You just understand them in your own way.

When this first came out, we interpreted it as:

Who? Who has? Who has fish? Who has fish from France?

Can you encourage them to hurry up with a bit of "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa?

"Push it"
"Push it real good"

So... on average late 30s/early 40s? So it's actually a Lemmy post, rather than a Reddit post?

I got detention off of a teacher for saying "Hitler the Shitler" or "Hitler is a Shitler" or something suchlike during a lesson, even though several other kids had already said it and didn't get in trouble.

Technically, the detention was for swearing, though I chose to interpret it as "Miss Teacher loves Hitler and he is her boyfriend".

I instigated a petty campaign of cartoons, blackboard messages, textbook graffiti and just general rumours that this poor teacher was genuinely a Hitler-loving-Nazi, and had a Hitler shrine in her house. As I was generally honest, well behaved etc, it was readily believed and spread quickly.

As she was relatively unpopular as a teacher, many of the other students joined in, goosestepping past her in the corridor, nazi saluting behind her back etc.

After a few weeks, upon entering the classroom to find a full blackboard chalk cartoon of her and Hitler getting married, she started crying and shouted at us and we all felt awful.

I apologised to her after the lesson, and she actually apologised for unfairly singling me out for punishment "to set an example" and oddly, we actually got on pretty well after that, and the Hitler jokes faded out naturally.

You can mod almost everything in Dwarf Fortress, down to the shear strength of a single beard hair - but you can't mod the threading :)

Was one of the records "Largest Dwarf Fortress Fort with a playable frame rate"?

Yeah, you're probably right about the butter. Additional cheese could do the job better.

I'd mark you 8/10 for a battenburg and 10/10 for a Cheesus Christ :)

I don't think we're at the stage to be handing out numbers here, but I think you could improve your score with the following:

  • You're using two colours of cheese - this is great - but why no picture or pattern? A simple quartering of yellow and orange squares would help - or if you're feeling adventurous, a little house, heart, pacman, face of Christ etc.
  • The cheese is only partially melted. If you have access to a grill, you might want to leave it under a bit, until it begins to bubble.
  • There's not enough of it. You know why toasters have two slots in them? You should always eat toast in sets of two.
  • This may be controversial, depending on where you live, but to my mind the brown lumpy stuff ruins the purity of the cheese on toast. With the exception of butter, which is a structural glue, and can be considered part of the toast, "cheese on toast" should be both the title of the meal, and the list of ingredients.

"Like" is a strong word. I understand the use for it, and will be using some of it in a few particular locations, but I don't really like it like it.

I don't have gravel, but I'm considering using some round the back of the house in a few places, whenever we get round to doing up the "garden".

  • Opportunist/casual burglars and thieves tend not to cross it because it's noisy, "Crunch, crunch, let's rob next door instead".
  • If you have weed-proof membrane under it, it's low maintenance.
  • You can plant things deliberately through it, which get water and grow happily, whilst being defended from weeds.
  • As long as you have a way of transporting the bags, it's petty easy to install by an amateur.
  • Allows soak-away of rain/flood water.
  • Durable and cheap to repair - no cracking from tree roots/weather, repair by pouring more stones in.
  • Doesn't become slippy/slimey/muddy with rain or flood.
  • Turns wheelie-bin day into an exciting all-terrain rally adventure :)

All the things you say are totally true though, it's just sometimes a case of weighing things up in your specific circumstances.

...or they just live with someone who needs to be drinking more water.

It's fine, you're doing well. You just need a few comments back and forth, then you start your fourth comment with "well, actually I think you'll find...".

On the fifth comment, you need to attack a minor spelling or grammatical error they have made.

Sixth comment, try and sound like you're reasonable, and they're obviously not... then it's a race!

First person to compare their opponent to "basically Hitler" wins!

You should receive between 100 and 1000 argument XP, depending on the level of your opponent (you get about 10% more for a victory, but you can still level up if you lose every time).
