I'm pulling this 100% out of my rear end but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the start of an actual epsiode:
Penny: [Bursts into apartment] Leonard, my internet stopped working. Can you do your "nerd magic" and make it work?
{Laugh track}
Leonard: Sorry Penny, we've got plans tonight. Penny: Oh, what, are you guys playing Dungeons and Dragons?
{Lught track}
Leonard: No...that's tomorrow night...{laugh track} We're seeing a movie.
Sheldon: [Bursts into room in full-Jedi costume, massive laugh track] Guys, we're going to be late. If we don't leave in exactly 3.2 minutes, accounting for 13.5 minutes of travel time, we won't have the 46.6 minutes we need to get popcorn, get seats that can accommodate all of us at the optimum viewing angle, and argue with the row behind us if the Special Editions are good...

Penny: And who are you supposed to be...a Klingon?

Sheldon: I won't even dignify that with a response...other than to say I despise Will Wheaton.
{Laugh track}
Raj: I hope there will be women there...you know I love the ladies!
{Laugh track}
Howard: sorry guys, I can't go...I have to stay home and was my mom's back.
{Laugh track}

From what I've absorbed about the show, that's extremely accurate. Including Sheldon's rivalry with Wil Wheaton.

Since Tumblr provided so much content, someone here would know. I was listening to Internet Historian's video on Dashcon, and they mentioned Welcome to Night Vale. Read the synopsis, sounded cool.
Listened to the first episode. When is it good/entertaining/interesting?

Depends? Most people seem to enjoy all of it, haven't gotten into it yet but it looks cool and spooky. If it seems up your alley just keep listening for a few episodes.

If you dont like the first episode or first few episodes then its not really for you because thats literally what the show is. Like Desert Oracle Radio. if you do like the first few episodes you then realise oh, this isnt going to end, theres like too many episodes and it just goes on and on and on and you quit disenchanted after around 10 - 15 episodes max. It really blew up with the wrong people and because the creators had no sense of quality control they just ran it into the ground.

I assume this is referencing someone in particular, but "man with beard, glasses, and male pattern baldness" doesn't exactly narrow the field much.

IMO, Night Vale kind of peaked at the end of Year 2. There's only so many times you can go back to the same well before feeling samey.

Yeah, internet weirdos call it soyface. From what i understand it comes from folks trying to game youtube suggestion metrics. Openly happy/excited faces get clicks, and since your face is the size of a postage stamp on most users screens, you have to emote so hard the cheap seats can see it on your promo image. Of course this looks weird and offputting when blown up past a thumbnail.

Specifically, internet nazis think the jews are conspiring to destroy white male fertility by putting estrogen in soy products. That face is supposed to be proof that they've been gotten to. They also think low testosterone causes male pattern baldness when it is actually high testosterone which is more closely related to hair loss.

And the people trying to sell that lie are men like Alex Jones, a man who sells a "male supplement" that has...guess what...soy in it.

It is specifically associated with vegetarian/vegan culture for a lot of the people who use soyboys, too. So its not AMERICAN and its not RED MEAT RIPE OFF THE BONE so it turns you into a woman.

Soy also contains a lot of phytoestrogens, which contains the word estrogens so obviously it will turn you in too a woman.

My T levels are wicked high (I'm FTM trans) and I can confirm my hair line is recceding and thinning so you don't even NEED your own balls for genetics to screw you.

Lavender oils and Tea Tree however - will make you smell like grandma and give you gynecomastia.

I know several MtF that have gone from pretty much bald on top to having hair again.

Estrogen, it's literally magic.

actually, I personally would love to see the long-rumored final match between Hulk Hogan and Vincent Kennedy McMahon-Dammit, in a Last Man Standing Hell in a Cell No Disqualification bout, to be held at high noon in beautiful Riyadh, SaPARTSi AraUNKNOWNa. Add the Undertaker and HHH to this two-and-a-half-hour hardcore epic and I would find myself simply over the moon with the pure and simple joy of being one of The WWE Universe :angel:


I wouldn’t pay money to see it, because :laffo: at giving the McMahons money, but I’d definitely look into piracy
