<Whimemsz> "A joke dated c. AD 400, recently translated from Greek, shows similarities to the Parrot sketch. It was written by Hierocles and Philagrius and was included in a compilation of 265 jokes titled Philogelos: The Laugh Addict. In the Greek version, a man complains to a slave-merchant that his new slave has died. The slave-merchant replies, "When he was with me, he never did any such thing!"[9]"
<Whimemsz> that's a quality ancient joke
<@guitarplayer> Hierocles & Philagrius, Greek stand-up comedians of c. 400 AD
<@Tanaphor> What's the deal with trireme food?

<Smaug> I once threw an open container of apple sauce at someone as my bus was leaving in a Friday afternoon in high school
<Smaug> it hit a kid right in the face as he was walking to his mom's car
<Karch> poor guy
<Smaug> oh boy karch
<Smaug> I would throw rocks and batteries
<Smaug> spit gum at passing cars
<Smaug> I feel bad, because I remember that kid was looking really happy
<Smaug> he was having a great day, and the weekend had just started
<Karch> and them BAM!
<Smaug> precisely :)
<Smaug> on the other hand, it was the most perfect throw I've ever done
<Smaug> thrown with my right hand, on a moving bus, at a moving target
<Smaug> obviously God wanted that to happen

<Whimemsz> man, I need to, at some point, make Hikoomayii less of an Algonquian ripoff

<@pharazon> so don't worry about it

<Play> i have decided to derive the person markers in Poswa & Pabappa from evidential

<Cev> pthag
<pthag> cev
<Cev> If you and I were to play chess
<Cev> and if you were to intentionally maneuver me such that I cannot make any movies whatsoever without placing my king into check (which is illegal)
<Cev> What is that?
<Cev> You win, right?
<pthag> that is called checkmate
<Cev> Yes.
<Cev> That is called checkmate.
<Cev> And you win.
<Cev> this fucking stupid fucking chess app I got on my fucking phone
<Cev> thinks that that is stalemate
<Cev> and is a "draw"
<pthag> well
<Cev> You can call it "stalemate" if you want
<pthag> did it happen after like n repeated iterations
<Cev> But it is not a fucking draw
<pthag> of the same move
<Cev> No
<pthag> idk the autistic details of stalemate
<pthag> do u still have the board
<pthag> or did u throw ur phone into a piece of agriculture

<Cev> I haven't seen what this conversation is
<Cev> But I agree with whimsz

<Cev> I do get confused when people talk about like, bubble universes
<Cev> It always seems like from what they say that the universe should have an edge
<Cev> and I'm like ok what's at the edge
<Cev> is it a wall?
<Cev> a big beautiful wall?
<Cev> is it heaven?
<Cev> maybe it's heaven
<miekko> imagine a situation where the universe forms some kind of closed surface
<miekko> e.g. a 3-sphere or a 3-torus or somesuch
<Cev> Right, it doesn't— at least SEEM to me— that that's what they mean though
<miekko> this is at least an interpretation that should make sense
<miekko> now, we could imagine there being other universes with similar topologies
<miekko> existing in some kind of "meta-universe"
<miekko> heck, maybe even a flat plane universe
<miekko> that extends forever in this meta-univesre
<miekko> anyways, so
<miekko> we could imagine strange things like a spherical universe embedded within a spherical universe
<miekko> or a spherical universe within a toroidal universe
<miekko> toroidal universes that pass through each other's "holes"
<Cev> giggity
<miekko> these universes are called 'gay' universes
<Cev> Is that the technical term used by cosmologists?
<miekko> yes.
<miekko> they seriously hope we do not live in such a universe.
<Izambri> homophobic
<Cev> Yeah me too
<miekko> in case we do, the catholic church has prepared an ARSEnal of weapons of mass destruction to utterly destroy the universe
<Izambri> "Darling I hope our universe isn't gay"

<Whimemsz> there's no way it's real

<@cev> I don't feel that way about Piraha
<@cev> I feel that way about the ridiculous fucking, like

<@cev> it has

<Whimemsz> oh, apparently Oppenheimer didn't say it at the time
<Whimemsz> I didn't know that
<Whimemsz> he just thought about it
<@pharazon> do you think he regretted not saying it
<@pharazon> i mean you don't get a chance like that very often

<Tanaphor> If you look very closely at it it's actually a vagina and also a sword going in a butt
<Tanaphor> Fraught with symbolism
<pthagphone> islamic occultism is its own game
<Whimemsz> Fraught, Lisa...or Freud?
<Tanaphor> Sometimes a sword going in a butt is just a sword going in a butt

<cevv> In a thousand years English will be an extinct and undocumented language and the only recordings of it will be Hanson and Bone Thuz N Harmony songs
<Legion> thousand years seem short
<Legion> surely after spoken English has passed away written English will linger as the liturgical language of baptists for a millenia or two
<cevv> Lec: Yes but they'll lose all of their bibles
<cevv> So they'll end up desperately trying to phonetically recite Hanson and Bone Thugz N Harmony lyrics
<cevv> wondering what secrets they hold

<dhok> you can become a congresscritter at 25 in the house
<dhok> senator at 30
<dhok> pthag is there any minimum age requirement for MPs
<pthag> probably
<pthag> i doubt they would let a toddler be an mp
<pthag> but who can say
<dhok> that historical primary source Blackadder informs me that william pitt the younger was nine
<dhok> at the time of his premiership
<pthag> you're forgetting william pitt the even younger
<dhok> oh yes
<dhok> do age requirements prevent prince andrew from bestowing seats in the Lords upon his lovers

<Barsuga> My gang name is Ram Bam
<Ser> Barsuga: is that a double-joke on "ram [the] bum" and Maimonides?
<Barsuga> Ser : Also my fursona is a sheep
<Barsuga> It works on many levels

<Smaug_> a lot of these He-Man stories involve people trusting Skeletor, which is implausible in the sxtreme
<Smaug_> he's a purple man with a floating skull for a head who is always cackling
<Radius> sounds trustworthy enough to me
<Radius> he should challenge trump for the republican nomination, i bet he coud win it
<Smaug_> I'd vote for Skeletor
<Radius> note how his name anagrams to "elektors"

<CUM_SIURAN> Cevfr: your nick is slightly different every day
<Cevfr> You can't cross the same river twice.
<Barsuga> You can
<Barsuga> I have done so
<Ducane> Impossible
<Smaug> no, very possible
<Smaug> you do it once in the physical world, and again in your imagination
<pharazon> Maybe the river goes in a circle and the same water was flowing by the next time
<pharazon> What if it was frozen
<Smaug> Mathematician solves the paradox of the river with one simple trick! Philosophers hate him!
<pharazon> 😎

<Cevfr> It is possibly even more unfunny than the "Nobody:" joke
<pharazon> What is the joke
<Cevfr> Go to literally any youtube video and read the first 100 comments.
<CUM_SIURAN> it's more of a meme template than a joek
<Rad[]> yeah
<Rad[]> it highlights that something is coming from left field or random or unprompted, but i don't fully get the purpose of framing a bunch of things that way
<Cevfr> well what annoys me is how exaprevalent it is
<Cevfr> "the first 100 comments" is almost literally true in many cases
<Rad[]> is it possible for something to be only gigaprevalent
<Cevfr> yeah
<Cevfr> things like bacteria
<Cevfr> It goes mice < invertebrates < bacteria < members of the countably infinite set < unfunny jokes

<Tanaphor> I once looked up how they tested breast implants on animals
<Tanaphor> And was disappointed to find out they don't give rats a giant pair of tits
<CUM_SIURAN> of course you did
<CUM_SIURAN> of course you were

<pthag> barabbas is an exemplary scapegoat, because he committed the sins of israel
<Tanaphor> all of them?
<Tanaphor> He had a busy day

<Cev> i'm ready
<Cev> got my graham crackers and jug of milk and mountain dew
<Radius> okay rdy
<Cev> and I have toothpicks jammed in between each of my front bottom teeth because it gives me pseudosexual pleasure

<Cevt> There are— I guess?— cases in which depending on which anatomical feature you pick you can find synapomorphies supporting entirely irreconcilable trees
<Cevt> Leading one to only conclude that at various points in time a wizard visited earth and caused various lineages to independently evolve identical structures in differing samplings

<Barsuga> Can we just give knives to monkeys and see what happens


<tanaphor-work> I wonder if you could get enough feral children to get together and form a little tribe
<tanaphor-work> and then u study them
<tanaphor-work> see how well they do
<tanaphor-work> As usual most of my anthropology ideas involve kidnapping


<Barsuga> Who was the antiquity Hitler
<Whimemsz> everyone


<@Cev> phar is Norbert Wiener (lol Wiener)'s book on Cybernetics comprehensible to normies like me at all or is it written in Akkadian like Neumann's book on game theory?
<@pharazon> No idea
<@pharazon> It’s not about Lyndon Johnson so who cares
<tiramisu> you say that like Akkadian is a hard language


<Legion> Keanu Reeves only accepted because of the big paycheck he'll be able to give away to puppy orphanages


<tiramisu> why would Trump be in a hotel he didn't own?
<@pharazon> I’ve been to hotels I didn’t own


<@Legion> oh youtube has been lying for years
<@Legion> they lie about their customer service being humans when most of the time you're talking to a bot
<@Legion> they lie about them demonetizing video that contain the word "gay" in the title
<@Legion> for all we know youtube doesn't even exist and it was all a lie
<@Legion> it was just dailymotion all along


<tanaphor-work> My great-grandfather had a Hitler moustache
<tanaphor-work> Although back then they only called it "What future generations will call a Hitler moustache"

<pthagnar> uh oh the psychic is bleeding from all orifices
<Barsuga> Including the anus?
<Barsuga> please check
<Barsuga> I need to know to write the Memory Alpha page
<pthagnar> this is a classy show, it is merely implied
<pthagnar> when ur eyes bleed u can presume ur anus is
<pthagnar> eyes r very low on the hierarchy of spontaneous bleeding compared to the anus
<Barsuga> My eyes have never bled so far
<pthagnar> can u say the same for ur anus
<Barsuga> Any bleeding there was extremely minor


<Cov> it's a popular movie
<Cov> like all three Die Hard movies or all six Star Wars movies
<Barsuga> what are the six star wars movies
<Cov> Rogue One, Solo, the two Ewok movies, the Holiday Special, and the Clone Wars
<Barsuga> Is it the holiday special, the Ewoks movies, the clone wars, Solo and Rogue One
<Barsuga> JINX


<tiramisu> C
<tiramisu> C
<tiramisu> C
<tiramisu> COMBO
<tiramisu> BREAKER
<Barsuga> Careful with that meme
<Barsuga> It's an antique


<Cov> This is why America limits presidents to 8 years
<Cov> So if some power-hungry totalitarian despot like Gerald Ford gets elected, his power is limited.


<Vore Vidal> It seems that speakers of Maltese came to feel that all loan verbs must have an initial geminate consonant,whether or not this was actually true of the item being borrowed.This state of affairs manifests itself rather spectacularly in more recent borrowings from English (Type D verbs), in which initial consonants are duly geminated (despite this never being the case in the English source items), but which also fall into the conjugation class of weak-final verbs, as in ddawnlowdja ‘to down-load’.
<Vore Vidal> lol
<J. Jacob Wolzell von Femdom> i mean
<J. Jacob Wolzell von Femdom> the logic is sound
<J. Jacob Wolzell von Femdom> certainly if your principal source of loanwords is Sicilian
<Oïphilus Al-Mutarjim> pparle ammericcannò
<Vore Vidal> hhello i am ssiccillian
<Oïphilus Al-Mutarjim> ngngandrangggeta
<Oïphilus Al-Mutarjim> if you triple geminate a consonant in front of a mirror the ndrangeta come and kill you


<Barsuga> Apparently Pope Ratzinger estimates that there are 100 fluent latin speaker
<Barsuga> But maybe he has high standards
<Legion> well he said "fluent"
<Legion> which is quite a higher bar than "conversational"
<Barsuga> Imagine you're trying to speak latin to the pope
<Barsuga> and he just looks at you exasperated
<Barsuga> omg like can you not
<Barsuga> (the pope is a Valley Girl in my scenario)
