Fine, being condescending isn't cool. I get tired of this crap after a while. Little jokes like cash-in of duty or M$ put into the most irrelevant thing just to work as a 'take that' have really been bothering me lately. Maybe I'm just seeing that in your post because I've seen it so many times before, but its just so freaking annoying looking.Scarecrow 8 said:
Well, maybe in Japan it is. Here in America, we pronounce 42 "four two", which has no other meanings besides possibly "for to", which is, of course gibberish without any additional context. Although this does explain a lot about their...eh....military strategies....during WWII. Also, [REFERENCE TO "LOST" GOES HERE]. I'm too lazy to actually make one.Kimarous said:
As for a shocking truth...
Whenever you use a computer, you are simply observing a pattern of lights and sounds. When you use a keyboard, you are just pushing buttons to make the pattern of lights and sounds more favorable. Now think about how much time you've spent on your computer.
Just because a time traveller is from the future doesn't mean that he/she can break laws with ease. Killing Hitler would still be incredibly difficult.Sewblon said:
The fact that each cigarette may shorten your life is not the problem. I'd happily swap a few years of old age for a bit of enjoyment now. It's the way that you're going to die because of smoking that's more of a concern.
More Japanese language TRUTH!!!Naheal said:
Not even the average Japanese person can read the majority of the kanji (Chinese-style characters) in their language. In school, they learn around 2000 of about 20,000 that have been adopted or created. There are tests that Japanese people take to see if they can master beyond that, which are similar in idea to foreign language tests. There are plenty of foreigners out there who can read kanji more proficiently than some Japanese (partly because the Japanese language test makes us learn them all better than they know them in order to earn the higher levels.)
Another truth:
I am sure the case is very similar today with English grammar and vocabulary when comparing native speakers to foreign adopters of the language.
Finally:
Apparently I couldn't handle the truth either, because it got away from me too.
EDIT: Damn, Japanese characters don't work in spoiler titles. Had to write it in roma-ji.
How the hell do you walk around with that thing?!Ahlycks said:
OT:
The cake was definitely not a lie. Infact, it was an actual cake. It just had a hooker in it as well, and you killed her when you cut the cake. You suck.
HE IS BEHIND YOU, GODDAMNIT!
Guys, guys, guys... hitler had like 5 assassination attempts on him, clearly the work of a time traveller
Did you just give me a justification to kill everyone?Kimarous said:
I think you did...
Not that I needed one.

EDIT: Something seems to have gone completely wrong at the first time quoting...
It should be fixed now.
More likely:Homo sapiens have only been around for roughly 200,000 years, and haven't been doing very much for most of that time. In fact, only within the last century have we advanced technologically to the point of contacting said Aliens with radio waves.siddif said:
Now, the main thing here is that space is monstrously fucking huge. What you're asking is for there to be a hugely advanced civilisation, capable of interstellar travel, who would take off at the mere sight of human evolution. Except with light (and any subsequent information) taking so long to get there, it could take millions of years for that information to travel far enough for such a civilisation to see it.
And lets say they do. They see some monkeys standing upright drawing shit on walls.
Are they going to up and leave their planet, and travel untold vast distances, you know, for the hell of it? What would they possibly gain? What could they do instead? Send radio waves.
We've already done that. They haven't gotten very far yet.
I'm assuming that untold millions of years from now we'll pick up a return radio wave that says "hi" in their language.
And we won't know what to fucking make of it.
Edit: removed spoiler tags because it fucks with the formatting.
