever seen? What's the favourite subject that you took in school? Is Twilight Sparkle actually as adorable as we have been led to believe?

The final Guinness Book of Records record holder remained awake for over 11 24-hour days, before they scrapped the record for fear people might hurt themselves trying to break it. Well, we all know the first minipony you'd pick for your pocket would be Lyra. Good choice. Like this? What's your favourite quote for any and all situations? What's the time? How often do you allow yourself to become sleep deprived? What's the densest item you own?
-
New Year's Day: the celebration of pretty much everything changing except the regularity of our orbit around the Sun and illegal-firework-induced sleep deprivation.
Happy new year's wishes to all (now that the new year has rolled over for all timezones).

Gudflappy. Adequateflappy. Badflappy. You're a mathematician; surely it is clear to you that the philosophy of solipsism is classifiable as a 'trivial solution' to the question of life, given that it renders all meaningless if true yet is, as far as we can tell, entirely undecidable. Black's a colour if you're working with paint, since it's the combination of all paint colours. It's like how white is a colour if you're working with light, since it's the combination of all light colours. Consider your edginess scientifically affirmed. EXAMS ONLY LAST THREE HOURS CLOCK. IS. TICKING, FLAPPY. CLOCK. IS. TICKING.

Thanks for the follow, o effulgent Grand High Exalted Mystic Raccoon Ruler!

can confirm Definitely. Best scowl in the history of the universe? Best blep in the history of the universe? Best grin in the history of the universe? Best smirk in the history of the universe?
