I don't understand. What is a "torblet."

Torbjörn is a character in Overwatch who's really short and looks a lot like a typical fantasy Dwarf. "Torblet" is presumably a nickname for him.

This is a pretty weak burn since it's factually incorrect. No foreign nationals donated her campaign, that's illegal. Some Saudis donated to the Clinton Foundation, which is a charity and had no role in financing her campaign at all.

Is this a :911: joke that I don't understand, or is it just a bird sitting on a football field ?

The field has blue turf, which is unusual for a football field. The goose probably mistook it for a pond from above and now is just sitting there even though it's clearly not a pond.

What is this? Why is it designed this way?

It looks like a vending machine. Some of the letters removed I can kinda understand because they could be confused for numbers (I for1, O for 0, S for 5) and the labels for the snacks could make someone think that like, O3 is 03 and cause them to get confused when entering 03 in the machine doesn't work. But other letters seem to be skipped for no real reason, like K and Q.

I just realized how loving weird it is that the tree on Knuckle's side takes 17 generations, and on Julie-Su's side takes 5 generations, to reconverge upon common parentage. Is everyone on the Knuckles side a teen parent, and everyone on the Julie-Su side a geriatric dude banging a younger woman? Even then it seems like a hard discrepancy to explain. That's way weirder than banging your fifth-to-seventeenth cousin.

I'm guessing there's time travel involved.

Related to editing these to thumbnails, what's everyone's criteria for going either thumbnail or full image? Thumbnail only if the image is over a certain amount? All the time? Randomly curious.

I don't think thumbnailing is necessary anymore unless you're posting a ton of images in one post. Images wider than the post now resize to fit in it, table breaking is a thing of the past.

The best part was that kid doing all the painstaking research to find out that every president was a descendant of King John... except for Martin Van Buren. What are the odds that exactly one wouldn't be? something something illuminati

I can believe it. Van Buren grew up in an insular Dutch-American community (his first language was Dutch, even) whereas every other early president was super Anglo.

That's basically what happened to the anti-tank dogs the Soviets used. They used their own tanks to train the dogs and so rather than running under German tanks, they preferred to run under Soviet tanks.

The worst thing about the Patriots is that they win too much. They haven't had a bad year in the twenty-first century and they've only had maybe one or two merely "okay" years over the same period. It's maddening to watch a team that isn't yours be that consistently good for that long.

here's a handy chart that should stop that in its tracks



If you're watching 4 hours of NFL, you're getting just under 20 minutes of actual football, and most of that will be boring. Watch a highlight package afterwards.

Statistics like this come up a lot, but "players standing around between plays" is significant. Seeing the way they line up, the pre-snap motion, that's just as much a part of the game as the actual "gameplay."
