I was thinking more along the lines of…
C’mon, ignorant human…I know you have two more reps in you. Let’s go!
“Change the gravitational constant of the universe, thereby altering the mass of the barbell.”
This one likely gave every Whovian on the board a heart attack. [I’m not one of them, but that was the first thought that came to my mind]
The Doctor will no longer be in
@Czarcasm, next time you may want to make your title a wee bit more specific.
“The Doctor is in!” is how his show started every episode.
Perhaps ask an active mod to add “Wind down yer radios”?
Naw. A lot of responses so far and none of them confused about the topic.
Question about new home solar system
I thought the OP wanted a model of the sun and all the planets for their home.
Had one in grade school. It was not to scale.
Up until you posted this, I never even considered that it was about solar panels. I assumed that it was about a model solar system!
I guess I’m a terminal nerd. My first thought was about colonizing outer space.
Mine too. Tired of this solar system, thinking of trying Proxima Centauri.
And now this:
Got charged at by a black bear
Even though it’s silly, the first place my mind went was to think the bear said the OP owed it money. I guess there was a slight misreading there, too, as my brain omitted the “at” and just read it as “got charged by…”
My thought was, “Huh? It’s not new.”, then, “Is this an update because they found something new or because they have demoted some planets? But that’s not new information…” So I had to click on it. Had no idea it was about solar panels. More of a mislabeled thread title…
Not really. It is pretty common to refer to solar panels and their related equipment together as a “solar system”, at least by the companies that sell them.
Please recommend a nonfiction vacation book
For the whole time that thread has been active, I assumed the OP was looking for a book about vacations, like a nonfiction travelog or something. I finally clicked on that thread, and realized what they actually want is a book to read while on vacation.
Cabbage card games.
Yeah. I parsed “home solar system” as a single noun phrase for a well-known consumer product.
It’s about like reading “Question about new Ford Caravans” and thinking they’re asking about driving a parade of family wagons across a river without a bridge.
* Yes, I know the Caravan was a Dodge, not Ford, product.
New variety of apple? Interesting. I’ll keep an eye out when I’m produce shopping.
Oh, it’s a person– a Canadian swimming champ. Huh. Had not heard of her.
What is your reaction to Android 15?
I thought it was a Dragonball Z reference; not about phones. GIGObuster made a joke about that in the thread before I noticed it, as well.
For me, I imagined that the bear was paying for something with a card; mostly because of a joke from an old comic strip where someone is yelling “Look out, that rhino is going to charge!” as an anthropomorphic rhino lady pulls a card out of her purse.
I had no idea that Android 15 meant anything except Google’s OS.
I’m out of touch and not familiar with Dragonball Z.
