Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

From a biological (correct) point of view. I think nutritionally they're vegetables.

What's the nutritional definition of vegetable?

  • Fruit (botany): the ovary of a flowering plant (sometimes including accessory structures),
  • Fruit (culinary): any edible part of a plant with a sweet flavor,
  • Vegetable (culinary): any edible part of a plant with a savory flavor.
  • Vegetable (legal): commodities that are taxed as vegetables in a particular jurisdiction

Following that logic and applying it to other foodstuff, I eat about 40 fruits/vegetables a day.

Is there something wrong with the language centers in my mom's brain? Because she has a tendency to mash words together (e.g., "dutz" instead of "ditz" or "putz"), use more obscure terminology instead of common words, or just plain make stuff up (e.g., "ki yi" for a dog yelping/whining, or somehow thinking that "reef" means to "pull" — i.e., "stop reefing on that if it's not moving!").

It's been just over a year since I started my Tangled/Bioshock Infinite mash-up, and Rapunzel hasn't even entered the story yet. Fuuuuck.

Looking for some stories?

3 years from now it's likely they'll still be making Transformers movies. That's ten years of Transformers movies. Think about that. I came to this line of thought after thinking about the summer of 2004, which was ten years ago. I was just thinking about how Id watch new episodes of Transformers Energon in the evening (I may be muddling different periods of time) and went to a water park near my dad's apartment. I also remember watching Toonami back then. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that this was ten years ago

Edit: [down] well, Hollywood could try something new instead of spouting out sequels . I mean , TEN YEARS OF SEQUELS. Think about it. Since 2007, sequels , prequels and reboots have been the highest growing movies during blockbuster season, with a few exceptions. If this trend continues, a few years right now well have seen TEN STRAIGHT YEARS of said trend. But it's also been predicted that the trend is unsustainable and the system might collapse on itself as soon as next year

I started thinking: kids are way more open-minded than teenagers because they haven't gotten to the Intenet yet where the whole community has already decided what "quality" is.

Soon this Internet generation will give way to a new one and it'll have its own favorite websites and sources of meme.

I wonder if the Internet will one day cease to exist?

Only if it's replaced by something else, and every "something else" I can think of is fundamentally just a more advanced application of the same basic principle of "computers talk to each other to get information from point A to point B". But then, if we could imagine the next thing, we'd already be testing it.

No, I mean, cease to exist for good. It will cease to exist and life will be back just as it was before the Internet. As in, you woke one day and Internet suddenly stopped working.

No? It's quite easy to imagine. Not necessarily pleasant, though.

Perhaps a sufficiently strong solar flare could knock it out temporarily, but it'd just be everyone in the world (or more likely, everyone on the dayside of the planet) having to weather an internet outage.

I imagine the next step being applied telepathy.

I don't want to become a cynical , jaded asshat like many generation x-ers that you see on the internet . I'm not saying they all are but there's a good deal of them that are, like on cracked, or screenjunkies. For example, when these people complain about the new TMNT movie, the cartoon they talk about is the one from the 80s. I grew up with the 2003 cartoon, so I'm immediately alienated. But I guess that's not a good example of the tone I'm pointing out- you'd need to look at their material to get an idea of that
