Random question of the day:

Has there ever been another case of a blind person driving a car for a bet outside of Stevie Wonder?

 

[Idea]

Yes, though I've only found it happening in controlled experimental conditions it seems like.

Random question of the day:

Can toxic behavior and mean behavior be considered the same thing?

 

[Daisie]

I wouldn't say they're the exact same thing but they do have a heck of a lot of overlap.

 

[Idea]

They certainly can. Whether they are is another question entirely though, and one which I would most often say is not the case. Indeed being nice is often considered toxic behavior (most often when it's interpreted as some form of subconscious patronizing).

Random question of the day:

Is it possible for a real life human being to not be frightened by any of the horror going on around them if they were to swap places with Doomguy in the original 1993 DOOM game?

 

[Idea]

Maybe. Well, certainly there are people in comatose, but I'm assuming those don't count.

Maybe if it's this lady!

Random question of the day:

Why is it that mirrors don't cast a reflection whenever a vampire ends up looking into them?

Mirrors can't handle that level of undead swag, so they just give up and show nothing

 

[Idea]

There's a popular theory that because of the time period in which that idea was popularized silver was considered holy (no idea how accurate this part is) the vampire wouldn't be reflected due to their repulsion to silver.

From what I hear however, the most accurate theory regards a vampire's lack of a soul, in the sense that the mirror would metaphorically or actually reflect people's souls.

 

[Daisie]

I second the swag answer

Silver wasn't considered all that holy. In terms of oldest European folklore iron was considered the thing that monsters were most susceptible to. You literally often just bonked or stabbed something with iron and it was done.

But also with folklore you can get a hundred proposed remedies for something. But none of it was silver actually.

But in the tradition of adding new attributes to folkloric creations, vampires not showing up on mirrors was entirely an invention of Alexander Dumas' "The Vampire Of The Carpathian Mountains" as a dramatic device. There is nothing to do with silver about it. Or any reason given. Just a quick set of attributes for suspicion.

Random question of the day:

To the male users of the site, do you plan on joining the No Shave November movement and growing a full beard this month?

 

[Idea]

I had never even heard of it, but no. That being said I ain’t shaving it either, I just trim my beard.

Random question of the day:

I'm too lazy to shave most of the time so I tend to just participate by default for most of the month

I had never even heard of it, but no. That being said I ain’t shaving it either, I just trim my beard.

So No Shave November is when you just grow out a beard for men's health. And then you donate to some men's health awareness orgs or something. No one forces you to trim, but if you are going out saying you are doing No Shave you have to at least keep the facial hair

What's the most boring cartoon episode you've ever seen?

I know I've seen boring cartoons, but I honestly forget them as soon as I'm done, haha!

Random question of the day:

What's the ideal length of an RPG game, main story, sidequests and everything included?

 

[Ayama]

I think that would be heavily dependant on what the player is wanting/looking for. For myself, I would say it's 'as long as possible, as long as everything is self-contained and there isn't an insane amount of repetitive grinding involved' (meaning there's no way to miss any sidequests and, ideally, the game plays through the exact same way every time).

 

[Nu Epiq]

It depends on what type of RPG. I'm more of a JRPG player so ideally I like something between 60-70 hours, maybe 100 for completion.

Random question of the day:

Is any backlash directed at YouTubers who pull tattoo pranks on people justified?

 

[Idea]

No. Some backlash is justified, but any backlash should be in proportion and appropriate to the offense.
